So. Really. I have to say, whitey is a pretty lame derogatory name. And cracker? Like in soup? Lamer!

"Cracker" is a stupid name. I think "white trash" is fun, though. I'll call myself "white trash" it's so fun!
Apparently, white people are uncool. But who came up with "Switch"? (Will Smith). There is nothing hip about clapping and crap. African Americans can be just as uncool as white people.

All the names used for groups of people are stupid, if you think about them long enough.
I'm white and I've always been cool to the people -family & friends & coworkers- around me.
And as long as I can provide a safe and comfortable way of life & good standard of living for my wife and children-that are confident,compassionate and educated- I feel I'll retain my cool status. Without pant-hooting and trying to pretend I'm something I'm not.

When I was a little kid I'd heard that word somewhere, and didn't know what it meant. I went around repeating it constantly for a while because it sounded funny. I wonder how many people I offended?
theres two words i hadnt heard used before..."cracker" and "peckerwood"
there was me thinking that a cracker was a biscuity thing you had with cheese.
we dont go in for that sort of disgusting racism here. oh no, we prefer religious insults, which are much more sophisticated.
I once heard "snowflake" used instead of cracker. I think snowflake sounds more like a cutsey name than a derogatory one.
At any rate, if I'm not mistaken, cracker came from whipcracker....

yes. you can find latinos, indians, and black people in trailer parks - depending on the area. i'm fairly sure this is pretty much the reason why the whites living in them are 'white trash'. the implication is that while they may look white, they live like those 'lesser' humans.

You don't have to be living in a trailer park to be white trash. I know some people who would fit the description and they lived in a house. It has nothing to do with who one lives with, it's more associated with a total lack of class and you know, being very tacky, perhaps slutty, popping out 10 kids and living in borderline squalour.

I'm white and I really truly don't give a damn about skin-colour. We're all human, and giving each other labels based on skin-pigment doesn't change that one bit.
HOWEVER, with all that said, anybody who calls me a cracker to my face will get an earful. To me a Cracker is a crack-addict, period. I'm no crack-addict, so don't go calling me one, please.
If someone insists on calling me honkey, I think its gives me full right to ignore them completely. Respect is a double-egded sword, and it has to be mutual to mean anything worthwhile.

Very run down and you can smell it from the sidewalk.
And they didn't have toys in their backyard. Well, none that worked. I think there was a broken car, a broken swingset and a garage that was halfway fallen apart.
They moved and the place got torn down for new developments though.

It was because when cars were first released only white people could drive. A black person would be in the road and the white person would honk. "Hey, I'm moving as fast as I can. Why don't you slow down a little bit, Honky McCracker!" It was later shortened to Honky.

Long story short some (I believe predominantly white) American users got very, VERY upset by this.
During the rants about racism, several of them went off on long essay posts about 'white priviledge' meaning, effectively, that if you were white you didn't really have any right to an input because your in a special priviledged place.

In most native languages, for example Cree, 'Hello' is roughly translated as 'how'. Tan'si (hello/how). It kind of means, how are you doing...it's a greeting, and we don't just have a word for 'hi'. So, when natives started speaking English, they would make these rough translations, and we started greeting people with 'how' instead of 'hi'. Then it became a stereotypical word for Indians that couldn't speak much English, and it was mocked a lot. Like anything, I think it is the intent behind the word that matters, not the word itself. When it is used ignorantly to stereotype a culture, then yeah, I guess it's a bit insulting...kind of like how people say, 'lice' instead of 'rice' when mocking Asians who don't have the same 'r' sound as we do.
I was watching Disney's animated version of Peter Pan the other night with my little girl. "How" is almost the only word the indians say in it, aside from when they break into the musical question "what makes the red man red?"
Ah...that song always makes me laugh...
Redman indeed....

I actually like to get drunk and, "act white". So what does that mean?
"White" is a pretty broad term. Its like people going to McDonalds and getting a "fish" sandwich. What the hell is it?
I'm white-these days,when I get drunk, I usually achieve an unconscious horizontal position. Other whites get fairly aggressive and sometimes they too can wind up achieving an unconscious horizontal position.

