There is no 'normal'. Everyone has different opinions on what somebody should look and be like, but there is no normal. We are all unique in our own ways :)

Normal? I guess the definition depends on the person you talk to.

There is no definition of 'normal', most people change the definition of normal to an average human, but no-one is actually normal, we are all different.

Normal on the general part of the society is one who, doesen't stand out like a celebrity, nor fails, kinda like the pokerface meme, but in real life.
But to the entire population, "normal" has various defitions.

Normal - conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.


That's normal, but who's personality and who personally is "normal". Not everybody is unique, so people are bound to being "normal".

People have different opinions of 'normal'. It's a debate, but to see who really has the brain power to realize there is no such thing and who thinks else.

Debate is Arguing between 2 sides.
The obvious answer for this debate and its a fact is PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, and THERES NO SUCH THING AS NORMAL. UNLESS IF YOU HAVE A MENTAL DISEASE.

thats that. you can't change facts.

By saying nobody is normal, you're saying everybody is unique? Am I correct.

There is no normal, if we were born all retarded we would think its normal, if we were all born monkeys we would all think we are normal if one person is retarded talking to a person who isnt retarded both of them would think of themselves normal.

You might of contradicted yourself in that statement.

if you were retarded and i was considered "normal" if you started talking to me I would think your retarded but you think your normal,

Yes, but that's if you're "Retarded".
MrCanada

yeah, but we do not have a real definition of normal, so normal could be half naked retarded monkey babies wearing a red party hat.

In a way, yes.

I completely agree, Hutch you probably don't get this because your not thinking outside the box.
For example:
We all have noses right? We think its normal to have a nose. Now if some random kid walked into your school with NO nose... would you think thats normal?? He'd think that he was normal, but you'd think he wasn't.

No I do get where he's coming from, but you also need to realize that's just one person without a nose - He's obviously not normal, and being "retarded" - isn't normal either.

Not everybody is unique though.

Everyone has a different Thumb print, no?
Everyone has a different DNA, no?
Yes, we're all unique.
Physically, and mentally.

Eventually, the bible is going to enter this topic, everyone is a different person everyone is not normal everyone is not anything. we are who we are ( Ke$ha )

ADD, ADHD, dyscalculia, dyslexia and much others are also mental diseases, but still can be seen as average people.

Well, a kid with no nose wouldn't think it was normal if where he came from they all had noses. So it would only work if where he came from they didn't have noses.

A girl in my class only has 8 fingers, but I still see her as any other person in my class.

Lets see... If life or people was 'Normal' we would think each other is very boring, when we take it to the next step we become 'Weird' so what you define as normal is really weird.

It irritates me when people claim there is no such thing as a normal person. Collectively, we can be normal because we're following and conforming to the norm set by another person or persons.

Thank you... So much.

Normal people do exist, and they're quite common. Normal is simply trend.

Everyone is unique, not even twins are exactly the same, they may look the same but they don't have the same thoughts and ideas. You will not find any two people that are the same EVER.

I'm going to have to argue the other side now. I thought this debate was on what is a 'normal' person not 'are we all unique'. I have thought about this and like Sethy and Brendan said, it's more of a trend i guess. I'm kind of arguing both sides of this argument lol.
