Online dating study shows racial prejudices can be easily altered - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42788334]And how many non-whites/asians are born rich?[/QUOTE] A very small percentage of any population are born rich, there are far more impoverished people of any race than there are rich people of that race. There's massive income equality everywhere and people like you demonizing the working class in European nations because they're white is making it much harder to address.

[QUOTE=Aidan_088;42788363]A very small percentage of any population are born rich, there are far more impoverished people of any race than there are rich people of that race.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but of the rich population, what is the racial mix? You haven't answered that question.

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42788373]Yeah, but of the rich population, what is the racial mix?[/QUOTE] I don't have any statistics but all the Arab oil barons and wealthy Japanese business men would probably make up a pretty considerable amount. Though really you're missing the point they're all massively outnumbered by poor people of every race who have far more in common with each other than they do with rich people who happen to be born in the same place.

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42788425]Yeah, but look at how poor folks of different races are treated, as person11 suggested.[/QUOTE] I'm honestly not convinced that there's a difference in how poor people are treated based on race, and even if there was getting a few more smiles hardly makes any real difference to people living in dire poverty.

[QUOTE=Aidan_088;42788438]I'm honestly not convinced that there's a difference in how poor people are treated based on race, and even if there was getting a few more smiles hardly makes any real difference to people living in dire poverty.[/QUOTE] Look at how people become and stay poor. Not to mention, the percentages of poverty depending on racial group.

Well I love all the ladies equally ;) Seriously unghhh Women are so fucking..hot I can't even. IF I COULD I'D LOVE ON AND KISS EVERY LADY! Except the ones that could give me aids or something.

These types of posts are actually kind of refreshing between the arguments Yes women are great to love on and STDs suck

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42788458]Look at how people become and stay poor. Not to mention, the percentages of poverty depending on racial group.[/QUOTE] How about giving some actual arguments instead of vague insinuations.

[QUOTE=sgman91;42788976]How about giving some actual arguments instead of vague insinuations.[/QUOTE] I am asking you to educate oneself.

[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;42789004]I am asking you to educate oneself.[/QUOTE] No you educate yourself! (See how useless that is?)

i dont see race i just see boobies and butts

Educate yourself seems like a douchy comment, but when the truth is so readily accessible, it seems like a waste to find the sources for someone else It's fun to research! I'd have more comprehensive arguments with footnotes and sources but this is an internet forum

The problem is that "educated yourself" simply isn't an argument. It's nothing more than an appeal to authority in place of having to argue for oneself.

(I'm going to keep responding like this to show how useless your comments are)

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789242]No you! (I'm going to keep responding like this to show how useless your comments are)[/QUOTE] Well it's not any less productive than your regular posts so keep it up

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42789320]Well it's not any less productive than your regular posts so keep it up[/QUOTE] Good, let's move on to ad hominems! YAY! I always provide an argument and try as hard as I possibly can to avoid things like ad hominems. I honestly couldn't care less if you always disagree with me.

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789352]I honestly couldn't care less if you always disagree with me.[/QUOTE] Cool, I couldn't care less if you're bothered by personal attacks

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42789359]Cool, I couldn't care less if you're bothered by personal attacks[/QUOTE] Personal attacks are objectively bad argumentation. Whether I"m bothered (i'm not) or not doesn't even come into play ;) I simply like to point things like that out to ensure that others reading the thread aren't unknowingly persuaded by empty rhetoric.

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789398]Personal attacks are objectively bad argumentation.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42789417]Huh cool if I wanted good argumentation I'd join a debate club[/QUOTE] So you're nothing but a troll then? If you aren't here for honest discussion I can't think of any other reason to post other than trolling.

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789441]So you're nothing but a troll then?

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42789447]Or maybe I'm here for casual discussion about news-related topics, not high school debates in which both sides must be professional and respecting of each other?[/QUOTE] Whatever man, I'm not going to argue about why logical fallacies are bad for honest discussion. This is logic 101.

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789481]Whatever man, I'm not going to argue about why logical fallacies are bad for honest discussion.

Fuck this is pointless blathering by two unknown people about a topic they will forget about in three hours. Chalk it up as another sweet ass victory for debate master sgman91, whatever, I really don't care. I'm posting here to kill time and occasionally get a laugh or two, not dish out some epic logicbombs on unsuspecting nerds

Posting without care for truth in order to get a laugh or two in a serious topic is pretty much the definition of trolling.

[QUOTE=sgman91;42789614]Posting without care for truth in order to get a laugh or two in a serious topic is pretty much the definition of trolling.[/QUOTE] Yeah I wrote that wrong sorry, I meant browse this forum in general. I do it to kill time and get some humour out of posts which are quite often pretty humorous, not get a laugh by le epic trolling. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[QUOTE=thisispain;42782543]hoh yeah those asian women [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0e5sszCuZ1qlf40eo1_500.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]I must be broken or something, because that's not how I see them. Quite honestly I'm not sure why I like Asian women, because when I think about them all I think about is negative things. Like, how Asian women can achieve superhuman frequencies when they're really, really mad at you for gluing the top cabinet doors shut in the kitchen. Then she's bitching at you/about you in Cantonese while getting a chair to climb up on the countertop to pry the doors open with a screwdriver.[QUOTE=snookypookums;42784910]Surprisingly, there's a lot of that going on India too - there are quite a lot of Russian women who are marrying Indian men. The prevailing theory is that Indian men are culturally more family oriented and this appeals to them. Not necessarily true (I can see a number of problems with it), but I suppose in some cases I do wonder if it's the awareness of stereotypes and expectations of them that drive some interracial relationships.[/QUOTE]Didn't you also say in another thread that it would be really frowned upon if an Indian woman got involved with a foreigner/some guy of another race? I hope I am mistaken, because Indian women are pretty much gorgeous. Entirely unrelated, but how mad do Indian women get when you glue plates on the ceiling?
