Good ole fashioned trolling. Returning to your roots?

Hiding posts from some people wouldn't be immoral at all.
The thinking part of the brain is made of white matter. The more white your skin is, the more white matter your brain has.
The less white your skin is, the less thinking parts you have in your brain.
So hiding dumb peoples' posts is A-okay because they have less brains.

Whoops.

Yeah, people are just like TV channels, all output, no input.
You just switch to the next one if you're bored and no one gets hurt. Also, there's plenty of them, so who cares.

Fox, MSNBC, I have no idea what are you talking about. I'm not american, and I don't like TV.
So are you from Texas or the East Coast?



I'll see your sarcasm and raise you some truth.

Your tongue-in-cheek statement is, in fact, accurate.

To assume otherwise is to assert that I have some obligation to provide "input" to another against my will.

As far as who "gets hurt" by being ignored, that is absolutely hilarious irony considering the game to which this forum belongs, where the very term HTFU is mantra.

Far too many thin skinned people with entitlement complexes running about these days.

As for the rest of the post, sorry the analogy was lost on you. Pearls before swine and all that..

I am an American. Points of origin within the states are usually just cannon fodder for those who would stereotype, and as such I'll refrain from feeding the dragon.


Like stated before I don't bother about the actions of the thread OP or anyone in the game. Most of EVEs characters are mass murderers and serial killers and thats OK. This is just a game forum but you stated your general toughts on a real matter

"Getting hurt" is not the only thing that can happen to someone for being ignored in RL because of their race wichever that may be.

You don't have any obligation to provide whatever "input" to whoever. What I'm saying (and you should know that by know since you're born from persons [at least I think you do] with whom you related to) is that you do provide an "input" when you ignore someone, even if you dont mean to. You can't control that "input", it depends on who that person is and how he will react to being ignored. Again people are not like TV.

Texas?

Orly? So who is in control of my attention? You and your 'group'?


Your instincts. Ideological racism is just dumb. It negates all biological reasoning behind it.

Who said anything about ideological racism? What if what we're dealing with scientific racism? Your sentence doesn't even makes sense, how does it negate biological reasoning? Because you clearly aren't talking about green people anymore as I was, what are you talking about? This? 9_Cluster_Tree.png Biology right? Where is reason negated?

To put that chart in perspective "For example the sequence divergence varies between 0% to 2.66% between non-coding, non-repetitive genomic regions of humans and chimpanzees"

Human_evolutionary_genetics So the races are about as far apart.

Let's say that I can't stand people who are the color green and I think all of their posts are more likely than not a waste of time to read. I know that it's racist but racism isn't immoral in and of itself, it's what you do with that racism. So say whenever I saw a green person posting I pressed the hide button, is that in some way morally wrong?


Well first there is no race of green people that I know of in game or in real life.

Never really understood why scientists decided they need a separate word for humans instead of sticking with the word breed.

Perhaps if they did people could see how stupid breedism is LolLolLolLol
