@aetheldod:

I don't mean to undermind your experience but you're generalizing your experience as a child from an interracial couple to every child of an interracial couple. Also, I'd imagine anyone who is in a minority group dislikes themselves at some point. For example, I imagine and have heard that many LGBT people don't like themselves. But that doesn't mean they are wrong for being who they are. I would argue that minorities often feel bad about themselves because societies often do very little to accept them often kicking and screaming when they do. Everyone has the right to exist and to be whomever they want to be. And I do mean EVERYONE.

He is wrong. Your second sentence proves my point. If certain races are genetically less susceptible to certain disease, then it's in the best interest of Human kind to interbreed with other races and spread the gene that gives them immunity. Racial "Purity" does far more harm than good in the long term.

@darji: @mariachimacabre He's right about the "advantages" part, not so much the doom and gloom scenario he's picturing once the world becomes "one color" which will never happen for numerous reasons.

The difference is, and the reason why that's funny, is that he's pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation, and makes a point to say that there's nothing funny about rape. He isn't making light of that terrible act, he's pointing out how absurd it is.

I would be all for forming an Anti-KKK tolerance group that just uses all of their dumb D&D ranks. Just to make them mad.

I just always appreciated the irony in the fight for "Aryan Purity" and "keeping the race pure" and all that hooey when one of their defining traits is unnatural and the result of an impurity.

praise be to you, grand cleric!

@mariachimacabre: As far as I understand him he wants to build some kind of super race which is ethically questionable for sure but he is also right to think that. When we actually could decode your genetic code people would exactly try that to accomplish. How many people dream of not being sick anymore or about to a very very long life or certain traits like being a genius etc. If we actually knew how to do that we would certainly try that. ANd one way for certain point would be the breeding thing.

@ RollingZeppelin If I say in a very certain way to my friend that I will rape him in his sleep for example" it would be also ridiculous because he knows that I will not do that at all. I would for example never laugh at someone who has been raped and say "HAHA" but again comedy should be otherwise fair game if you make fun of groups and not certain people.

Yeah. But, sadly, Neo-Nazis will never see the irony. They think they were made by Thor or some shit.

Well there was that one episode of... Deep Space Nine or TNG that implied that all the major humanoid race of Star Trek are all descended from one ancient alien species. And then I guess the implications were too deep to even try to incorporate that into the universe so it was quickly forgotten about. But it explains why every alien the love-boat Enterprise runs into is compatible for boning. Still doesn't explain why federation officers are so damn horny though.

So really it's not even interspecies. They're just really far-off cousins.

But you don't make a "super race" by keeping all of the races seperate. All that does is recycle the genetics. It's a literal stagnant genetic cesspool. No new genes pop up in a stagnant gene pool. You need interbreeding for that to happen.

You need interbreeding with certain races and types. Not anyone with everyone. again it is ethically very very questionable .

Ethically questionable to include everyone regardless of race? Wut?

No to only be allowed to breed with certain types and races despite you love the person or not. Which we by the way are doing with dogs or horses^^

Also no one caught this, but in the first post the dude implied interracial relationships led to pedophilia and in the next post he made he implied they led to statism.

What's next, do interracial relationships lead to pacts with the devil? Excessive masturbation? No wait, I got it. Interracial relationships will lead to same sex relationships! OH NO!

Your example is fine because it's clear that you are just being overtly offensive. But making fun of groups is still wrong unless you make it clear that your joke is about how ridiculous it is that people think that way, or your underlying or implied point is how wrong it is. This is how comedians like Louis CK and Daniel Tosh (I do believe that rape joke Tosh made was poorly executed, the woman was not familiar with his style and didn't understand that he's playing a persona of a terrible person on stage, if you are genuinely laughing at his bigotry-based jokes, you are a terrible person) do it. Otherwise it is not cool.

The same as any other?

The only, and I do mean the only, people I've ever met who had a problem with interracial relationships were meatheads assembling a pipeline in Nevada who were brought in from the dark South.

Who you fall in love with is your business. Anybody that is opposed to a relationship because it's homosexual or interracial is scum in my eyes.

That fact that this is still an issue just proves that, as a society, we're still brain dead retards. If tomorrow we developed interstellar flight and found alien life that was more advanced technologically and culturally than we are they'd think we still lived in caves.

I do not laugh at many shit I am just not offended by it. I will probably say that was dumb or lame but I would not laugh at most of this stuff.

You're off a few decades, sadly. Interracial marriage was restricted in parts of the US until 1967 (Loving v. Virginia). And it was considered a big problem much, much later than that. In fact, it probably still is by most people, unfortunately. The good news is that those people get to have far less options for who'll have sex with them (nobody outside their race, and nobody with an ounce of intelligence or compassion), and they'll eventually all die out. In the long run, we win.

