I don't understand why you'd use the term "normal" to describe any person. It smacks of ignorance about how different people truly are.
In your latest reply it seems like you are saying you judge people based on their first appearance and then shove them into the "normal" box or the abnormal box.
I'm just going on what you're saying man. I'm not arguing the original point, I thought that would be obvious to you. I'm taking exception to you propagating the concept that there are normal people and then abnormal people. That's just far too simplistic and not representative of reality at all.
People might be convinced there are "societal norms" because they associate with a similar demographic to themselves and mistakenly believe that "most" people are also like that. If all you deal with (for example) is white collar, conservative church goers (again, just an example) then you might get confused into thinking that's "normal". When in reality everything that is legal to be done is done by somebody, somewhere and even a lot of the illegal things are done. Everybody has different standards, everybody does different things with their life. There are a large amount of subcultures. I'm guessing you don't deal with many of them.
