The Rage Topic

There’s nothing wrong with genetically being white. The issue is thinking it makes you better than everyone who is not. It’s like urine thinking it’s better than water.

That being said everyone who isn’t black is a mutant but there’s nothing WRONG with being a disgusting mutant as long as you ain’t lynching and murdering the guys you mutated from en masse

Heh, I intended it to not really be directed at anyone in particular. :stuck_out_tongue: Sorry for the mixup.

@Ramirezoid I agree.

I despise behavior like that as well, but causing a mass genocide of that race because of someone’s way of thinking is extreme, and frankly, also racist (not saying you are).

It’s like me and bitching about people making fun of my country. I made it sound like I generalized foreigners to the US in that entire group (that wasn’t the intent really), when in reality it’s just a group of fucking idiots.

That said, I promote the death(s) of stupid people and ignorance everywhere.

I don’t. eliminating stupid people isn’t going to stop new ones form replacing them.

To eliminate stupidity you need to have good education and you need it to be accessible to everyone, period.

That’s one of my favorite parts of the internet: there’s tons of shit you can learn about without spending a dime.

even if you don’t have money for maintaining a computer or smartphone, you can find your way to a library (be it public or in a school) with internet terminals and the added bonus of a buncha books.

(good education would mean competent teachers/professors, an expansive, unbiased curriculum, and nondiscriminatory policies. even in america, such learning institutions do not currently exist.)

euhm no, if you hold to the evolution theory without higher power, any genocide is equally disastrous to the survival of the species. There is no reason why Europeans or Asians would be a better choice, not even because there are many of them or because they currently have great material wealth. Genetically, the distinction is arbitrary.
If anything, killing all Europeans or all Asians would free up more resources for the rest than any other “race”. Which is what Ramirezoid was getting at, I think.

by that logic everything alive is a mutant
white people are no more or less mutated than non white people, everything else you said is pretty subjective hmm

Humanity.
I find the whole ‘race issue’ thing to be pretty stupid. There are plenty breeds of dogs, which are physically different from each other in more drastic ways than humans have, but we don’t call them members of other races. They’re dogs.
Likewise, a human is a human.

I’d like to point out that anyone who would commit genocide of any form is guilty of that kind of thinking. (And also mass murder.)

dis…disgusting? I’m disgusting?

You’re confusing species with races. Also, all dogs are the same species and are artificially bred so it’s not a very good comparison.

Yeah, pretty much what I was getting at with my last rant. But even with education, you’ll have shit like this sprouting up regardless. Unfortunately, it’s ingrained in some communities/society and it isn’t going anywhere fast. Doesn’t matter if you kill them on a mass level or not.
Let me use Muslim extremism as an example (not them specifically, but they’re the most modern example here):

The stupid ones die the most quickly, it’s the smart (educated) ones that end up in prison and stay alive. Ignoring this “proper” education and removal of those problem elements would be a step in the right direction in this instance. I highly recommend reading the article, it’d be something entertaining, even if it IS cracked.

I consider every person on equal grounds when it comes to sizing them up for X or Y. I was not inciting that one person is superior to another. Flatline has it right though, that’s the species as a whole. ‘Race’ is the nice way of putting it when it comes to colored people.

While, semantically speaking, you guys are right, my point was that we don’t segregate any other species into other ‘races’ - if it’s a dog, it’s a dog. If it’s a cat, it’s a cat. So why do we feel the need to say there’s a difference between humans that’s large enough to warrant creating a different term for the differentiation?

All the existence of the term ‘race’ does is lead to racism. I don’t like it.

It’s also pretty much impossible to use “race” with any sort of accuracy, since superficial differences don’t necessarily speak to genetic ones.
A white dude could be more closely related to some black dude than some other white dude, and vice versa. Or not. There’s no way to know unless you do DNA testing, and even then it’s subject to interpretation and error.

Call me a wuss if you will, but I’m thinking there are perhaps other things we can rage about that are less… controversial?

i payed big bucks for a 360 gamepad last week. the left click doesn’t register and the right stick drifts to the left after a mere week of use. I’m used to these things fucking up but this one is a genuine microsoft model, i remember them being sturdier. Sucks big time

Had to listen to some dick in Chemistry go off on a rant as to how pure Hitler’s intentions really were after the professor mentioned Hess’s Law. Then the whole class started arguing with him. The whole thing went on for about five straight minutes until another student yelled at everyone and got the class back on track.

I got cosecant and secant messed up on a precalculus quiz. :frowning:

can’t you return it?

I’m still using the PS3 controller that I bought for 5$ and fixed the right trigger using a spring from a floppy disk.

Get out of your concrete box.

Coffee.In.My.Printer.

You need to print a test page to calibrate your new coffee maker.

got up at 6pm and missed my shrink appointment :expressionless:
