A Plea to Long Time, Level-Headed Members Who Still Post Here

[Heracles 417]

By the way, your 'gang' example is one of the most notorious racist theories out there. You figure some how that you can make general comments about the likelihood of the general population being criminals based on the make up of a minute section of the population. Until you can work out why this is unacceptable, you have really no hope of understanding why such statements are bigoted.

If race has nothing to do with it, if the stats from federal agencies are irrelevant, then why are these gangs divided along racial line? Almost all of America's gangs are racial aligned.

The "race card" card is more often thrown out by racists or apologists of racists to automatically dismiss an accusation of racism. What better way to marginalize those who seek to expose racism?

I don't expect you to understand as you are probably the biggest offender left on here of this. You are first to crack a joke about a Caucasians but also the first to pull out the you hate brown people card. Someone can no longer say they don't like Indian or Mexican food because you will accuse them of hating brown people.

BY, it is relevant to those who work with gangs and try to reduce the membership of those gangs and related issues. That's its value but it has no value projected onto the general population.

Give it up Booyah! It's hard to hit a moving target. Liberals don't think Head Start and Affirmative Action is the least bit racist, but cry foul when a commentator mentions the color of a professional player, or someone breaks out statistics based on any sort of demographics, unless, of course, you are talking about a populist anti-government movement, or the Republican party!

No kidding.

That's a very crass and unproductive comment. The issues of racism and bigotry have nothing to do with affiliation to mainstream political parties and ideologies.

As I have said before, and I will say again, personally, I'm all for removing the TOS on bigotry and racism and allowing people to be themselves, warts and all, but this is not an American online community, it is a global online community providing information to people from every ethnic grouping, creed and colour so such an idea is a total non starter.

This is an important announcement: I am an Apple Hater. I purposely post anti-apple news in OT to antagonize apple users. I am sorry.

Needless to say, the MS operating system then is the crappiest of them all; when directly compared to those others. No? Furthermore, building on your reasoning, if System A crashes once every few months, then surely it's no better than system B which crashes daily. After all, they both crash right. Err Wrong and that is a flawed line of reasoning.

It's mind boggling that you guys don't see an issue with one group having 20 or 30 fold the offending rate (per capita) of everyone else. Though, it's not unexpected since you have the same reasoning regarding other things. For example, since AUS has murders too, then in your opinion, the huge disparity in rates is apaprently irrelevant. Perhaps the same should be said about salaries and living standards, or anything else really.

Your reasoning skills suck, big time, which is probably why you promote racist and bigoted views while not understanding that is what you are doing.

OK, so it is your belief that the higher defect rate of System B makes System A the superior system. Correct?

Please tell me how your illustration of System B being superior to System A applies to an argument where the classifications being discussed are not operating systems, but human races?

Unless.... you want to take the data to draw the conclusion that one race is superior to another because of its lower incarceration rate. Is that really where we're going with this?

Wow, seriously. Even this thread turns into the same old sh!t. Hmmmm, who's to blame?

Manners, people! Watch your manners! You can disagree, without being disagreeable. Personalities have no place in an adult conversation.
