GeorgiaDon 380 #278 March 25, 2013 Quoterecently you can select "decline to answer" - which I think is a great statement if we honestly feel that cosmetics don't matter for anything of substance It would also be fun if you could select "all of the above". Aside from questions of the value/legitimacy of asking for the information in the first place, the choices don't really allow for mixed race, which is more and more common. So the "data" gained is inherently inaccurate, in a way that allows it to be twisted to whatever agenda the group collecting the data may desire. For example, is Obama black? Is he white? Depends on who is doing the asking, and the answer they want to get. It's time to stop asking about race. I do think there are legitimate questions that could be asked, such as "does this school system prepare kids adequately for college", but that requires tracking the academic success of individuals, not races.

rehmwa 2 #281 March 25, 2013 Quotebut that requires tracking the .... success of individuals, not (some politically defined demographic) well, that's impossible - if you can't force people to be biased to this group or that group, how are you going to get them to hate each other and then vote for your favorite democrat or republican so they can try to get you preferences over them while you still feel good (or smug, or self righteous) about it? silly concept - taking people as individuals rather than bunching them in with some subjective grouping - that's crazy talk ...

OHCHUTE 0 #284 March 25, 2013 QuoteQuote If you believe Adultery should not be a crime then I suspect then you are against the institution of marrage? Adultery is in violation of the marriage contract. Do you believe that every action that is less than noble should be a crime? What is the benefit to society to prosecute and imprison every person who strays from their marriage vows? Adultery is a civil matter, not a crime; it is a violation of a contract, and in the legal sense it is best treated as a contract matter in divorce proceedings, should the couple decide to divorce over the matter. For that matter, do you believe divorce should be legal? If so, you obviously are against the institution of marriage. QuoteThe fact is folks, once you stray from marriage between a man and a women a whole host of new issues evolve. Whatever. You mean, like human/troll marriage? Those cross-species pairings open the door to all kinds of crazy shit, and so they absolutely should be banned. Don Good. Open the flood gates and make it: ANYTHING GOES. Forget morals, respect and decencency. Forget laws and social contracts. Here we had a AIDS epidemic and people knew that if they were sexually promiscuous they would contract a disease and die. And guess what, people were sexually promiscous and they did die and they are dying still. Let's just turn this dog and pony show into a dog a pony show, with people doing what ever in the hell they want, without any recourse about who they might offend or even amuse if people are so interetested in watching the show. We are trending towards a liberal society where as someone on here put it: "The nuclear family is over." Whatever that is suppose to mean in an attempt that what was the norm, is now not the norm. I'm going out now to get a porpoise tail graphed to my ass so that I can swim back to the ocean were we all came from to try and learn why we're making this turn towards an idea that for the most part, is not normal for the masses, yet due to advertising and marketing, made to seem as though all this is so normal. (I gather college socialology and sexual deviat behavior text books are being re-written to accomodate these new found mores.) And perhaps there soon won't be any deviat behavior as any and all behavior will be labeled normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't give a shit what her sex is, I will disagree with her like I would anyone else in here, do you think she is incapable of arguing for herself because she's a girl? that's insulting. What else is very insulting to women is when you dislike someone and compare them to a leaky vagina. Stay classy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
promise5 17 #289 March 25, 2013 Quote I was born in '56. Growing up in 60's & 70's in the north midwest, was still quite controversial & discriminatory. I don't ever remember a check off box "human", nor "write in" ability on any form, questionaire or document during those times. Anglo Saxon was the ethnic choice for White, along with the limited Asian, American Indian, or Negro. Proper entitlement of proclaiming rightful ethnicity has evolved dramatically since, but never have I seen the ability to proclaim 'human" & leave it at that in any official document You have contacted me personally, giving me your geographical & family history none of which is consistant with some of the content you've posted in this thread. Sorry, but I've got to say, I've questioned it for awhile, but now too am thinking either you are a 'project' or have some other agenda I'm sorry that you feel the way you do. and yes you can write in human on any document, and leave it that. I'm sorry that the people you grew up around were so discriminatory. I wish it was not that way It really is a shame. Let's see I was born in Wisconsin as I stated, moved from there to Alaska and then from there to Connecticut. How is that any different then what I have posted? Is it because I don't feel the need to give you my name,birthdate and S.S. number? I'm don't know why but you seem to take issue with me. I sincerely don't have a problem with you in any way shape or form and only wish you the best. I do apologize if my asking for information about an old pic has caused this, I really didn't think it was that big of deal.No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.

I am going by family history, believe me if I am wrong in anyway I will be the first to admit it and publicly state that. My mother's parents were married in Mississippi in 1957 and yes wrote Human. As did my parents when they were married in WI. and also wrote that on my birth certificate and those of my siblings, and every document since then.No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.

It ends up in the wrong decision in this case, but in voting one can be as personal as desired -- just look at all the single-issue voters out there. Personally, I think that's stupid, stupid, stupid. But it's legal, the system is designed to work with it. Hopefully most people don't vote that way, but it's within one's rights to do so.
