I think that was being sarcastic. It was talking about things that people think but never say. I don't really think that the person who posted it really thinks like that (I don't know if they do, but I know myspace and that sounds pretty sarcastic).

yes, exactally, it is meant to make a point, and it makes a very good one, in my opinion.
 
I think it's a joke, but people stereotype and label because it's easy, they don't have to actually use their brains, and justifies them choosing hate for no good reason.

i think they are kind of exagerating it a little bit, but there are definintly people out there that are EXTREMELY stereotypical.

Thats what I was thinking, that these are maybe the extreme versions of stereotypes because some of these just seem so exaggerated. Some of those just dont even make sense. I wouldnt be surprised if people actually thought this way though.

I have my nose pierced and I never thought of myself as a "goth" :weird:
