Hi o sung wu,

I wish you the very best, in forum retirement. I regret our recent conflict, which was inappropriate and unnecessary, I sincerely mean that.

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is the one word that brings us peace." Buddha

To O Sung Wu

I'll miss you mate.

I'll imagine you watching the debate as we struggle.

Please look in on us every week or two.

I hope you like the verse below...

“Many a wassail-bout
Wore the long Winter out;
Often our midnight shout
Set the cocks crowing,
As we the Berserk’s tale
Measured in cups of ale,
Draining the oaken pail,
Filled to o’erflowing."

See you soon!

ttbn,

There are many races, the Equine, the Feline, the Canine etc; we happen to belong to the Human Race, which is divided into sub-groupings (as are the other races) but the distinguishing feature of any race is that they can breed only with members of the same race; although this may not be strictly true of the genus Ovis in New Zealand.

All members of the human race can breed together although, for health reasons, some should not do so.

Race, used to distinguish differing groups of the human race is a myth, moreover a myth that is long past its use by date.

Poor comprehension on your part ttbn; "I (Toni) said that anthropologists don't use the four race model that you described." and that's what he said; "No, they (anthropologists) don't (use the four race model). And they haven't done for about 70-80 years now."

Toni did not say that for “70-80 years now” there has been no such thing as 'race', he simply said your four race model was out of date and has not been in use for 70-80 years. He did not say if anthropologists use some other race model, or no race model at all.

You really are dense, Paul. This is what Toni said (his entire post) and that is what I referred to:

"Most anthropologists divide the world's population into for major races - white/Caucasian; Mongoloid/Asian; Negroid/black, and Australoid.// (That's him quoting me). Then he said:

No, they don't. And they haven't done for about 70-80 years now. Science changes over time. Apparently not everyone keeps up.

Don't worry about it Paul, ttbn and his sycophantic sidekick Yappy Chihuahua are not what you'd call the sharpest pencils in the box.
