There's nothing like a stirring fanfare to end an hour of intellectual perspiration!

'Excellent job I thought that was.'

Classic.

careful, people may call you a nazi!

[kainoachristian]

the behaviors of a race is the main result of parental influence who respect or reject an unjust authority or ethics that positions values in an odd manner of self-worth within a group worth which all aim to be "right" or viably suitable to a common goal of fairness or freedom.

[kainoachristian]

you're wrong. as humans evolved the utility for a language eventually came. and at those stages body behavior were very important for sounds, words. humans split at some point and that leads to the different geographical locations on earth which makes the different races you are speaking of.

[EnemyMindControl]

Language comes from race and origin, thus your arguement is flawed, as does behaviour. An alien that adpts itself to a more advanced society than theirs degenerates it, as has been proven by the state of Western Civilization today, it's obvious. Look at the Negroid societies in Africa, they still live in dung huts and eat each other. Everything originates from the race based on their intellect and nature.

[kainoachristian]

humans are shaped by their parental figures and their influences. language is a reflection of the communication that is first used, taught and spread around the location of that time. ethnicities group the humans and their origins into one, language is one part to their inherited language. the words connect to instances of thought, emotion, or sensations, hence language is only a common memory tool to label matter. the behaviors of one race depends on natural factors that you rejected.

[EnemyMindControl]

From races come cultures/societies. Multicultural societies as we are starting to see in Europe, Britain and the U.S. (all traditionally White societies I mind you) breeds enmity and hatred, while degenerating the organic culture based on homogeneity and common inherent traits which form the society.

I don't follow your point. You cannot argue against nature, and its mechanics based on the axiom of universal truth that is the foundation of life. Communism repudiates it all; thus unnatural.

[kainoachristian]

but humans are not birds, and the different species of birds is a metaphor like the breeds of dogs. saying that is not similar to comparing the races into groups with this overall diverse cultures. as far as understanding one another through language, it's pretty simple, name something and know the right time to use it in a sentence. the ball is red,die bal is rooi.(afrikaans)

[EnemyMindControl]

Yes, all one need do is open their eyes and look at nature. Cardinals w/ Cardinals. Bluejays w/ Bluejays and they act specifically to their inherent nature that is different than the Cardinal. Same w/ the specific races. Only someone that has no ability to reason would argue otherwise.
