Ha, I'm not sure what to say, I'm certain that in a hypothetical world if they were all like you in any country I would make every pain to avoid such a place. Indeed, myself I'm not one for disclosing where I'm from to wonderfully perfect strangers. It was ignorance, then it became stupidity and now it's just sad... I wish there was something other than time and learning that could help you more immediately. Sorry. 

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@dibaterman Thought you weren't going to reply anymore, you feeble-minded little shit? See? You can't even stick to your own words. No conviction. Weak little white boy.

So there IS a situation, but you don't think you'd be attacked if you wandered through a slum in South Africa? LOL! I GUARANTEE you you'd be attacked, mugged and probably raped.

I already posted my argument on Islam, moron. Sigh... you're too stupid. How about you LEARN to READ? Yeah...?

@TheLagunaSunrise

No one said there wasn't a situation, I can't help it if your ignorance blinds you from the paradigm of social unrest in that region of the world. Feel free to gauge events by propaganda if you must but at least know when to know when you don't know. And you've already given yourself much too much credit if you think I've read more than I cared for your posts but if you want you could post a highlight of your argument on Islam. I might agree with it, it seems to matter to you

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@dibaterman I've never once said anything about race having anything to do with science. Please take your strawman elsewhere.

You are completely oblivious to the situation whites in South Africa are currently in. There's a saying which black South Africans regularly say to white South Africans when disputes get out of hand - "wait until Mandela dies". Now, what do you think that means? I find it sad how ignorant you are.

Notice how you ignored my argument on Islam? Yeah... run along. Dope.

@TheLagunaSunrise

My friend you are laboring under a grave misapprehension.

No scientist worth his salt would say that race has any biological support. Also I think it's sad you'd think because they were black they would have to attack me just because I'm white. Forget the skin color and just think about what that means.

Lastly I'll bow out here, my tip is read some more: "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." - Mark Twain

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@dibaterman Like I say... if you're white (of European descent) go take a walk through some South African slum & try to explain to your black attackers that "there's no such thing as race". See how far that gets you. Your hippy 60's, naive, liberalized, braindead mindset will only bring you trouble. Just wish I could be around to witness it. Also, my argument on Islam is baseless? LOL! You FOOL! Haha...

Oh and btw... if there's no such thing as 'race', it's impossible to be racist.

[dibaterman]

@TheLagunaSunrise

I'll bite, firstly there is no scientific way to prove race, further there is every bit of scientific reading available to disprove race. The only entomological ways to identify types of people are through linguistics, geography and culture. I won't be trapped here by your ignorance so I'll finish of by adding that lexo30 is on point that your argument is baseless. Just make one response that has a point so it can be argued and don't flop around the point in response.

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@lexo30 I will make this point again though, as it's certainly a very strong one to make - do you believe in women's rights, gay rights, freedom of speech & expression? If so, please explain to me women's rights, gay rights, freedom of speech & expression in the Muslim world? Also, name one Muslim country you'd rather live in than the country you currently live in (UK)? Let's see if you can do that. HA! WATCH you RUN... see? You're RUNNING. This topic is too much for your weak mentality.

[TheLagunaSunrise]

@lexo30 Again, all you're capable of doing is ignoring my questions/points, because you're terrified of entering a real discussion. Now you've started babbling on about "hard-ons". You're talking about nothing. I am making discussion, which you are terrified of responding to.

Now you've run off, which is exactly what I knew you'd do. This 'argument' went precisely how I predicted. You are typical. Ignoring me only proves me correct. You have no argument. Thanks. :-)
