But, for the record, every person I've ever met that played D&D, was strange and anti-social, but, then again, I've only met two people who actually play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14744861.post-22343005332015051302007-02-24T06:49:00.000-08:002007-02-24T06:49:00.000-08:00Why people need to label other people is beyond me...Why people need to label other people is beyond me.

People think that if you are a surfer, then you must smoke dope, slack off, and be unable to complete sentences composed of multisyllabic words.<BR/><BR/>If you enjoy playing sports, you are a rock headed jock. If you are good with computers, then you are a geek with a CRT tan. If you are a Christian, you are a fanatic idiot who refuses science. Etc.<BR/><BR/>It is easier to stereotype than it is to get to know someone, thus it will always be around I guess.<BR/><BR/>My approach?
