SKARDAVNELNATE 08/01/21 1:20:29 PM #143:	wydrah posted... consider the ramifications of colonialism "exporting" European culture globally. Despite what happened centuries ago I think each country has developed on it's own since then and doesn't resemble European culture as it existed then or as it exists today. Making those ramifications a moot point. But since we're on the subject what about a modern day example? How do you feel about the US's relationship with Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam? Should the US cut ties with those regions and let them develop independently? ShinVegaI posted... All I know is Abraham Lincoln did NOT like black people - he simply used them to disrupt the souths economy and ability to wage war. Yet he is credited with ending slavery in the US. Despite his feelings on the matter he did good. Calling back to my early point on thought vs action. wydrah posted... I'm also continuing my practice of not reading past the first thing I decide to comment on in your posts. So it's not just me. Maybe you have a short attention span. Gaawa_chan posted... There is an exception to outlawing slavery still enshrined in the Constitution "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted" Community service is a bs sentence. I agree the US should do away with that. Gaawa_chan posted... What originally defined a woman vs a man? We usually use superficial sex characteristics to do that, but these are nebulous Originally, it was determined by where a person's reproductive organs were located. There's nothing superficial or nebulous about that. It was purely utilitarian in regard to the method for passing on of genes. The modern day definition is far more nebulous. Gaawa_chan posted... now imagine you have a bunch of people screaming about how Phylogenetic Taxonomy is a communist plot that is changing the meaning of the word "mammal." That is what you sound like to us. :-/ This is a fair point on perspective and I think it relates to something that was said earlier. "It's like you're debating Christian theology without having read the Bible simply because you're against religion." I can say the crusades were bad without thinking it was an accurate reflection of the message in the Bible. I can criticize certain practices within Islam without condemning the Quran. I can perceive anti-racism as a detrimental social movement without dismissing Critical Race Theory as baseless. I think we need to have the ability to differentiate between an ideology and the people who profess to follow it. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD.
