jogging woes

I was jogging down the street the other day and some older guy in a truck passing me on the road started screaming and cursing me... "F---ING PUNK B---H!!! RUN TO THE POORHOUSE YOU F---ING B---H!!!!"
He was so angry ( you would have thought I had killed his brother or something), that he was swerving all over the road. My crime?
I was wearing a black Megadeth T-shirt, which didn't even have anything inappropriate or political on it. So because I was wearing this T-shirt, then the man automatically jumped to the conclusion that this young female was:
a.) poor
b.) had no job
c.) a punk
d.) held different opinions from his
I just wanted to point out how extremely idiotic
and arrogant people like this are. And it reminded me of some people who get on the IMC just to insult and namecall like school children. They don't even make any points.
These stereotypical views will get you nowhere. talking with people like that is like trying to reason with a rabid dog who's rage has eaten up its brain, they don't care what you say, they just want to rip you apart!!!
