Hahahahah--yeppers:mrgreen:I'm so sick of all this political correctness crap. Bunch of whiners.
Well then, here's some more disagreeing we can do---I have met many Human beings, that get no respect from me, at all. they don't act respectable, so that is how I treat them. Like you say, It's my call.---I'm sure some folks may feel that way about me. --and that is their call.
I have no problem with anyone on this forum. Just the opposite. I find most to be very knowledgeable, intelligent and witty. which is why I look forward to coming on here. I have not been rude to anyone that I am aware of. Even if I felt a little insulted, I tried to keep my cool. Just figured I'm the new guy, and people were feeling me out. Not to be confused with feeling me up.---I'm actually a very easy going guy, that enjoys talking about a varsity of subjects. I never claim to be an expert, not do I try to tell people how to think. I just state my opinions, and see where it goes--this is an example. :mrgreen:And that's fine - but is there anyone on this thread who you feel that way about? I presume you at least give everyone respect until you find they don't deserve it, right? So here's a nutty idea (and when I say "you" I mean all of us, not singling out you Skateguy) - everyone treat everyone else with a courtesy, and that includes not saying rude or offensive things to people who don't deserve it or you don't know, and don't go blathering about "political correctness" or freedom of speech when someone points out your rudeness and asks you to stop. Crazy idea, I know.
My comment was just meant in jest--I apologize if it was found to be offensive.
No not tolerated, but allowed. People don't have to like what you say, but you have every right to say it anyhow--In America. ---People have the "right" to burn our Flag, (how PC is that?) but they best not let me catch them doing it. ---Freedom is not free.
Try telling fire in a public theater and see how that works for ya. Some things simply are not allowed for a reason.
Flag burning isn't yelling fire in a crowded theatre though.
Along with Our Freedoms go responsibilities. We can always find example of the extreme, where some one crosses the line. But those are exceptions, rather than the rule.---at least I hope they are. "There is never a good excuse, for bad Manners"---My Mom.
Agree. The point I was making to Skateguy is you really just cannot say anything ya want.
I actually do that quite often. I have that reputation. My friends kid me about it all the time.--I wish I were stronger though. --"the sign of ones good manners, is being able to tolerate another's poor manners" --Dear ole Mom again.Have you ever had the urge to simply speak your mind towards someone that annoys you? I mean that is bad manners but good for the blood pressure:2razz:
To start with, "classical liberals" like the founding fathers were slave owners, they were obviously not being referred to, no need to put "liberals" in quotation marks for that.Maybe the fact that he put "Liberal" in quotations means something guys.
You ever think of that?
Perhaps he realizes there is a difference between a Classical Liberal and a Modern "Liberal". And perhaps the stereotypical, and more prevalent, modern liberal IS like that. They do use blanket terms and lump things together, both sides do it.
Race is a sociological construct that divides society, especially multiracial societies like the United States and Canada. I think any observation concerning race detracts from national unity, and that discrimination on a racial basis is irrational.
Racism is the mental defective's version of nationalism.
Doesn't observation of the sociological concept of the "nation" detract from human unity?
"Human unity" is an impossible goal. Humanity will always be divided into "us" and "them".
Racism is natural... But we should all know better than to act natural. Afterall, we dont go around killing people, and we live in somewhat of a civilisation.
We will never fix things, never reach the next level unless we "unite humanity" in the goal of social, legal and life justice for all humans, and common goals/dreams for our future.
I totally agree with what you are saying. In the real world like you said unless we "Unite humanity". The only way to even come close to that is to live under a dictatorship and all follow a socialist belief system. We would all have to believe in one religion that also unites us. Its that utopian type of mentality.

I'm only interested in reaching the next level with me and mine. Rest of the species can rot and die as far as I care.
Oh, the only way to unite striving towards a shared objective is to live under a socialist dictatorship? lolI totally agree with what you are saying. In the real world like you said unless we "Unite humanity". The only way to even come close to that is to live under a dictatorship and all follow a socialist belief system.