Ok, cheers for explaining it. No-one seemed to want to in their argument!
I think I like your answer the best!
Why didn't this change though when they started Driving Miss Daisy? Maybe they weren't allowed to honk the horns...
That's right! Have you heard this story before. See, at first, the black or '******' drivers were not permitted to touch the horn as this was a form of communication that was reserved to their superior white hosts. However, when one of the aforementioned so-called drivers began to get in an accident and begged his white master to honk the horn, it took too long. The accident occurred while the 'Honkey', as they were all known at this time, was pressing the horn and 'Honkey' died but the driver did not as he was wearing a seat belt, actually a chain to keep him from running away. After the 'Death of Honkey' as it was billed in the local rag, laws regarding the right of drivers to honk the horn were changed.

Certainly! Ideally everyone would stick with their own race; have kids, and preserve their cultural heritage.
Actually, most genetic diseases could be stamped out if only there were more interbreeding between regionally and racially diverse peoples. Many such diseases stem from rare mutations, that become fixed in small populations. Over time, the disease can become prevalent. A high proportion of Amish, for instance, suffer from an extremely rare disease, where, ironically, in order to survive they must sleep under special lamps. They're sticking with their own race, and preserving their cultural heritage, but at what genetic cost?

I'm sorry, when did a person have to be completely of one heritage to recognize the importance of their cultural history. Though I have a 100% Caucasian background, I am Italian and Irish; I enjoy both the amazing flavor of my Italian family and the delicious boiled meat and potatoes of my Irish heritage. Even if mixing cultural genes (which by the way is out-crossing, strengthening immunities and lessening the chances of debilitating mutation alleles to become expressed) could be considered tainting (don’t argue with "I didn't say tainting" because you implied it), wouldn't the original country of origin be able to preserve their tradition just as well as (if not better than) any single family could?

Ok, this really happened also. Same guy, my sister, myself and a couple of black friends were driving through Harvey, IL (a supremely black neighborhood) and we were looking for a street and couldn't find it. So we stopped for directions at a gas station. It was my sister's idea as the rest of us were men and were content with going, I think it's over there (note: none of us were pointing anywhere when we said that). So seeing as it was a very black neighborhood and I was pretty much Hitler's wet dream, my friends thought it would be funny if the lost whiteboy went in and asked directions.
I walk in and I see a very large black man and woman who appeared to be married (or so I gathered from talking to them) who were eating fried chicken (from Popeye's), watermelon, drinking a forty (at work, no less, though I think they owned the place) and watching Dolemite on television. I was in a complete shock but I chatted with them for a bit (they were very nice) and got back in the car. With a completely straight face (mostly because I wasn't sure how everyone would react), I told them what I had seen. The car erupted in fits of laughter. They kept saying how funny I was and that adding Dolemite to the story was classic. I tried to tell them I wasn't that imaginative, but to this day they think I was making it up.

Acting intelligent, persuing excellence, anything that doesn't involve wearing FUBU and acting like something you're not. Get a job, have White kids, and do what you love so that you make a good impact on society. These aren't lofty goals, but somehow I see many people of our race falling short of all of them.
Don't all peoples strive for these goals? I don't think that this is a white only thing and that mayhap you should look at other people. Real people. Good people. Not some rapper with 24 million dollars that sings about the ghetto.

Citing the official US Census of 1830, there were 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves.
Furthermore, the story outlines the history of slavery here, and the first slave owner, the Father of American slavery, was Mr Anthony Johnson, of Northampton, Virginia.
His slave was John Casor, the first slave for life. Both were black Africans.
The story is very readable, and outlines cases of free black women owning their husbands, free black parents selling their children into slavery to white owners, and absentee free black slave owners, who leased their slaves to plantation owners.

Of course, a full telling of Black History would not be complete without a telling of the origin of slavery in the Virginia colony:
Virginia, Guide to The Old Dominion, WPA Writers' Program, Oxford University Press, NY, 1940, p. 378
"In 1650 there were only 300 negroes in Virginia, about one percent of the population.
They weren't slaves any more than the approximately 4,000 white indentured servants working out their loans for passage money to Virginia, and who were granted 50 acres each when freed from their indentures, so they could raise their own tobacco.

