as a self-described racist, are you fit to moderate an open forum? how do you make choices? can a racist be open-minded &/or fair?Xev said:paulsamuel:
I am indeed a racist. This is pretty much the only thing you've gotten right about me so far.
I am also, to a degree, a racial seperatist.
What is your point? Please post one.
Also, as a moderator I'd ask you not to cross post, and not to attempt to stir up flame wars.
calm down, if it were true, you would have used some facts, instead of blowing your top. remember "Dragnet"?, just the factspaulsamuel said:maybe you shouldn't open your ignorant mouth.
i could give a s... what a f....... 15 year old believes about me, it doesn't me a s... to me.
you don't know what f...... nihilism is, f...... idiot. sitting there questioning me on why something doesn't exist. f..... idiot.

Just today I was reading an article in the paper about how the organ donation registries are trying hard to recruit minorities.
This is especially important in light of the fact that cross-racial organ transplants are more likely to fail than same-race transplants.
what do you mean by "race"? the standard; white, black, red, brown, yellow? Mendel works real well with 'peas' for characteristics, you should read Spencer Wells' excellant book, "The Journey of Man: a Genetic Odessey". We are one race, with many colors, read upRace is a simple consequence of Mendel's laws and micro-evolution.
Why is this so difficult to grasp? You can scream "SCIENCE SAYS" all you like, and you will persuade the fools who long for any authority figure to tell them what to think and believe. But saying so does not make it so.
what you are discribing is "zenophobia", something that has kept us alive since caveman days, the us vs. them mentality, the 'other', but in a global society, is that still a valid responce?I am also, to a degree, a racial seperatist.
Ha! Maye we should continue this, I'm game:
good eyes, you'll make a good farmer or dog-breeder, but we are not 'dogs', check other sources, you may think & say that your powers of observation are more accurate than science, but for now, I'll stick to one species, Homo sapiens. Race & breed are two different things & BTW, did you know that most dogs, left to their own devices would 'breed true', as a mutt with a curved tail?Xev said:Randolfo:
How does my observation that different breeds of humans exist make me unfair?
stop acting & talking like a little girl, what are you going to do? Ban me? oh, yeah, you're the moderator? how 'fair' can you be, with people that you disagree with? Tell yourself, then tell us the truth, if you can't, you should excuse yourself & join the huddled masses, with the rest of us Consider yourself 'reported'Actually, you know what? Just shut the fuck up Christ-boy.
No offence but maybe you and gendanken could change your names to Barbie and Gidget (with a heart over the i instead of the dot).Xev said:gendanken:
Oh u GO girl! Like, I'm just sitting here reading Cosmo and thinkin how RAD it would be if there was a fan club for stirner where we could make popcorn and play spin the bottle with each other and my bust of Nietzsche.
its like, i didnt evne like philosophy until i realized that there are so menny hot boiz! omfg! like, when u think about it, it's soo true that we r overdependant on moral valuations and that they mebbe support a degenerate society 2! an u c, thats where freud took over from maxxy, cuz neurosis is like, so prevalent in western society that u could almost say that civilization is founded on neurosis lol! like, that's SOOO why egotism (lol! me-go ur so funny!) is necessary!
wolf, coyote and domestic dog are different species, fromDr Lou Natic said:The dingo, wolf and domestic dog are all the same species. They're all canis familiaris. They put a 'lupus' after canis familiaris for wolves and something else for dingos, but there is no point, as wolves are closer related to some domestic dogs than other domestic dogs are (or maybe its canis lupus with a familiaris after it? Can't remember)
Dingos and wolves are just another 2 breeds of dog really.
As far as I'm concerned canis familiaris(?or lupus?) and homo sapiens are the same.
I don't even care about the word race anymore, but I know the human species contains individuals that can be classified into groups, and a lot of mutts that could be classified into 'type groups' (ie if someone looks african but obviously has some white influence as well you could say they are of african type, just like you can say a big heavy dog with a wrinkly face is of mastiff type).
Dr Lou Natic said:I'm sure it has recently been changed and domestic dogs are now technically canis lupus familiaris.
Nearly 100%.... really don't feel like searching down a source, but will if I have to.
I can't say much for the other two, but of course they will have a higher rate of sickle cell anemia. In Africa, being a carrier saves your life. If you don't have a single copy of the sickle-cell anemia gene, you are susceptible to malarial infection, which will likely kill you. African Americans who have travelled to America still likely have a higher carrier rate, although I would suspect that it is being selected against over here, since the threat of malaria in the United States is very low. However, having the sickle-cell gene (as in one single copy) is hardly a detriment, as the majority of your haemoglobin functions normally.sickle-cell anemia
Having more characteristics in common, makes that practical, by 'founders effect' so-called 'whites' share many characteristics, but that doesn't make them a subspecies, race or breed, just different. all these differences are relatively recent in geologic time, see for yourself, use your browserBig D said:This week Howard University announced it wants to start collecting the DNA of African Americans. The school claims that such a data base is the best way to improve the health care for black Americans.
Big D said:For a long time, scientific researchers and the general public have assumed that African Americans must have a genetic predisposition to diseases such as diabetes, asthma and sickle-cell anemia because they suffer from them at a much higher rate than white Americans.
