I'm sure you'll soon receive plenty of dictionary references to dispute your definition. Good luck.

PPPS- "race n. Citing this and other points - such as the fact that a person who is considered black in one society might be nonblack in another - many cultural anthropologists now consider race to be more a social or mental construct than an objective biological fact."
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	zodiac 217.144.7.195	1-Nov-05/12:05 PM
What the hell do you mean by "the most different race from his"? This discussion cannot continue until you retract that. PS-Ian F. Haney Lopez, The Social Construction of Race: Some Observations on Illusion, Fabrication, and Choice, 29 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 1-62, 6-7, 11-17 (Winter, 1994) It is clear that even though race does not have a biological meaning, it does have a social meaning which has been legally constructed. PPS-Why don't you use a dictionary? racist adj 1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks" 2: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion [syn: antiblack, anti-Semitic, anti-Semite(a)] n : a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others [syn: racialist]

I'll answer the angleless question. They immitate womanhood, not me necessarily or any woman I know. They wish to feel the presence of a attribute I was born with. I find that comforting.

I will take that as honesty and not as an angle. No, I think I will take that as honesty and not an angle. No, I think that I think I will take that as honesty and not an angle. Usually, I leave off the "I think"s and that is part of the problem.

You want to be Zodiac in heaven, but you don't see how it's possible. The conundrum of one who thinks, and figures his thinking is as good as it gets.

I thought of Square Pantsed Bobbers as TNT-clothed Muslims. It's really not about Christianity

My first Graphic design Job: 6.50 a fuckin' hour (only a dollar above minimum). My tuition: over 35,000 dollars. Kids, please, stay out of school.

Everyone who has said this arguement is silly is right. And they are right because Alchemy is right when he says god make dictionaries, let's use them. As long as some of you keep making up your own definitions of "race," the discussion muddles in a Tower of Babel, and can no more be resolved than such a tower can be built. So, sticking with the dictioinary, Missourians, Muslims, converts and cockneys are not races. When our dark friend said he is racist against cockneys, I made the arguement that he is really racist against the predominant race of cockneys - his own race, no doubt. And his slander of negroes, the most different race from his, is projection of deep feelings of inadequacy in his race, and mine too I could add. He projects he guilt onto the most different race from his own, like a woman sometimes blames all men for her faults.

PS-The metaphor breaks down where you have God wearing pants. PPS-Also where you have Sponge Bob Square Pants' followers be "Square Pants Bobbers". That would make the followers of Jesus Christ King of Kings "King Kinged Christers".
Re: a comment on The Gospel According to Zodiac by Dovina	zodiac 217.144.7.195	1-Nov-05/11:29 AM
Ooh, nice dig! No, wait - I DO want to be zodiac in heaven. I don't even want to be zodiac-that-God-makes-a-million-times-smarter in heaven. Of course, when I'm a million times smarter, I'll probably think this is a bunch of rot. My problem with annihilation of the self is a lot like my problem with reincarnation. Yeah, it's nice to think I'll get to come back to earth in infinite forms and such, but if I can't remember my previous lives, and if I'm not anything like them, how is it really zodiac being reincarnated, and not some completely new person? The fact that I don't actually believe in a soul that survives and somehow sublimates the self is probably a large part of why I don't get that.

Screw that. I already spent the last seven years becoming an expert in something EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD thinks he can do without experience or qualifications. If I had it to do again, I'd become a fireman.
Re: a comment on The Gospel According to Zodiac by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	1-Nov-05/11:19 AM
Then I've overestimated you; you want to be just as your are in heaven.

I thought a lot of this was good. The first two lines need to go, though. A total absence IS a void. That's what void means.

Good for you for stopping at worldwide conspiracy of mere humans. So many of us have lost that ability.

Which comes to no surprise that abductees are often sexually abused by the aliens. Gives a new angle to that old "My Favorite Martian" show. "Uncle Martin what's that probe for?" Recently I watched on WinAmp this guy David Icke talk about the illuminati conspiracy quite convincingly I might add for 4 hours only to hear him finish the last hour talking about how they were alien lizzard people from another dimension. It's a wonder the audience didn't kill him on the spot. I sure wanted to after sitting through all that. But apperantly these lizzard people in disguise have become a phenomenon around the world.
