Biologically there are only 2 distinct genders - male and female. Anomalies happen, resulting in hermaphroditic people (having parts that are not clearly defined as being male or female). Mentally, I suppose you could convince yourself that you are whatever gender you want to be.

Jaithien I dunno how violent white supremacists are in general but their songs are pretty violent too.
maybe people in large groups are more violent because they can get away with it easier.
White supremacy songs?? I've never heard these playing on the radio. rolleyes

Anakha the Silver Because China isn't known for blatantly ignoring human rights, and Germany wasn't home of the Nazis.

StuckonBandaids Americans have developed a bad reputation in other parts of the world for being stupid, fat, and unconcerned with the affairs of other countries. While these are just generalizations, do you think there is any truth to it? I would love to hear your opinions. What country do you live in?
I didn't see the Poles complaining about the McDonald's in their neighborhood. mrgreen
I think it's a stark generalization but stereotypes have their origins in something truthful. ninja

As far as I'm concerned, the person is a woman, not a man. Mentally they may see themselves as a man, but biologically they are still female. They've altered their appearance only by taking hormones but their genetic makeup (as well as biological makeup since no surgeries have taken place) is still female.

wolf_321 I agree. But I don't think this will just go away on it's own. People need to understand that Black people should be given just as good an oppurtunity as Cockasian Caucasian, Mexican and so on. So good luck and sorry if I spelled anything wrong.
Yes you did spell something wrong. And I hope it wasn't intentional. <<

-xGummibear Kissx- Well my friend and I were at the mall. {Note:She's White and I'm Black.} Then this girl came up to my friend and says "Don't hang out with her. She's black!" I was so mad that day.
=======================================================================
The point is just because African Americans is giving this image of being tough, rude, disrespectful, and killers.It may seem like that all African Americans are like that but heads up: NOT ALL ARE LIKE THAT! Seriously, I can't even walk down the street without dirty looks. I look at myself sometimes and think 'What? I have appropriate clothes on. I'm not being loud or wild. Why are these people glaring at me for?' Am i a bad person for my race?
The girl who said that is a moron. And since this really isn't much of a discussion, that's all I have to say on the matter. neutral

Vincent the Artist Cat Wears A Hat
And the fact that the rape occurred on Halloween was probably the *only* thing that made the media suspect a Satanist...
And Blackhorn, you're using anecdotal evidence.
Because most people relate Satanism to Halloween... =/ Which was the point I was trying to make...
Gah Vince, put some clothes on!! >_<

Blackhorn- the Legend Tam Li Hua
Quote: The following example is only a dig at the more severe Christians:
Christian douchebag: Yeah so this little kid has gone missing, its gotta be the Satanists.
Non-idiot: Hmm, or it could be just a regular criminal.
Christian douchebag: No! Satanists ruin everything. Satanists make me ignore my faith by me beating the hell out of my wife and sleeping with my secretary! Its okay though, as long as I go to church a lot and tell god I'm sorry for beating up my wife I'm good. Loopholes are great
Uhm...ooooooooookaaaaaaay....I've never EVER heard even the most conservative Christian say this. Ever. So...what the hell are you even talking about..? Which part don't you agree with? The last part- sure- that's ridiculous. The first part though...
There was a child rape around here on Halloween, and the news said that it must have been the work of a Satanist. They talked about the immoralities of LaVey, talked about why a Satanist would do this, then moved on to when Beggar's Night would be. Turns out the guy that did it was actually a Seventh Day Adventist, but they only bothered to mention that in passing a few weeks later.
Another Halloween related one, while hanging out with some friends, we overheard someone say that their black cat would have to stay inside during Halloween, for fear a Satanist would steal it and kill it. Even after explaining to said person that it was douchery kids who did that, not LaVey Satanists, the guy still was bound and determined that my fiance (after finding out he was a Satanist) would be the one to kill the cat.
I could go on and on about this- both media stories and personal stories.
And the fact that the rape occurred on Halloween was probably the *only* thing that made the media suspect a Satanist...

Tam Li Hua error[dot]exe Blackhorn- the Legend Tam Li Hua Try not bashing other people's beliefs if you want them to understand and respect yours.
You can disagree with someone without being a total jerk about it.
Why the face? She's got a point.
Thank you.
Everyone knows that statement was in response to the OP, right? ^^;;;
I got you, Tam wink
