Wow, you lost me on that one. race is a fact, not a myth. How we treat each other is something else entirely.

I don’t really have a desire to jump back into this conversation, but race is not a fact. Race really has no genetic basis. There’s no scientific validity in classifying humans into different "races."

I see your point.

See what point, Mick?

The point regarding someone being able to automatically attend a university simply because a relative had gone there.

And…to respond to your other comment, yes, I do like arguing with you.

You are my perfect liberal foil.

When we’re done with this thread let’s discuss global warming. I bet you’re in an uproar over that huh?

You can rail on me about driving an SUV…it’ll be fun.

Ha

Except he didnt say anything about someone being able to automatically attend a university.

Please, try to make some sense. Um. Jerkwad!

You’re using the same tired old liberal ploys. When you lose the debate you just start name calling.

Transparent man.

Oh, and since we’re way off topic anyway, one other thing has been bothering me. Please learn to spell the word “hypocrisy.”

Thank you.

Your friend and educator,

Mick Are we

Lose the debate? hahahahahaha.

Good one.

No, really. How is it that you meant “The point regarding someone being able to automatically attend a university simply because a relative had gone there.” when the person you were saying “I see your point” to NEVER MADE THAT POINT?

That makes absolutely no sense. Thats like…

“Him- I like bananas.
You- I see your point. And by that, I mean I agree that hot air balloons are bitchin’. Nevermind that your point had nothing to do with hot air balloons.”

Face it, Mick. You agreed with his point, which was that race has no genetic basis and there is no scientific validity to classifying humans into different “races”.

But then you realized we weren’t arguing anymore, so you had to bring up something to rekindle our argument. Sad, really.

I also notice you didnt respond to the other poster who agreed with me. I guess you figured he wouldnt be as much fun.

Whew! See, I thought I wasn’t liberal enough to be labeled a liberal. But I’m happy to hear that I am indeed a liberal.

Are you out of your mind?

One can understand another’s point of view, without agreeing with it.

You might want to take some time away from the threads a while Cap…You’re losing it. But so long that I start to miss you.

I also notice you didnt respond to the other poster who agreed with me. I guess you figured he wouldnt be as much fun.

Honestly, no one is as much fun as a humorless liberal such as yourself.

I’m still looking forward to our global warming debate. I’m just guessing of course but I’m sure your in lock step with every wacky liberal view that there is.

Homosexual rights- Check

Affirmative Action- Check

Global Warming- Check

Save the Whales- Check

Impeach Bush- Check

Higher Tax Rates For Business/Wealthy- Check

Abortion on Demand for any age - Check

Let’s see did I miss anything?

Ha ha…you’re an open book.

And yes…it’s fun to read your rants. Please continue.

So, although he said nothing about people getting into universities, you “saw his point” about people getting into universities.

Right?

And that’s exactly how liberals act when it’s pointed out that they’re liberal. Why is it that liberals never want to admit to being a liberal? Oh…never mind I already know.[/quote]

Now you’re not making any sense. Well, you haven’t been for much of the thread, but here you are completely contradicting yourself. First you say I’m supposed to deny and and try to escape the liberal label. Now ,when I embrace it, suddenly that’s how all liberals act. Well, which is it, chief?

See the thing is, I could care less how you label me, chief. I’m not in elementary school anymore.

The Katrina survivors didn’t get snubbed because they were black, instead because they were poor, and therefore money should not be wasted on them.

The rich people got the hell out of there ASAP.

NO!!! REALLY?!

They’re called MINORITIES for a reason!

White Americans make up for 74.7% of the US
Black Americans make up for 12.1% of the US

Therefore for all things to be Equal the white should have 74.7% of the power and the Black to have 12.1% of the power, and the rest should have 13.2%.

That’s true equality.

If you want it to be even, then move to another country where races are equally distributed.

Be careful what you say to these wacky liberals. They’ll want to kill 62.6% of all whites so that things are completely even.

They’re already attacking entire generations of white people economically for something that they didn’t do.

I’m almost to the point where I think that they’ll rationalize just about anything in the name of equality.

Your posts are an obvious example of inequalities of people. I’m much more intelligent than you.

LOL…I can’t help but like you, you have a great sense of humor. Something missing in your comrade Crap…err I mean Cap.

Wow dude. I make a LOT of stupid jokes, but that one…

I’m angry with you.

Thats it. I’m not arguing with you anymore.

What I don’t get is why we are supposed give some people special privileges just because they have a specific skin color, or can’t annunciate correctly. There are plenty of “minorities” in positions they don’t deserve just because some company had to put them there to fill some quota so they didn’t get fined or sued.

Now that is absolutely moronic.

And whoever says we can’t judge groups of people based on the way they look, act and talk has no clue and belongs in the ACLU.

There is a reason for most stereotypes.

Now I am not saying everyone with a specific skin color fits a stereotype, race is simply different strains of our species. I am talking sub groups or sub cultures.

IF you live in the US learn to speak proper english, learn to function as part of our society and realize by saying everyone deserves equal opportunities means equal opportunities not special treatment. You made not have had the same educational advantages, but that doesn’t mean I want you making my prescriptions because the company had to hire you to fill a quota.
I want the person who is truly qualified.

And guess what people involved in sports are people. They have biases and opinions. And if you are going to try to punish them for that you are by your own standards just as bad as they are

Race is not “different strains of our species”. Do some real research on the topic and you’ll find that race is a biological MYTH. Untrue. Not fact.

A species is a sub-category. It belongs to Genus I think.

It goes Genus->Species->Race.

{Someone correct me if I am wrong).

Its a means of categorizing. Like with Automobile manufacturers.

It goes:

Car (type of vehicle)-> Ford (Make) → Focus (Model) → Focus XYZ (trim level).

The race is like the ‘trim level’. Very subtle differences in the Genetic code. Just like there are very subtle differences in the car.

Get it?

Thats not actually true, though. There is NO difference in genetic code.

The labels are as biologically meaningless as the difference between “Texan” and “New Yorker”.
