Re: Droppin knowledge, you better recognize.
Because they allow blatant ignorance, and blatant ad hominem, like your self.
Who allows this?
Black? Jews?
Please explain what you mean? You might want try something like evidence to back up your assertions. I realize that is difficult for you, but if you want to convince people to agree with your argument, evidence helps.

Re: Everyone's racist once in a while...it's Hollywood, man!
How about you just explain it since those of this who read it, don't "get" what you mean. If people claim not to understand you it is incumbent on you to make it understandable.

I read it 5 times now. I am in the same position as Jar.
What Islamic beliefs are illegal?
It is a simple question. How about a simple answer?
This persecution complex does not become you. Make you look and sound like an ass actually.

You really need to think about what you write and be more clear
So tell me, do you support letting people kill other people, because belief's are not against the law?
Are you trying to say certain Islamic beliefs should be against the law?
If so, what are those beliefs?

Re: Ever Seen a Duck?
Usually the 1st person to call someone else a bigot is the real bigot, thanks for proving this to be true yet once again.
You have way with your supposed aphorism, but again all it is is a saying. It means nothing. You might as well have said
quote:
whoever smelt it dealt it
Sounds pretty sophomoric doesn't it. As do you.
Oh and you have proven nothing true.

Re: You really need to think about what you write and be more clear
These are radical beliefs. Christianity and every other religion has its radicals also. The point I am trying to make is that you can not ascribe these beliefs to all moslems as you cannot ascribe the beliefs of Westboro Baptist to all christians.
Why does rat not have a problem with living next to christians? Wasn't Timothy McVeigh a strong christian? How about Eric Rudolph? Or Scott Roeder and the other murderers of doctors that provide abortion services.
The point is rat and arty are racists. The can deny it all they want.

Re: You really need to think about what you write and be more clear
Maybe the Priest abused you as a child, so now you take it out on every Christian? Doesn't that make you some kind of racist, or bigot minded?
Please show me my "attacks" on Christians.
Maybe I am racist against all radicals? Raging liberals? Especially ones that call the cops every time you fart.
WTF?
Liberals call the cops more? Any evidence for this bit of weirdness?
I do apologize for the racist remark. That should have been directed toward Art solely.
I do think you are a racist, but calling you that does not do this discourse any good. You have extreme prejudices. If you are ok with being a bigot fine.

Yes, in my situation. That wasn't a blanket statement.
No. A person you perceive as a liberal called the cops on you. Your statement that liberals call the cops for what you perceive as something stupid is in itself a bigotted statement.
I have no prejudices, and I've spent a few threads clearing that up. Again, you resorting to name calling, so you must be wrong. You are just as bad as a Christian who condemns people to hell because they are sinning.
I am reacting to the evidence you have presented. We all have prejudices, to claim otherwise is lying. Maybe lying to yourself but it is lying. I am willing to admit I have prejudices and can be a bigot at times. But the funny thing is, by you pushing that off on me does not make you any more or less. Pointing out what I am or my flaws does not remove it from you. Myabe you should critically think about the things you are saying to see how people could reach the conclusion you are a bigot. Unless of course self examonation is not something you feel is necessary, being prejudice free and all that as you are.

Can you provide the source please. Looks like a great resource for dealing with racists.

Re: You really need to think about what you write and be more clear
How can you tell whether I perceive someone is liberal, or know for a fact that someone is liberal. You are just full of shit.
Do I have to go to the beginning? You are the one that stated raging liberals needlessly call the cops. You are the one that makes the claim.

I don't blame them for mis-reporting it right either, because if you watch the speech, she sounds like she is being prejudice. She also makes many bigoted, and prejudice statements in her speech. Like "one of his own" or differentiating between a black farmer and a white one. What's the difference, they are farmers! If I had said those things, I would not have been let off as easy as her.
There was no reporting on the speech. It was reporting on a doctored version of the speech. A version doctored for a racist, conservative agenda. Did you watch the whole speech? It isn't about race is about class. It is a story about a person realizing her own prejudices and rising above them. You might want to try understanding it.

Re: You really need to think about what you write and be more clear
River, river,
I also never said they needlessly call the cops.
DO you not realize that there is a record.
Raging liberals? Especially ones that call the cops every time you fart.
So you think it is necessary for them to call the cops every time someone farts?
Ok, ok I get it. You never used the word needlessly, you only implied it. So big bad me for inferring it.
Maybe I am misreading you. All I have to go by is what you post.
How about we drop this. We are getting now where.

Re: reasonable racism
Or the jews with money... or the mexicans with labor, or the asians with math...
Yes this is racist. These are racist stereotypes. Jews are no better than other people at math. The reason this stereotype exists is that they were pushed to the periphery of society by christians. Commerce was seen as unseemly for christians and the charging of interests was thought unchristian. Jews took over these positions in society.
Mexicans are no better at labor than any other people. In our society that is where we delegate them. Given equal opportunity they are not going to gravitate toward menial labor positions any more than any other people. Your prejudices keep you from seeing that this is a class, or rich, poor, issue not a racial or cultural one. There seem to be plenty of competent lawyers, doctors and professionals in Mexico.
Asians and math is another racial stereotype. The 1965 immigration act made preferences for professionals. The influx of asians since then have been educated people that want educated children. Also, there is some speculation that there maybe a cultural help for some asians because their language seems to be more mathematical than western languages. Source
My personal experiences suggests otherwise. My black fiends LOVE fired chicken.
Your personal experiences have little to do with reality. I know black people that like baked chicken. I know some that never eat chicken. This is just another racial stereotype that fits your worldview, which from your comments, is obviously driven by some very bad stereotypes.
