Chimera, it's because we've heard it all before in the Etc. thread. I heard enough to make a judgement, and you are NOT qualified to say that your opinions are based on more solid evidence than mine, I also have sources!
Truth exists out of any person's perception of it, right? I see it from my perspective, you see it from yours, Pecker sees it from his. None of us will even know who is "right", because it's the question that's flawed. We could all site studies until our asses fall off, but in the end it will solve nothing. My point is that the sooner we learn to grow from each other and stop separating ourselves from each other based on pre-judgement, the healthier we will be as a society. Trying to assert issues of racism only serves to cause a return to the dark ages, and we can do better than that now. The fact that this even needs to be explained speaks volumes. I didn't want to see your "proof" because I've seen all sorts of studies dressed up as racist rhetoric. Now, I personally very rarely measure a guy's dick, but having seen quite a few, I haven't noticed a significant difference between the races. No, I haven't gone door-to-door and measured every guy in America, but neither has anyone else! One study (from a condom company) asserted results with only 675 case studies! Another on had only 135! Sure, there are factors I look into when deciding how much weight to give a certain study, one thing is the intent of the study, another is the personal beliefs of the person or group conducting the study.
I don't automatically believe whatever's in print, that is not discernment.
In my heart (this is not a fact, lol) I believe that all religous texts preach love, tolerance (to some extent) charity and kindness. I find these "truths" to be universal. People, who are human, can arrange "facts" to prove about whatever we want, but the real issues of what our lives are all about are then lost as we become rhetoric-spewing automatons. No, I don't believe in racism being inborn- not at all. Children are not racist until their parents tell them to be, seen it too many times.
As for you not coming here to stir up shit, we'll see, but so far it's not looking good. |
