So, to avoid any confusion in anyone's mind in the future, kindly clarify the difference between positive discrimination and positive action.No, you said very clearly you supported positive discrimination, not positive action. Now you are backpedalling since you've discovered the equality brigade have dropped positive discrimination.
It's Easter so apart from a hectic day yesterday, and another few in the next few days, socialising, I'm not doing my usual hobby in the evenings for a few days.I don't know where you get the time and energy. I'm usually kicked-back watching telly now, or in a book, havin' a tipple. (I just know someone's gunna throw that in my face one day)...
Spot on, joe. None of my friends or neighbours want to shoot me. The chasse doesn't start until September.No friends and neighbours that would like to shoot him.
I think I'll join you. I had a skinful last night, but I fancy a glass of red, or two, or three, or more.....Ah, punctuation and word play. Now there's something only the English language can do well'ish.
Eats shoots and leaves...
I wasn't putting words in your mouth but the inference was/is that if we're not all equal then, de facto, does that not mean one is inferior and therefore the other superior? What and how do you mean by "not equal"? I'm just asking; I may or may not agree with you if I understand...I'mI see racism in discussions like these. If I stated that most kiddie fiddlers are white males I'd be stating a fact and no one would complain that I'm racist. If someone states another statistic involving blacks in not such a good light the do gooders get a right huff on and call you racist. Why??
All races have their faults.
All races have their good points.
Unfortunately, for some reason it is not acceptable to point some of these out. There are those who would have us believe that we are all the same. A ridiculous suggestion.
This is why I am always careful to explain my belief that we should all have equal opportunities, rather than to suggest we are all equal. We are not and never will be: we are all different.
Okay with that to a point JBR. But then you get into the realms of feeling superior over someone with a disability or gender difference. And before you know it, we're back in the dark ages.
Did the word 'superior' cross my lips?
I said 'different' and different races are different in some ways. An example was already pointed out by someone earlier: that the best runners are black men. Surely, doesn't that makes them superior to other races?
A preponderance of scottish people perhaps?Looking back in history, the most innovative inventors have been white men (very often British, in fact) so in that respect they are superior to other races.
