I cant believe how badly some people are treated! I mean some people are called names and are abused just because their skin my be darker than someone elses! And other people are sexually abused just because they may look better than someone else! I really think that this has to stop!!

I think political correctness is making us unequal. Black people can call whites crackers but we can't call them n***ers. Please don't bust a cap for me saying that.

I've never met 2 different people and treated them both equally. I talk more with pretty girls than ugly ones and try to be more charming. I treat my friends better than strangers (especially ugly strangers) and I trade more with efficient and polite people than inefficient or rude ones. I care about my family more than people I haven't met. I avoid boring people and converse with interesting people. I'd rather drink with intelligent people than morons.

Anybody who says they don't discriminate has misunderstood the word. To discriminate just means to choose.

Blacks are more accepted than other minorities.

That is true. We should all be equal. which means no focusing on a certain race being the most equal to everyone.

I'm also tired of how so many guys stare at cute girls like they are fucking pictures.

I always thought it was dumb how you can't say it, but they can.

Actually, I have never really met anyone who thinks PC is a good idea.

pc sucks and everyone knows it and few if anyone likes it. ANyway I believe people are treated equally at times but at some point everyone is treated not as such. Let me say this, government can not fix our problem of inequality the still haven't and never will as long as man kind is well still human its just the way it works.

We should all face the cold fact that everyone will never be equal, to some extent.

I agree that It's not fair that some people are treated differently because of their race. I am very anti-discriminative and I get called a spick and then I call someone a ****** and it's a hate crime. when people from a different race than me calls me aname, it's not a hate crime. it urks me about people can be so ignorant about other cultures. i was alway taught to learn to be friend with a diverse nation because it expands my knowledge about different cultures. I have friends from all over the world and I love them all equally.

yeah but why would something like this bother a cute girl? would she prefer to be ignored?

As long as man insists on emhasizing the petty part of man we will never treat others as equals, be they our fellow man or a member of another species, period.

Sweeping generalizations are what make it that way.

No peace, whatsoever, can take place on the Earth. Even if one person is left alone there is always another person being hurt physically, emotionally, or mentally. Until the Battle of Armageddon has passed will we ever see what Peace truly is.

Until we all realise we don't know f'all, we'll prod and poke and oppress each other indefinately. But what the hell do I know.

people__are never/have never been/will never be__treated equally unless we are all made to look, think, and act the same and if thats what it takes for everyone to be treated equally then i would rather not be treated equally.

I think it would be absurd to say that everyone should be treated equally, however everyone should have some basic standard of treatment.
The reason people can use "cracker" and not the other word is because "cracker" is funny, whereas the other word is not (And yes, I am a cracker)
I think that some women are fine with being viewed as sex objects, but most aren't. (Which explains why a woman wouldn't want to be stared at.)

I totally agree with you there

I don't think anyone should be able to say the dreaded N Word. Blacks being able to say it makes just as much sense as Jews referring to themselves as Kikes every day. And BTW, I'm Jewish, so according the the laws of political correctness, i'm allowed to say that word. :roll: A fat lotta sense that makes.
