My Thing (race related)

[James Blunt]

what is your point?

Religions are ridiculous and reserved for those not smart enough to have their own philosophy. Aside rom that i take every jab at religion I can

Fail.

Lemme guess, your girlfriend cheated on you with a Muslim?

"yes, but the majority of them....."

6 billion people on the planet but folks can proudly claim to know, "the majority of them"  

Betty Frieden (an American feminist) claims that ALL men are potential rapists.  Assuming that Betty has personally met 10,000 men in her lifetime and that half of people on the planet are men, Betty is making these conclusions based on less that .00001% of information.

Assume that Hitler met 1000 Jews in his early formative years.  There are roughly 300 million Jewish peopke in the world.  So he based his conclusions of inferiority off of .0003% of information.

Roughly 1.4 Billion "African" people. How many have you personally met to make claims about the whole?

Roughly 1.4 Billion "Chinese" people. How many have you personally met to make claims about the whole?

Roughly 900 Million "Indian" people. How many have you personally met to make claims about the whole?

Roughly 325 Million "American" people. How many have you personally met to make claims about the whole?

Roughly 1.5 Billion "Muslim" people. How many have you personally met to make claims about the whole?

Roughly 250 Million "Eastern European" people. How many have you personally met to make claims about the whole?

do you understand yet?

 It is an unscientific mind that generalizes to such an extent, and a particulary weak one that infuses that generalization with as an amorphic quality as 'hate'.

Change your language and you change your life.  Use 'seems to me' instead of 'is' when describing your world.  For example,
1. 'Blacks seem to me to be inferior' versus 'Blacks are inferior'.
2. 'Jews seem to me to control everything' versus 'Jews control everything'.
3. 'Women seem like sluts to me' versus 'Women are sluts'.
3. 'Terrorists hate our freedoms' versus 'Terrorists seem to hate our freedoms to me'
4. 'Jesus is the truth' versus 'Jesus seems to be the truth to me'
5. 'Liberals are communists' versus 'Liberals seem like communists to me'
6. 'The fetus is a baby' versus 'The fetus seems lke a baby to me'
7. Insert your own predjudice here____________________ ____________

It's difficult for humans to talk in abstractions.  Our central nervous systems seem to "need" to encode a static based reality where we can say this 'is' or 'isnt'.  The nature of our universe appears to be quite different though.  We appear to be in constant change or flux even on a sub-atomic level.  To say something 'is' or 'isn't' appears relative only to the known information at the time.

be smarter than this men...and remember that reality to start with is constantly perceived through your optic nerves 'upside down'...it's our brains that then re-configure the image!

[tbombz]

religion is ridiculous? WELL,

 does every religion have some 'members' that are hypocrits and do not follow the moral guidelines? yes

 does every religion seem to have some kind of flaw in its description of the nature of reality? yes.. to a certain extent.  

does every religion seem to have at leats one or two 'moral guidelines' that dont have any logical explanation behind why you should follow it/them? seems like it


however, the idea of religion, a group of people gathering to worship God and morality, that is not ridiculous at all.


and for the most, every religion is founded on the same principle: one god, love your neighbor.



i think you frustration with religion stems from the history of religion on this planet and the inability of any religion to set up a moral system free of error and an accurate description of reality to go along with it.


however.. you have to understand that the infinite can not be accurately put into finite terms, and recognizing this shoudl allow you to realize.. the impossibility of religion to express the nature of God.  which i think is what your looking for, maybe..

Very good post.
Though... I personally interviewed around 600 million muslims - so my assumptions are more scientific than any paper ever written 

[James Blunt]

coming from a man who spends his time high on drugs

your arrogance amuses me

Seems like I offended you and I really didn't mean to. Sometimes I speak my mind a little too much and offend people but. I just see the world for what it is. I'd love for all that christian jazz to be true (love your neighbor etc etc)but from what I see it's ridiculous. I'm sure there is a god out there but it's certainly not anything that would affiliate itself with the joke that is christianity.  You call me arrogant but you believe that this god we thought up is the one who runs all in the universe. That seems a bit more arrogant than me. To think we can even understand a god to me is stupid. If there is anything that put all this together on such a complex level I highly doubt we can even understand it. to think we know it all (when the absolute fact is no one does) is a lot more arrogant than my takign a jab or two at some silly religion used to control people just like you.


