My God...
Do you all know what the definition of "if" is?
for most people, that amount of pwnage would be too much to handle.bumpity bump
somehow, I think it won't be a big deal in Wild Cobra's universe........err space.

Really???
Absolutely.Really???
I said "If...."
Now if you want to misconstrue my intent, that's either your stupidity, or you letting your hatred of me getting the better of you.

You said "if he was a product of affirmative action". I don't know that's there's any possible misrepresentation there. Heck, I'll say it's clear as a day.
So...
How does "if he was a product of affirmative action" the same as saying "Like black surgeons who obviously can only make it that far due to affirmative action?"
Please show me where I said blacks cannot make such strides in life without affirmative action.
I will agree I hyped that one a bit.
Well, are you implying all educated blacks are a product of affirmative action? I hope not. I never would.
How would you know who is or isn't a product of affirmative action. I thought "smart people avoid black surgeons".
Why does it matter if somebody is a product of affirmative action?
I never claimed to know how.
If you are looking for quality, someone who is there because of a quota system rather than by merit is probably not as good of quality.
Why isn't this obvious to you?
there was a lame dimm-o-crap retort a few posts after that that made the RAM story even betterI love this thread. I actually had forgotten that Viva stuck RAM in a motherboard backwards. How in the man?!?
as for the saga, I don't at all mean to defend WC, but I have a different understanding of prejudice. Recognizing a pattern and using it to interpret a situation is a natural, rational act. The problem comes in where and how people look for patterns, and on top of that there are people dedicated to controlling this process for their benefit. WC made a pathetic generalization but I dont think its healthy or plausible to be "free of prejudice". Certainly its a process that should be discussed and analysed and constantly reassessed, so that they may be refined- there is no genetic or even cultural argument to suggest that a black surgeons are inferior to white ones, in fact there are important contributions to modern medicine from blacks (as well as every other race or culture, just as from 1st and 3rd world countries). But there are other sorts of generalizations and prejudices that are necessary and useful- for an easy example, a mistrust of absolute power. evolve WC, evolve.
ps: how do you feel about black soldiers WC, can you trust the nation and your entire family's well being to black soldiers and generals?
They have to go through the career just like everybody else. They get the same exact quality of education.
I mean, the 'merit' in the context you bring this about could be connected to a plethora of different reasons that might have nothing to do with the inherent quality/capability of the individual. IE: Socioeconomic differences such as a poorer kid that had to work to pay for his education vs a kid that could spend more time studying because daddy took care of the bills.
Where's the 'merit' in that? It's not inconceivable that the working kid could be as good or even better student if he would have had the ability to devote all his time to studying.
It's clear as a day to me why there's equal opportunity programs like affirmative action. In the real world (not the vacuum you pretend we live on), they make a lot of sense.
IMHO Senators and Congressmen are far more qualified than governors. However, Obama was a junior senator. Had it been his 2nd term, at least, I would have been FAR more comfortable with him, as I believe that is the best experience you can get, other than perhaps being a VP or ambassador...
Sorry the Slovenian proxy server has been down for the last two days so I couldn't post sooner.
But I want to say one thing to the ST people. I want you to listen to me, I'm going to say this again. I did not post an opinion under that user name...
Chumpdumper.
I never told anybody to lie. Not a single time. Never. These allegation are false. And I need to go back to work for Kori.
?? Must have missed something.
I thought something was wrong when you didn't opine on Mladic's arrest.
I've been accused of a lot of things in my life, but being Slovenian?
What's next?
Greek?
Did that disproportionately black cabinet ever come to fruition?
WC is pretty damn racist.
The first is a compliment, the second clearly an insult.
I'm pretty sure the word "Slovenia" is one of the worst profanities in the galaxy.
or maybe that was "Belgium", I can't remember...
(reference Douglas Adams' wonderful books)
Wild Cobra Doctorine: Black Until Proven Intelligent
You guys have fun continuing this thread. Keep making yourselves look like fools. I see the public education system has instilled incorrect meanings of racism. I cannot battle that. It just reinforces my words that the schools are failing the USA.
Let's say I was quan atively easing it in.
The continual pounding you give the English language is ample proof of that.
We can only hope that one day our schools are capable of providing the quality of education that guides it's graduates towards avoiding black doctors like most smart people do...............
