Two part question, a_skeleton_02. Do you consider yourself racist? If yes, do you understand that amod's stance has been about combating blatant racism over specific words? If no, what is the message you're trying to share that amod is censoring?

If it's just blatant no racism then why do we get to pick and choose what we are allowed to hate?

I mean we have two threads about Islam and people arnt particularly choosy when using terms like goat fucker when referring to the predominantly middle eastern religion.

I think you're just a tired suburban dad who's wife is stepping out on you with some Nog

Well keep being a faggot and you'll keep finding yourself here man, not sure what else to tell you

Stop being a racist fuck and you won't get infracted, how is that for compassion

a_skeleton_02 go readGuns, Germs, and Steel. Cultural dominance, or lack thereof, has nothing to do with race. It is a battle of ideas, not skin colors. It is a memetic contest, not a genetic one. Multiculturalism (of which I assume you mean 'one-way' multiculturalism) is not an attempt to kill white people, it is an attempt to dilute and wash away the memes of the Enlightenment.

Um, let me remind you all that this thread is supposed to be about how much my life sucks.

How much?

Stretching the book out to the Enlightenment is me, not Diamond, by the way. He only seeks to answer Yali's question, not to explain why Yali's tribe represents all of pre-enlightenment humanity. That is my own connection. The memes of the Enlightenment are just an extension of the same things that gave rise to guns, steel, and germs, a.k.a. civilization, in the first place.

I didn't watch your PBS thing yet Chanur but the gist of GGS is essentially the idea that it was geographical reasons that predominantly decided that Europe would sail around the world with GGS on board their vessels, first. It was not the color of their skin nor any particular merit of the individuals who inhabited Europe. You could have had Blacks in China, Japanese in Meso America, Russians in Carolina, Indians in Africa, and Americans in Europe, and it all would have, very broadly speaking, played out about the same. It wasn't the Europeans themselves who managed to sail across the Atlantic per-se, it waswhateverpeople would have arisen on the European continent. By virtue of the their geography, rivers, climate, size, location, native flora, native fauna, the actual physical geometry of the landmasses, and their natural resources they were the ones who had the best opportunity to flourish the widest. In essence, they found the best spot on the CivV map to plop down a city.

If you reshuffled the races back when they were first settling the globe, the European homo sapiens were always going to sail over to America with GGS, and not the American homo sapiens sailing over to Europe. No matter the particulars of their genetic varieties.

Within the GGS framework, you could argue that Europe eventually caught up to and out paced China due to the fact the Atlantic is not as wide as the Pacific. It was easier to find America for Europe than it was for China to have found it. Either scenario would have resulted in that civilization becoming globally dominant.

This is made even more stark when you note that although Spain was looking for Gold, it had found Silver. And it was selling it to China in massive quantities. Imagine a historical China without such a middle man.

Shut up Mist. I'll say whatever I want in your thread.

I'm a race realist.

I don't advocate violence against any one race butI do understand that not all races are equaland that multiculturalism is just a code word for white genocide. Almost every social problem in our county could be fixed within one generation if we were a white nation first and removed the degenerate elements both white and otherwise that dragging our country down to the likes of Europe.

So we agree that you are a [flavor of] racist? The standing board policy is no blatant racism - which is what got you put here in the first place.

I don't necessarily disagree with all of your points, but it seems silly to go against the board rules then try and weasel out of punishment.

I honestly didn't think that much of GSS. The book could have been summarized to 3-4 chapters instead of bloating it out to say not all that much more with repeating itself. Maybe I'm biased because of how much it was hyped up to me - but it's not a book I'd suggest buying over reading a critical summary of.
