    just wondering is there is some kind of limit and if are all people equal ?

    i have notice anti Jewish slurs and anti Blacks slurs are dealt with pretty fast , which is not a case for others.

    all people are equal, but some people are more equal then others ?

    You haven't been reading the forum very much then, because there's a lot of anti-Black and anti-Jewish slurs that are allowed to stay up...

    Also the anti muslims.

    But this gets ignored by the mods as posters use the word "islam" to denounce arabs/mulsims.

    Which for some reason gets a free pass.

    In fact the rules are very random on this foum. If they were applied by the rules i have been pasted by the mods. This site would be very different. I gather the lack of rule enforcement is why it is so popular.

    Jews and blacks have "special" status; jews because of "The Holocaust", and blacks because they were enslaved or colonized.

    I would like to think that all people should be treated equally, and none of the races should have special privilleges.

    Especially in the tax-payer funded American universities that intentionally discriminate specifically against white applicants, and where professors who blatently advocate for the destruction of the white race are championed.

    *(and by "equally", it should be noted that I am a believer in the "equal but separate" philosophy)


    There are some differences of opinion over what actually constitutes a "slur".



    The problem is not so much the actual religion as it is the culture that pervades it— a culture of disrespect and abuse towards women, and which holds intolerance towards anything that goes against their religion. And by "culture", I do not necessarily mean to exclude the possible correlation with statistical differential genetic propensities.

    the rules are pretty clear and I find this site to be fair compared to others.

    I got banned on another site for saying "Jew land" instead of "jewish land" If I would have said mexican land nobody would even blink..... Whats sad is I have been a supporter of Israel all my life. Some sites you can not say anything bad against them period.

    They labeled me a racist and banned me for 6 months. On that same site, they had long running threads about killing mexicans and mulsims. With the latter happening a lot.

    as it is there was no way to apeal and thats that.

    In many western societies, anything thing that could even remotely be construed as criticism towards jews is taboo. This even includes self-described jewish organizations that are active in politics. One can make complain about blacks all they want, but as soon as they mention "jews", a lawsuit and sensationalized media coverage is sure to follow. (Yet there are 7 times more blacks in the USA than jews) Now you have to ask yourself why this is...


    I have read that the people in the American state of Oregon blatently hold "racism" (for lack of a better word) against people from California.

    I see, but what has that got to do with posters showing disrespect and racism/bigotory on this forum directed at muslims?

    I do not believe that a Somalian Pirate with IQ-Score 60 and a Nobel Prise Winner with IQ more as 140 are really equal. Sorry.Let this politically correct fairy tales be flashed down the toilet.

    Are this guys really equal?

    No reason to compare apples and oranges as a veil to be blatantly racist.

    What about Neil Tyson eh?

    If every kind of slur were deleted from this place, there wouldn't be much left at all.

    Just saying...

    the jews and the blacks were oppressed the most in history so they are entitled to special considerations imo.

    agreed but it has to be measured on a sliding scale, they may come in 3rd or 4th for considerations not too sure

    The native Americans got it pretty bad too...

    The topic of people being granted special treatment purely based on their race, religion, gender, etc is a touchy issue. I do understand why some groups get certain perks, like native Americans getting free college, and I do support that, but I think we need to take an honest look at things and ask ourselves how long it will go on. Surely thousands of years from now no one will even think twice about such distant history. Well, they'll hopefully learn lessons from it, but what I mean is that the atrocities that have happened in more recent history will at that point be so far back in time that it won't be relevant to the modern times. Do we ever think about the slaves in ancient Sumer? Probably not, unless you're in an ancient history class at Oxford or Harvard. Do we ever think about how Rome exterminated the Carthaginians (modern day Tunisia)? Not really. As bad is it may sound, a time will come when no one cares anymore because it was so long ago. Plus, who's to say in 10,000 years we all won't be the same skin color? LOL

    Since no mods have censored the above ^ statement.

    The rules on this site are very lax. Maybe only for show.

    Most people will read a racist post like this and not realize it's racist.

    You don't deserve any special treatment or reparations because of your skin color. Get over it. Stop asking for something and do something for once.

    I've noticed that too. I got warned for using the word Zionazi, however posters say much more offensive/disrespectful things to me, about Muslims and Arabs, that rarely if ever get removed (I'll admit, I don't often report people, but I assume the mods see those posts as well)...

    You're point was kindly proven by the following post...

    Your warning was probably the result of more than simply using the term "Zionazi". A quick search of this forum shows no less than 67 posts containing that term. Are you certain that you didn't refer to another member here as a "Zionazi"?

    The rules are fairly easy to understand. You can say "Islamonazis suck", "Christonazis suck", "Zionazis suck", etc. but you cannot call another member any of those names. I don't know why people have such trouble distinguishing between the two.

    Quite frankly, you seem to be getting away with breaking the rules so I don't see where you have room to complain about anything:

    The Mission Statement of the forum says this (my added bold):
    Members are allowed to express any opinion, even if others don't like that opinion, or believe it to be 'racist' in its basis. However, the rule on flamebait says this:
    While members are free to post opinions which others may consider to be 'racist' or based on 'bigotry', they are not allowed to do so in a manner designed purely to inflame others, and nor are they allowed to simply post extreme racist (or similar) abuse.

    They are also, of course, not allowed to post any derogatory comments aimed at other members:
    If members wish to express opinions which others may consider to be 'racist', they are not prevented from doing so, but they must do so in a discussive (not abusive) manner, and in compliance with the forum rules (and others must respond to them in the same manner).

    This is a very, very large forum. Moderators cannot possibly see every post which is made, and we don't see every post which is made - it should certainly not be assumed that we have 'seen and ignored' a post which violates the rules. If a member sees a post which they believe violates the rules, they should report it, and not respond to it 'in kind' (that only causes an escalation of problems - each member is responsible for their own posts, and 'but he violated the rules first' is not considered a valid excuse!). We try to deal with as many reports as we can as quickly as we can, but members should also be aware that the staff are all volunteers with 'real' lives of their own, and have limited time, so cannot always respond to and deal with reports instantly (and we often get up to 100 reports a day to deal with, and dealing with them takes time!).

    As for how many rule violations it takes to get banned, that depends entirely on the member. More serious violations will obviously result in more serious actions, but the purpose of moderator actions (post edits, deletions, warnings, infractions, thread bans, etc.) is ALWAYS to try to get members to improve their posting behaviour in the future. We are not here to 'censor' or 'punish' members, but simply to try to get everyone to post within the rules, so that this can be, as it is intended to be, a place for 'respectful debate'. Members are permanently banned ONLY when it becomes clear that they have no intentions of making serious efforts to comply with the forum rules and the spirit of the forum's Mission Statement, and have therefore left the moderators with no choice. Each member is responsible for their own posts, of course, and each member is entirely responsible for the consequences of their own actions if they choose not to obey the forum rules.
