The Arkanssouri Blog.: "Antisocial" is subjective.

"Antisocial" is subjective.

Some Brits jump on the rubbery wristbandwagon with glow-in-the-dark "Against Antisocial Behaviour" bandies.

The problem is, there's no objective definition of "antisocial." Is slamming the door in the face of girl scouts selling cookies antisocial? Is voting against a tax increase for education antisocial? Is sitting on your own porch in your boxers drinking Budweiser antisocial?

Is flipping off the neighbor antisocial, even if he deserves it?

What about letting your kids run up and down the aisles of the supermarket?

Or wearing an abnormal haircut?

Or calling your waiter out for his lousy service?

Or telling a panhandler to get a job?

Or eating a juicy steak sandwich in front of him?

Or driving down the road with the windows rolled down, shouting "Pac-Man!" at each pedestrian?

I want an objective definition of "antisocial." I demand that you give it to me. Now.

...... Hey, look, there's my neighbor walking down the sidewalk.

"Pac-Man!"[flips the bird.]
