Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

goth chick
It's a reference to a female (usually a teenager) who wears mostly/all black, all the time. She may have experienced extreme hurt in her past and now wants to wear her pain on the outside. Goth chicks are usually open-minded and care either too much or not enough.
[BGG : I love goth girls coz nothing is ever simple or easy. They are uber-emotional and unpredictable....which makes living with them an exciting experience. Who wants to come home at 6.00 pm and find dinner on the table, and engage in small talk about her day at Aerobics, when you can come home and find her in bed with her best friend and waiting for you to join in ? Or perhaps she decides to strip you naked as you enter the house and drip hot wax all over your body. Or perhaps you inform her that we are going away this weekend, and she has 30 mins to pack before we head to the airport]
Goth is a fashion and can double as a religion, if you so desire. It's usually a way of life or just style. For most goths, though, it's a form of releasing anger/pain.
A goth chick is not defined by her clothing. Goth chicks are usually artistic and intelligent individuals. Goth chicks might have endured pain in the past which might have affected their color choices in clothing, but it does not make them suicidal, depressed, or crazy.
[BGG : Believe it or not, 99% of Goth Chicks I have met or dated are very intelligent....more so than the average "girly" girl. They know their literature. (Byron, Shelley, etc). You can hold a decent conversation with these girls about Proust, Orwell, or Kerouac. These girls may be eye candy, but they are thinking-man's eye candy, and can hold their own, thank god]
Though some might be some of these things most goth chicks are just normal girls with a different style from the "norm". These chicks have no problem expressing themselves fashionably, verbally, or through rebellion, they don't care what the public thinks about them because they are content with who they are.
[BGG : It's a rare thing to see. Most of us "conform" to the expectations placed upon us. But what are "expectations" if nothing but a comfort zone for our superiors ? Well, how about we rock their comfort zones ? Challenge their thinking ? Say to them, "today will be different and you will have think differently". When was the last time you had to think differently ? Or change your routine ? Or fight hard for a belief ?]
Some might think its "cool" to be a "goth chick" but those are reffered to as posers. Goth is not a style or fashion trend it is a way of life or mind set. No person can just wake up one day and say "Oh, I think I'll be a goth chick today!" A goth chick did not choose to be a goth, she has always been one and has chosen to embrace her way of thinking and to be proud of what she is.
Goth chicks are not defined by their clothing...EVER! If there's a group of chicks who sit in a corner talking about how they enjoyed cutting together last night with their black hair, trench coats, and masses of eyeliner...they aren't goth. Though some might be, goth chicks are usually very happy, humorous, creative people. They are fun to be around and fun to talk to. Most people are scared of goth chicks because they think they'll come after them with their razorblades and cans of hair dye, but it's quite the contrary. These people just aren't afraid of making a statement and aren't afraid of societies' cruel words against them. So, actually, goth chicks are probably much happier and more content with their life then you are.
TRUE : Being outspoken about what you truely believe in and giving a crap about what the world has to say about it and wearing what you please whether it be tight black pants with a long black jacket and dyed hair or jeans, a tight shirt, and blonde hair. ITS A MIND-SET NOT A FASHION.
FALSE : Wearing all black to get attention from the world so they can see how the world has mis-treated you and how we all need to grovel at your feet and need to give you sympathy for all your pain and sorrow.....POSER!!Last edited by Board Game Geek; 13 May 2006, 01:37.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
