lol Your comment started decently, I agree, let's not accept a priori that we're all the same, politically correct bullshit. However, the statement "you should respect other races but you don't have to like them" is what makes racism so silly. I acknowledge that we all may be racist to a certain level, but once you are capable of discernment and/or have some level of intelligence, you can't accept rationally that every individual of a group (race) is X because of their race, it just cannot be true, specially when individuals from that race come from so many different cultural backgrounds. It cannot be true on a pragmatic level. A black American cant be the same as a black man from, say, Congo or Brazil. A black man that works in a bank or in a government won't be the same as your ghetto black man. You just can't reduce every individual from a group to its race and make general statements about them. I really cannot say that all black men are lazy, drug dealers or any feature you would attribute. Racism is an irrational fear, mostly received from media and culture. I loled to your comment because you say you have to respect a race but do not have to like them. What does it mean ? You should not be racist but you should ? Lol. Major contradiction here. I'm talking about the internal struggle between what you generally (philosophically) believe in and what your emotions or experiences tell you. Between respecting and liking there's a gap, isn't it? As I said before with spiders, people should respect them for what they are and do, they can't help having 8 legs. But you still don't have to like them. Or Christians. Since I dropped out of Church I never liked it a a whole. But I can respect people's decisions and beliefs that make them, say, go to church every sunday.

You think?

Heh, results are still everywhere. There's so much shitty export going on to eastern Europe its

In my opinion it has taken too much of the world a long time ago. Let's broaden the debate here. 98% of Watmm hates spiders and wishes them bad things. It's openly spoken all the time. Now spiders are really nice little creatures, catching flies and doing their spiderly stuff. People saying kill those little fuckers are expressing their thoughts. Hmmm. So yes, now is the time to gang up on me telling me that's different. But as long as we're philosophical, is it really different?

like chaos said, it's legal in most countries, but whether it's socially acceptable is probably highly dependent on where you are. I didn't mean by laws, I meant morally and socially. You know, just saying such things in public. I believe globalization is a terrible BIG thing, mostly because we haven't grown up enough as a species to do it properly.

Ok, but my first and still most important question remains: If you feel that you don't like some minority or race for this or that reason, is it forbidden to speak it out loud? In other news, I love different kinds of people, makes human race much richer, and I'm really really against racism. I feel it was about time I said that since some of you were getting a bit nervous lol. Fact remains, we like people better than others. Sometimes it's what they do, sometimes it's how they act, sometimes it's what they look like and sometimes it's gets a bit generalized. It sucks and it'll probably always be like that, but in my opinion...

Have people here had any personal experiences with other races (or minorities or whatever) or are you just babbling because of your personal beliefs? There's shit in our whole history connected with racism, but all of it can't be thought as evil. Some can be just common sense, you do things your way, other do things their way, you don't like their way, for some reason you are forced to live as neighbours and now you'll pretend you're not bothered any more? Democracy please, you should well express your thoughts, tactfully of course. Am I alone on this? I'd really like to hear some experiences on this matter, not just theories how well it is to think of everyone equal and be politically correct and stuff.

lol what modafaka?

Well. Guy has a point there. If he doesn't like black people he doesn't like them. He was honest about it and they called him stupid and all, well... I think he was the most sanest one there. On the same topic, as long as we're gonna go around pretending we're all the same we're fucked. black people are not the same as white people and not the same as any other kinds of peoples. And it's only natural you like some better than others and indeed experience can teach you that you go along better with some than others. You should respect other races imo, but you don't have to like them. If any black person tells me anytime he doesn't like whities because of this and that I won't be offended, as long as he tries to explain himself.

Human kind can never destroy racism, at least not in the kind of society as we've developed up until now. Individuals can make a breakthrough or may be non-racial as they are, but the whole people, nah, not in a 1000 years.

I just started this and it's really great and weird in a good way

Beginning of Rushup i Bank 12 kicks my ass every time There's also some 180 more awesome moments...

Reading Alice in wonderland and its ok. Didn't see the movie with Depp and probably never will. Now that I've read through half of the book the trailer looks even more wrong.

A love those books too! Just finished Do androids dream of electronic sheep. Wow, great stuff. I always wondered if it was as good as Blade runner lol. I guess it is.

boogers and cigarettes.

I say listen. Who gives the shit!

So far (in the middle of track 2) it sounds very cute. Autechre or not, I could live with some music like this.

My gf is reading Harry Potter to me in bed these days. All put together its a great experience.

Really, really funny video that one! Good job!

If I lived anywhere near you guys I'd totally let aziaziazi do it for me. He's great!

Great thread. I've been wanting to make my own desk and table and everything for my room for a few years now. I have some tools at home, I could buy wood, I do have some knowledge on this as I made some furniture for my room a few years back (one piece collapsed and destroyed a loudspeaker though...). Working with wood is a beautuful thing and every real man should do it once in a while! At least chop it or something if you're the destructive type...
