Daiana, Welcome to the group! Not only do I agree with you one what you said, I don't think you should apologize for interfering. You are welcome here, as well as your thoughts and ideas. :) ~Meg <div>On 9/30/07, daiana heinrich <<a href="mailto:xdaiana@yahoo.com">xdaiana@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> first of all: hello and sorry i'm interferring.... i'm Daiana and new into this group and i'm a goth. but i see it the other way, i like black and therefore identified myself with the goth movement. and not the opposite way. but: i don't like the way an idea (ok, maybe not embraced by all of us) is criticized instead of being improved. well... associating girls with pink doesn't seem ok to me, i hate pink too. that's the weak point of the idea that started the discussion. but the positive is: someone is making efforts to make linux, especially ubuntu, popular. this deserves respect. so: why stuck on principles we can't change so easily? just take that what we have and make the best of it! in this very situation i'll rephrase: let us just not argue "why pink", but, if it's necessary, use pink, but give the girls, women, ladies etc. a start into the linux world! best wishes Daiana --- Jan Claeys <<a href="mailto:lists@janc.be">lists@janc.be</a>> wrote: > Op zondag 30-09-2007 om 18:49 uur [tijdzone -0400], > schreef Danyelle > Gragsone: > > I don't use colors to make a statement. > > Realistically the only time I see that happen is > when people designate > > a color for a gender. > > Erm, what about politics, sports, ...? :P > > Sometimes even fans of a certain type of > music/lifestyle (e.g. goths) > use colours to make a statement about it. > > > -- > Jan Claeys > > > -- > ubuntu-women mailing list > <a href="mailto:ubuntu-women@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-women@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women</a> > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?
