    So if a woman gets attacked by three men, you would stand back, nodding your head approvingly, satisfied that it'll be "a good learning experience" for her?

        Do I? I assumed you meant what you said, which was that you don't believe in helping others.

          At least I'm man enough to stand behind my "preconceived notions" instead of trying to be a panty-waist yes-man who's afraid of offending someone simply because I don't agree with them. When given the choice between being a "world citizen" or an "individual", I'll pick "individual" every time. If that offends anyone, well then f*ck 'em.

          It's like saying "I know I'm a smoker, but I'm man enough to stand behind my smoking".

            Actually yes it is relevant, using a slang term vs the proper term is entirely more racist.

              Lack of precision in speech is exactly why we (the world) have the problems we do. Nobody knows what the other is saying because everyone that's talking isn't being precise. Besides, programmers, by their very nature, are pedantic.

              Thats is overly simplistic in the extreme. As always the worlds problems are driven by greed for wealth and power. As for race, lets have a closer look at the word and see if their is any historical evidence to back up your asertion that it only applies in the biological sense to the three 'races' of man, mongol, caucasian and negro. ""people of common descent," c.1500, from M.Fr. razza "race, breed, lineage," possibly from It. razza, of unknown origin (cf. Sp., Port. raza). Original senses in English included "wines with characteristic flavor" (1520), "group of people with common occupation" (c.1500), and "generation" (c.1560). Meaning "tribe, nation, or people regarded as of common stock" is from c.1600. Modern meaning of "one of the great divisions of mankind based on physical peculiarities" is from 1774 (though even among anthropologists there never has been an accepted classification of these)." So, it seems 'race' can equally be applied to muslems as to any group of people showing common characteristics. Argued and lost I am afraid Jon.:)

                Nooooo. "Stupid" would be calling it "racist", but we've already gone over that.

                  Anything spiced and grilled from those parts of the world tends to be fantastic. Then you have curries from Indonesia, north African dishes, the list goes on. My MIL is a Turkish Jew and possibly the world's best cook

                  Quite. US food really is at the bottom of the evoloutionary ladder, somewhere akin to sub saharan african cuisine. :)

                    So let's just ignore it? You of all people should understand that ignoring something doesn't make it go away.
