Those are nice textbook politically correct answers that I expect everyone will answer with.

Don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer. If you want to see people answering it with true hate and racism, ask it on a KKK board.

I said ask YOURSELF the question, I never asked for anyones answer. I even said "Be honest with yourself, no one knows your answer but you"

See the difference between that and "tell me your honest answer, I can't wait to hear it!"

Yeah very easy to just say "I would be fine with it", but since I have dated outside of my race I honestly think I would be.. hard to say though without actually being a parent myself yet. I don't know, if I enjoy a person's company I will disregard a lot of differences and not really care if the person is rich or poor, well educated or not, old or young, male or female etc. But again, I guess that is the PC answer.

WTF. People give honest answers and you start doubting them right away. It doesn't have to be a secret. I have no self doubt in this matter.


And you didn't answer my comment about education and wealth being a factor.

I did not doubt anyone, I just honestly dont expect anything other than those answers.

There is no grand reason why I mentioned education other than to silence the people that may say "I would want my daughter to bring home someone who has goals in life or a good education". No consipracy, take that line out if you wish, I don't care. It's just a question that you ask yourself after all. Edit it however you wish.

Those were my nice guy answers, now suck my cock, all of you.

It's like this man stepped out of a time machine - to the turn of the (american) 20th century (yes I know eugenics was first in scandanavia in the 1700's).

Hitler was big on eugenics as well.

Don't be asking questions that you expect to only be answered in your head on a discussion board bitch! :twisted:

Give it time. I bet someone will crack under the pressure and admit that they'd be upset if their darling daughter X hooked up with race Y.

A more productive question would have been, "what do you plan to do to raise your children as free from racism and religious influences as possible?"

I freely admit I would not be too happy if my daughter brought home an Indian dude. I'm workin on that though. I guess it's more economics than anything, before this outsourcing bullshit I considered Indians just like I did anyone else.

And you giving me advice on what not to post here is pretty funny.

Indian dude is just trying to make a buck like everyone else. Don't be mad at Indian dude. Indian dude probably works twice as hard as the person he's replacing and it's not his fault that the opportunity is there for him to take a job.

The liberals can pick it up from here and bash Bush about why Indian dude is taking away someones job here in the U.S.

Of course I realize that he is just trying to make a living. There is nothing logical about racism, or economics-ism, or whatever it is I felt against him. He's most likely got a family to support and I dont blame him for earning money.

-edited to be nice.

(edited after Krimson's edit)

Ultimately it's probably your fault as much as anyone elses in the U.S. for why we are outsourcing.

Americans are resource hogs, expect high pay for half assed work, and want lots of vacations and sick days. Something's got to give. Who's up for working harder for less pay and paying higher prices to keep jobs in the U.S.? Company executives want too much of the pie which is also part of the problem.

Anyway, my uncle is about to lose his job to someone in India. He is currently training the person in India that's going to replace him. He makes a little over 100K/year. I wonder what Indian dude will be making.

I am not racist - I am however "sexist."

If I am alone, and men are walking behind me, of any race - I feel uncomfortable.

Besides being my favorite short essay, The Conscience of a Hacker/Hacker's Manifesto has all sorts of references to discrimination with the main one being:
We explore... and you call us criminals.
We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals.
We exist without skin color, without nationality, without
religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.


Best...essay... ever! It's honest, blunt, and provides an eye opening perspective on what they thought was just a juvenile delinquent out to do damage.

It's a powerful example of the positives the internet and computers can have on eliminating discrimination by "judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like." It even hits on the shortcomings of our education system.

If nothing else, you should glean out of the essay that flaming what people say and think is more powerful and scarring than flaming their looks, religion or nationality!

The following was written shortly after my arrest...

\/\The Conscience of a Hacker/\/
by
+++The Mentor+++

Written on January 8, 1986
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...

Damn kids. They're all alike.

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?

I am a hacker, enter my world...

Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

Damn underachiever. They're all alike.

I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."

Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me...
Or feels threatened by me...
Or thinks I'm a smart ass...
Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...

Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..."

I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals.
We explore... and you call us criminals.
We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals.
We exist without skin color, without nationality, without
religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

What somebody said earlier I completely agree with. I am way more likely to judge someone on what they say/how they behave than their race. And I must admit I can judge that harshly at times. So I know I have my flaws and am intolerant about some things, but I don't think race is one of them..
