What you have there is a list of prejudge, not of sterotypes.
I'd like to add one:
I can't understand why a guy would like to have a bit of metal put in him, therefore, I am like Wisemon.
Of course Wisemon's using one sided remarks: it's called his opinion. That's what an opinion is, it's his "side". You're one sided as well. You refuse to accept that some people might just want to be left alone to their own morality, and thus explain your one-sided veiw that you can get peirced if you want (which we all agree with, by the way). What most of us are saying is that we don't like the look or concept of peicring.
He's not refusing to accept you, he's just refusing to accept your ideas on piercing, as he already has his own.
This is what I find strange. "My beliefs are being insulted, therefore the very fibre of my existance is at stake." No-one's not accepting you. We're just explaining risk, the stigma against peircings, and our own philosphies on the matter.
However, what you are doing is insulting Wisemon's belief that he can group people as he likes.
In fact, you're not accepting that Wisemon's beliefs are different to yours. Aren't you "refusing to accept someone who is different (from you)"? Or, an opinion that differs from your own? That's what a debate is: where people argue that their opinion is best. A discussion would be where you share ideas, but no: you're debating, you've said it yourself.
I can't see a point in debating this. I see Wisemon's side, I see your side, and I accept both. Yeah, you can get peirced, but Wisemon's right as well: not many people like peircings.
