I only ask this question/meaningful point because it seems pertinent
in any developed, multicultural society and I've never heard it asked.
It seems to me rather the type of question that could increase prejudices. In a multi-cultural society, rather than labelling each other into groups at every given opportunity, people should be seen in their own right.

Originally posted by shavixmirYes indeed, the is a highbrow, intellectual, debate forum where some belittle dead 19 yr old US soldiers who died in Vietnam by saying they lost to a bunch of farmers in black pajamas. All along knowing it's a bull s**t statement made only to inflict emotional harm.
This garbage, surely, belongs on the general forum?

Such as the idea that a whole ethnic group can either be nice or naughty, you mean?

I'm glad that someone has finally realised how much better I am than everyone else. Merry Christmas, everyone!

I have no confusion between having an opinion and believing
that opinion to be correct. Do you?

Originally posted by Thequ1ckSo you believe your opinions to be incorrect, and yet you still insist on letting us know... In this case, however, my opinion is that it doesn't make sense to form opinions about groups of people based on the actions of a few. It's not too hard a concept to grasp is it? Whether you were trying to be nice about people or not, I don't see a difference.
Oh oh, here comes the thought police!

Unfortunately that fine, dashing fellow in my Avi is not me. And I'm still trying to work out what an un-ironed face is.
