    Very true.

    Does anyone know if all those examples from the "Indian Wars" are actually true ?

    Probably is true.

    It does lead to an interesting proof that all cultures are not equal.

    As the current culture is an improvement of that of old. This would indicate that some cultures are better then others.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    what i don't understand is when the author tries to say that we are all racist
    it doesnt seem to be based on race, what has been going on

    culture really breeds mindset
    color, features, language are an aside

    i dont care about having white children. what lives on is the ideology, the skin color is a moot point. my bro and sis are puerto-rican and black. but in reality they are irish american; raised by irish americans. bodies die, genes die out, ideas seem to live longer.
    the racist claim cannot be lobbied against me - i dont think that way, but i do believe in moral standards

    i believe (and am frantically searching for personal proof) that the basic western ideology is based on truth and is superior to others. this, however, is a cyclical arguement which will be bought by no one

    if one company creates a vacuum with the same build as one made in the 1920's while black and decker makes one that picks up tons more stuff and cleans carpet and does dishes etc - the decker vacuum is a better vacuum. i know, people will say "it's not for everyone. what is someone needs a simple vacuum that craps out all the time? it gets the job done". i just need to beleive that there is a point and that we all exist in the same physical and metaphysical universe


    i dont know. life seems so meaningless. if you dont believe that their is a direction and superlative goal for humanity, it really can't matter what a law says. it is all piss in the wind

    who knows who is right or wrong

    if we just base "right" and "wrong" on our own interpretation of the world, we are left with a very unforgiving, unfair, dog eat dog reality. that is what nature is. the concept of "humanity" is based on the idea that there is a goal beyond immediate personal fulfillment and procreation
