Think about what your saying...

Tolerance..... sounds nice but its not realistic...

Tolerance = intolerance.

How about people just need to stop careing what others think about them?

If you dont like me im not going to lose any sleep over it. If you dont like me thats your problem not mine and if you dont like me because of race, religion, creed ect then your a fool and I wouldnt want to know you anyways.

Liberals have this problem with trying to control people, what for? do you really think liberalism can cure bias?

Me, I have some bias but I understand and can make sense out of patterns and I'm not going to dismiss on going "trends" just so I dont look bias.

Heres a great example and they are my opinions and this is America and the last time I checked I have rights to opinions..

I think Arab Muslims are more likely to blow up cars then Christians

I think minorities who live in the ghetto are the cause of 90% of gun violence commited against another.

Now I dont hate Muslims or minorites because they are Muslims or minorities but I just see the trend from with in there communities. Now, should I just ignore it? NO, because I can read a paper and I'm from Chicago and see what minorites do to there own communities on a daily basis.

I truely think that the majority of people dont have a true bias bone in their body, I dont....

If I was really bias or racist I just wouldnt care and would go with the flow.. The thing is I do care and I want to see the legal minorites do well but any time anyone says anything about them race cards are thrown like 52- pick up.

I would love nothing more then a world where people dont fight (hockey I can deal with lol) but I know its not realistic and I know there is what 7 billion people on this planet fighting for one form of supremacy or another weather is geographical or racial ect it doesnt matter.

Some of you liberals need to walk up to a lion and ask why he eats the cubs that arent his own before mating with the lioness?

Darwin gave us the answer to our social being 100 years ago.
