But okay, if Baron wants to weaken and water down the word hate, what other word can define the unlimited irrational rage that people hold? It's obviously an emotion, so if it's not hate, what is it? Give it a name.
Baron Max said:TT, hate and murder are two very different things! Thinking and acting are two very different things.
You can SAY whatever you want ....you can give website info all day, every day, but it doesn't change the facts. Thinking and acting are two different things ....and if you don't know that, then I feel sorry for you.

TimeTraveler said:I know thinking and acting are two different things, but if you have any concept of history, you'll know that whatever people think eventually becomes reality.
TimeTraveler said:If enough people imagine killing lots and lots of people, eventually someone will start doing it, and others will join in, and then lots of people will start doing it, because emotions are the basis for the drive behind destructive behavior.
TimeTraveler said:...I'm talking about the racists who don't view minorities as human, but view them as aliens, or as monsters to be destroyed.
TimeTraveler said:...but lets be honest about the fact that some people actually would murder every minority on earth.
TimeTraveler said:...look at columbine. These two kids, terrorized the entire school, they hated LIFE, they were racist, but underneath it all they hated LIFE....
TimeTraveler said:...Then you have opposites like ghandi and martin luther king, these people died to express true love for humanity. These are the extremes but recognize that these extremes do exist.
Walter L. Wagner said:What evidence is there that ancient Egyptians were negro? I believed they were brown-skinned people, not caucasian, but of a related earlier stock, Don't the mummies show long thin noses similar to caucasians, not broad noses of negros.
Perhaps their race arose as a mixture of caucasian ancestors and negro ancestors? Lots of DNA is available in the mummies, so don't we have better information now?
TimeTraveler said:So if you are trying to make the case that race mixing is bad, if Egypt was mixed race, and America is mixed race, well it must be pretty damn good since all the major civilizations had it.
Baron Max said:Well, are you suggesting, perhaps, that we test all humans to see if they have "murderous tendencies", then do something like imprison them or convict them of "hate" and throw 'em into jail???
Hell no, I don't support pre-crime. However, you should be able to genetically scan people to see if they are a risk to national security or not, and you should use behavioral profiling and modeling to catch criminals. If you have the wrong tendencies and you make the wrong purchases, yes you should be watched more carefully than someone who has no history or tendency of violence.
Huh? Do you have any evidence and/or facts to back that up? I'm sure that you're going to bring up Hitler, but before you do, be aware that in the first parts of the German war, many Germans did not know about the Jews!
If you want to discuss Hitler, Hitler killed more Germans than Jews, this means the elderly, the disabled, the weak, and of course the Jews, and anyone else he did not like or want around.
So we should arrest and convict and imprison those people for what they think? Is that really, really what you want?
I never said "arrest", I never said I support thought crimes. Should we monitor the masses? OF course, thats why we have intelligence agencies and the FBI.
Well, the way our laws are written, we have to let them do it first before a crime has been committed. Surely you don't want to convict someone for what they're thinking or planning, do you?
Conspiracy to commit a crime is illegal, if they think it thats fine, if they talk about it thats fine, if they think and talk about it they will be watched, and if they start planning and buying equipment, thats when the FBI usually moves in.
Okay, what would you have done? And please try to keep you answers in the proper perspective ....BEFORE they commited the crime. What would you have done to them ...even if you found out what they were talking about and planning?
You want to prevent crime when it's in the planning stages, but it depends on what the laws say. Certainly it wouldnt be right to arrest people for thoughts, I don't agree with thought crimes, because people don't really control their thoughts to such a level where anyone can say they arent a thought criminal, all of us are thought criminals. I'm saying if people start planning and, take it to the next step, then it's a different story. You can think about anything you want, you can talk about anything you want, but if you start buying guns and explosives, if the government is doing it's job, this should set off some red flags. So the point is, say what you want, think what you want, but don't harm anyone and don't actively start a militia of some sort unless you want to be watched, and no people who want to start a militia shouldnt be arrested just for starting one and buying guns etc. People should only be arrested when they break a law, or make a serious threat to individuals.
Interesting. You admire them for dying for what they believed, yet you're not willing to allow others to do the same ...UNLESS you agree with their causes or beliefs. Why?
I never said I was that brave. I never said I was willing to die. I never said I agreed with their beliefs.
You cna't prevent people from believing their own ideals ...even if those ideals are not ones that you like. In many ways, the extremist racists are not much different to Ghandi or MLK, are they?
I don't care what people believe in, you can believe what you want, the point is, don't harm people, don't be a criminal, don't threaten people. Otherwise you can believe whatever you want, you can make a state all white and legally change the laws if you want. I'm not against seperatists, if you want to live among all whites, thats fine. If you want to be racist, thats fine.

Baron Max said:Hmm, that's not quite correct. Those major civilisations became major civilisations BEFORE they became mixed-race ...even if some of them had slaves, etc (which I don't consider "mixed nations", do you?).
Name a great nation that became so AFTER it integrated ...I can't think of a single one!

