Wasn't the white guy like 14% black though?
Yes I laughed!

If you preach equality and diversity you must respect all opinions whether they agree with your ideals or not.
The main point on this is, yes - everybody has a right to a belief.If you really believe everyone has a right to their beliefs, whether it be religious or what colour of skin people prefer, and as long as they are not dealing out harmful crap then you must treat them all equally...
Define exactly what you mean by social Marxism then give a detailed critique of it please.INB4 social Marxism, oh wait..
A white village already exists, Midsommer. Although despite being entirely white and affluent, it has the highest murder rate in the world.
Why would you need me to define it for you, you are living it.Define exactly what you mean by social Marxism then give a detailed critique of it please.
INB4 no reply.
Well, I wasn't hoping for a reply....Why would you need me to define it for you, you are living it.
Was that double negative intentional?, changes the meaning somewhat.We are not equal, we don't not deserve to be treated equally because of the colour of our skin or our financial background.
So, taking into account all the problems with the concept of government the one which really grinds your gears is being forced to be fair to people who happen to not be white?.Stop supporting a system which has a gun to my head. If I refuse to contribute to this system I go to prison, you're sick mate.
I'll ignore your first part where you try to lower my position by suggesting that poor grammar takes away from what I stated.Well, I wasn't hoping for a reply....

Could you elaborate on the wording of this statement (assuming the double negatives is just poor grammar).
we don't not deserve to be treated equally because of the colour of our skin or our financial background
Are you saying that person A & B (both identical apart from skin colour) do not deserve equal treatment?.
Or are you saying that two people - one black & one white, but with different abilities/behavioural characteristics - should not be treated the same (due to race, over-riding ability, not that this happens mind)?.

Your priorities are all wrong if it is, if it isn't - then those are arguments against government - not equality as a principle for a civilised society.
In that case the difference in grammar changes completely what you stated (So it was worth verifying).I'll ignore your first part where you try to lower my position by suggesting that poor grammar takes away from what I stated.
That is equality, judging people by their actions - not by some arbitrary factor (such as skin colour).I equally treat everyone unequally and judge them by their virtue. .
As statistics is my field, I thought I thought I'd drop this in.It is sick that I should face prison instead of supporting those who wish to harm me, they could be black, they could be white, they could be a rainbow colour. Crime statistics would give a good indication who would.
So how would a civilised society look to you.Supporting those people (by force) is a sign of an uncivilised society.
My point is:
If you preach equality and diversity you must respect all opinions whether they agree with your ideals or not.
Then you are saying one is not allowed to decide who goes on their land and who doesn't?
Another great GSWAudio thread.
Would not read again.

Equality doesn't mean treating everybody the same - or ignoring the actions of people who do harmful things (which you seem to be implying it does).

So how would a civilised society look to you.
incidentally you also didn't answer either of my questions.
No, because they are not equal. You can't say they are equal apart from x - because you are making a clause of inequality in you statement of equality.Are you saying that person A & B (both identical apart from skin colour) do not deserve equal treatment?.
No, they should not be treated the same. If one of those people causes harm to me I am not going to treat them the same as a person who would not.Or are you saying that two people - one black & one white, but with different abilities/behavioural characteristics - should not be treated the same (due to race, over-riding ability, not that this happens mind)?.
Not really, I don't presume to know what you mean.That's not why you did it though, you wanted to warm up with some mud slinging, it's was extremely obvious what I was stating from the flow of the sentence.
I didn't ask if they were the same, I asked if they are deserving of equal treatment.No, because they are not equal. You can't say they are equal apart from x - because you are making a clause of inequality in you statement of equality.
