I can deal with everything in this thread...except this:
Slavery ended up being good for some black people. Some ended up settling and leading decent lives in decent countries (like America), instead of still being stuck in some AIDS-infested civil war hotbed of a country that still exists in Africa.
Christ almighty
. But you what, I'm not going even going to take this any further as it's simply too ridiculous. In fact it might be one the most ridiculous things I've ever read on this forum.
As for me, I have a shitload:
_ Homeopathy works. And I mean
not just as a placebo. Water has a memory, and the extremely diluted substances stimulate the "vital force".
_ I believe homeopathy, TCM, acupuncture and other forms of alt medicine are often villainized in the media, and that this is thanks to vested interests. The Pharmaceutical industry is the most profitable one in the world, go figure.
_I believe there may be a semi- deliberate conspiracy designed to keep the mass male population weak by getting them so overly sexually excited on an almost constant basis that they end up draining much of their power and energy through copious amounts of ejaculation.
_Hardcore porn is an almost entirely negative thing that damages and exploits all involved, especially the watcher.
_ I'm still not bothered either way about Darwinian evolution. It's a merely "meh" subject for me, whether true or not.
_As I articulated in a previous thread, I believe
true and pure selflessness is an incredibly rare thing. But that it does exist in a few nonetheless, and is possible to aspire for.
_ That most people fail to understand the distinction between racism and prejudice. Racism is inherentally institutional, and therefore reverse racism being carried out by the ethnic groups subjected to institutional racism, is completely impossible. Some may be prejudice, but that's
not racism. This is correct historical meaning of the word, but unfortunately it has been hijacked by the other side and used to their advantage.
_Affirmative action is absolutely necessary. Trusting school institutions or work places to be "meritocratic" and not racially biased, is complete foolishness of the highest order, and displays a high level of naivety.
_ I think it's about time all the borders now come down, and we as a human race learn to move beyond the trappings of race and nation and segregation. In this respect, despite the many, many, many nasty consequences, globalization may be a necessary process.
I think that's enough for now.
