Dreamer of Dreams User ID: 38137469 United States11/28/2013 06:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've not got the right words to describe how infantile this appears to me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50390165 Same. They are seriously abusing the race card in every possible way. :racist5: Instead of empowering themselves, these students are content with just scraping by in life. WHy bother going to college? "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T. S. Eliot |

User ID: 31976657  Spain11/28/2013 06:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Racism is a difficult charge to disprove, which explains why it is such a popular accusation among leftists. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

When anyone is taught "things that FEEL good are good" they do not have to ever be told "things that FEEL bad are bad/evil wrong" because our brains do it for us. It is programming. Now you got kids growing up meeting a professor that doesn't put happy faces on their papers and is correcting them in their English and punctuation. It FEELS bad to them so like the programmed individuals that they are, they respond with the only conclusion that they can draw in their minds - you are a naughty, mean, baddie racist professor. Guys, understand this. When somebody says "X is" your brain also program's the inverse without them even saying it. |

That's why the elites want a mongrel world to rule over. The primitive races always long to go back to their original state. Even those which are educated in the Western way and apt in it, deep inside have a longing to destroy all its progress. Only the white races in their original form have in them the unquenchable aspiration to rule over nature. This is undeniable as for thousands of years before meeting each other the primitive races rejoiced in nature unmolested while the whites struggled with an unstoppable will to rule over it. The mix of these races creates an inner conflict which results in entropy. Mongrel peoples while in a majority state and unsupervised by white administration inevitably degenerate into chaos.

However with the right programming the primitive races and their mongrel derivations pose no threat to a well made control system and their elite creators. However what these elites don't take into consideration is that while these races won't give them as much competition for hegemony, they won't be able to maintain such a beautiful world for them to enjoy as they do now. I guess they're planning to remain in their own private countries and allow the mongrel slaves to keep their goods and services being produced.

The point is there are virtually an infinite number of ways to improve grammar. The more concepts or ideals communicated in writing the more improvements to grammar that potentially exist. Think of it as a limit. You can correct grammar to infinity but the message will never change. It's like precision. You can work to the one-millionth decimal place but is that level of precision really needed to get the job done? What's more important is the message (clear, concise and effective) and the logic behind it. I'm not saying grammar is not important, but there is a LIMIT that it is pointless exceeding. |

Just imagine language breaking down and civilization following suit. allow me to offer you a helping hand:victory: And another thing, anyone who eats meat etc. to deliberately make their poop brown [poop doesnot have to be brown nor black, and is a mean, nasty, racist act], must from now on eat collard greens to poop green poop, or they are being maliciously racist, and psychologically rubbing black’s face in it.
