Do you tend to make assumptions about people you don't know? Or, do you ask questions and get to know them first?

I actually pride myself in not making general assumptions about people. I try to take them at face value at first and reserve my opinion until I get to know them better. I wish more people did that.

I find it funny that so many people feel the need to jump on someone (especially on sites like Mingle) because they write or speak something that is outside the norm... or what they think is outside the norm, without taking time to figure out who the person is, not just what they say.

I've always thought that it is better to open your mind and keep your mouth shut, and you can learn a lot that you'd have never guessed.

Eh... ironic post, I'd say. huh


Your post was ironic, or the thread?


The thread. ohwell

Why? Because you were bothered by me responding to someone's rate me thread for some reason? That's the only thing I can think of.

I was referring to the random assumptions that fly around here like flies at a picnic. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sorry if I hit a nerve. flowerforyou

I'm bothered by the fact that you are slightly funnier than me...!

It's not fair, I work hard at being funny. I have studied the works of the great mingle² comedians like Cottonelle and Waterloosunset. And here you come outta nowhere and out-funny me.

Well boo freakin' hoo...

sad

SingYouSweet? Yeah, I gotta song for you alright.

Kind of why I posted the thread. Just to see what people had to say, as most make assumptions.

It appears as though Kimmi has left this thread.

No need to panic, it's safe to assume she wants the position, as her earlier display of enthusiasm and zest for making assumptions is any indication.

I'll just leave this badge with Lady SMS here and hope that Kimmi returns soon to accept the position and start her new job on mingle.

Remember Kimmi, The Greater Metropolitan Mingle City residents are counting on you.

Don't let us down.

I think I'm wanted for a past due parking ticket in Assumption Parish, but thanks anyway. whoa Maybe it was Tererabone Parish, instead. It's been a while.

Yeah, well. I've seen so many others that I think would be better qualified at assumptions.
