    Leaving the site.

    Hey there. For any who might care, I want to take this opportunity to announce that I have decided, for multivarious reasons, to leave, and cease all participation in, Religious Forums. Let’s just say that certain personally undesirable realities about the site and its membership which are not...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Funny, I don’t remember accusing anybody in particular of anything. Care to share the quote?

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    There is something to be said for a population advantage in a time of war.

    The witchhunt continues...

    Oh, it’s sarcastic, but very true as well. I’m 6’3” and around 240-245. I don’t think the butchy ***** would come at me with anything short of a shotgun, but if she did **** around, she sure as hell would find out.

    No ****…and who does that? I can tell you that I always get along with manly men, regardless of such as you mention. Probably why I don’t get along with you.

    The witchhunt continues...

    If she had the “balls” to do that after seeing me, she would be quickly reminded that she is a woman, and not a dude.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    If you tell me that you never had a racist thought in your life, then I’ll tell you that you’re a liar. What makes someone a decent person is that he can recognize the poverty of such thoughts, and suppress them.

    You quite obviously don’t even understand what I said, so quiet down Fido!

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    You think that people fall into two categories of “racist” and “not racist”? That is incredibly naive, and shows an egregious lack of understanding about human nature. You think the human mind is that simple? Perhaps we should demote psychology from a social science to a branch of mythology, then.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    For a human being to be utterly free of the “-isms”, they would have to be infallible. Are you infallible? I am suggesting that you might be a bit deluded about this.

    I do, and for yourself and every other person, too.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    We all know that the concept of “race” is arbitrary and capricious, and that the only scientific thing that can be said about humans is that we are all members of the same species. Nevertheless, we have been given these arbitrary categories as a cultural inheritance, and so they inhabit our...

    Legislators are generally not part of the 1%…perhaps in Lords in your country.

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    …and my ex-wife of nine years is Jamaican, but I certainly produce the occasional racist thought, sexist thought (more common than racism with me, actually), etc. I just have a superego which bites it off before I act the fool. In as much as everybody is the center of their own subjective world...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Yes, but we’re not talking about racism, as every human is racist in some degree, we are talking about overt, racist aggression. Man, everyone is racist, sexist, etc. to the degree that they think (as everyone does) that they are the best of all people. All these “-isms” are ultimately based in...

    A lonely nation: Has the notion of the ‘American way’ promoted isolation across history?

    Beyond that, I experience a visceral reaction against the way that modern Americans seem to live. For instance, nobody eats “at table” (as a family…) in the home anymore; almost everybody I know eats on the goddamn sofa in front of the TV. Everything about the way we live seems wrong to me, as...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    Yes, I obviously know that, not yet having had a lobotomy, and more to the point, your response doesn’t answer my question. In the U.S., it is generally low-income disaffected “white” (and “white Hispanic”) folks, not necessarily southerners, who lean upon racism as an emotional crutch. There...

    Leaving the EU has been a disaster for the UK

    So, what demographic in the U.K. is evidencing such xenophobic ideas? Sort of, “lower classes”? Cockneys and such? The “punk rocker” crowd? I honestly have a bit of a hard time picturing…forming a mental image of a “proper Englishman” acting or speaking like a redneck.

    A lonely nation: Has the notion of the ‘American way’ promoted isolation across history?

    I would think this evident enough to require no empirical evidence. I have grave misgivings about several aspects of modern American culture, and it’s historical drift. There are more important aspects of culture than being flush with money, which the U.S. definitely is. Most particularly, the...
