    Basically what you are saying here is that it's more important to give a good speech than it is to be qualified for the position... That's sad...

    Come to Washington sometime... we had an "Asian" governer for MANY years, or haven't you heard of Gary Loche?? What did we get for it??? WAY higher taxes... A school system in shambles, even though he ran as the "Education Governer"... And, oh ya... one more thing... "Diversity", which is nothing more than Liberal code for SPECIAL RIGHTS for MINORITIES... All the while, leaving the rest of us who are actually a PART of the "Melting Pot" to fight and work and struggle with our own talent, knowledge, and skills, so the government can take our money and give it to these special interest groups...

    Taxation without representation... give me a break... If it's so unconstitutional, then WHY do you Dems want to do it so much??? They sure as heck don't represent me when they talk about taking my 401K and then taxing me 5%, for my own good, of course, to put into what amounts to an expansion of Social Security...

    Why are you people SOOOOO HUNG UP on Race, Color, Religion, etc., as dividing points for this society??? WHY can't you all just play with the same rules and on a level playing field and compete like the rest of us??? This has become a country SOOOOO divided, and it's NOT because of people like me, who couldn't give a rip what color you are or what religous background you have, but would are more interested in your values, and your actions, and how you treat others, and in YOU as a person. I could give a rip about the "Diverstity" crap... All taking part in that does is DIVIDE us further.


    I'll say it again young folks are leaving the twisted views of their parents behind ( you can take 10 children from 10 different backgrounds or nationalities and place them in a playground and they'll all play together with out any discrepancies as to who to play with or who looks like what, with in a few years of their parents indoctrination they'll start to focus more on what is not similar about them, from what they had in common.

    You know... this again shows you are simply out of touch... Do you even have kids???

    Have you HEARD how kids treat each other on the playgroud??? Do you REALIZE how the Mexican kids completely dislike the Black kids, simply because of the color of thier skin?? Haven't you been listening, just in the last couple of days, to how LIBERAL teachers and students are coming down on kids who happen to be more conservative and may have supported McCain???

    I'm sorry, but you seem to have your head in the clouds, and from the looks of things around this nation, you aren't alone...

      Another product of listening to limited media.... This is a rediculous claim...


      I dare you to use a term besides liberals. Who are you refering to? I'm not even sure if anyone knows what a liberal is and/or who they are.
      A Liberal is the opposite of a Conservative... These are general, readily accepted political terms, used by all forms of media... But you know that, and are just trying to pick a fight...

      But in case you really don't know what it is, start your research here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal

          Again... do you HAVE kids??? If you don't, then you don't really know what you are talking about... If you do, then you can believe what you want to believe...

          I have two kids, and when they first started encountering "race" as an issue, it was NOT from an "influential adult"... it was a natural, visceral reaction to someone being different from them... It was up to US as PARENTS (influential adults) to help them work through these NATURAL feelings and realize that we were all equal... Birthday parties around here are definately multi-culteral events now, thanks to this guidance...

          "Inflential Adults" help kids to NOT be "racist", or to worry about the differences, instead, seeing the person...

          "Diversity" Training, however, brings the differences to the forefront and asks us to "celebrate" them... further highlighting how we are NOT the same and NOT equal... Counterproductive, in my opinion... I'd prefer not to focus on the "differences"... That would be more "Fundamental"...

          And, for the record... The McCain campaign NEVER brought race up as an issue... but Obama did time and time and time again, and now Spike Lee and the rest of them are carrying on with it...

                Being from a country that has less of at least the racist part, I have to agree with this statement. I have two kids they get along with all the kids they meet, of course they have squalls... but over toys, and who gets to ride first on the slide... they really don't care about race, sex or FICO score... they just wanna play. At least that is my experience with my kids and as an ex-kid myself... well almost
                Something you guys have to realize is that we are all in the same boat, each and everyone of you is entitled to take a stand on what you think is right, just remember that your freedom ends where the next ones begins. We all have to paddle on the same direction, the style you do it doesn't really matter.

                      I get a little carried away sometimes... But I do think a healthy and spirited debate actually brings us all to a much greater level of understanding, both of the issues and of each other... even if we ultimately disagree...

                      Of course... I'm right and your wrong... but that's just a given!

                        Boy, is that ever the truth my dad was the CEO of an armoured car company in the UK. One day an employee ( union manager) approached him on a recent hire and stated I think this person is a catholic as I can smell them from a mile away and he will disrupt the harmony of other employees. My father replied he was hired on his merits not his religion. I worked for my dad at this time and I found a new respect for him with his handling of the matter.

                            While I think generally "racism" or "hatred" are sustained and strengthened in the home and by sorroundings, there is plenty of evidence available that there are natural components to the equation that leave a definitive answer open for debate. There is a natural propensity to gravitate toward those more "like ourselves"... and to be "cautious" of those not...

                            Just a couple of quick examples of various discussions supporting different views:



                            Ask questions on any topic, get real answers from real people. Have a question? Ask it. Know an answer? Share it.





                            You can't just point to one part of it and think you are "right", you have to deal with the whole picture...

                            In our home, we have no "racism"... and yet, my kids discovered that there were differences and gravitated away from some of those, until we intervened and explained to them that they were focusing on the wrong things... They now see beyond the skin color or race and there is no issue...

                            But then, we live without a lot of external family influences that might otherwise introduce ideas into their heads that they didn't originally have, or to reinforce natural concerns before we, as caring parents, have a chance to discuss with them and help point them to look deeper...

                            Just my experience... Your milage may vary...

                              I believe you have and are standing up for what you believe. Honestly you think 1675 members post on here? None the less what you said is worthless, you made statements, so did I, difference is you want me to shut up. I just want some moderation.
                              I have not told one person to shut up or keep their opinion to themselves?

                              Why do some people feel the need to lie to get ahead??
