BTW

MT I think it's retarded that you go putting in bold and hinting at racism at every use of "They" or "Those" in any argument involving humans....

Why, thank you for clearing that up GH.

But just for your edification, refering to any racial group as "Those people" is a racial generalization, hence racism if the generalization is used to draw a conclusion about "those people".

And MT, you just proved how easy it is to mis-identify "racial generalizations"....

I assume, of course, saying "those crackas" is socially acceptable, while "those people" is not?

I dunno SW, I thought we came to a mutual agreement, and I'm fine with that as I hope you are.

GH OTOH seems to want to stir my pot... have fun little boy.

We did, but I'd like to think in the future you wouldn't immediately come to the conclusion that "those people" is a reference to racial bigotry.

The above insinuation is simply a joke(not haha funny, irony funny) perpetuated by white yuppies. Man, do I hate yuppies. (not implying any BBS poster here is a yuppy)

Only when it suits him...

Oh MT now every time I disagree with your wierd ideas I'm immature or a little boy? Or are you offended at my use of the word retarded in reference to my opinion of your behavior when it comes to to the words "they" or "those"?

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.... The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.

And,

Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.
