Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

Cheers dude
It always amazes me how some people feel you should put up with all manner of crap in the name of "Honour". Don't get me started on it as I'll have a right old rant about it, suffice to say that my views are completely different to what most people in the Asian/Indian community have, which is why I sometimes feel like a bit of an outsider. I live for the day when everyone can break free from this way of thinking and can make their own independent life choices without having to put up with shit from people.
I do feel sorry for your matey, I only hope that she's been able to break free from this shitty situation and make a better life for herself. Everyone deserves happiness, no one should be going through unnecessary pain and suffering.

Maybe in time...

Well, the hope is that once YOUR generation grows to the same age as your parents' generation now - then the prevailing attitudes will have changed. Then your parents' generation will be the OAPs, and will have a lot less power and influence.

That is the hope, dude....
...though it really all depends on how strong my generation is in maintaining their own opinions and viewpoints in the face of opposition.