What's acting white? I'll just act like me. If you don't like it,
tough shit. ( ACHIEVING, INVENTING,GOOD MORALS AND ETHICS, LOW CRIME RATES PER CAPITA,WORKING, ACTUALLY LOOKING AFTER YOUR CHILDREN(EG SEEN THE AMOUNT OF HOMELESS KIDS IN AFRICA AND ASIA?),THESE ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT IS ACTING WHITE...NEED MORE EXAMPLES ID BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE THEM TO YOU)
Maybe I need to flatten my bum,( BETTER LOOKING BUMS THAN THOSE BIG FAT BOOTY ASSES) dye my hair blonde,( BLONDES ARE DYING OUT AND WOULD BE LUCKY TO BE 1% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION, WOULDNT THAT BE SAD WHEN NEARLY EVERY MANS IDEAL WOMAN IS A BLONDE LADY, NOT A BIG BOOGA LIPPED ,BOOTY ASSES BLACK CHICK OR ASIAN CHICK,THOSE PEOPLE CAN ONLY DREAM OF BEING BLONDE, WHICH I MIGHT SAY ARE THE MOST INTELLIGENT OF ALL WOMEN OTHER THAN REDHEADS.YOU MAY THINK ASIANS ARE SMARTER AND YOUD BE CORRECT ACADEMICALLY WISE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO INVENTIONS/INITIATIVE,COMMON SENSE WHITE WOMEN WIN HANDS DOWN..THATS WHY WHITE PEOPLE HAVE INVENTED ALMOST EVERY USEFUL THING WE HAVE TODAY-EG WASHING MACHINES, LAWN MOWERS, ELECTRICITY, COMPUTERS ETC ETC ALBERT EINSTIEN WAS A FRAUD WHO STOLE WHITE MANS IDEAS.) but let the dark
roots show,( NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT ,AT LEAST THEY DONT LOOK AS RIDICULES AS THOSE ASIAN,BLACK WOMEN WHO DYE THEIR HAIR BLONDE) talk in a valley-girl accent,( I LOVE THOSE ACCENTS) listen only to Jessica
Simpson,( FUCK JESSICA SIMPSON, SHE IS A RACE TRAITOR WHO MARRIED A RICH JEWBOY) have a black boyfriend,( YES DOESNT IT DISGUST YOU WHEN YOU SEE A WHITE MAN/WOMAN WITH A TOKEN BLACK/ASIAN ON THEIR ARMS, NOT TO MENTION HOW UGLY AND STUPID THEIR KIDS WILL BE..THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL ACHIEVE ANYTHING IS IF THEY USE THE DUMBED DOWN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICIES LIKE CONDELEEZA RICE AND COLIN POWEL USED, LETS FACE IT BOTH OF THEM ARENT THE BRIGHTEST SPARKS IN THE WORLD, BOTH HALF CASTES WITH NOT A SENSE BELONGING TO ANYONE) and dance disjointedly and with
little rythym?[/jk] ( LIKE THE MISCONCEPTION THAT WHITES CANT JUMP(PS WHITES WON BOTH GOLD,SILVER,BRONZE IN THE LONG JUMP, HIGH JUMP AT THE RECENT OLYMPICS, THEY ALSO PLAYED BOTH THE GOLD ,SILVER MEDAL BASKETBALL MATCH, SO MUCH FOR WHITEY CANT JUMP HUH? ),PEOPLE LIKE TO SAY WHITES CANT DANCE, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE CLASSICAL SIDE OF THINGS LIKE BALLET AND YOULL NOTICE THAT IT5 IS THE BLACKS THAT CANT DANCE PROPERLY..BUT WHEN YOU CALL JUMPING AROUND LIKE MONKEYS DANCING YOU CAN SEE WHY WHITES CANT DO IT THAT WELL)
There's no such thing as a white culture. There's Irish, Italian,
French, Welsh, Scottish, German, and a myriad of other "white"
divisions( QUITE CORRECT , THERE ARE MANY WHITE CULTURES TO CHOOSE FROM, BUT THE THING IS THEY ARE WHITE WHITE WHITE CULTURES)
