What is the DEAL with other races, anyway? (Now with homos!)

[Anathema]

I never said that. You’re saying I said that.

Wouldn't your "Kill Whitey" sig say you're a racist?

[Rongi]

But I'm being brave aren't I?

[Emu]

he's talking about those albinos, and nobody likes them

[Chojin]

I'm going to split anathema's contributions to this thread into a new topic.

[Emu]

this has been a wonderful day

[Matt Harty]

im dizzy

[Rez]

prick.

listen, you look down because a majority of us havent given you "intelligent arguments" (aside from kelly"garfield"chaos) against why "being a racist is bad."

one should question instead why there needs to be a serious refutation of that statement if the person who said it cant automatically see how racism holds ground not in law, religion, or mores, but of uneducated, irrational, and crude prejudice.

so you're new, you've made an idiotic statement that tells us youre "that guy" that believes in questioning everything yet questions really obvious ideas. so it's only natural to treat you like a DON-KEY, since you're also whiny and defensive.

goddamn.

[Anathema]

Sounds like someone else is being defensive and whiney.

If you choose to go through life not questioning things and you’re happy just living a mundane existence that’s fine. Don’t expect everyone else to do it though. If questions frighten you then perhaps you should stick your head in the sand more and just hope everything gets better. Of course it won’t, but there you go.

You really shouldn’t get so emotional.

[Emu]

you're one of those people who looks at the cottage cheese on your plate at dinner and thinks "Is it wrong to eat living things"

[Anathema]

Eating “Living Things” as you so eloquently put it, is essential to survival. So no I wouldn’t say that.

[thebiggameover]

what about the gays Anathema? what say you then?

this is exactly what i'm talking about. youre full of the idea that you're FUCKING AROUND with other peoples ideas but really you were just questioning a really basic idea and then "challenging" everyone else to respond as if it were some radical view of life. it's not. you're not "the guy without his head in the sand"

you're lost up your ass.

[Anathema]

Listen contrary to the fact that somehow I’ve been labled a racist and what have you, I really don’t have anything against anybody.

That being said, if you’re gay that’s fine, live your gay life, but its not really a good idea.

[Matt Harty]

Why not?

it's not a good idea to be gay because it's really hard to get into the pastel pink Fortress of Homotude without a degree

[Carnivore]

I've never agreed with people who judged others based on race. I always try to get to know someone before passing judgment. In the past three years, however, I've grown to hate people who conform to negative racial stereotypes, thus perpetuating them. When I see a minority type with his baggy pants around his ankles and a rag on his head, I automatically think "GUILTY!"

In my line of work, you deal with shitbags, and they come in all shapes and colors. Unfortunately, the majority of them are minorities. It's been harder and harder for me to consider in the back of my mind what circumstances lead these people to become what they are. It's been increasingly difficult to remember that in most cases it's ignorance that leads most of these people to equate an ambulance with a taxi, not malice.

Racism is absolutely rampant where I work. The city I work in has a population of over 100,000 with very large SE Asian, Hispanic, and Black groups, the former being the largest. My company has one non-Caucasian EMT. Coworkers make up racist names for diseases. AIDS is called JBF, the Jigaboo Flu, for example. My partner for my 24-hour Sunday shifts, who is also a very good friend of mine, is the worst offender. It's very difficult in these circumstances not to get sucked into the racist mindset.

I'm still trying, though. Still trying to look beyond and think of the why.

Never work in emergency healthcare. My mother was an ER nurse for over 20 years and it got to her over time too. Maybe my eventual transformation is inevitable.

because if you're gay, you aren't BRAVE

i'm starting to understand this guy!

[Rongi]

why is being gay not a good idea?

[Chojin]

Shhh! We're about to find out!

[glowbelly]

BECAUSE IT'S COWARDLY TO GET FUCKED IN THE ASS, RONGI.

COWARDLY.

[Chojin]

guys i am trying to absorb this fresh new way of approaching everyday circumstances like a half-retarded kitten that stares in bewilderment when you shake a plastic bag. please be quiet!

Its not a good idea mainly because you’re setting yourself up for eternal depression, with a few bouts of hollow happiness. Not to mention its opening you up to scorn, ridicule, and possible death by the intolerant. It’s a matter of odds. And quite frankly the gays don’t have good ones.

Oh of course there are exceptions, but it’s rare. Everyone likes to believe that you can live a “happy gay lifestyle” but ultimately most of them are miserable and self loathing about being gay. They hate themselves and they’re ashamed.

There of course is the whole thing about higher risk of diseases, but everyone knows about that, though lesbians seem to fare a little better in this department.

There’s the question of whether it’s a “Choice” or “Genetic”. It doesn’t matter. It’s just not a good idea to pursue it. The “unhappiness” you’ll have by denying your feeling won’t compare to the unhappiness you’ll have if you do pursue them.

An interesting theory is if it IS indeed genetic, then it could concievably be cured through some sort of medical procedure. This could solve a lot of problems in the future.

Have you tried being gay?
