Duty
When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
-George Bernard Shaw
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

Color discrimination
Picture this. You are sitting in the school cafeteria / lounge / a place where a lot of students come on a daily basis. (PS: If you have graduated and sitting smugly in your cubicle, and not thinking of your presentation due on friday and your timesheet for last week, think back of the times when you were in school/university) Oh and btw limit your imagination to only US institutions (though this might be true now back home as well). Getting back.
Of course there will be a mixture of students, who bring their own vibrance to the atmosphere with their own dressing styles, the type of apparel, the type of accessories, their method of communication, their lingo's etc.
I am sure you will notice, not a couple but atleast a dozen examples of the proto-typical Girl who owns only those items that has atleast some dash of PINK. Such an example is right in front me right now, and there are daily sightings of such creatures in many a classes. I have had many an arguments with my 2B, on why girls distinctly favor the color PINK and not only that but why do they insist on getting everything in this color. Right from cellphone covers to dresses to purses to backpack's to hats to shoes and the list goes on.
To me anything thats a little faded than rose-red is Pink. That's when I got a small but not too small a lecture on what constitutes Pink and why must a girl have all shades on pink in her attire. I must say I cannot relate to any of that.
My question finally is this - is this discrimination against all other colors (though the color Black might in fact be way ahead of others) and do guys do the same with supposedly Blue being the guy's color. Do you do it - knowingly / unknowingly.
