I think that a post such as this one was very necessary. The original
question posted was a loaded question and because it was a loaded
question the dialog on this thread has quickly degenerated. If you do
not have any sorrow or feel any concern after reading this then sir
you are a stone. As the the aboriginal people of Australia fight a
battle for basic human rights people are trying to put them one step
closer to being "not quite human". This reminder of FACT does not
need references or quotes, and statement such as yours should be used
as a reference to all who argue that racism and/or indifference
between humans IS ALIVE AND WELL. I don't think anyone can explain to
you the pros of being human. Go ahead and stick you head in the sand
and continue to spout off to the world "BUT I'M NOT A RACIST OR
INSENSITIVE"! Why don't you go and shake your own racial tree
for cousins! I've seen so many hipocrites like you, you just keep
trying to make chicken salad out of chicken s#%t!
have a real bad life!
