		<description>No fact.  No logic.  Not surprised.  Exactly what I expected.  So you&#039;re a sophomore in what high school?</description>

		<description>no, I merely exist here to laugh at people like you who attempt to appear educated and intelligent when they really aren&#039;t.  Nice use of big words to try to spruce up your mediocre (oh heh, I&#039;m sorry &quot;intellecually honest&quot; lawlz) thinking.  I anticipate yet another vapid comment (or 10) by James Madison Tard, usually laced multisyllabic nonsense and racism.  You are so far beneath me that I refuse your &quot;invitation&quot; to &quot;participate&quot; in your banality.

What&#039;s your college degree in, by the way? (I&#039;m betting you don&#039;t have one).</description>

		<description>Jenna,

If you think you have the superior argument then post it.  I look forward to being buried in an avalanche of your supposedly superior understanding of fact and logic.  You must have posted to half-a-dozen topics attacking me rather than my argument by now so I anticipate yet another vapid reply rather than an intellectually honest examination of the issues but I remain hopeful you will surprise me with some small glimpse of a real intellect.  I’ve invited you to participate several times now.  If you cant’ act like a big girl you need to go outside and play so the adults can talk.

Since what I offered seems to have confused you I’ll try to reduce it down to a single sentence:

You can’t cure racism with racism.</description>

		<description>seriously... if you are going to refute his argument, use facts and intelligent discussion.  All you did is go off on some weird tangent about hate crimes.  Why do people think that James Madison Tard is intelligent?  He&#039;s just an uneducated ranter who can rattle off incoherent words (albeit a lot of them) that make no sense.  It&#039;s called non sequitor.</description>

		<description>Mr. Smith,

So you think it is okay for a White kid to be rejected from a college with a 4.0 GPA while a Black kid with a 3.5 is accepted?  It seems to me that both applications should be put in front of a committee as colorless numbers rather than linked to a particular racial group.  

Hate crimes legislation is every bit as ridiculous.  If some Skin Head shoots a Black kid without a family and calls him a “N” the racist gets twice as much time as a Black kid that kills me during a car jacking leaving my wife and child without a father or a source of income.  If you could explain the “logic” of this disparity I’d appreciate it because it escapes me entirely.

Dead is dead.  I don’t care what the guy says before he pulls the trigger.  A bat isn’t any harder when swung by someone that hates you.  A knife is no less lethal when it enters your flesh when held by someone that is stealing your wallet instead of despising your race, creed, color, gender, or sexual orientation. 

When we see the crime instead of the criminal and see achievement instead of who achieved it is when we will have realized Dr. King’s dream.</description>

		<description>this is all very interesting, but the reality is that all of the positions of high value and most  mid and low level jobs are held by white males. black unemployment is nearly twice as high as white males, white income is on average twice as high as black income and white wealth is 50 times higher than black wealth. whites control most of the levels of higher education  all of the banks and high level professions all of the energy, all of the auto production and heavy manufacturing industry, 99 % of all radio , television magazines and publishing houses in our country , virtually everything. So why do you begrudge blacks the few crumbs that they have been able to sweep up off of the floor from the enormous banquet that white America has consumed???</description>
