Prejudice, bias, whatever ...

Re: Re: Prejudice, bias, whatever ...

My best friend and I have dated multiple numbers of men named Mike and John with terrible results each and every time. We now cringe when we meet a guy with either name. Silly, yes, but true.

I don't know how silly it is. My best friend and I do the same thing with the same names. (Hey, your not my best friend are you?)

Actually, it's mike for both of us, and John was just my own conclusion.

I ran into an old friend named Mike when I was visiting her, and when I introduced him to her, she couldn't *help* but roll her eyes. What can I say?

I think all of us have prejudices and bias, conscious or unconscious.

A great writer, such as Shakespeare, can write for his time and his audience yet communicate across cultures and environments.

Yes, and on the subject of names... I've always had a soft spot for Shylock.

I've always had a soft spot for Shylock.

Even if you're joking, Joe, I do too. What happens to him is merciless, worse than the bond he demanded. P.

Yes, it was a damned shame, wasn't it.
