Most of Europe occupied, London bombed into the stone age; things were looking grim Chris! Maybe you should read up on some WW2 history, it's quite humbling to think what *could* have happened. > Some people in Australia are still racist, but racism is > nothing like the problem it is in America, where you boast > so much of equality. Where do you get your info about America, from CNN? And for someone who is a self-described "Aussie" you sure seem to know more about Americans than Americans know about themselves... hmm, another enigma! Chris, one thing you need to understand about America is that a whole grievance industry exists to perpetuate hate. And sadly, most Americans are too stupid to realize this. You see, a divided people are not going to cause the rulers any troubles because they are too busy fighting amongst themselves -- the same effect is employed in prison populations to protect the guards. In ancient Rome, the Caesars used games and bread to control the masses, today, they use the grievance industry and, for the complete moronic zombies, sporting events. All "isms" and social problems just boil down to hate. And since you can never remove hate from the heart of man, you will *NEVER* solve these issues. The best you can hope for is to reduce the levels a bit via "intelligent interventions". So in short, none of these issues will ever be solved until people realize who the real enemy is -> themselves. MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL, WHO'S THE MOST JUDGMENTAL OF THEM ALL? ============================================================ The origins of xenophobia: ============================================================ In order to defeat our own hatred of others, we must circumvent our per-programmed primal fears, which is not easy to do, and while these fears play a vital survival role in *early* development of both the *individuals* of a group AND the group itself, in modern times, these fears have become a crutch preventing humans from evolving socially. HENCE THE GRIEVANCE INDUSTRY PERPETRATED BY A MEDIA CIRCUS THAT WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RATINGS! ==================== THOUGHT EXPERIMENT ==================== Imagine your a small kitten: innocent, carefree, and full of curiosity! You love exploring the world, stuffing yourself into boxes, climbing to high places, and chasing balls of strings -- ah what a life! You see your siblings and notice they have fur like you , and whiskers like you, and paws and tails and blah like you. And you are comfortable because these other "lifeforms" resemble you, and so you consider them to be "safe". Then one day, whilst frolicking in the backyard, you see a glimmer from under a log, ooh, whats this you ask rhetorically...? So you get closer to inspect, and you see two eyes, and you think, hmm, it has two eyes just like my bothers and sisters so it must be safe...! And so you get yet closer, but just then you start to notice some differences, whoa, this thing has no fur, it has no paws, and no whiskers, and it has strange patterns on it's back and it's making a rattling noise, oh well, no need to let fear get in my way, i'll just go over and introduce myself... AND THAT WAS THE END OF "FLUFFY THE KITTEN"! MEOW! You see, since hate is merely an extrapolation of xenophobia, which is itself a per-programmed reflex utilized unconsciously to protect an organism from self destruction via *utter* ignorance of dangerous predators, we are fighting a losing battle when we expect the vast majority of earths "intelligent" inhabitants, of which most are zombie-fied *idiots*, to violate their own source code. JUST GO GRAB A BEER AND WATCH THE GAME YOU BEER-BELLIED FOOL! PS: That was a "general" you, not to be taken as a literal statement to Chris. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
