I thought your problem was with a religion/culture, not a race (they're not the same thing.) Not all Arabs are Muslim and not all Muslims are Arab.

Bicycle technology is really improving lately.
No, Islam isn't a race.I guess I am a racist.
...I don't like either.
You'd be an "Islamophobe" in popular parlance.

Well I heard something about it, and I'm open to correction. Maybe it was crude oil?

I'm probably both in retrospect. Maybe some day I can change my opinion, but I've seen too many things I don't like coming from the Middle East.

You do realize that "socialism" has a very specific definition, right? It makes those who misuse the term as a slur to refer to anything they don't like look lazy and uneducated.

The US buys very little oil from the Gulf states... The key to oil is to find the sweet spot which is around $70 a barrel so the oil producers can stay in business.

Profit margins in the industry have been at 6-7% for decades.

I always loved living there.
Propane is more difficult to fuel up.
I know, having operated propane powered forklifts, & using pumps to fill tanks.
Electric vehicles are often fueled by coal or nuclear power...things despised these days.

So you believe that those of Arabic decent are genetically dispositioned toward bad behavior regardless of their religious and cultural upbringing? I wonder how our Arab friends here at RF feel about that.I guess I am a racist.

I don't believe the statistics. I know longshoremen too, who swear to God that their entire workshift consists of unloading barges. They say nothing leaves - things only come in.
...But the "statistics" paint another story.
