  • Yeah you're right... normal is what the Majority thinks is normal... but noone can say from himself tht he is (completely) normal cuz u can't be normal in every point!

    BTW for me it doesn't matter whats normal I only life one life so I try to do what I want and I guess YOU should do tht too!

    • What? I wasn't arguing that normality is good, I was defining the term for someone. What are you talking about?

      I think normality is more complex than just a good/bad duality. Of course it matters what's normal - you're speaking normal English, because you need to conform to it in order to function. That's normal. You also probably don't walk around in a bikini, clown makeup, and a 20ft tall top hat, because society thinks that's weird, and has taught you to not want that. So we're all functionally normal, and that's important for society -- but individuality is just as important in terms of economic innovation, culture, and the pursuit of happiness.