I certainly would call "sticking to your own race", racist( ID CALL THOSE THAT DONT STICK TO THEIR OWN RACE DISRESPECTFUL,DISHONOURABLE AND DOWN RIGHT DISGUSTING, LOVING YOUR OWN RACE ISNT RACIST, THE TRUE RACISTS ARE THOSE THAT HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST THIS)
To be proud of something as silly as ones own skin color is ridiculous.( SKIN COLOUR IS NOT SILLY, YOUR THE SILLY 1 IF YOU THINK WE ARE ALL THE SAME UNDERNEATH..BE PROUD OF YOUR WHITE SKIN WHICH YOU GOT FROM YOUR WHITE ANCESTORS IS NOT SILLY)
WHo cares what color your skin is?( THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO STAY THE SKIN COLOUR THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP) Also, what difference does it
make if a caucasian marries a negroid or mongoloid or whatever?( IT MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE, EVER TRIED TO GET AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT IF YOUR A MIXED RACED LIQUORICE ALLSORT?OBVIOUSLY YOUVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS OR THE OTHER MYRIAD OF DISEASES THAT MIXED RACED PEOPLE ARE SUBJECTED TO)
That would be great, if there were actually a such thing as race. ( YOU FRIGGEN FOOL, IF THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS RACE WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR COLOUR FROM?HOW COME THEY CAN TELL YOUR RACE BY YOUR DNA?ANSWER THOSE 2 QUESTIONS DOPEY AND ILL GIVE YOU SOME MORE AFTER THAT)
Actually, most genetic diseases could be stamped out if only there were more interbreeding between regionally and racially diverse peoples.( BULLSHIT, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS GEM FROM ? PLUCK IT OUT OF YOUR ASSHOLE OR SOMETHING..?) Many such diseases stem from rare mutations, that become fixed in small populations. (RUBBISH)Over time, the disease can become prevalent.(RUBBISH) A high proportion of Amish, for instance, suffer from an extremely rare disease, where, ironically, in order to survive they must sleep under special lamps.( YEAH WE KNOW JEWS ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUFFER FROM HEMAROIDS, SO WHAT?) They're sticking with their own race, and preserving their cultural heritage, but at what genetic cost?( AT NO GENETIC COST, HORSE BREEDERS AND DOG BREEDERS KNOW THAT BY MIXING THEIR BREEDS THEY MAKE THEM WEAKER, NOT STRONGER, THATS WHY BLOODLINE IN BREEDS ARE SO IMPORTANT..LATER I WILL GIVE YOU SOME DISEASES WHICH THERE ARE MORE OF FROM PEOPLE MIXING THEIR RACE, EG WEAKENING THEIR GENETICS )
Mulatto power! ( NO THANKS, IVE BEEN TO MEXICO ,ITS A SHIT HOLE..WHEREVER RACES HAVE MIXED IT HAS DESTROYED THAT COUNTRY, EGYPT, ROME, ARGENTINIA, USA, UK,FRANCE,AUSTRALIA ARE ALL GOING DOWNHILL BECAUSE OF SO CALLED DIVERSITY AND MULTICULTURALISM..AND ALL I GOT TO SAY TO THOSE WHITE RACED(EG CAUCASOID) PEOPLE OUT THERE, IS DONT FALL VICTIM TO IT, STAY TRUE TO YOUR ROOTS...BECAUSE RACE DOES MATTER, RACE IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP, WE DID NOT ALL COME FROM AFRICA AND WE ARE NOT ALL BLOODY EQUAL...)
NOW LETS SEE IF THERE ARE ANY MORE FOOLS THAT WANT TO DENY THE EXISTANCE OF RACE.

