No, she could show you. I could show you. Any number of people have already tried to show you. Trouble is you are not here to learn from or even to listen to what other people have to say, you are here to win the argument. It is beyond you to look at what other people have posted and say 'ok, I see where their actions might be construed as ignorant, racist, and needlessly provocative.' If winning is your only goal, you will not listen to reason; which is why you are not worth engaging in any serious debate.

Are you kidding? Are you here to listen? That must be why you say "dude, go away" anytime I say something you don't agree with. I'm all for open discussion, but people on here would much rather paint me as a bigot or ignorant for not agreeing with them. I've said several times I think it was probably a stupid and classless act, but I guess not using terms like "racist" or "ignorant" obviously means I'm not taking this seriously enough.

Winning isn't my goal, its just the typical byproduct.

Not to you.

Which is why I write this.

If their actions are stupid and classless, why are you attempting to defend them?

I'm not attempting to defend them. Apparently you have some difficulties with literacy. I'm opposing the idea that the act was out of hatred.

It doesn't surprise me that you're not interested in listening to my views. Typically, people who are afraid of differing viewpoints aren't interested in such things. I think its probably out of a complete inability to debate intelligently.

And still, not once have I questioned your intelligence or suggested that you are inept. But that is your crutch; the sad thing is you probably don't even realize it.

I didn't question your intelligence, I questioned your ability to debate intelligently. Plenty of intelligent people cannot to do that.

With that I'll stop arguing with you unless its about the main topic. I don't really have a desire to get into a personal battle unless it is over something legitimately interesting. I find the topic interesting, but it appears as though you do not. Or at least you don't have anything to say about my theories regarding the situation, either way.
