Hello Ginx 'EXCUSE ME??..'lesser' races!! Who says?'

Who says otherwise and where's the proof?

'Christian all-men-are-the-same? WOT'? Are you blind?? Not on OLO they're not!' Care to explain? Your post was somewhat enigmatic.

Banjo: Rot eh?

Like you; I put my view. I think your view is rot. It's in the eye of the beholder isn't it?

JSP1488: OK. Fair enough. I'll be clear. Explain to me WHAT is your version of a lesser race, and WHY?

I have yet to see an all-men/-equal thing from a Christian; 'specially here!

Is that less enigmatic?

Ginx, isn't it enigmatic to answer a question with a question? I asked ‘Who says otherwise and where's the proof?’ to which you replied ‘Explain to me WHAT is your version of a lesser race, and WHY?’ Once you get round to actually answering my question, I’ll be happy to answer yours. BTW, were your capital letters little ‘shouts’?

As for 'I have yet to see an all-men/-equal thing from a Christian; 'specially here!', just because you don't think that it applies to this forum thread doesn't mean that it doesn't apply in the real world. There is another life outside of the internet.

Actually, JSP there is no such thing as a "lesser" race. The proof is in genetics, apart from some superficial cosmetic differences emphasised by separation in tribal groups by virtue of geography and history, the genetic variation of human beings is pretty similar across the board. The "pollution" of Romans mixing with southern Mediterranean races never happened, Romans mixed with other races all the time, in fact the Romans were supposed to be immigrants to the Italian peninsula themselves. There are many more reasons that the Roman Empire changed and fragmented, racial mixing is just one that was made up.

I am a Christian who mixes with all races of people who also are Christian we work well together.

It is not race or skin colour that forms culture, it is persons world views.

The fact that almost one whole race eats hot curry is because of local culinary customs. That one culture does not eat beef is not based in skin colour but in world view. My best friend is dark skinned Indian and we BBQ beef regularly. He does not hold cows as sacred. Both he and I can eat curry, though I believe his taste buds have been destroyed.

Customs can be based in local attitudes like not handing food to an asian by the left hand. However in Australia these customs observed in the old country are modified otherwise they would take offense.

We must uphold all men are equal, however not all personal habbits are equally hygenic or based in a good understanding of reality.

I'll do it my way; you do it yours. So I'll make this very un-enigmatic. I will respond to any post as I choose to. I would have thought a couple of things were obvious though....

It isn't for me to prove a negative.
It is for you to provide evidence of such a statement, which you chose to put here.
It comes as no surprise though, that you twisted the thing around to avoid answering. That is your choice.

On the Christian thing, I suspect we are at cross purposes. No matter.

There being another life outside the internet has come as a complete surprise...., though you have perhaps inadvertently raised another issue.
Do you not believe that internet correspondence IS part of the real world?
As for capitals/shouting;- I promise to text them quietly next time..

Thank-you Philo.(Btw: Curries don't destroy the tastebuds!)
