Nothing wrong with discrimination and hate? C'mon, let's see you back that one up!

Hate is a natural emotion, especially as part of the grieving process. Nothing wrong with hate. How you apply that hate, now that might have some negative effects.
 
Sometimes, I agree with the posts being made, and sometimes I disagree. this is the first time I can say, I have no idea what any of the last few posts means. They appear to be in English, I know what all of the words mean, but the meaning of the paragraphs totally escapes me.

I believe it may be related to not being into video games, maybe?
Video games are for the children, of all ages.
This thread, at one time a bit interesting, has degenerated into mindless babble.
 
How am I supposed to prove a negative? Why don't you explain why they're wrong?

Hate, even if the hater doesn't act on his emotion, has a negative effect on his own mental health.

Discrimination has a negative effect on the object of that discrimination.

Studies or anything to prove this? I know I've heard about this, but never seen it proven.

Discrimination has a negative effect on the object of that discrimination.

I know I'm more easygoing than most but when I'm discriminated against I either laugh and go along with it, successfully destroying the discriminator, or I remember this:

and life is all sunshine and lollipops.

People who focus too much on hate and it's "negative side effects" only perpetuate those side effects. Now, physical violence as a result of hate, yeah that has visible effects. Just hate? Eh. People can get over it. Unless dey is a BITCH.

I hate pedophiles. I don't believe this has a negative effect on my mental health.

I also discriminate against them, or would if given the opportunity. For example, I would absolutely support legislation banning them from working with children.

Does that have a negative effect on them? I sure hope so.
 
I don't hate anyone based on their race, but I do tend to be more cautious when a black male with loose single colored clothing is in my presence. But that could just be my "racist" tendencies instead of life experience huh?

Profiling and Racism are two different beasts. Profiling will save your life, whereas racism might endanger it. :lol:

I hate to pull this card... but a hefty amount of "liberal" individuals prosecute the two identically.

Yeah, but so what? This thread isn't about liberals.
 
This is debate politics, every post is about liberals :p I was just being preemptive! LOL

Nah, you're just worried his pants will fall down. :lol:

Ihate to pull this card... but this is typical wingnut generalising hyperbole. :mrgreen:
 
I don't really "Hate" any particular group. but there are from time to time individuals that rub me wrong.---but they seem to come in all shapes and sizes, and colors. ---but if I disagree with something, does that make it wrong? I forget.

Maybe the fact that he put "Liberal" in quotations means something guys.

You ever think of that?


Perhaps he realizes there is a difference between a Classical Liberal and a Modern "Liberal". And perhaps the stereotypical, and more prevalent, modern liberal IS like that. They do use blanket terms and lump things together, both sides do it.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
 
I can't believe people actually voted no.

In your own mind or in thoughts, no one cares, but once you apply racism to a situation which does not need it (or makes it worse) then it is wrong.

It will be interesting to see a poll like this come around when the white peeps voting in this thread become the minority:roll:

Thankfully, I will be dead by that time......;)
.......So I won't have to see the U.S. become a third world country......;)

OMG! You really think that would make us a third world country? Just because the "white" man is no longer running things? Get used to it cause guess what? Even though you may be dead by THAT time? This is in the meantime and change has come:2razz:

Too late.

Its been a third world country since 1945. I'd love to see the expression on people's faces (not only white people) like "the tables have turned muthaf*cka!" :2wave: :shock:

But seriously, it would be a very interesting place to live in. That's actually happening now in my state of Texas (I say "my state" even though it shouldn't be). I'm not entirely sure but I think whites are already the minority, I'll have to do some fact checking.

I think its kind of obvious that the world is getting smaller and if we were to survive another million years, humans would essentially amalgamate into one race. Whites are still seen as the "basis" race. If you are half black and half white, why are you still considered black? Like our president? He's not the first non-white president, he's the first mixed race president.

You are correct...;)
We are being led right to the ****ter by a black man.....;)
Hopefully we will survive the next three years.....
We ain't there yet so don't get too uppity just yet.....:lol:
Have a hopey, changey day......:doh