Walter L. Wagner said:TT
You sure read a lot between the lines that wasn't there.
Just because Egypt is in Africa doesn't mean the Egyptian race of circa 5000 BC was negro. After all, it was just around the corner from many other races of that day, including semites, hittites, etc. Currently Egypt is primarily of Arab ancestry, though I'm sure there is lots of the original Egyptian blood line mixed in.
Most of the paintings and drawings from Egypt I've seen do not depict ancient Egyptians as negro, nor do they depict them as caucasian. I believe they were of a separate racial stock, and to which modern races they might be most closely related to I'm not certain. However, I believe that way south on the Nile was another kingdom that was of negro stock, and I'm certain there was likely lots of mixing going on. We've posted a lot along those lines with the "We're 5% Neandertal" thread.
And by the way, they've found caucasian peoples in China (mummified, blond hair, caucasian facial features) from circa 3,000 years ago. Whether they shared their genes with the asiatic races of that day, so that they are still around in the modern asiatic peoples, is not yet known.
And, of course, most people of caucasian stock nowadays are of very dark skin, and live in India. The lighter skinned caucasian stock moved on to Europe, with perhaps another group moving eastward to Asia (hence the caucasian mummies recently found in Asia).
Fraggle Rock likely knows more about this than I.
Satyr said:To be black does not mean that you are necessarily a Negro or part of the Negro racial group.
There is no Negro race. There is no Caucasian race, there are many races of black and many races of white, and I only see you and Baron looking to be precise when I mention Egypt, any other time and you'd call anyone in America and anyone in Africa just Negro no matter what ancestors they might have. Be consistant.
Dark skin is a characteristic of many racial groups and is only a piece of a whole.
Yeah so is white skin, but that does not stop you from claiming white Indians and white people from various different races such as Germany, Spain, Britain, Ireland etc. Be consistant. Not all of any skin color are the same race.
A racial group is determined by its historical background, as a group of characteristics passed down by a group that experienced a period of prolonged genetic isolation.
So now you are saying race is culture? Make up your mind. If you are going to believe something be consistant, if you believe race is not appearance then the only way to prove Blacks in America or in Africa arent Egyptian is to do a genetic test, why are you afraid to do the test? The only way to find out is to do the test. According to what we do know about gene pools there are more races of Black than there are of any other race. So make up your mind, if an Egyptian black person came into a Klan meeting he'd still be lynched, so why should we act like scientists only in the case of Egypt? Shouldnt we get rid of the whole concept of Negro and figure out what the races really are? That is why I started the thread in the first place.
This genetic isolation produced environment specific, genetic mutations which may or may not have eventually mixed with other mutations when and if some cross-racial breeding occurred.
Racial distinctions are currently more difficult to measure since the political climate is not conducive to such divisive explorations and technological advancement has made race mixing inevitable- diluting whatever race distinct characteristics existed and covering them up with cultural behavioral constraints which creates behavioral uniformity.
- Baron Max’s down-home, redneck racism is none of my concern.There is no Negro race. There is no Caucasian race, there are many races of black and many races of white, and I only see you and Baron looking to be precise when I mention Egypt, any other time and you'd call anyone in America and anyone in Africa just Negro no matter what ancestors they might have. Be consistant.
Retarded traveler: Huh?Yeah so is white skin, but that does not stop you from claiming white Indians and white people from various different races such as Germany, Spain, Britain, Ireland etc. Be consistant. Not all of any skin color are the same race.
Your temporal travels have scrambled your marbles.So now you are saying race is culture?
TimeTraveler said:All races are invented by people who decide which specific physical characteristics become races. ....
So then all human categories are similarly false.TimeTraveler said:All races are invented by people who decide which specific physical characteristics become races. So it's all fake, it's as fake as inventing races of cars based on the paint and model. To judge a car by it's paint, is as simplistic as judging a book by it's cover, because judging a car by it's paint ignores the driver. It's all about the driver not the car.
Baron Max said:Well, TT, if you wish to keep believing that, fine. But if you hold out that right for yourself, then you should happily permit others to think and believe as THEY want to believe?
All humans discriminate in one way or another about most everything in life. When we select a mate, we're discriminating against all of the other possible mates around us. That's discrimination!
I find your preaching boring and non-sensical. People will believe what they want, sometimes in the face of overwhelming evidence and facts .....and yet you continue to preach?!
Please ......do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.
Baron Max
Satyr said:So then all human categories are similarly false.
If you cannot judge anything by its physical appearance then you can only assume what its essence is by inventing a spirit.
Nice job, retard.
The “driver” is the soul, right?
The car is separate and only a detail with no significance.
It’s nature dressing up for fuck’s sake.
A black bear is no different than a polar bear - just a different color.
The color is accidental. It says nothing about the bear.
Bears are all equal and the same, man.
Pass the bottle.
When I see a tree I say to my self:
“Hmmmm, it looks different than that tree or than that cat but it cannot be different since I cannot use sensual information to make any judgment of reality. I prefer to focus on the tree’s invisible, pre-supposed spirit. The essence of a tree is like any other tree or any other object.”
This is how cowards try to escape nature’s cruelty or avoid the effort required to overcome self.
This is my last response to this particular retard.
He’s my next nomination.