Father Arrested for Protecting Son
News/Comment; Posted on: 2005-05-02 09:11:35 [ Printer friendly / Instant flyer ]
Admirable dad had merely asked for the school's promise that his six-year-old not be subjected to pro-homosexual indoctrination; we need to take a similar stand against the equally perverted practice of interracial sex.
by Mark Farrell
IN WHAT can only be viewed as a sign of the increasing tyranny of the modern world, a Lexington, MA father, David Parker, was recently arrested for protesting school system officials' desire to teach his son that homosexual unions were just another acceptable kind of "family." Parker had written the principal repeatedly, insisting that the teaching of sexual morality was his family's responsibility, not the school's.

Where I was born in America the blacks and other smaller groups used the word 'Pinkey' over white people.
If people think the words ******, negro, etc. are offensive then they should also consider the words over white people like 'whitey, pinkey, wigga etc' offensive.

Who's this peltier bloke anyway?
Leonard Peltier was a leader of the American Indian Movement.
http://www.freepeltier.org/
http://www.leonardpeltier.org/
Leonard Peltier -- a great-grandfather, artist, writer, & indigenous rights activist -- is a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota Nations who has been unjustly imprisoned since 1976.
A participant in the American Indian Movement, he went to assist the Oglala Lakota people on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the mid-70s where a tragic shoot-out occurred on June 26, 1975. Accused of the murder of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Peltier fled to Canada believing he would never receive a fair trial in the United States.
On February 6, 1976, Peltier was apprehended. The FBI knowingly presented the Canadian court with fraudulent affidavits, and Peltier was returned to the U.S. for trial.
Key witnesses were banned from testifying about FBI misconduct & testimony about the conditions and atmosphere on the Pine Ridge Reservation at the time of the shoot-out was severely restricted. Important evidence, such as conflicting ballistics reports, was ruled inadmissible. Still, the U.S. Prosecutor failed to produce a single witness who could identify Peltier as the shooter. Instead, the government tied a bullet casing found near the bodies of their agents to the alleged murder weapon, arguing that this gun had been the only one of its kind used during the shootout, and that it had belonged to Peltier.
Later, Mr. Peltier’s attorneys uncovered, in the FBI’s own documents, that more than one weapon of the type attributed to Peltier had been present at the scene and the FBI had intentionally concealed a ballistics report that showed the shell casing could not have come from the alleged murder weapon. Other troubling information emerged: the agents undoubtedly followed a red pickup truck onto the land where the shoot-out took place, not the red and white van driven by Peltier; and compelling evidence against several other suspects existed and was concealed.
At the time, however, the jury was unaware of these facts. Peltier was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. He is currently imprisoned at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Peter Matthiessen's In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140144560/ref=pd_bxgy_text_1/103-0345811-1703011?v=glance&s=books&st=*) is a great book about Peltier's case, the American Indian Movement, and the plight of Indians in America.
Peltier wrote a moving biography and manifesto Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312263805/103-0345811-1703011?v=glance)

Don't all peoples strive for these goals? I don't think that this is a white only thing and that mayhap you should look at other people. Real people. Good people. Not some rapper with 24 million dollars that sings about the ghetto.

Leonard Peltier is a political prisoner of the US government. As a member of the American Indian Movement he exercised his freedom of expression by shooting a federal agent. The government didn't like that so they locked him up.

Lac, we were just sort of disempowering the words. Commenting on how silly they are and how silly people sound using them. That is until a select few showed up and explained to all of us how superior white people are with proofs that show a profound misunderstanding of biology, race, English, and, um, biology (it was so bad I had to mention it twice).
I think all people of any race should start acting however the hell they want to act, because race is not a defining factor of how one acts.
There is no "acting white", because every white person is different, as with any person of any other race.
Hala-frickin'-lujah!

Not necessarily:).
Point being, there were some serious flaws in the case, and the whole thing should have been retried, making sure the evidence that was left out the first time was finally included. I don't want to sound hyped up about race, but I suspect that had he been white, he WOULD have had that retrial. But who can say for sure.

They sure proved his point though, didn't they? He claimed that he wouldn't get a fair trial and that they were out to get him and the evidence seems to support his case. I wish all cases of the government mistreating people were so obvious. It would make it much easier for people to see the problem.

Seeing the problem hasn't gotten him a new trial though. And people will get frothy at the mouth at the mere thought that others consider him and Mumia to be political prisoners, because no such thing happens in 'free' nations, and even if the judicial system was wrong, it was right. *sighs*

In the modern age of Affirmative Action and (over)litigation, the only people you are allowed to display public hate for is the white heterosexual male. Basically, white people are everybody's spittoon. Let me explain:
Women think that they are oafish nymphomaniacs.
Gays think that they are outwardly macho and latently homosexual.
Blacks think that they are oppressive and physically deficient.
Natives think that they are condescending and devious.
Latinos think that they are arrogant and somewhat cowardly.
Asians think that they are lazy and stupid.
All of the above are true to some extent, or at least, they were at some point in history.

