Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican?

Timothy McVeigh used his military training the wrong way so did the Arabic terrorists use their military training the wrong way too.

I have no problem with the innocent arabs who have absoutely nothing to do with terrorism.

I trust white people overwhelmingly more and that is not racist. There are some people of a different color skin I can really trust but for the most part, I prefer to be with white people. It is something that just comes natural and there is nothing wrong with wanting to be amongst our own. I am Deaf and I prefer to be with the Deaf community for many reasons, just like I prefer to be with white people for many reasons.

You prefer to be with white people? I guess I wouldn't be welcome in your neighborhood.

There are places in America where someone may not be welcome for a very good and protective reason.

There are many places that are neutral... like for example in the city where people go downtown, that would be considered neutral ground. You can meet there. People would not mind.

If you go into a neighborhood ... does not matter white black latino or asian and you are not amongst your own...then you better have a good reason for being there anotherwise they will ask you to leave first nicely then if that advice is not taken then another measures will have to be taken such as calling the police and if it is an emergency then the neighborhood bands together to stop that evil person out at that hour like 3 A.M. when he or she should be in their own home in their own neighborhood at that hour.

...The article references Genesis 9:5-6... I didn't recall God ever ordering capital punishment, so I looked it up. Turns out, God doesn't support capital punishment, at least not according to that passage.

Genesis 9:5-6 (KJV):
"5. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."

States quite clearly that one should kill those who kill--and that killing as a form of punishment in this way is the same as murder. ...

Just the opposite.

You just quoted the passages that prove God did command capital punishment.

God commanded that "whoso sheddeth man's blood" (the murderer), "by man" (the executioner) "shall his blood" (the murderer's blood) "be shed".

The statement is that killing is wrong, and no reasonably intelligent person would be able to understand anything else from that passage.

Murder is wrong, and that is why God pronounces such a serious punishment for it.

um just to step in and defend myself and others....please dont think that ALL southerners are this ignorant.

If you consider some one "out of place" just on the basis of race, then that is racist.

I would call the police on the basis of suspicious behavior, not on the basis of color.

Of course, what was the national status of Jesus? Arab?

Click to expand...

National status? Well, at the time that Jesus was born, the Holy Lands were under Roman rule. However, He wasn't born a Roman citizen. His natural mother was a Jew, and His legal father Joseph (as Mary's husband) was a Jew.

So do you have a sign at the entrance of your neighborhood saying white people only? All others will be shot?

Mookie said:

Yeah right. I am just a white dude married to my India wife. Many people think my wife looks like an Arab person. Care to explain?

Click to expand...

What is it you exactly want me to explain. I thought I made things very clear in my post so please take a moment to read it again. To assist you, I will quote part of it:

If ANYONE, no matter if they are white, black, Latino, Native American or little green men from mars, comes around the corner with a knife threatening my family, he's going to be in for a surprise.

Click to expand...

I could care less where your wife is from as it makes absolutely no difference to me, however if your wife (no matter her race) comes running at me with a knife and is attacking me and/or my family, I will defend myself and if she continues to charge me with a knife, she will be shot.

So, perhaps I'm being ignorant or I'm just plain stupid...what is it exactly you need for me to explain?

I do, however, appreciate your attempt to bait me, just as you are baiting Heath. What does my race or your wife's race have anything to do with this.

For your information, I'm not white but I love how you are trying to lump me into some confederate flag waving KKK member. But lets pretend for a moment that I was white...are you saying that I could only defend myself against a white male exactly my height and weight that was coming at me with a knife but I could not do the same thing if it was a black person, Latino, Asian, Middle Eastern....and in your world of all things being equal, I guess I would not be justified if it was a white male who weighed 20 pounds less than me because I was bigger than him?

Reiko, I don't know what world Heath is living in with his posts, but there are neighborhoods others should not go into. I know here in my city, there are neighborhoods where an outsider should not be going into, particularly at night. This is played in cities all across America. There are neighborhoods in Washington DC or Los Angeles I would not be going into by myself.

I wasn't talking about high crime neighborhoods. I was responding to heath's comments suggesting that I stay in neighborhoods with "my own kind"
So I guess I shouldn't move out into the country or suburbs unless I find a neighborhood that is all japanese.

It is just how things are.

I live 200-300 miles in the middle of No Where, Pennsylvania and if a black man is trying to pass through then he is considered to be escaping from prison because nobody who is black comes to visit a 100% white town 200-300 miles in the middle of no where, much less be getting gas for his car. The police will be notified of his presence.

You are right there are some bad neighborhoods that I do not even visit and have enough good sense to stay out of these bad neighborhoods in the big city.

Reiko, I wasn't disagreeing with you one bit and Heath's comments are off base.

I just wanted to point out that there are neighborhoods where one should not go into and unfortunately we live in a world that isn't always a happy place where everyone gets along.

The real world works in many different ways. There are some places that are just best to stay away from.

I think you guys are reading too much into my comments. It is just how things work and how things are.

BINGO! I'll go with the Southern Republician. In my own opinion:

I have no problems with Muslims. Look at the Middle East is like a torture place. Even humans abandoned on the streets treat them like roadkill. That is so disgusting...

Terrorists are evil period. Saddam will rot in jail. Osama will be caught and transport him to America and drop him off in NYC.

Heath said:

Yes, but those places are determined by the character of the inhabitants, not by their color. My non-white friends avoid dangerous neighborhoods, just like my white friends do. On the other hand, my non-white friends are welcome in the nicer neighborhoods, just like my white friends are. The reason they are welcome in the nicer neighborhoods is because they are nice people. The reason they avoid dangerous neighborhoods is because they are sensible. It has nothing to do with race.

I would probably be the Southern Republican...
