Do you ever wonder..............

[the full harris]

if other people see colours the same as you. Like, is the colour i see as blue what other people see as red.

If I were to see the world through the person next to me at the football would i think the albion played in red and white stripes?

The whole world could look different to each one of us but because it is what we are used to we think that that is the way things are meant to be. When my mate takes a walk in the park, he might see the grass as what i would call purple but we both call it green cos that is what we thin it is and, i suppose, it IS green.





Does anyne even understand what i am trying to explain?








f***ing hell, i am BORED.

You must be

If someone is colour blind then they cannot see red and green correctly. Apparently they both appear to be a shade of brown (don't ask me how I know cos I don't)

yeah, but what if what you think is brown is what i see as pink?

how could you then say that they see red or green as brown cos you might see red as what i see brown and when one colour blind person might see what i see as brown (when they should see red/green) another might see as what i see as yellow. Would they still be seeing 'brown'. i think they would cos that is what they are used to.

Yep that is true, I am one of those sufferers. When I was particularly tiny I first thought grass was red.

but what i am trying to say is what if what you see as red is what i see as green. Then we would be seeing grass as the same colour but different cos society and language tells us so.

No children are taught colours when they are about 3 or 4. Only colour blind people (mainly males) have a problem with colours.

There are toddler books which teach colours.

I suppose you could lie to a child and tell them the wrong colour and let them get teased and bullied at school

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yeah i understand























NOT

NO NO NO NO.

what i mean is, what if what you see as pink, i see as what you call yellow. You have been taugh that this colour is called pink and it is but i see it as yellow but call it pink because i have been taught that that is its name too. Everytime i see what you call 'yellow' i call it pink so no one ever knows that i see it as yellow.

This could be the case but no one will ever know, cos there is no way of finding out is there?


Does anyone understand what i am getting at. I fear i may a bit crap at explaining it!

 

[Hilton]

I understand, but I'm not going to help explain it!

 

[MattBackHome]

I understand as well.

But it is bullshit.

 

[Turkey]

I'm colour blind.

 

[sams dad]

I'm colour blind.

Me too.It's a nightmare matching items of clothing

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

i know what you mean!!!

 

[the full harris]

Here is a good way of explaining it, though people seem to understand now!

But for any on doubt:

You see: RED I see: RED

You see: GREEN I see:GREEN

You see: SANDY BROWN I see:SANDY BROWN

I have often thought that, I guess you will never know!

 

[Hart's mistress]

Along the same lines as when a tree falls in a forest and no-one is there to hear it, does it still make a noise?