You're right. It is. That's why EnduranceFun is wrong. Humans chose to divide themselves by race. We're all the same species and the species matters more than the race. @endurancefun can argue against my interracial relationship all he wants with his pseudoscience but I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT RACE. No one should. We are Homo sapiens first. Race doesn't factor into my daily life. I'm a Norwegian, Russian and German-American man who's dating a woman of Chinese and Czech anscestry. The last thought in my mind is "Boy I sure hope I'm not polluting my race." And that thought doesn't even deserve to see the light of day. Humans will not survive if we isolate ourselves by race and inbreed. Nothing good can come from that. Genetic diversity is what will help us move forward as a species.

Just for the argument for breeding within a race/breed in regards to animals

It's already shown animals we use or house through generations of genetic engineering (breeding) are and have been developing large defects and physical problems, Horses are prone to heart attacks and Bulldogs heads are so large now there are birthing difficulties and arthritis.

Interbreeding wins in the long run.

You know i heard a while back some politician claimed exercise can repress or erase homosexual feels, same difference i say.

Yep. Look at Retrievers. All that inbreeding makes hip dysplasia almost a certainty for them.

@endurancefun: The fact that people, in this day and age, share your opinion depresses the fuck out of me. My only solace is that you are in the vast minority. Also, it may help you to understand that science is based on demonstrable evidence and your statement that you don't believe in it is in-and-of-itself completely illogical.

@mariachimacabre: I would think so as well. If you love someone the last thing that should matter is what race or color this person has. But he is not going the emotional route he is trying to be as scientific as it is possible for him towards the whole topic..

If you want to create a super race you have to be very specific about what races and types breed with whom but if you are in love with someone you just do not care^^

@gokaired Yeah because they did not know the genetic code. If they would know this and know how to maniipulate it it would "benefit" these dogs in the way we want them to be.

Oh I wasn't implying *you* in the bit about Tosh I was using it in the impersonal sense.

@rollingzeppelin: Oh thought you meant if I find this funny I am a terrible person. Sorry my English is not that good so I can misunderstand some stuff XD

@darji: That's cool I was wondering as I was typing it if I should rephrase that sentence.

No he isn't. His goal isn't to create a super race. His goal is to keep the races seperate to preserve their "culture". This is exactly what the KKK says whenever they show their dumb selves in a large city or a town they know they're not welcome in. It's softer language in order to convince people but it's just standard racism and bigotry.

Didn't he say to prevent diseases and other harmful stuff? Culture has nothing really to do with that. if he means culture is is certainly wrong.

Oh my god this thread is just as bad as that other thread.

Well, I didn't need to follow that many people anyways.

No. I mentioned preventing disease. The more we share, genetically, the more likely we are to build up genetic immunity to disease.

Had to stop by to see the train wreck.... and here it is.

Fucking really, guys? Jesus.

Well, I'm the byproduct of a 25 year old interracial relationship, so my opinion on the matter should be pretty obvious. Also, why hasn't EnduranceFun been banned yet?

I'm fucking done

But are you not making those same "Bigots" feel uncomfortable too? How is it any different? I don't believe in God, but I respect that others do, and know it is not my place to convince other people so.

You can spend your whole life being convinced that someone somewhere in the world thinks some other way then you. But what will it change if he thought like you?

Time and energy wasted, fighting wars, posting on forums because some person, who will likely never ever change his mind. Thinks differently.

If you want to use that energy for something good, then do something great.

Because there's a difference between not believing in a religion and believing that one group is inferior to another based on traits that they have no control over. Those kinds of people do real harm. And they should be challenged for it. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism etc. They're all antiquated lines of thinking that have no place in modern society and they need to be challenged as the hate that they are.

I wish something would stop the endurancefun.

@dagbiker: sitting back and saying nothing never solved a problem.

Indeed, sitting back and saying nothing is what allows narrow-minded idiots to spread their poison further.

Lol at the guy who said some african people are immune to malaria 'cause they're black, and not 'cause they, and their ancestors, have lived in malarial zones for years and year.

tee hee

Me too.

It's really to bad that this even needs to be asked. I'm not saying you're bad for asking, I just wish I lived in a world where no one would even need to think twice about it.

sorry .w.

god dang it endurancefun

i'm actually pretty excited to be on a board where someone is bravely considering that me and my wife will produce a race of sewer mutants. I'm all "go forth my blob children!!! the kingdom of man shall soon be yours!!! hiissssssss!!!"

HISSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I said they are immune because they live in Africa. I said they are more immune to heat strokes etc because they are black which again is a result of living in this area to be able to survive.
