Definition of a Geek

Hehehe.. some of my random thoughts :

So what do you call geeks that are not really geeks..

Calling someone a geek is like easily pegging someone to a sub group, marginalising them.. people I believe are more complex than that.

One can love reading, computers and studying but at the same time like sports, outdoor games as well as physical activities.

What actually is a geek livestyle? The health problems listed could easily be related to someone working two jobs trying to feed his/her family.. lack of sleep, headaches due to mounting medical bills, back pain due to heavy lifting and physical exertion, poor attention span due to lack of sleep and worrying about the bills. hehehe

I guess Americans (yeaps I am generalizing)like to stereotype people as it makes them feel comfortable when they can label something.. they rarely go out of their comfort zone and challenge the status quo. Uniqueness is not celebrated in their culture, conformity being the big buzz word.

For me everyone is a unique individual. More headaches as I need to treat differently but it is the only way to be fair.

Regards
