of course it is, what a strange question
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:30pm [+]

I like that joke!
by johan_moritz on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:30pm [+]

I thought it was funny as well, I dont think that makes him a racist.
by ABC on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:31pm [+]

Don't listen to him ABC. He thinks all questions are strange. Why the hell are you here at b&w mike?
by johan_moritz on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:32pm [+]

I don't think all are strange just some. like the desert Island one and few others.
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:42pm [+]

then why did you reply to the poll, mike?
by ABC on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:44pm [+]

100%, yes
by Tadema on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:47pm [+]

red or yellow , black and white, they are precious in his sight,

Bottom line, raisism is taught, no one is born with hate.
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:48pm [+]

what are you talking about abc, just because I think some polls are strange I can't reply to them.
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:49pm [+]

why would you reply only to critisize?
by ABC on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:55pm [+]

because that is what best and worst is all about, if everyone only agreed to every ballot , it would be a very boring site, it is to create debate.
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 1:58pm [+]

"what a strange question" what does that have to do with debating this ballot?
by ABC on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:03pm [+]

that is why I reply, if no one who disagreed with a ballot did not reply, not many people would be on here. What, abc, I'm always suppose to make comments to your polls if I agree with them? I didn't realize thats how this worked.
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:06pm [+]

I say:what a strange question,

You say: why, or whatever, creating debate.
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:07pm [+]

racism is learned from bad evperiences with the race you hate... all the racists I know were constantly given bullshit and threatened by minorities until they started hating them
by Preparation_H on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:09pm [+]

I disagree, people sterotype minorities and without even knowing them hate. I've seen this all the time, and it makes me sick that in 21st century we still have this
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:15pm [+]

why do you hate me abc?
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:19pm [+]

I dont hate you mike, but you have insulted so many users that i consider friends, I honestly believe that you will understand soon that there is alot of decent people on this site and that most jerks on this site either go away or create a new user name and have some fun.
by ABC on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:35pm [+]

Yes, but it is not totally the fault of the parents, not *totally*, although they should take some responsibility. It is also taught through peers and reverse discriminitation, etc...
by magdalenasdollar on Mon Sep 13, 04 2:36pm [+]

I believe it is, although indirectly, through example.
by Cathexis on Mon Sep 13, 04 3:23pm [+]

Children learn by what they see their peers and role models do. If they see hate being practiced, they pick up the practice.
by Truthseeker013 on Mon Sep 13, 04 3:25pm [+]

I got my politically incorrect views from the minorities themselves
by Preparation_H on Mon Sep 13, 04 3:31pm [+]

you are totally right truthseeker
by mike1952 on Mon Sep 13, 04 3:57pm [+]

It's learned/taught. In my opinion a person learns racism throught the actions of races other than their own. Ex. if members of a race tend to be major assholes I am going to learn to hate them, and every time I see another member of their race I am going to associate'em with those assholes. It's stereotyping, but most stereotypes are based in some truth.
by lowerclassbrats on Mon Sep 13, 04 4:14pm [+]

lowerclass , if members of your own race are total assholes, do you hate them too. I just don't get it, maybe I'm just an idiot, but I can't see how anyone can hate millions of people because of color of their skin
by USMC on Mon Sep 13, 04 10:23pm [+]

I have had a few fisticuffs with old Mikey boy myself. Lets be honest he is a miserable old sod.

But in this case i must agree with him. Disagreeing with/ criticising/ objecting to a ballot is as much a reason to comment on it as if you agree with it.

Maybe Mike doesnt make it easy for people to listen to him sometimes though. I found that out the hard way when i got 5 negative 5 ratings from him in a row! LOL
by Doctordraw on Mon Sep 13, 04 10:34pm [+]

On the matter of this ballot i have to say Racism is LEARNT as well as TAUGHT. If you constantly suffer at the hands of another race you will LEARN to resent them. And if your parents have had similar bad experiences in their life they may conciously or UN_conciously TEACH that too their children.
by Doctordraw on Mon Sep 13, 04 10:37pm [+]

Of course some racism is simply born out of ignorance though, everyone knows that.
by Doctordraw on Mon Sep 13, 04 10:38pm [+]

Oh yeah Doctordraw I forgot about that , but you or your comrads got me back big time. As you may have noticed by my lost star last time I looked . Any ways sorry I did that.
by mike1952 on Tue Sep 14, 04 6:44am [+]

I can honestly say i had nothing to do with your rating going down.

Though i would be lying if i said the thought hadnt entered my head in a BIG way!

Apology accepted. I actually LIKE people who are very opinionated such as yourself, makes things interesting. But i dont agree with sabotaging someones karma because of it, as you appear to have found out the hard way.

Ahhh well. Alls fair in love and B&W as they say.
by Doctordraw on Tue Sep 14, 04 11:39am [+]

The cold hard truth is that certain ethnicities and cultures tend to exhibit certain behaviors and intelligence leves as a general whole which can be experienced and viewed by people outside that particular culture and judge that culture by the particular behavior that said culture exhibits. The fact that blacks and mexicans tend to cut in line more than any other ethnicities is not racism but realism. The fact that the most gifted intellectuals of our time are of white, jewish, asian decent is not racism, it's realism. Breeders have stereotypes about certain breeds of dogs, which comes from sustained experiences with such breed and thus lead to logical general conclusions. Deneying these ethnic/genetic differences in behaivor is paramount to insanity. The definistion of insane is on who does not face the reality around them. Furthermore, blaming all of an ethnicities shortcommings on the white man is another characteristic of low intelligence and poor character.

He He He!! Mexicans and Black people are not the only ones who cut lines dry! Every race does it. I am the person who just stands there after they cut me. It depends on what type of line they try to cut me in. If I am in hurry, I will straighten out any person who cut me, or if it is a long line. Most of the time they get kicked out, or sent to the back of the line. In my decent lengthed walk of life I have seen many types of people cut. Anyways, the most gifted individuals of our time are not mostly white people. I am sorry, but I tend to disagree. Many people have made many gifts and they all have contributed them equally. The human race has the potential to combine many great giftd as a great intellectual. The human race would have that ability if was not for a few kinks and knots. By the way, no race exhibits certain levels of intelligence and behavior as a whole. That is like saying that all ice cream tastes the same. Not. It is true that strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla are all an ice cream flavor, but they do not taste the same even though they are all ice cream. Some strawberry ice creams have strawberries in them and some chocolate ice creams have brownie chunks. Do you get what I am saying? There many flavors that are the same, but with different toppings and makers.
