h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Does anyone think that PYT will come back..? Or maybe just create a new I.D and try to deny the fact that they made such an idiotic, childish, racist comment..?

Who knows where we all really come from anyway. I've no idea where my great grandparents were born or even what colour they were. Does it matter? I certainly don't think so.

If we all worked at being better people ourselves instead of criticising others because of their race or colour, the world would be a much better place to live in.

Now I've had my say, anyone for and ?

If the color of one's skin or the turn of one's nose, or the texture of one's hair determiones "race" then so does eye color and hair color.

Would anyone seriously suggest that people with red hair and green eyes can only mate with people with red hair and green eyes? No.

Would anyone SERIOUSLY suggest that black people should only mate with other black people, white people with white people, etc etc etc - *unless* they were totally nuts in the head?

No.

MUdhooks- change red and green to blonde and blue, and you'll see that some fanatics had sucha view a little over a haldf a century ago.

Yes, Egon, but those people were also nuts in the head!

az

oh, undoubtedly, I was responding merely to mudhooks point, as IU think the Nazis could be said to be "seriously suggesting" it. Nuts in the head, true. Serious, unfortunately also true.

The point I was making (and you have to remember it is morning, I have had a single coffee, and I was up until 3:30am) that suggesting that people sould stick to mating only people with their own skin color is about as moronic as suggesting that people could only mate with people with the same color of hair and eyes....

How I would ever find an albino, 6'11", 12-toed mate, I do not know... any takers?????

My Soulmate!

At Last!

But seriously - on the subject of racial behaviour for no good reason - have you heard of Jane Elliott?

A great subject for a hootoo entry, if ever there was one....

hi Mudhooks, my poor caffeine-deprived friend,

I was totally agreeing with you, just pointing out how this thing you mentioned would require the people suggesting it to be many bricks short of a full-load, ya know?

Me? Still looking for the perfect match who has snakes for hair and four heads. The search continues . . .

az

Now, you see.... I have no problem with Albino, 6'11", 12-toed people breeding with people with snakes for hair and four heads.

Brrrr.... Just thinking of what the children would look like (or am I being biased????)

"miscegenation, perhaps?" (anhaga, post 412 . . . my they build up fast)

-- another loaded term, but without the advantage of "Interracial Breeding", namely its ability to invite passing/googling potential ex-racists to the party . . .

Miscegenation - interbreeding of races, esp where differences of pigmentation are involved. From the Latin 'miscere' - to mingle + genus race.

So says Mr. Collins in my dictionary.

Minging? That sounds quite friendly to me.

I propose an h2g2 cocktail party where all of us hippie nerdo mutts can mingle to our hearts content - oh, maybe we're already doing that!

az

MINGLING I meant, of course

not minging!

az

I am personally quite partial to mingling myself, but I'm not sure that's really the issue in hand.

hi Mudhooks,

6'11, 12-toed, snake-haired, four-headed kids? For sure they'd look totally cute when they were young and then, like the rest of us, would later on have to find a way to get along in this crazy world of ours.

As long as they were loved - they would turn out just fine!

az

i'd venture to say that there is not one among the 6 billion plus of us on the planet that is not the result of interracial breeding.

yep, i am the product of interracial breeding and i am proud of it. pure genetics aside, the very place that you gain sustenance for changes your physical construct, therefore who you are.
