	What do you talk with people about? Enter the AD-FREE zone

it's been clear from other threads on apolyton that there are some very big differences in the social attitudes of lower middle class people like me and everyone i know and people who are upper class... now i wouldn't expect yall to eat crumpets and drink tea and discuss how Miss Turner ate one too many pieces of pattee at Mrs. Johnson's ****-tail party... but when yall are sitting on the front stoop, what do yall talk about?

recent **** that happened locally, sports, and rap are the most common topics for me and boys i talk to. occasionally, something political is talked about but most **** political i talk to girls (who generally seem more interested in that **** believe it or not).

so how about yall?

(please say you talk about sports all the time so i can feel that there is not another huge difference between me and the rest of the posters here)

I was talking about my straight friends in my last post.

With my SO and other gay/bi friends it usually is about the same but also cute guys aswell.

girls? really? now that i think of it, we rarely have conversations about girls... the few ones involve something like some girl passing by and someone being like, "I ****ed her." and then someone being like, "oh for real?" and thats it lol

cars? nah... none of that really here.

Not in my country sorry. Machismo is as big of a problem as it is in Latin America.

haha thats damn true... it's ironic how there's these two opposing stereotypes of hispanic men... that they're somehow both macho wife beaters and also silk-wearing, dancing fruits at the same time

now that i think of it, it is damn stupid... lol. where did people come up with these stereotypes?

Stereotypes sucks..

Well for me it is fine as I really am gay.. but I get called "fag" all the time.

Well... mainly music. I'm in a band and write reviews for a local bands website and a local music mag so a lot of the times I'm out I'm meeting musicians or music fans.

Also beer, sport, girls, books, films, science and philosophy (generally when stoned, eg. What would happen if a boy was born completely devoid of friction).

It's amazing how many people find out I have an astro degree and start asking me about stuff to do with it. Hard to say, actually I spent most of my time in the pub and I'm still not sure how I passed...

computers, not so often girls. none of us can afford the computers we want, but the're closer to our reality than cars. politics and foreign affairs are common. as are random academic ponderings.

nothing about fashion. nothing

albert, you do realize that just because some of us don't live in the hood doesn't mean we're rich, or upper middle class, or have a fah-byoo-lus lifestyle.

Rational exchange of opinions with my friends is imposible, they're either stupid or opinionated or both. I'd say music, but mostly that involves sitting silently listening to music, and exchanging grins when the good bit starts. I'd say cars, but certain people's obsession therewith has made all conversation a bore. I'd say girls, but then people start *****ing and being all micropolitical and I can't be arsed.

So mostly we talk sh!t and quote TV shows, try to be funny, revel in the cross-pollination of shared cultural backgrounds, and come up with more bizarre and random ideas for our film.
