Today, I got lost in Manhattan. As I stood on the sidewalk trying to get someone’s attention for a little assistance, 25+ well dressed business folks blazed by me, purposely avoiding eye contact. Finally a teenager with spiked green hair and a pierced lip stopped, smiled and gave me perfect directions. MMT

it's because those business men don't really care about anything besides money, but that green haired teenager has realized life is much more than money. that teenager has realized already that what matters most in this world is being a good person. that teenager knows that in the end the only thing that matters is happiness, and seeing you happy made her happy.

greed is going to be the downfall of America

Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover - just not in the way most folks think.

I hate how people judge people by the way they look. The nicest people I have ever met have people at tattoo conventions convered in tattoos from head to toe and have piercings. They are the most insightful, expressive people I know.

Honestly I'm getting pretty sick of the MMT that are about "rich" looking people and "not so great" looking people, because it's always biased towards the latter. It's true that you shouldn't be judging people just from their looks, but contrary to the posters above, you can't automatically think the "underdog" appearance is actually better. I actually think that "rich" looking businessmen in suits have a really bad rep for greed and that in itself is unfair.

See, you can always trust punk rockers!!!
