    Alright, what the hell this I am mystified by.

    Monday night I put the wheelie bins out. Tuesday I left the house early and figured maybe the binmen haven't come yet, better leave them out until I come home. Tuesday evening I return...and they're already wheeled up the drive and placed back where they oughta be.

    Whattttttt who did that??

    I don't understand why Americans and British people are obsessed with harassing gingers. What's the fucking deal. There have been many cases in which people have been mistreated by soceity just for having red hair. There was a case in GB where a family of redheads had to move multiple times from place to place beacuse of the terrible abuse. For example, their son was walking by a mall checking his phone, some girl that he never met his life saw walked up to him and knocked the phone out of his hands. This girl probaly saw this boy for the first time in her life and threated him like this just beacuse his hair is red. WTF is wrong with these people, it's just a hair color.

    You know what the irony is? Redheads are uber-hot, and when these ginger haters grow up, they drool over them unashamedly.

    Add "redheads are uber-hot" to the list of things I will never understand.
    Irrelevant on further examination of the rest of the thread.

    That would most likely be because you are weird and/or broken.

    But redheads definitely have a hotness/cuteness about them that you just don't really get with other hair colours.

    I won't argue with that!

    For me, black hair is the best.

    In my books, cute and/or hot girls can be red-haired, but it's not necessarily the other way around.

    Yeah, ginger abuse tends to be directed at males does it not, especially be-freckled boys? Best way to deal with it as a lad growing up is to own it, start calling yourself a ginger ninja or something.

    Also red-headed females are hot, yes : Christina Hendricks.

    Speaking as a ginger lad, growing up the hair colour thing was a good lesson in the commonplace nature of discrimination + persecution and the general ignorance of those who don't experience it firsthand. More importantly though it helps you realise that despite what you are told as a child, violence does solve some things :)

    Alright, what the hell this I am mystified by.

    Solution - friendly neighbour or super-friendly binman. It does happen!

    People say I am ginger but I am not. Calling me ginger is like calling me gay; I wouldn't mind so much if I were, but I'm not!

    She's hot, but she's a shit example. She's not natural (hair colour, that is).

    I get that too, I was ginger as a small boy, then my hair thankfully darkened to brown, with an 'Auburn' twinge when it hits the sunlight.


    It's not even close to ginger though really.

    But yeah, I was one of those kids who would tell people "It's not ginger, it's strawberry blonde!"

    Apparently it's been going on for a while.

    I hope I will some day understand, so I'm not sure how well this qualifies, but: fiber-optic communication. It's a classic Clarke's Third Law situation for me. If anybody knows of some good introduction, either in text or video, that'd be great.
