Racist
This also applies very well to the cultural appropriation whiners.
We all use products of other cultures, get over it, or don’t get over it. I for one do not care about your whining.
It turns out that the entire exercise is a methodological disaster, with problems in the survey question premise and operationalization, its use by the Swedish economists and by Fisher, and, as an inevitable result, in Fisher’s additional interpretations. The two caveats that Fisher offered in his post – first, that survey respondents might be lying about their racial views, and second, that the survey data are from different years, depending on the country – only scratch the surface of what is basically a crime against social science perpetrated in broad daylight.
I hope a lot of you didn’t take this ‘tolerance map’ too seriously when it showed up on your Facebook newsfeed.
People can be lying in any survey, and a certain percentage of respondents probably are. However it is ridicules to discredit a survey by saying people could be lying but offering absolutely no evidence that they are doing so.
The issue of the data being from different years seems pretty typical from what I’ve seen in worldwide polls.Not every nation polls its population on every issue every year.
I’m not saying that I believe this graphic is totally accurate, what I am saying is that the criticism offered here is paltry to say the best.
Even though 50 Shades of Grey was written by a woman, for women, and is generally enthused about by women.
Good question, I never thought about it, but since you mentioned it i became curious.
According to the Wikipedia article “Jesus” is a Latin transliteration, occurring in a number of languages and based on the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs).
Morality without God, and God without morality.. Let’s take a look at a few things.
What is existence? Existence is obviously the state of being. In opposition to the craze of post-modern existentialism, I believe that we do in fact exist within one objective realm. We live in a universe…
I think we have a natural sense of morality. This stems from humans evolving from community animals. Community animals rely on members of the pack to behave in a manor that enhances the wellbeing of the pack. Individual pack members that work well with other pack members in activities such as hunting, defending the pack and raising offspring, get the opportunity to breed and pass along their ‘good’ genes. On the other hand individuals that are anti-social, overly aggressive, or otherwise harmful to the wellbeing of the pack are driven off or killed and do not get a chance to pass along their ‘bad’ genes. Millions of years of this process has given us an instinct to be good community members. We call this instinct our conscience.
Now we take all this inherent moral baggage we have ingrained in us and we form societies. This moral baggage then gets codified in our laws and our religions.
There are still white people putting braids in their hair.
Today.
Now.
Why??
Maybe because it’s their hair and their choice?
Why is this such a difficult concept?
“Everyone enjoys equal rights and equal treatment in America”*
*applies only to white, cis gendered, heterosexual, Christian, upper middle class men
I’m not saying that I disagree with you but I’d like a little more information. I’m a cis…
I do not have the right to marry who I want even if I am heterosexual. I cannot marry a person who is underage and I cannot marry more than one woman. In my opinion same sex marriage should be legalized on a federal level.
I’m not sure what being legally recognized as a male gets me, except having to register for Selective Service and possibly be drafted in the event of a war, yay me…
Some women do get slut shamed in rape cases but some men do get falsely accused of rape. I just saw a post that said, “I need Feminism No means No but sometimes Yes doesn’t mean Yes.” If a woman consents and a couple has sex, then later the woman says it was rape, where does the guy go to get his reputation back? Here’s an article about a guy who was cyber stalked by his ex-girlfriend. He was a teacher and she falsely accused him of being a pedophile. Even though he won a court case against her, his career as a teacher is over.
Regarding homo/trans phobic, I’d say while many Christians qualify, they are certainly not unique or the worst. In Muslim countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia homosexuality is against the law and punishable by imprisonment, corporal punishment and occasionally execution.
I know you said you are not going to speak for other countries, but I will. Using Saudi Arabia again as an example, women there do not have the right to drive or even to go out in public unless escorted by a man. That is oppression.
Certainly white men have wreaked a lot of havoc throughout history, but they are also responsible for many of our advances in medicine, technology, industry, art, science, literature, law, agriculture, and many other endeavors. If you are going to criticize the bad, you should at least acknowledge the good.
“Everyone enjoys equal rights and equal treatment in America”*

I’m not saying that I disagree with you but I’d like a little more information. I’m a cis gendered white male, not Christian, upper middle class.
What rights do I have that you cannot enjoy?
The line is clear
Right and wrong is always black and white, if you truly feel your straddling the line then I promise you your not on the right side. Morality should not be dictated by time nor by money nor by political stance but by every mans own moral compass that points them in the path of loving, protecting, and defending innocent lives to the greatest of there ability.

Interesting quote. I totally disagree with the first sentence and the beginning of the second sentence. I agree with the last part of the last part of the second sentence though.
Let’s get this straight: Not everyone is an athiest who doesn’t subscribe to a specific church. And two different athiests could have different beliefs, etc. So Let me outline the simple terms so you can call yourself what you are:
- Apathiest:
“I don’t care whether or not there is a God.”- …
I like this. I’d divide agnostics into hard and soft too though.
Hard Agnostic: We can never know whether God exists or not.
Soft Agnostic: There may or may not be a God, we just do not have enough evidence right now to determine.
