Right, I was more referring to qman's tangent about African or black people being inferior to whites. He firmly believes this. You know where I stand on immigration, and I think that you and I are of a similar mind here. I think Tipote is too, actually. However, you have to realize that you will find yourself standing shoulder to shoulder with hard-line racists when you take this sort of position, and we must differentiate ourselves whenever possible.

These days people seem to take their ideologies to extremes. Moderation is key to everything in life. Ideological extremism tends to have very negative consequences.

"qman's tangent about African or black people being inferior to whites. He firmly believes this."

Yet, I have never stated that, so that leaves you speculating on what I truly believe, why do that?

You never fail to amuse when you say dumb things like that. Here, I'll help...

And yet many dead guys remain the heroes of a great many humans, regardless of political party.

When you were young did your parents beat you if you said non-partisan things?

republican media has shown me that republicans are 90% retarded...now i know those figures are skewed, so i bring it down to an even 50%.

but still...most republicans are fucking retarded, because most retarded people are endeared by the sway of partisanship (as can clearly be seen in republican media/social media) to isolationism and xenophobia and a rampant unheeded ideological conservatism, called the modern republican.

So what you're saying here is that falcon is correct?

Many dead guys remain the heroes of a great many humans would seem to cover the idea that Reagan is a hero to  a great many republicans.
I'm failing to see how you said anything different or any dumb shit other than the above demeaning attempts. Did your parents beat you when you completed full thought processes?

it seems like random woo that really has no bearing on...logic, even.

it's like if i said "hey, i'm an idiot, but i'm totally right and awesome for being an idiot. you said that i should shoot myself in the foot? i think that's a good idea, even though i know it's also an idiotic idea, but i'm right, so" *blam* "ahh feels good to be right."

but really any partisan would do, for LDS, i suspect.

You have stated it. No need to lie about it, unless you think the way you think is wrong.

here's a recent example ("that people" referring to African culture).

and if i kept looking, i'd find more tidbits like this, which kinda supports the theory that you kinda see things in black and white when it comes to African erm heritage?

Quote:

That is just inaccurate. The Europeans obliterated most of the record of African history, but it is far more rich than you are making it out to be. Their historical record was destroyed with the goal of destroying their culture, and making them forget where they came from. It was successful. Nowadays we are learning more and more about Africa before the Europeans showed up. They had very rich civilizations, with immense wealth. They did not fight amongst themselves in the same way that the European did, and did not develop the technologies of war to the same extent. The Europeans also had more access to trade with Asia and the middle-east. That's how they acquired the technology to make gun powder and guns.

Contrary to what you believe, might does not make right. The Spartans were not a more advanced civilization than the Athenians, though they were more advanced militarily.



"They did not fight amongst themselves in the same way that European did"

That's true, they captured people and sold them into slavery.

"might does not make right"

You are starting to sound like a hippy.  The inability to protect one's family, culture, and heritage says plenty about that people.

Tipote said:

Well many countries had different opportunities at different times. Apparently, the Europeans were particularly successful at Empire and brought African Empires to collapse. Part of the reason European powers went there in the first place (started with Belgium) was that African Empires were so successful and wealthy.

---

Did you ever ask yourself how "so successful and wealthy" African Empires were brought to collapse?

---

He explained exactly why in his post. They were not as focused on military. Tipote is actually completely correct. Europeans had been warring with each other for a century. They were far more advanced militarily.

---

"They were not as focused on military"

Yet they were constantly fighting each other on their own continent, your statement doesn't make sense.

"They were far more advanced militarily"

And in every other aspect of civilization, why was that?
