Ok I've been arguing about this, something to do, and it irks me that people can hold such partisan views on it.
Now my trivial approach is to say.
It's normal for birds to fly, but not all birds can and those are in this example, are "abnormal" birds ?
Thing is, this tends to associate a lot of negative feeling.
Ok I am overweight. For a human male, I am abnormally fat (sad but true) now how is this not a true statement?
In the future when all humans are overweight does that not become the normality? We will all be "normal" it's the normal state of Humanity to be "chunky"
Don't dwell on the weight example, I know gd loves it
.
Ok take sexuality, do I need to explain or is it obvious what I will type? Men are normally attracted to women and visa versa.
Am I using the word normal wrong or does the word normal just offend people?
Average and normality is there a absolute definition of normal or is it just utterly subjective ?
Discuss. I haven't lit any bongs yet, just bored.
