That's racist.....every progressive feminist knows that Evil White Males are to blame for everything.

Words like racist and xenophobic have absolutely no effect on me....I'm not some gawker hipster who can easily be shamed into conformity with white guilt. The fact is, America was a country built by white people, for people, and whether you think that's acceptable or not is irrelevant.

Of course. America was built by white people, for white people. The idea that "America is for everyone" is ahistorical and a relatively recent invention.

Until the Jews support gay marriage and open borders in Israel, the rest of us will just have to assume that they're only "open-minded", ie. promoting destructive social policies, in gentile countries.

Always seemed to me like Ayn Randism with a pseudo-mystical twist.

In ordinary, polite conversation, I've never felt the need to say that. It should go without saying, to be honest. Still, if you're visible minority - even if you're born here - you have to expect people to ask where you're from. And if they play those passive-aggressive games where they say, "Oh, I'm from Seattle",…

They might be people, but this is our country, so they've got no right to be so hostile over innocent questions. They can take their attitude and go home. I get asked the same thing all the time when I go to other countries and it's never bothered me; people are just naturally curious. If there are some people of…

Yes, it's safe to ask a white person because they tend not to have a chip on their shoulder. You shouldn't allow a person of color to intimidate you though. Who are they anyway?

"can't say I didn't see this coming or even feel bad for the city. This is the end-result of the proverbial "putting all your eggs into one basket", aka the auto industry. "

Except there was no reason for Zimmerman to ever be charged with murder, because it was a clear cut case of justified killing in self-defense. The lynch mob that was stirred up by the manufactured outrage from the media, and race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, simply wanted blood. Someone had killed a…

It wasn't wrong, Zimmerman had every right to shoot him in self-defense.

I wish the same people who protest about Christmas trees in public protested about that huge, tacky Menorah that gets put on the White House lawn every Hannukah.

It's not the same....Santa Claus has specific attributes which can be tested, although I'm not aware of any similar tests that can be done on god, if we're talking about god in general terms and not as described in Judaism or Christianity, or something.

Absolutely. I've no problem with people who simply don't believe...but when anyone asserts with total certainty that there is no god, that's a different matter.

Well, fair enough. "I don't believe in god" is more honest than categorically saying "There is no god".

Who/what did create people then?

Not so much making linguistic leaps are just making stuff up. Everyone knows the Tooth Fairy physically removes the tooth. Is there a similar test you could do for god though, to make belief in god comparable to belief in the Tooth Fairy? Not that I'm aware of.

I'm not Christian, and I won't bicker about particular creeds or names for god. I'll discuss the god who may or may not have created the universe and everything in it, and leave it at that.

It's not really a science issue, though. Science can only test and measure what exists within the confines of the physical universe. If we're saying that god created the physical universe or exists outside of it, there's no known way to detect it, so there's not much point arguing about it.

When you lose a tooth, you could put it under your pillow. Then you could set up a video camera with night vision, motion detectors....everything....and then point it in the direction of your pillow. If your tooth is still there the next morning, either the Tooth Fairy is camera shy, or she probably doesn't exist. If…
