...Youth now-a-days Ziggy, is a totally different ball game sister.

Yes, it was so different back when I was young and we watched the surface of the planet cooling for fun...

We are SO consumed by our past, that we can't brighten our damned future!

How was the Paleazoic era?

I'll bet folks got plenty of exercise running away from big toothy critters.

Oppression!!!

What job have you been prevented from getting based on race. I call bullshit..

I've actually seen this in a government job I had right out of college. Minorities and women received special treatment to fit quotas and ratios. And believe it or not, it was in a safety related field. The government put quotas ahead of public safety.

I don't think minorities, and particularly black minorities, will ever achieve equal status in this country until they begin behaving as equals. It's not enough just to be granted equal status. I think they're asking for more than can be given to them. They have act the part, or the equality solution is not complete.

But that's just my opinion.

Hmmm.....I guess there is a bit of truth buried in there Scott. I'm just pissed as anyone can be that the racist lawmakers back in day voted down the 40 acres and a mule. What a shitty tiny bit of compensation and those asshole bastards voted that down. Real nice guys, real nice.

Very good opinion it is too.

Morgan Freeman was quoted recently as saying he didn't like being referred to as an 'AfricanAmerican', he was simply an American, who happened to be black.

This week I felt compelled to join in on a message board on Oprah W's website, about a completely different topic. Before being allowed to post, you must register. In filling out the lenthy list of questions, I stopped at the one that asked 'Race?'. Like I said, I stopped right there.

When I have the option, I like to answer that question "human"

[oregonpackfan]

Under "race" I have felt the temptation to write "I have raced 5K's, 10K's, and 4 marathons, but now I just jog."

Paleozoic was pretty cool watching everything develop, but Mesozoic was kind of a pain. And travel wasn't much fun in either era because nothing was where it was supposed to be. Stupid tectonic plates...

Straw Man argument.

Just wanted to play the most over-used card on this board.

I'll be damned...Jason Whitlock actually made it on to one of the 24/7 news channels and says Jackson and Sharpton are terrorist