BTW I'd rather die than quit smoking weed. It takes away the stress I feel when I think of how ugly humanity is. Funny how you try to make it sound like my marijuana use makes me some kind of scummy person.

there s one problem with budhha's teaching. Well, two in fact.

When people want to kill you, buddhism is useless. Too bad in real life some people sometimes want to kill you. Maybe it didnt happen to that guy who was worshiped in some part of the world, but everywhere else people tend to want to kill you wether you like it or not.

Buddhists got genocided in tibet, the dalai lama stated that he regrets he didnt have an army, tibetans think the dalai lama abandonned em. Nobody in the world cares about buddhism but rich white people who think it's trendy but have no idea how things are working out there for people with less education and money than them. Nobody moved a finger to help tibet cause nobody took em seriously. Basically buddhism doenst help surviving. Lot of good stuff in it, but the same can be found in most other religions or psychology.

Thats why there are Shao Lin Buddhist Monks...man, can they fight.

You are correct, though.

James,

don't give up on higher ideals like loving others and doing the right thing. the world is a crummy place because people don't act on these principles. if everyone followed the tenants of christianity (and some other religions) instead of twisting them to justify their own poor behaviour, the world would be a better place. you can't lament over other people not treating others with respect and kindness if you're not willing to make the commitment yourself. it has to start with each individual.

I sympathize with your struggle and urge you not to lose hope. despite your occasional dabble in narcotics I truly don't think less of you or that you are a bad person. I admit I used the stygma normally associated with these activities to sting your credibility and thus erode your argument. I believe in the pursuit of truth and doing the right thing. I imagine you believe in something similar. as for your problems, maybe drugs aren't the best way to deal with them. but that's for you to decide. again, I wish you the best

Must you smell every possible shitpile to conclude shitpile's stink?

[Stark]

To answer this question we must have a look at what the definition of racisms is:
I copy pasted text from Wikipedia which defines racism as:
Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination.

Now have a look at yourself, can you truly say you are NOT racist?
I bet you can’t.
Everybody is racist to some extent, and you know something? It is okay.
Don’t buy into the bullshit the tree-hugging hippies and political correct mad liberals and conservatives like to preach, we are ALL racists to some degree.
And I have a strong suspicion we always were racist, the only difference is, in today’s times it is not social acceptable to not like a specific “race” or even
Harbour the slightest suspicion about a specific race.

I can certainly say that every time I see a bad driver on Irish roads it happens to be a Nigerian driver, I have asked around and others have said the same thing.
Which leads me to believe that ALL Nigerians are bad drivers – and I know that this assumption is completely illogical, I know that somewhere out there HAS to
Be a sane and normal driving Nigerian – I certainly haven’t found him/her yet but I given the fact that we have around a couple of thousand Nigerians living in this country
Chances are slim that every one of them cannot drive.
On the other hand I have asked an Australian friend who has no problem with Nigerian drivers in his country but believes that Asian drivers are the worse.
Have I ever called somebody the N word – never to their face but in the safety of my car while passing another Nigerian who is obviously out to kill me and my
Family many times, it rolls of your lips so easy and you are not fully aware what you say at the present time, only later you surprise yourself and think: God damn that was racist.
But how do I know they are Nigerians? They don't have the Nigerian sticker flag on their car, nor do they look much different to many other african immigrants we have in Ireland.

I am a firm believer that you should always be true to yourself, does it make sense to lie to yourself and say to yourself: I LOVE Nigerians and I think they are fantastic
Drivers? Absolutely not.
But what you should always do is to reason with yourself, don't just buy into stuff but challenge your believes and argue with yourself.
