A quote on prejudice

Prejudice causes a lot of damage in daily life. I was just reminded of that through a text I found in the profile of a man that chatted me up this morning, while I was casually working my street corner:

¨The 14 year old girl holding hands with her 3 year old son, the one you just called a slut... She was raped at the age of 11. The girl you just called fat...shes overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly... she spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped... he is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars... he fought for his country. That guy you just made fun of for crying... his mother is dying. Put this as your status if your against bullying. I bet 95 percent of you wont re-post this, but i'm sure the people with a heart and backbone will.¨

Same goes for punters, they are not awful people, just men (and sometimes women) going about their lives as everyone else.
