That's odd. I think I should be allowed to speak freely about my weaknesses. I don't really understand why I cannot say these things.

They practically begged me to come back!

Now that is arrogant

That spanish comment was NOT racist!! !! ! People that think it was are merely agreeing with it in racist fashion! HOW could it not be racist?

1. It is TRUE!
2. Those that speak spanish are NOT necessarily only one race. In fact, MOST ARE WHITE!

So WHY do people say it is racist? Because some are lazy and want to engender hatred and the "race card" is always a good one to "play" for that. Note those LEGITIMATE terms, and their otherwise most common meanings!(It is like they are playing a GAME of poker and BLUFFING YOU so they win, EVEN though IT IS A LIE!) They realize that many of them(FROM MEXICO) have a certain culture, and some indian blood, so they can make it SEEM like they are another race.

Under the three major classifications, and even the 4 top classifications, they would be generally considered CAUCASION!(AKA WHITE!)! Frankly, if I were king, I would split the caucasion race into at least 3 sub races(skin color, and a few other little physical characteristics nobody looks at now anyway, aren't really helping.), but that is just me.

BESIDES, what does a language have to do with race anyway!?!?!? At one point, some NON blacks learned swahili. In fact Uhura's, in star trek, name comes from Uhuru which is swahili for freedom. Granted, she is black, but the name probably came from a white researcher because, at the time, some wanted swahili to be like esperanto. I am learning hindi. Some FRENCH learned German, even though many hate the Germans. Blacks and EVEN hispanics have learned other languages. Many Americans learn spanish. So a language has nothing to do with race EITHER WAY so how could his TRUE statement be racist!?!?!?!?!?

BTW The Germans say "It appears to be Spanish to me." if something looks complicated.(German idiom translated to english.) In the US that translates as "It looks like Greek to me."(The English idiom meaning the same thing) Does that mean we can call GREEKS another race ALSO!?!?!?

Why didn't they call it racist when people referred to the Russian and German languages in the same way as they now refer to spanish? And WHY wasn't it considered racist to not hire Irish!?!?!?!? I mean the Irish come FAR closer to being another race than Spanish Speakers do! Spanish Speakers come from ALL OVER! The Irish come from only one little country. And countries have a bigger correlation to race than languages do!

Come on people, you're supposed to be mostly aspies!(My apologies to those that aren't) THINK LOGICALLY! There is no tie between spanish and race!

You don't say?


Less a matter of can't, and more a matter of "not bothered".
Being surrounded by people who can't even spell "you" for most of my life, my own standards have slipped a bit, I admit.


The funny thing is... most of the sites have been topically disconnected.
But anyhow... "ass-kicking" as you put it. Not something that is ever likely to arise, though I've had many of those sorts of threats... The sort of "I'd caveman you into next week if I saw you in person"... to which my usual response is: "I'd be prepared".


A responsibility to put them out of their and our misery?
That I would be inclined to agree to. Their stupidity causes suffering in themselves and others, and they would be better off dead. That is, however, not an option. The most I can do is merely correct them when I see them.... until such time as one of them learns how to counter-argue properly.
Besides... what would I want their respect for? Being respected by stupid people would just make me feel dirty.

You're waaaay over thinking this. Even if it was technically ambigous, it's intent was obviously a shot at mexicans. If you can't fill in the blanks there, you're being naive. No one is playing a card simply by disliking comments like that. Also...
1) Race only exists as a social construct of commonly accepted definitions, and by those definitions hispanic is a category of race, and no they are not commonly defined as being the same as caucasian even if many are mostly decended from Europeans.

2) I realize that language has more to do with ethnicity and culture, so if you're going to be tricky about what defines racism, fine. It's biggoted, which in my mind is the same kind of ignorance. I don't view race as anything other than a social construct, so any kind of biggotry is exactly the same to me. The Irish did experience that kind of biggotry, and I would be just as defensive of them.

3) I also realized that this was most likely just a failed attempt at a funny, rather than a serious expression of white supremacy. Mabe I should have word myself better, but I don't withdraw my warning. He needs to realize that if he is seroius about becoming a businessman, he needs to avoid cheap highschool humor of this kind if he wants people to take him seriously. Just because his friends and family know that he is just joking around when he comments like this, doesn't mean someone else won't interpret it the wrong way.

Personal flaws are subjective.

I, for example, see plenty in you even though you seem to consider yourself a superior species. Do you really find all your little ad hominums to be useful in solving problems, or do they seem to create more for you?

The content of your posts make me suspicous that you only act this way because you have a sadistic personality, not because of superior intellect. Intelligence alone doesn't give a person such venomous hatered. Your posts are almost like reading straight from the Mien Kampf. I suppose you would find some way to be proud of that as well.

Also, just because someone's opinion is different, or even if they lack knowlege that you possesss, that doesn't mean their "hardwiring" is inferior. I don't care what biology classes you've taken, it's time for you to take some sociology.

I've never been offended by what other individuals say or think since it rarely affects me. If someone is a creationist on a personal level I don't get anything out of engaging them on that topic. If I'm dealing with someone who is slow to understand something I'm not condescending.

If your classmates bully you, they have a very good reason. I hope you can learn to be humble, with or without the beatings.

Fair enough, I might one confused with the other. But they're both arrogant and they both erupt with ad hominems like it's diarhhea.

roflmao

points taken, but you don't have to sound like a jerk when you're being arrogant.

And I didn't mean kill them....I'm sure it could be worked out that they be serfs on some bit of land or something.

And that first line was sarcasm

I am "byzantium" on that forum. This isn't the first time that I've been called super arrogant. For some reason, just talking to people "normally" (for me) will suddenly cause them to say "you're so f'n arrogant, don't you dare talk to me like that a**hole!" and I'm left to wonder what I did.

TRICKY!?!?!? IT'S THE TRUTH! Race has ALREADY APPEARED to have been watered down to some basic appearance. Do you REALLY want to water it down to NOTHING!?!?!? FINE! You are a RACIST because you are arguing with me, and accusing others!

The fact is that race is, and always has been, RACE! And hispanics are often considered white. EVEN if you want to look at other heritages, THEY have not had the same treatment because they generally weren't as lazy.

One more thing. Most arguments against hispanics have NOTHING to do with their people. HECK, I found out one person was hispanic YEARS later, and had MORE respect for her because she did so well at speaking both languages, etc.... As for most being mexicans? Well is it OUR fault that THEY are the ones finding it easiest to get here? The hatred extends to WHATEVER lazy hispanics get here, REGARDLESS of origin. ANd I am NOT saying hispanics, I am saying LAZY hispanics.

Soticoto

I wasn't refering to you using ad hominums on anyone here, but the mockeries of other people for their ignorance that you boast about doing so often. Also your fervent advocation of using them made me assume you frequently used them.

Godwin's Law need not apply here. Obvious exceptions can be made for those who talk about themselves and others similar to them like they are a superior species (master race), and death being the most desirable solution for the inferior (degenerate) ones. See, no hyperbole or fallacious comparisons here. When it can apply, it warns people of the dangerous path certain attitudes can lead if taken to heart. But I am relieved you admitted the death part not being an option. Hopefully people who think like you will stay in the minority so it will remain that way. I bet it's convenient for a self proclaimed sadist to call choices "arbitrary a best".

"Independence of thought." What, people who think exactly like you do? "Effective emotional control." Hmm. You kind of strike me as a very angy, intolerant person. What kind of emotional control are you referring to?
