well played. that is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Acknowledging racism is something people need to do, regardless of if it's directly in your face or not. the person does sound racist; at the very least, they OBVIOUSLY hate liberals. they sound like they are trying to defend Christians and Conservatives--I thought both of those groups were supposed to be pious and God fearing people? very ironic. my favorite part of this so-called argument :"modern day campuses are hotbeds of speech codes and intolerance not towards minorities but for Christians, Catholics, conservatives etc. " WHAT?! WHAT?! I've studied at my share of schools and I have actually been surprised to see the level of blatent racism and hatred still around and the ONLY time I've ever heard any ill words spoken against Christians, Catholics, or conservatives is when they act insane and extreme or when they run around trying to convert everyone else. oh and when they judge other people relentlessly, like the original poster probably does. Conservative, Liberal--honestly, who cares? in the broader scope of things, does the labeling of your beliefs really matter? I know this is gonna sound like "liberal BS!!!" [lol] but, instead of focusing on trying to seperate ourselves, trying to label one another, and being picky over who we care about because they don't agree with everyone single one of our oblivious ideas, we should focus on working together as human beings! if we all put our minds together, if we actually tried to work together and understand each other and help each other, our world would probably be a much happier place. instead we have people worrying about calling themselves liberal or conservative, and sticking to each one of those parties boxed in ideas. and we have people hating each other over their "race" when in actuality, "race" isn't even a biological reality. there is no such thing as race; the only reason we have different colored skin, is because of where our ancestors lived--more sun, darker skin, less sun, lighter skin--that's it, no major differences between people with different skin color. but people get killed over crap like that. there's just so many things that people waste their time hating each other for, and putting each other down for. its pathetic--we're supposed to be reasonable, logical beings, capable of all kinds of amazing feats, but we act like monkeys throwing s**t at each other. its just crazy--if people [like the original poster] devoted as much time and energy into caring and helping one another as they put into hating and putting each other down, we would live in *beep* Utopia. call me crazy, but I'd rather love my fellow human being then put them down or disparage them in any way because of their ideas, their culture, skin color, what's between their legs or who they want to bone in their own time. hating makes you ugly, even if you hate and you think you're on the right side; especially for someone who's supposed to value God or any type of spirituality, cause it goes against the very fundamentals of most, if not all spirituality teachings. jeez just be nice, and maybe, just take a look in the mirror and try to realize that what you believe in isn't the ONLY right thing in the entire world because there's many "right" ways to go about living life; you can't deny someone just because their way is not your way.
