I disagree, don't ban him. It's not that I don't think what he said was ignorant... but it's the principle. By ensuring the most racist people have their freedom of speech, like the KKK, it 100% ensures that good people will never have their speech censored. Once you start banning people for what they say, everyone's ideas become suspect.... but whatever... let the mods make the call.

hah, yea in a sense. we should let people say what they want, no matter how degrading it is, though in the context of a forum it takes away because precious monitor space is filled with hate instead of something positive. those kind of minds are empty and spacious like the part of the brain that appreciates culture in a racist.

what causes a person to contemplate the meaning of life...

its started in the mid east (recorded history) and continues today.

these people are one and the same and they can't live together. the Jews don't believe in any thing and the Muslims are at the other extreme. Extremists and I don't adhere to their doctrines.

In todays cultures if you don't accept one norm or another, depending on where you live, you're labeled a racists or a pacifist.

I have a 23 yaer old black man that I allow to live and eat in my house. No I'm not a fag, but I think he has potential. we use the word nigger to describe a certain mentality taht exists. It exists.

but no offense is taken.

some one here was offended when i used the word "jews". so its they aren't jews waht are they? its harder to offend people when you use the term "arab" because they don't really know waht you are talking about. they read it in the newspaper and they assume that it must be correct.

shit...look at those cartoons.

so am i a racists? I don't think soo...

what causes a person to contemplate the meaning of life.

money... they had some idle time and they thought up a ton of shit.

but without physics they had nothing to go on.

ever sit about beliving something was gonna happen and it did and just dismissed it as a coincedence? tahts what you where brought up to think. its safer to live in understanding than to doubt.

try it again!

I disagree. I just found an old essay of mine and let's see if it addresses your question.


Reality or Delusion


I propose that the root lesson in all religions is the recognition of the role of the ego in our creations and the problems we face within it.

From a presupposition that the reality of our own eventual demise provides the impetus to come to terms with the nature of our existence, and provides the context for a religious belief; and that the aspects of the ego, if not taken into consideration, rapidly subvert any accumulated knowledge into a canon influenced by selfishness and fear; and that the ego assumes control of our experiences thru the imposition of a subjective morality that manages to inhibit the level of our consciousness by limiting the possibilities to be entertained thru our awareness, thereby retaining the dominance within our conscious faculty thru fear of, and defense from the uncommon, to which selfishness and fear will respond aggressively in order to dispel threat and to insure it's own continuance;

We could conclude:

That reason propels the mind towards truth; and that unacknowledged aspects of fear & self-interest that belong in the realm of the ego will influence reasoning to accept appealing concepts that result in much of the blind-faith in regards to religious dogma; and that vigorous new religions sprung from the roots of a parent religion that has become predisposed towards a salvation thru ritual and tradition will themselves quickly succumb to the pressure to formalize and institutionalize; thereby creating a governing body which profits thereby; And that the recognition of the inhibiting aspects of the ego upon the reasoning faculty provides insights into the evolution of religious doctrine from one of perceived truth, unity & equality to one that condones violence and slavery; And that released from the bondage imposed by unacknowledged aspects of fear & selfinterest the mind can elevate into higher awareness better able to plumb the depths.

edit:
(I wrote some scary shit back then)
