Well...just darn it all to heck....you had time to look that stuff up. Why can't anyone else? lol Seriously...attacking someone based on looks is nothing to crow about, regardless of how well showcased one's grammar and spelling skills are. It's all still simply a stage or platform, and dressed up baited comments or personal attacks, aren't hidden long. Even if you were to put them in a tux and tophat, they still show through for what they are....along with the person behind those comments.

I made assumptions...

Making an assumption based upon racial lines is not automatically racism. That was one of the points that shithead got lost among his other crap. People make judgements based upon available data sometimes, sometimes they do not do enough research, it does not automatically mean they are racist. I will say that other comments that he has made, leads me to believe that he is extremely biased along racial lines. See this is different than racism. He seems to be very bigoted towards everyone, again I recommend checking the defintion for the words I use. I am not defending his actions in the least, I am just stating there is a misnomer occuring and attemtping to correct it. racism:1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination Orion quote: ORIGINAL: CrimsonMoan quote: ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf The mistake was made by many, but I am loathe to call it racism.

Orion Greetings Master Orion, I concur with this line of thinking/evaluation of his posts. We do make judgements all the time. This was a great post to clarify some of the finer points without throwing more fuel on this particular bonfire. well wishes ~ fairer than she

quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol Well, I, for one, am glad that anybody beating their child is putting themselves out for judicial retribution. In those times you so much long for, children didn't carry guns to school, but they would grow up to beat each other up, to beat their siblings up, and eventually, their own offsprings. As for street violence, I shudder when I think of the American Wild West, or indeed, Victorian London. I don't call that a good thing. Someone may have already pointed this out (I didn't read the whole thread), but there is a difference between beating your child and disciplining your child. I was spanked as a child, and while it wasn't very physically painful, the embarrassment was enough of a deterrent to keep me in line most of the time. That's discipline. I knew what was good and bad behavior, because when I did something bad, my parents would punish me for it. A lot of kids today don't get punished properly, and they don't learn until it's too late what civilized behavior is. Beating your child means hitting them for no good reason, out of anger or frustration, or more severely than neccessary for disciplinary purposes. The child learns nothing except to imitate that behavior and is often traumatized as a result.
