Yes, the most important racism out there is affirmative action.

there's not a significant social democratic left party in the US

...depending on your definition of "significant", of course.
http://www.therealdifference.org/issues.html

The most likely candidate for a social democratic party in the US is the Green Party
.
Bingo! The party's 2008 Presidential candidate constantly points to the failings of the Democrats (and, of course, those of the Republicans).

Yeah. But all those soldiers that are dying over there in the war are expected, right? We can just ignore all of those deaths, and just focus on the informants.

The information was leaked because it is critical that the voters know what they're supporting over there. Otherwise, we could be told that "everything is rosy!" and given the government control over media, we'd be none the wiser.

Do you really want to be in that position?

Nobody is saying that EU countries didn't do anything bad. The reason Africa is in such a state is largely because of France, Belgium and the Dutch.

Your claim that the US stops contries from going into revolt is an outright fallacy though. The US purposefully destabilises countries so that they can install their own business-friendly governments. Here are some links:

Guyana
Venezuela
Jamaica, Libya, Grenada, Nicaragua

I can find you some more if you still don't believe me when you're done with them.

I find it laughable that Slashdot would tolerate posters moderating their own comments positive. Isn't there a rule that the same IP may not participate in a dispute while moderating the discussion for leverage in opinion? That wiley "Funny" post was moderated-up using an obvious QBASIC script, no-doubt compiled in Windows Vista. Wait -- wait, I don't need to hear evidence that it was "Funny", I just need bias to know that I should laugh.I am laughing at you, Anonymous Coward. I am laughing at you because I am providing evidence as follows*

SM: When you say affinity to people of color, how is it directed?

BG: What the science and medical evidence concludes is that the HIV enzyme seeks out a receptor site in the blood of the Black genome. The receptor site is the CCR5 Delta 32+ (positive) gene that all people of color have. In the same sense, on the other end of the spectrum, is the 15 percent Caucasian population of the world, which is CCR5 Delta 32-(negative) gene. That means that under no circumstances, whether HIV came through the air, intravenous drug usage or any form of the sexual activity, would the virus be transferable in this sector of the world's population, which is basically of northern European descent.

It is speculated by some experts that, in a worse case scenario, 85 percent of the world's population could potentially perish under these designer viruses and designer synthetic biological agents. What we're looking at here--because of this identified gene of the Black genome, this CCR5 Delta32+ (positive)--we are potentially looking at the eradication of all people of color.

SM: Your statement reminds me of the year 1932, when Mr. Prescott Bush, the grandfather of the current president, convened the first international eugenics conference here in America. I understand this year was significant for other reasons. Could you explain?

BG: Many of us are aware that the Tuskegee experiment, where Black sharecroppers were injected intentionally with syphilis for the purposes of infiltrating syphilis into the Black genome. Some 60 years later, we could then say that Black people are scurrilous; syphilis runs rampant throughout Black people and, therefore, they are someone to be placed in a secondary capacity. That is particularly in line with the eugenics program where White births are encouraged and Black births are discouraged.

In 1932, the infectious agent of HIV was first tested on sheep in Iceland. That agent is called Visna. In 1932, in conjunction with the Tuskegee syphilis program, they were testing the infectious agent of HIV on an island nation. We have Visna as 30 percent of the sequences of the HIV here today. So, 1932 not only is significant for the start of a push for eugenics, i.e. a White birth order, but also the start of the testing of the infectious agent of HIV in AIDS.

The media [Hollywood, Television, All news but Fox] are all Liberal outlets. Once upon a time they pretended they didn't care; they don't do that anymore.

The rest of the USA [Colleges, Unions, Science] are all mind-frelled into thinking that by raising taxes, fairness happens. It doesn't.

So that leaves you as the one american with his head screwed on correctly?

And they think they're all so 'open minded' while throwing Oreo cookies at State Representative Steele (a negro) because he's Conservative, not because he's black. At least they're not burning books yet. Merely hiding them in every bookstore you go to.

