as a matter of fact, yes. although my so has a button pointing out, "why is the symbol for ANARCHY always drawn the same way?"
Sue
Are you a Klingon, or is that a turtle on your face?
uncle herb
LNS: That's a good point. Another point is -- why do the people with "QUESTION AUTHORITY" bumperstickers expect us to rigidly follow an order such as that without further explanation?

LNS: Not only are they conformist, but they tend to have a substantial amount of disdain for people who don't look like them.
Saint Bob
Funny you should say that. I have noticed in myself an instant distrust of people who look like me.
uncle herb
I have yet to see anyone who looks like me...
Lady Non Sequitur
Prolly the same reason all the gothics have about the same uniform (leather jacket, silver jewelry, dyed black or red hair....) 'swelp me, I'm friends with most of 'em, but I still think they're incredibly conformist individuals...
Saint Bob
MBS: If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own.

MBS: HELP!!!!!!! I'm in a world of sane people!!!!!!!!!
Lady Non Sequitur
I dunno ... they cope with me okay ... although I took a low-key approach to getting to know most of them (ie, just hanging out, not being anything but myself, and some of them started talking to me) ... They do have a lot of disdain for some people who dress differently from them, tho, although you;d think the yuppies would know better than to go in the Roxy and make fun of the gothics loud enough for anyone to hear...

LNS, from what I've seen, the gothics spend a lot more energy making fun of the yuppies than the yuppies do of the gothics. Actually, rather than make fun of them, most yuppies just kind of stare. But what do you expect when you dress like that?
They just strike me as a rather immature bunch of people. Sure, yuppies are lame, but they've got one thing going for them when compared against goths -- they're missing several additional layers of pretentiousness.
Lady Non Sequitur
Unka herb - You must hang with different yuppies than the ones I've seen ... most recent smugness, my SO came off the dance floor and handed me his leather jacket because he was getting too hot and I was sitting out with a bad ankle ... the dits behind me made fun of that fact, loud enough for me to hear, so I casually flung the jacket over my shoulder, making sure I hit them ... those are the idiots I get annoyed with .. but you're right, the Gothics and the ex-cambodians have a whole lot of pretensiousness wrapped up in themselves...
ZooKeeper
Oh God, now I agreed with Saint Bob! should I just roll over and die now? ;>

I don't know any gothics, I think. I know a few former punks... one is now wearing Laura Ashley clothes and devoting herself to her daughter.
The one and only time I was at Tracks, there was a distinct group of people there who my friends and I started calling "the dead people" from their Cure-ish makeup. Sorry; I can't imagine doing anything that silly. You become a caricature of yourself. I don't know anyone who dresses like me. If I did, would it matter? Probably not.
Lady Non Sequitur
Those were probably the Goths. Was it a Thursday night?
doctor doom
Hey... I absolutely remember posting on this room. Who the hell is killing my posts?
uncle herb
LNS: Well, it seems that we mostly agree on the basic point, then. The main difference being that you're willing to hang out with them, and I'm not. But I'm certainly not one to tell someone how to choose their friends, and it seems like you're way ahead of most people in terms of open-mindedness since you're 1) willing to admit they're dingbats and 2) still willing to associate with them.
Buster Hymen
I don't know, but your posts are killing me.
Wormy Chestnut
Dig-It and I always called them "the crows." Of course, she was borderline Goth herself.
Lady Non Sequitur
Unka H - I hang out with them because they're fun, they keep me young, and despite the pretension a lot of them are nice people. Those I have no use for -- who provide me no companionship or amusement -- I don't bother with. Besides, if I stopped hanging out with them, where would I get the fodder for my new song, "I'm a Gothic?" <G>
uncle herb
Wormy, was her name Gabriella?

Sneaky bastard... he called a truce before I could bash him back for his last round of attacks.
Edit
You blew it, Jester...your button was MUCH better
when it said:
"Just because I'm doesn't mean I'm stupid."
But then to add:
Oops, "Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean I'm stupid."
...certainly adds a particular flavor to the whole ordeal.
I personally liked the first one better, but the two of
them together was pretty funny.
