Merlin Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 Check out the bestgore website at your own risk. I'd like for you tot tell me how I'm a hypocrite. hyp·o·crite noun \ˈhi-pə-ˌkrit\ Definition of HYPOCRITE 1: a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion 2: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrite Quote
Sleipnir Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) I'd like for you tot tell me how I'm a hypocrite. Just be careful because painting on group of people as only being one way is a terrible stereotype that we mustn't let continue. Let's start by being honest and truthful. Translation: We shouldn't judge an entire group of people based on the action of few. Muslims are the ones have been beheading people lately. Translation: Muslims are beheading people lately. I don't want to be beheaded because some people were too afraid to tell the truth. Spooky. Translation: A Muslim is gonna behead me.

Merlin Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 Translation: We shouldn't judge an entire group of people based on the action of few.Yes, I agree with you here on this. Translation: Muslims are beheading people lately.Translation: A Muslim is gonna behead me. I find that Muslims are more likely to behead someone then other cultures would be. Saudi Arabia beheads people as a form of Capital Punishment. many people were beheaded by Muslims in Iraq in 2004 those beheadings were video taped. Yes, those Muslims were Islamic terrorists but Muslims none the less. Not all Muslims are Islamic terrorists, you're trying to claim that I said the opposite which I never did. Society is having problems with fanatical Muslims right now which is why I am afraid that they may try to behead me due to me being disabled. They may see me as an easy target, a weak target. I see them when the music plays at the mosque, the women have only eyes showing and I'm sorry but it's scary to me. They walk behind the men and don't speak, it's really scary for me. Quote

The French beheaded people into the 70s, and they’re predominantly Catholics……..The Americans still execute people as a form of punishment and they‘re namely Christian……..Having your head cut-off makes one just as dead as getting a needle, poison gas, electrocution or their neck broke via the noose…..

Show me footage of western Christians routinely beheading people in present day and you may have a case. I can provide videos of Muslims beheading people in present times. If American Christians are kidnapping people and beheading them then lets talk about it.Why are so many people here down playing the fact that Muslims are beheading people? I don't understand why so many here are continually down playing the Islamic terror acts and all sorts of unacceptable things. Things that we find unacceptable in our present society. I am afraid everyday when I hear the music playing at the mosque. A chill runs down my spine and I close all my curtains and only peak out. Sometimes the men look at me and speak in another language about me and it's scary. I don't want to be a victim. Quote

As was said before, your stance sounds hypocritical and/or intentionally attempting to “troll”…….A lot like this other poster that was recently banned called Mr Canada Quote

So you think that 150 million Muslims are "nutty" as you put it. I'd have to check it out but 150 million fanatical Muslims sounds like a serious problem. Quote
cybercoma Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 There is also a Hindu component. Nobody is ignoring anything, Merlin, it's just that so few provide any evidence. Mr. Canada was the same way - you would have to drag it out of him. I have asked you repeatedly to provide links: thank you for doing so and please continue. There's also a traditional Canadian component when there's fathers that will kill their daughters and their boyfriends. It has happened. Quote
cybercoma Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 Racism is not only done by white people. Other races can be racist as well. Were you aware of this? A critical element of racism is to have systemic power to oppress. Only whites have that in North America. In other countries, racism can affect white people (ie, Japan), but not here. At least not by the definition of racism used by social researchers. Other races in North America can discriminate racially, but it's not the same thing as racism. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 This is not true, as "racism" redefined to include systemic power certainly exists in Mexico towards "whites" of certain ethnic descent and/or religion. Mexico is part of North America. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Other races in North America can discriminate racially, but it's not the same thing as racism. I'll go with either of these defintions. rac·ism/ˈrāˌsizəm/ Noun: The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as... Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief. When someone of one race is being discriminated against by someone of another, he doesn't run a quick check to see who is in the boardrooms and municipal offices and then think it's all ok, due to some misguided guilt others of his colour might have about past events. It brings us back to affirmative action. It might be trying to redress old wrongs, but it discriminates against an individual. Quote
wyly Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 I thought we were talking about the local Chinese food joint? actually they are both Japanese...now you could say they hire japanese kids to serve as they can communicate with the japanese sushi chefs but my daughter tells me she had a chinese/canadian friend hired as a severer and she certainly can't speak Japanese...and after working in canada for a few years the excuse that the chefs don't understand english would be difficult to believe and the staff is young which makes it even more unlikely they don't speak english...there is a third Japanese restaurant nearby which may be a family operated and I recall seeing a lone white kid being trained helping the chefs...

wyly Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Just out of curiosity are these franchises? Franchises can be like mom & pop shops. Someone puts their life savings into buying one and then employs their family, like they would in a mom & pop shop. they each have two locations whether they have more in other cities I don't know, they may be family owned but their size makes it impossible to be run by family alone....my in-laws ran a small mom and pop restaurant and with numerous kids it was still impossible to run without non family help, even though they objected to a white boy(me) in the family they still hired white help...

It has happened. What are traditional Canadians, and can you give some examples of fathers killing their daughters and boyfriends (boyfriends of the daughter presumably)? Quote

Other races in North America can discriminate racially, but it's not the same thing as racism. Vancouver will soon be less than 50% white. How long are you going to sing that song. You mean if an Asian person won't hire whites or blacks in Canada, that's not racism. When native people kick the shit out of a white kid, that's not racism, but the reverse is? Sounds pretty oppressive to me. Quote

When we were in a Japanese restaurant recently, I said domo oregato to the waitress and she looked at me blankly. My Japanese friend leaned in to tell me most Japanese restaurants are run by non-Japanese. IMO, if you speak English, you should be eligible for a job in Canada. The employer and employees should speak enough English to function. Edited November 17, 2012 by Canuckistani Quote
