Size of the dog in the fight

The size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but because knowing which limits are imagined and which ones are a reality is a factor, so is the size of a dog in a fight, to some degree. The size of the dog in a fight doesn't determine what the dog really is, that depends on the dog, not on its size. Weakness isn't a size based trait, and neither is how much fight is in something, those traits depend on the individual and not on the size of the individual. Not all smaller dogs have more fight than larger dogs, and not all of them have more fight than mouth even, it depends on the dog. The same is true for larger dogs. Not all larger dogs are underestimaters because they are larger. Recklessness and overconfidence aren't exclusive to only larger dogs, or only smaller dogs. It depends on the dog.

Size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but it's a factor. Smaller dogs are not without faults any more than larger dogs are. Hopefully no dog loses it's humility and thinks it's changed into a different dog than the one it was as a pup, no matter it's size or experience (recent or past).

Chicago

Originally meant "Place of the wild onion". Also called the city with the big shoulders, Chicago might be your kind of town like it was Frank Sinatra's. Then again it might not be your kind of town.

Chicago is also known as Chi Town these days.

Bigots restroom

If a restaurant is going to bigoted against bigots, instead of saying no bigots, racists, or misogynists in this restaurant, or no bigot racist mysognist homophobe assholes allowed, they could have one restroom open for non bigot racist misogynist homophobes and non uptight folks, and another restroom for the bigots, racists, misogynists, homophobes, the bigot racist misogynist homophobes, and all other uptight people non mentioned but in a similar category so that they don't end up having to take a shit around each other. Getting rid of the uptight folks doesn't make your restaurant or your country less uptight, and it doesn't make any group more respectable either.

Nowadays there are no more whites only restrooms, just a non bigot wonderful human being restroom and a bigot scumbag asshole who will never pass for a human being no matter what they do restroom next to it. The bigots restroom will stay full of people who don't want to take a shit next to a nigger loving cocksucker gay rights activist, and the non bigots restroom will be full of people who don't want to take a shit around the abusive sexist Ku Klux Clan lynch mob next door, and still nobody will be happy with the outcome because people are people, they're assholes just like me.

Playing all sides

Someone who runs to the police when theres no protests going on over a guy she wanted to start an argument with for her own amusement, then says something like a police officer raped her when there are protests and riots, to play all sides and turn the police against everyone else, and everyone else against the police. People already have no good reason to trust the police when nobody is getting shot or locked up, and protests only invite police out to try and take control.

The girl had been playing all sides. The people who weren't hiring her didnt trust her, which fucked over females (and males) who werent phony, since they began to lose trust and faith in each other.

Downtight

You wouldn't hear a downtight person complaining about having nothing to show for a vacation, or spending a day around the house. Downtight people who complain about having nothing to show for their vacation or lifestyle are posing as downtight people.

Guy who wants to be cool-Those girls are downtight as fuck dude, don't you want to kick it with them?
Guy who doesn't want to hang out with a guy that wants to be cool-They seem like it, I don't kick it with posers though. I'm gonna hang out with the unpopular kids and be lame, I'll see you around.

Human weakness

What kind of world would it be if it was okay with everybody for a guy to walk up to a female and punch her in the face, without restraint, thought, or remorse, no matter what she did to him? People should absolutely be allowed to do anything they want to, but without consequences, without limits to behavior, without any checks or balances, without cops, without jails, without laws, human weakness would prevail. Human weakness can also prevail with excessive laws and limitations and excessive policing. Anything done to excess keeps things out of balance.

It's not doing anything they want to that a lot people don't like or agree with, it's facing the consequences of every action that they tend to be wary of, and with a lot of people, knowing they can go to jail over something they wanted to do, but did not get away with keeps them from doing it. Human weakness would plaque everything if there was only limitless actions, but not limitless consequences that went with it.

Hypocrite

A person who's friends can call them names like slut or heffer and its okay, but when some asshole says it there's a problem.

That asshole is a hypocrite, but then so are you.
