You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

What people don't understand, is that it's not races that are stupid, but rather, it is the cultures that are stupid.

America is great because we have a superfluous superficial plastic culture. Things that happened 50 years ago are trivial in the everyday lives of the typical American. Can you say that about a typical "ethnic Albanian"? Hell no, Ethnic Albanians run around all day crying about shit that happened 500 years ago, getting all worked up about it and going on a rampage.


Cultural heritage and identity is the biggest cause of violence in the world.

The world just needs to eat a fucking cheeseburger, look at some free porn, listen to Britteny Spears, forget their ancestors and STFU.

No shit. If you identify yourself as an American, somebody's likely to start some violence.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or those who identify themselves as American might react pre-emptively against those people.

Rono - Looks like your ban-threat isn't that popular... wonder whythat is? Could it possibly be that what I said wasn't an OFFENSIVE racist remark (Such as using a slur, or directing the pejorative comment at a specific person) or is it just that the people in this forum actualy ahve some appreciation of freedom of speech? Freedom of speech doesn't just apply to those that agree with you.

If you'd like to continue to have me in "warned" status, I'd like a full working definition of racism, from you, so I'll know what to avoid. I'd also like to self-appoint myself head of the Witch Hunt Against Racism, and if any user here violates the definition of racism that you post, I'll be glad to alert you to it and expect you to be fair and objective in warning and banning them, you can do that, can't you little Rono?

To those that think I should not have said what I did say, but still support my right to be here, I thank you. I'd do the exact same for you. If you want to disagree with me, that is your right, but give me the right to disagree with you as well.

Also, for clarification, I did NOT slander any board user or use any pejorative slurs in my post.

If you want to bring attention to yourself and create un-needed drama because of a simple warning...you got it.

You have my undivided attention...congratulations.

Bhairabas said:
People have the right not to be descriminated against in a public forum..


People have the right to discriminate, they also have the right to not listen or read remarks made. There is no 'right' to not be discriminated against in a public forum, the closest we have to that is affirmative action and its roots are firmly set in biggotry

Biggotry is often being mistaken for racism. Can you tell the difference between Hispanic and Asian, if you can you are a racist, if you discriminate against a person or group based on color of skin or ethnic heritage then you are a biggot,learn the difference and you will find that many more of you are racists than you may have though and maybe fewer are biggots

and remember, discrimination happens to almost all of us, regardless of race, color, religon, sex or economic standing.

Should Racism Be a Valid Excuse for a Ban?

my answer is no. but it should be noted that some people have been banned for lesser offenses.

it might...and Racism is admittedly a subjective topic...but my view is this...Unless it relates directly to the topic at hand, and you have facts to back it up, then don't say it.

the world is full of racists, many with good intentions. As with racism the facts can be relative as well. It's healthy to see a racists on this board because it validates all our impressions of that racist without having to weed it out of them. Then they are irrelavent to everyone. Everything they say from the minute they admit it is moot. I think that there should be aboot .005% of the population to be racists so we never forget how stupid they are, because society has a bad habit of forgetting their past.

I disagree...I think that by allowing it, we are giving the indication that it is acceptable...which in my humble opinion..it is not.

then you are against free speech. I'm not saying i like it but i'd give it a few years and you'd forget that there ever was racism. The attention span of this comunity is aboot 2 months. Free speech means that you have to allow others to express their opinion even if it's agaist your beliefs. I say let them rear thier ugly heads and let them become moot.
