Gay CurmudgeonThere were many advantages to growing up in a small town of 900 folks. For a member of a despised minority, there were also numerous disadvantages.

Elshara SilverheartJust for #curiosity sake, I want to do a #culture test.
I want to know how much of a #minority or of a #majority I really am.
I'm looking at #options for this.
This one is #interesting as it is a #secret #nationality #test to find out if you fit best with a particular #country or #region most effectively.
Apparently I'm most closest to Greek by this definition, and least closest to Japanese.
this honestly makes a lot of sense to me.

WIST QuotationsI wrote somewhere once that the third-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the majority, the second-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the minority, and the first-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking. With equal truth it may be said that a first-rate mind is not one which does not remember the past, nor is it one which cannot forget the past; it is a mind which will use the past but not be ordered by it. It is a mind independent of everybody and everything but the facts in front of it. It is as little perturbed to find itself sharing a thought with the simple as it is elated to find itself sharing a thought with the subtle.

A quotation from Ambrose Bierce
BALLOT, n. A simple device by which a majority proves to a minority the folly of resistance. Many worthy persons of imperfect thinking apparatus believe that majorities govern through some inherent right; and minorities submit, not because they must, but because they ought.Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?)
