Im thinking a three way deathmatch between "extremist muslims" the "christian right" and and the "zionist front!" The whole while motherfuckers in the white house, and parliment hill are going to be laughing with there GE, ENRON, EXXON-MOBIL, CITIBANK, cronies all the way to the bank, only pausing to walk around the massive pile of dead "pagans" ready to fuel the most massive corrupt religo-fanatic marshmellow roast since nuclear testing in siberia way back when! This time it will probably be the likes of donal rumspfield or Mr Zaraquia quoting the Baghvad Ghita and the ol "I AM BECOME DEATH!" shit, now im gonna have some choice nightmares 2nite! |

Or maybe it's these secular notions in American society that feeds the movement. Studies show that the majority of religious conservatives in America believe salvation should come from within on an individual level. It is these religious-right leaders who espouse these religious ideals and use it as their platform to wage what they have coined as a "culture war." The more the religious individuals believe they are being attacked in the educational system(evolution) and other areas, the more they are willing to vote these people into power. You seen the argument for intelligent design? It's redicolous.

fable, I'm not trying to insult you at all man. The Spike Lee comment was in reference to your apparently strong distaste for white people, and was more of a joke than anything, so I appologize if I have offended you at all.
I haven't been addressing your specific points because I don't disagree with them. I agree that people need to ask themselves why western culture has become so diseased, and everyone needs to arrive at some kind of conclusion pretty fucking soon. I can't really argue any of that, all I can do is comment on how I disagree with the way you present a lot of your points, and repeat how I think your views would be recieved in a much better way if you presented them with a little more tact. If you're looking for honest rebuttals to the points you made, you won't get them from me, because quite frankly I agree with you. |

EASY THERE BIG GUY!!!! ID RATHER HAVE YOUR INSULTS THAN YOUR MISGIVINGS ABOUT WHO I LIKE OR WHO I DONT!!!! IF THIS IS WHAT YOU THOUGHT I WAS SAYING THEN PERHAPS I NEED TO CLARIFY THINGS - THERE IS NOT EVEN A SHRED OF TRUTH TO THE COMMENT, RATHER I HAVE A STRONG DISTASTE FOR RACISM AND OR PEOPLE WHO IGNORE THE FACT THAT IT EXISTS WITHOUT TAKING IN CONSIDERATION THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES OR THERE LACK OF! I appreciate you contributing, but i needed to check that bullshit comment before it got going! But really, how do you get that from what im saying? Realistically what i was TRYING to communicate was a belief that by and large many people may believe things are not as serious as they really are for the simple and obvious reality that they are not the targets of it as often or as serious. With saying this, it has been pointed out that there are still other serious forms of prejudice such as sexism and archaic, backwards views on gender roles based on some sort of warped orthodox religious beliefs, of which i completely am aware of, and apologise if i seemed like i was putting these issues on the back burner. A large portion of my own socio-political activist group are young women, and you better believe that i get checked on my own behaviours at times!!! I have a penchance for a very dirty vulgar way of "ghetto" speak and in admitting to such lightly, im further advancing stereotypes and being prejudicial. I practically get a kick to the junk if i use the word "bitch!" Once i was doing a lot of different events at our anual student week against war and occupation drive, (the acronym was SWAWO) and i mentioned i was the "slut of swawo" and man, did i ever get the gears, and this was just innocent to me, but these words are representative of a language, and the language is representative of an often unchecked form of blatant oppression AND suppression of womens rights and roles!!! Sometimes i just pretend if my moms around, becuase holy fuck, if i talked like that around my ma, id get the fucking backhand that would rattle my teeth! And my moms pushing 60, and im twice her size! You dont fuck around with immigrant moms who raise three kids from hell, went to university in the midst of massive poverty and racism and come out on top without having some strong ideals and values!!!! Shit, my mouth hurts thinking about it!! Womens rights, BIG TIME issue, and the fact that more often then not, many suburban, well to do, feminist groups were reactionary at best and completely detremental to the real womens movements/feminist groups across the globe! And some of these backwards movements were even racist!! I once had a TEACHER GO OFF ON ME, because i was protesting AGAINST the war in Afghanistan, and pointed at me and said "if it was up to YOU GUYS all women would be wearing burkahs!" And believed that the "war on terror" was a legitimate war for womens and human rights! What does this mean, that we need to support the young fledgling feminist groups as well!!! Becasue many of the issues overlap. I tell you, especially all you women of ethnic background, or were immigrants at one time MUCH RESPECT! becasause sometime just being a women is fucking hard enough!! If i ever shit on this reality, come with the slap!! :) Last edited by fable; Dec 04, 05 at 07:48 AM. |

I do see your point. It just seemed like you were trying to use that point to discredit my honest observations. I know for a fact that the racism alot of white people face is minimal and rare( if they EVER have to face any). This was the point i was trying to make. Do i really have to explain HOW i know this? The fact that everyone from every race has issues of some sort does not make my point any less valid. This is directed at everyone What is troubling to me is that it seems alot of the people here seem to think I am attacking the white race or something ludicrous like that, this is not true. You guys are far too quick to jump on the defensive. I wish you all would at least take my views into cosideration, without jumping to the silly conclusion that you have to stick up for your white brothers/sisters. I mean what's you're argument. That white people DO have it as bad as say, first nations people with the racism thing? give me a fucking break! you know it is not true! The reality is, hardly anyone knows about their coulture, and hardly anyone cares. If really bad stuff wasn't still happening to minority groups in Canada, i would have nothing to talk about. No argument whatsoever. Sadly this is not the case. It is the fucking truth. You can sit there and play blind/deaf to it all you want , but its just the truth. |

I am not Canadian. Only natives are Canadian/American. All of us are Europeans. No matter how much you would like to be Canadian, you're not. There is no such thing. If I had been born in Africa, would I be an African ? No. Think. Last edited by esoter1c; Dec 04, 05 at 06:31 PM. |

I dont beleive Indegenous peoples are canadian either, once again this was a name that was appropriated from indegenous peoples in the course of their genocide, so i think if and when we get to the point, the name needs to go up in flames, along with the flag. |

It amuses me to hear white people getting offended at "white trash" because at its core the saying assumes that the average white people isn't trash... the whole distinction of a subgroup of white people being trash assumes that the rest aren't. That's got to the the least offensive racial slur ever.

OK, after being away for a couple of days and watching this thread grow it's actually turned out to be a pretty good debate (fairly respectable too which is rare for FnK).
I want to ask a couple of questions though. 1: Fable you throw your weight around like you yourself have been opressed. From what I can tell you grew up in the middle of white suburbia! I mean I may be off but for all the flogging you do have YOU been opressed or are you speaking for others? Just curious. 2: Now I'm totally playing devil's advocate here, keep that in mind. It's not necessarily how I think personally but I am curious as to what others might have to say about it. Fable you mentioned way back in the thread something about a bunch of chinese immigrants coming in here in containers and they weren't taken care of like they should have been. Why should all Canadians, regardless of race, who are legally settled here be financially burdened with taking care of illegal immigrants? What is it about our great country that has made us the humanitarians that have to be responsible for every other countries poor and unfortunate? I realize this comes off as heartless and I'm not saying this is my view, personally I have no problem helping people in unfortunate situations. While I may not be a crusader for the moral right I do my little bits when I can whether it be volunteering for certain things or donating when I have spare cash. I'm more so just curious as to what other people think. Why has Canada been saddled as the world rescuer? Last edited by Cdn_Brdr; Dec 05, 05 at 09:29 AM. |
