I guess my favorite observation of all this, is no stereotypes work well (cultural, religious, clique) . I've got Christians who have no problem with my dress, and agnostics who do. 'Emo' types that you know would take a bullet for you, and fellow anarchist who'd put the gun to your head. 'Thugs'* that would give you the shirt off their back, and pastors that wouldn't give you a minute of time.

I've come to the realization that no matter who someone is, and no matter what crowd they try to fit into, you have to judge them as an individual.

*In referance to the hip-hop culture.

That is so very true. I agree. I've had 'preps' help me pick up my books (but, they are SO awful) and the wannabe-Goth's at my school steal my chair at lunch.
