Webster's New World Dictionary: Race: "any of the different varieties or populations of human beings distinguished by a) physical traits such as hair, eyes, skin color, body shape, etc.: traditionally, the three primary divisions are Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid, although many subdivisions of these are also called races b) blood types c) genetic code patterns d) all their inherited characteristics which are unique to their isolated breeding population."
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/1:00 PM
You define "race" so nebulously that the word carries no meaning. Only by holding the traditional "physical charisteristics" test is the word any good. Ms. Dictionary says so. And If you wish, you may add the words "I think" a dozen or more times into the above comment.

Yes, lol, that's good advice.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/12:50 PM
If you wish to use one of the modern, contorted definitions of race, then of course you are right. These broad definitions, including almost any trait, physical or not, in defining races are useless, but politically acceptable. They basically say nothing.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/12:38 PM
I never said there are only three races, even though a long time ago that was the definition. Read again; I said other divisions are acceptable, but only based on physical characteristics. And that was the mainstream thinking until radical politicals got mixed into it.

Yes, but I was kidding. lol. :)
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/12:28 PM
Oh, I see, my statement is one a moron makes. Again, you do not use the dictionary definition. I said the difference is debatable, but you must admit there is a wide difference between the white and black races, wider than between most races. And besides it's a side issue, not the thrust of my comment. Race is distinguished only by physical characteristics in the traditional definition.

It's not about Muslims either, silly.

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

Maybe so. I'm still flattered.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/12:13 PM
That's because they will not be the traditional definition. Everybody wants to change it because it's a hot, sensitive topic.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/12:10 PM
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'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.
Re: a comment on I don't rhyme enough, eh? by Niphredil	1-Nov-05/11:53 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.

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
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	1-Nov-05/11:38 AM
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.

Then I've overestimated you; you want to be just as your are in heaven.

I admit to not watching SpongeBob much. He seemed zodiacianly godlike in a particular mood, ok an intoxicated mood. Squidward is too pretentious for a god image. He's like somebody who knows all about god - sound familiar?

The time on mine is 7 hours fast. You're caught in Central Time Zone or Eastern with a slow clock.
