Two variations on the same theme.
False Alarm

There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

Very interesting.
Yes to the first.
Not yet willing to accept the generality of the 2nd.
:-) good ones
exactly
*thumbs up*
The second one is so self-congratulatory!
John & Clarissa - The "If it doesn't affect me" attitude is why I posted that meme. I know to many conservatives that have that exact attitude. I don't go to national parks because I'm not an outdoors person. But I think we need national parks. (Been to a couple in 70 years.)
My city built a community center and swimming pool. Many of my stick up the butt neighbors said 'if they want to swim let them build their own pools'. That's the attitude I thought about when I saw that meme.
I think it properly compares the bleeding heart liberals to the bleeding wallet conservatives.
I don't buy the second one either.
If this was on Facebook we could have had one heck of a comment stream going here. :)
That first one is the best definition I've heard for privilege. It expresses it very well.
The second not so much for me but I can see some people thinking that way. It seems to be an underlying general point of view difference between them.
