If you makes friends, do you mind their status?
 
Today my colleague told me," if you want to make friends with others, don't tell them that you are an ordinary salesclerk. Or you would be despised and they won't make friends with you." I totally cannot agree with her. In my opinion, the most important aspect of a relationship is honesty but not status or cheat, if you want to find some genuine friends. What aspects of a relationship do you find most important? By the way, do you mind I'm just an ordinary salesclerk?

A lot of people have service jobs or work in retail. That is just how it is. A job is a job. I think it's better they know first off, cause if they are going to be petty about it wouldn't be better if they do it right away, than find out later how shallow they are?

Tristan_Geoff 11-08-2015 09:42 PM

That seems like a really shallow worldview, one I believe should have died with the confederacy. Anyways, I don't really judge my friends based on their backgrounds. I think it's really cool how we live such different lives yet have so much in common.

Social status shouldn't matter either, one of the things I hate most about the world is social acceptance and what's deemed right and wrong socially. Look, we're all going to die someday. Live your life without caring about these things. Whatever gives you happiness (within reason) you should pursue, without denying anyone else of theirs.

DeadChannel 11-08-2015 10:23 PM

People who judge based on hierarchical position in society/monetary standing can suck a fatty.

Nameless 11-09-2015 02:08 AM

That sounds really stupid, most people have dumb jobs, has nothing to do with them. I think whoever said that was one of those kids who were sat in front of the TV too often as a child.

grindy 11-09-2015 05:35 AM

I don't mind people's status at all.
I do mind people apparently being members of some ****ed-up chinese terrorist cult though.

Mr. Charlie 11-09-2015 09:12 AM

You bigot. Terrorists need love too.

grindy 11-09-2015 09:17 AM

My bigotry fits nicely with me having 1488 posts.

Mr. Charlie 11-09-2015 09:21 AM

Haha. What makes you think he's a terrorist anyway?

He's been posting lots of quotes from "The Word Appears in the Flesh", which is the holy book of a pretty ****ed-up sect.

Hi Baihe, are you a member of Eastern Lightning?

Black Francis 11-09-2015 09:34 AM

Why would i mind if you're a salesclerk? i don't wanna sleep with you.. i only sleep with fast food employees.

Actually, im one of those ppl who evades answering questions about my job cause:

1. Its not an impressive job.

2. Im very bad at it.

I got nothing to boast about so i don't, regarding the honesty thing for the most part i agree with you, i do like to be honest up front but i do think it's best conveyed gradually as you gain a person's trust or else it can be a little too much to handle.

So few people have actually impressive jobs, when you think about it.

And different definitions of what is impressive. For exmpl my definition of an impressive job is being "A social media expert" and convincing ppl that's actually a legit thing.

Plankton 11-09-2015 09:55 AM

Would "Cabana Boy" be considered impressive? I'll need to gauge my status as one pretty soon.

Ashwell John 11-10-2015 06:51 PM

Not at all. Basically I liked their status too.

Mojo 11-11-2015 06:33 AM

This is stupid. I'd give anyone the time of day aslong as they aren't intolerant, overly judgemental, a dickhead or a tory.

The last two are interchangeable.

I know the feeling.

Caretaker 11-14-2015 08:59 PM

Well, me personally, i just don't care.. why would i? Hell, i've been an EMT, Medic in the army, Door to door alarm salesman, cashier, paperboy, salesman in a store, nurse, personal assistant for people with mental and physical handicaps, and right now i work at a gas station. Don't really feel like i can judge anyone!

Nameless 11-15-2015 03:34 AM

Try not to cream too hard people but I work graveyard shift at a hotel watching Netflix for 8 hours at a time.

Terrapin_Station 11-15-2015 05:02 AM

I don't at all judge people based on their job (or lack of one), economic status, educational background, body type, age, musical or other tastes, etc.

I do judge people a bit on whether they're snobs and whether they judge people based on jobs, etc. I don't care for people insofar as they do that.

And I judge people on whether they're easy-going, open-minded, positive-minded, friendly/kind/helpful/tolerant/understanding towards others, eager to experience things and learn things, etc. Those are the traits I like. Those are the sorts of people I like being around.

Nameless 11-15-2015 06:07 AM

Don't you think that kind of makes you closed-minded?

If you're responding to me (it would be helpful to make that clearer), no, not per how I define the terms, which is what I care about.

Maybe it would be closed-minded per how you define the terms, but that's up to you.

Hi friend. Someone has a misunderstanding about the Church of Almighty God because of the rumors on the internet, including me. Before I believe in Almighty God, I had a misunderstanding about the Church of Almighty God too. But later I thought I couldn’t be a parrot, I should be a person that can distinguish the right from the wrong. It's just like eating oranges. If I want to know whether the orange is sweet or not, I should personally taste it. Then I decided to investigate the Church of Almighty God. Fortunately, I did it. My misunderstanding was eliminated and I gained a lot from Almighty God's words. I sincerely hope that you can carefully investigate the Church of Almighty God, the returned Jesus.
God bless you!

Not being a parrot: just like eating oranges.

Well, I didn't like that, not one bit. But I'm glad I gave it a "shot".

I think it's just an unintentional admission of schizophrenia.

Hey, Baihe. How do you feel about communists?