I'm off Rez. There aren't any jobs on Rez:( Apples...I haven't heard that one before. Na, I always got told, "Shee, you just want to be white, don't you?" (I wish you could hear the native accent I'm using...)

Depends on who wants to feel superior to who. Up North, one of the Gwichiin families adopted a black kid from the Bronx. They raised him as a Native, and he's more culturally native than some of the purebloods. Thing is, he hasn't had that many problems...people know his family, and know they won't put up with any shit. However, when he comes down here, and shows his status card, he gets all sorts of raised eyebrows and flack from the Alberta natives. He just laughs and tells them to kiss his as in Gwichiin.

A mixblood will generally be treated just as shittily as a pureblood in our society, and basically, if you grew up on or off the Rez, in roughly the same socioeconomic situation, and were exposed to the abuse that most of us have been within our communities (and from outside them), we band together.
I thought it was interesting the other day. I was talking to a white woman who went to a reserve school. She says whenever she got into a fight, it was never one on one, it was always her against someone and all their cousins, and she mentioned how unfair that always seemed to her. Then I pointed out, in our culture, individuality and 'standing alone' is not considered strength, it's a weakness. She thought about it for a bit, and I could see the light go off in her head. It's not that the native girl fighting her was trying for some unfair advantage. In fact, we were always surprised when someone showed up alone. We thought they were crazy!
I'm only a nymphomaniac. But if you're not being scarastic, I truly feel sorry for you.
Sorry...you had to read that quote in context. It was a joke:).

My wife now talks about being an American Immigrant but still being Japanese. I couldn't become a Japanese citizen and never be Japanese. WASP find this intriguing I guess because we don't associate the nation and state as one. In these homogenous cultures it still is.

Do you mean, you couldn't have Japanese citizenship and not be culturally Japanese? I'm not sure what the immigration policies are there...nor the attitudes. I do know that many foreign-born Japanese are never accepted as Japanese...
I don't think there are really many places like that...I know in Latin America, you can change your nationality all you like, and you're still 'americano/a', meaning you belong to the continent, not your particular nation of birth. That doesn't mean your citizenship doesn't matter, but there isn't such a cultural tie as there seems to be in Japan.

There are as much derogatory words used against different white American ethnics (Italian, Jews, Germans, Polish, English, etc...) by other white groups (from simple jokes to extreme racism) as done by any non white groups.
Thanks. Sorry I missed that. I was just backing up the dumptruck full of insults. :)
Yeah...I asked for this to be kept light, but then we got infiltrated by real racists, and now we all have to try to avoid being lumped in with them. :(

That's what always kills me...the inter-white hatred:). We used to be a lot more aware of it even forty years ago, but for some reason, the 'white power' groups have solidified all these warring ethnicities along colour lines. I guess it's a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? Too bad they don't seem to realise that plenty of 'white folk' don't go around hating everyone who doesn't look like them.
And I love how Jews get left out of the 'white' mix....I guess my eyes can't see the colour differences enough...

I was wondering when someone would go through previous posts I made filled with racial slurs and attack me. I forgot to put a disclaimer on each one reminding that I am joking and being sacrastic.
Perfect example of losing the tone because its in print.
I'm not a racist or prejudiced. I understand everyone else and hate everyone equally.

Yeah, I think many of our comments here could be pulled out of context and I really hope people read this whole thread before we all get painted with the same racist brush.
And I get your point. You're an equal oportunist hater:)

I actually just made a point of jumping around the thread and taking things out of context. It sounds baaaad. Hopefully, people will at least read the first post. :confused:

Funny? No.
I have no doubt a number of mods have already glanced, and hopefully have gleaned that we're trying to keep this above board. Right, Coggy?
Sheesh...everyone ran for the hills at the mere mention of a mod...bunch of scardey cats! *checks TGs for mod warnings*...I'm surprised you all didn't just delete your posts and leave me hanging! *checks threads to make sure people haven't actually done so*

Besides the mods are all busy with the sudden influx of trolls. You should see what happened on the what women look for in a man thread. What is going on today?

