It's not about Muslims either, silly.

Oh, you have something we don't, no doubt about it.

Another bum metaphor. Muslims don't wear dynamite pants.

I'll readily concede that. And concede that people who feel (or whatever) the presence of something spiritual in the world have something I don't. Now if they'll just admit that I have something they don't...

Maybe so. I'm still flattered.

Don't worry though. Our horny soldiers in the middle east will soon put some mutts into those pure family trees.

Most people studying the matter (there are such people - I'm one of them) note that transvestites imitate a warped or ideal version of womanhood not actually found in most women. There has been a lot of discussion of the fact that transvestites reinforce gender stereotypes rather than subverting them by presenting themselves as 'ultrafeminine', with all that word's accompanying subtexts.

That's because they will not be the traditional definition. Everybody wants to change it because it's a hot, sensitive topic.

I already retracted it when I said "no doubt" which is to show doubt. Assuming he is caucasian, then negro is about as different as it gets, but of course that's debatable. And besides it's not answering my comment. And I used a dictionary - see above. Racism is discrimination based on race, not on religion.

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."

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.
Dovina replying on I don't rhyme enough, eh? by Niphredil 1 Nov 2005, 11:53 AM
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.

Lets just hope none of the lizzard people are reading this.

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.