I didn't throw cookies at anyone. Is it suddenly okay to accuse a whole half of the political spectrum for crimes a few individuals committed? Because if so I'd like to point out that you have these neandertals on your side

decades of "get tough" cheap politics have done little to make people safer, have run up huge bills

They aren't losing money. It's cheap prison slave labor. They're just exploiting the loophole in the 13th Amendment. Why do you think the US has far and away the largest prison population in the world? It isn't accidental.

That said, if you were a black kid living in a ghetto who would your parents tell you to be more wary of? Black guys most probably.

They don't even have to tell them. When they go in an elevator and they see the black ladies clutch their handbags tightly whenever a young black guy enters. Then when it's a white guy instead and the ladies don't seem to do the same thing, what do the kids learn?

I'm racist, but I'm also biased against lions. If I see a lion on the street, I'm going to perceive it as a threat. So what if the lion is actually not dangerous, I'm not going to bother finding out.

If I see an elderly black lady on the street, I'm not going to run away from her, I might even give her a hand if she needs help carrying her groceries.

But when I play an MMORPG and decide to help people, I don't actually take looks into consideration - I consider their level (I tend to help low levels), and how potentially annoying they might be - I tend to avoid helping people who whine a lot e.g. "Will someone please help me, this game sucks nobody helps". I don't even consider gender - a large proportion of the "females" are guys anyway. In fact I usually don't even see how they look before I decide to add them to my team - with Guild Wars, you just past their name in and click add, or accept their invite.

In my experience random humans looking for help with the game are usually less competent than the computer/game controlled NPC henchmen (that's why they're looking for help - most missions are quite easy).

Lastly, I find chinese/japanese/korean/taiwanese women more attractive (I don't know what race you'd call that look - oriental?). So yeah I'm racist :).

*shrug* Prehaps you can do a bit better then a strawman/ad hominen attack?

How about actually read the current news? Rather then a book written in 1776?

Big companies like Lenovo being bought out by China, or more recently the US government blocking China from buying Unocal (US blocking on average 10% of US companies being bought up by China).

US: But you did invade our property once. (Grenada)

UK: And you invaded ours (Grenada)

I'm willing to join you in winding this thread to a close, in no small part because I'm sure anyone reading it in the future has enough to decide for themselves which of us has the truth on their side. I just want to point out four issues:

In terms of freedom, apart from the issue of drugs, we have four times more people in prison today than in 1980. Is the crime rate and standard of living sufficiently better than it was in 1980 for you to claim with a straight face that the country has not become significantly less free? If not, just how exactly are you defining freedom?

Note that I'm not blaming right-wingers for exploding the size of the prison population, but rather the powerful influence of the prison guards' labor unions. I wonder whether that position suprises you any more than my opposition to property taxes.

Justice Department is allegedly considering a lawsuit against three Florida counties for unspecified voting problems -- and yet these lawsuits never materialized

On the contrary, the lawsuits were filed, based on many of the Commission on Civil Rights findings resulting in the statistic I quoted, although they have not yet filed charges related to the DBT purge of voter rolls based on the names of felons, which are still being investigated.

To answer your question about elections, yes, I think the spoiler effect is a much larger source of electorial inaccuracy than giving diverse parties representation proportional to their supporters, which is clearly more democratic than perminatly excluding them, no matter whether they are on the fringe or not. Especially since it is so easy to eliminate the spoiler effect, which not only cost G.H.W. Bush the presidency due to Ross Perot, and cost Gore Florida due to Nader, but also cost Bush four states due to Buchannon in 2000: New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin and Oregon.

On the issue of poverty, again, you are comparing salaries in Sweden to the cost of living in the U.S. I would be happy to discuss the issue in terms of child poverty as indicated by the experience of hunger, whether you care to use the USDA or the UNICEF definition of the term.