Isn't it obvious? Trolls regenerate over time. You might seriously injure one with a ban, but it'll eventually be back good as new. Trolls are also very vindictive, and will coelesce into packs to seek out and annoy those who incapacitated them.
Conventional weapons don't work against them. You need some sort of magical potion to smite them down.

Japanese are smiling friendly and fiercely jingoistic. If you're visiting no problem. They are curious and polite. Stay long enough and away from tourist areas and you'll see it. Westerners and especially Americans are lazy and won't work hard. Gaijin (foreigner) are always second class citizens or at best politely tolerated by those over 40.
Individual US citizens have a higher productivity than individual Japanese citizens. Japan has a stagnant economy propted up by taxpayer yen and loans. The current Prime Minister is doing a lot to help the situation though.

I just realized how to use the quote button...never saw it before
[QUOTE=Sinuhue]Then I pointed out, in our culture, individuality and 'standing alone' is not considered strength, it's a weakness. QUOTE]
Community is good but I've seen family businesses on the Rez habitually go under when other Indians insisted on buying on credit and claim the owner was victimizing them for trying to collect. Eventually everyone turned their back on them, little of the debt was paid and the one who tried to succeed wound up far, far in debt with an empty business and angry creditors.
People should sink or float on their own accord with their immediate family as the only safety net. Families get tired of deadbeats faster than the community does.

Stupid Japanese. They can't get over the fact that two of their cities were completely destroyed by huge nuclear bombs sent by Americans just about sixty years ago (read: people who saw the effects are still with us today).

Sorry, but that's your cultural concept. You use an example where relying on one another don't work. Fine. I can use many where it does, including parenting, education, hunting, etc. Yes, sometimes there is disfunction, as there is in the Western culture of individuality, but that does not invalidate our cultural emphasis on community over individual.

it's not about the bomb. Elderly Japanese WW2 vets have told me Japan earned the A Bomb. Japan would not have stopped fighting without the Shock and Awe of Fat Man and Little Boy.
It's just, are really jingoistic. Making excuses. But honestly that's changing with the current government.
Also, our concept of immediate family is different than yours may be. My cousins are my siblings and my aunties are my mothers (this is even reflected in our language). My immediate family includes people that are distantly related.

Got to agree with you there on grouping and disagree with you about Western culture being all about individuals. The US survived the great depression because communities came together and helped one another survive. My grandmother told me stories about whoever had work at any given time would feed the neighborhood. That way instead of going through feast or famine by a turn of luck the entire neighborhood had enough to survive on. Every great change, women's rights, civil rights, etc. in Western society occurred on the backs of communities that came together to effect that change. The safest and cleanest communities in the US are filled with families that work together to keep the neighborhood safe and clean.

Individuality in cultures can lead to social change or scientific epiphany. The strength of community can lead to codependency or idealic cooperation. I'd say the best mix is 30% community-70% rugged individualism.

You're right. That community value really WAS a part of Western culture in those days. Do you honestly see that value being passed on to the majority now? Where once old age homes would have been unthinkeable when there were living relatives to care for you, they are fast becoming the norm.
There are exceptions, and small town tend to exemplify that. I know mine does. But the west pushes individuality in its economic systems and political ones, and I don't see that changing in the near future.
Individuality in cultures can lead to social change or scientific epiphany.So can communal cooperation. The strength of community can lead to codependency or idealic cooperation. And individualism can lead to isolation, withdrawal and despair. I'd say the best mix is 30% community-70% rugged individualism.
If there's one thing history should have taught us is that no one way is right. Communal living worked for us for thousands of years. It's the only thing that allowed us to survive conquest somewhat intact. One of the big challenges we face is the fact that none of the systems we now are part of take our world view into account. Our schools, our reservations, our governing systems (other than tribal councils) are all imposed from the top down, and don't particulary fit us. If we changed to fit these systems, perhaps we would assimilate better, but we would also lose ourselves.

Snipped some stuff.
People live alot longer these days and accumulate alot more serious age related illnesses. Also alot of families need both parents working to make ends meet. How do you care for a parent who may be suffering with Alzheimers, cancer, or chronic debilitating diseases like severe arthritis for a period of perhaps a decade while still working a full time job?
