Yes, congratulations Brian. You are once again covered in blood. *cluck*

Absolutely right. Thanks, Posty.

Lol. I know. And don't worry, I still love Hanover despite his arseovertits whackbackassvilIe ideas. I got another good example though. In Northern Ir...

I'm going to move on from the you /T Clark thing. I just hope you'll think about it more later and come to a different conclusion.

I think they should have been given the land as they were. But they didn't stumble on it, they were actively helped as you know. And it was positive d...

I'm not going to defend the video as I didn't post it. Anyhow, I'd rather just see straightforward arguments too. And videos used as evidence or demon...

The more you write about this, the more you keep stuffing grenades in your shorts. And I wish you were reading @"T Clark" as charitably as I'm trying ...

May 19, 2018 at 04:53
Zionism was based on positive discrimination for Jewish people. There wouldn't be an Israel without positive discrimination.

On second watch, you're right, I misinterpreted the vid somewhat. Skipped through too quickly the first time, and the crappy music put me off. It focu...

Thought on Royal Wedding No. 2. It's God's punishment for TV watchers.

Anyway, I'm done for tonight. Night all. :up:
May 18, 2018 at 20:11
Don't put words in my mouth. The video is consistent with there still being widespread discrimination. That's consistent with claims made by me, T Cla...
May 18, 2018 at 20:09
So, what was the point? You show me the video, I agree with the sentiment, and you tell me I have no stake in it? We all have a stake in it in so far ...

@"Hanover" Thinking about it, I guess we should separate out discrimination in action as I did in my own definition from feelings and affinities. In t...
May 18, 2018 at 19:26
Unless I complete misread you. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
May 18, 2018 at 19:20
You implied earlier you discriminate, in terms of how much you like people, based on their race (you like your own kind more even though you don't dis...

When you go to the trouble of doing your own study, you can choose whatever words you want. I don't have any reason to doubt them on their phrasing he...

Here'a an anecdote from Thailand. When I was applying for my visa extension, immigration came to our home to do some checks. They took a look at me, a...
May 18, 2018 at 17:11
Yes, and that's backed up by the evidence. I was hoping for some kind of meaningful debate from those who think that's not true but it never materiali...

Don't know why Angela Merkel getting married should result in free muffins for Brits, but whatever.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Starbucks thing myself. Can't find any witnesses who said the men did anything wrong, and one witness (who also took...

You're not missing my point. You might have missed this though:

May 18, 2018 at 15:11
I agree with this part. The over-arching problem is inequality. But that's getting worse not better, so I'm not as optimistic as you are about the sit...
May 18, 2018 at 15:10
But the evidence, which I provided, in the form of data from studies by some of your top institutions suggest there is. I have yet to see any evidence...
May 18, 2018 at 15:05
Absolutely.
May 18, 2018 at 15:01
How dare you! I can barely lift a pencil.
May 18, 2018 at 14:38
Well, I didn't fully agree with @"T Clark"'s estimation of the situation. I said I thought it was overstated. I thought he was misinterpreted though a...

Ok, all's I say is that in my like/dislike scorebook, folks don't get extra points for being the same colour as me. And the idea that they should is w...

Alrightee.
May 18, 2018 at 08:18
@"ArguingWAristotleTiff" Just to relate this to what @"Hanover" was saying. I would argue that his concept of affinity (liking more) and @"T Clark"'s ...

I'm on mobile now BTW. Write more later.

(The prejudice is an irrational attitude that creates a preference that leads to a choice (action). The corollary in action is "discrimination".)
May 18, 2018 at 00:50
Off the top of my head, a prejudice predefines a preference about other people in an irrational way.

Same here. Kinds get kind of irrelevant. And as long as no priests arrive to fuck things up, we're good.

May 17, 2018 at 16:12
The whole basis of liking more or less or disliking seems wrong though when it's about race. Isn't that the more important point than the level of lik...
May 17, 2018 at 16:04
If you mean to extend that to white vs black people then you are saying you trust, like and respect white people more than black people. I'm not tryin...
