    I sense a certain balance of dour countenance and frustration in SmashysmashY's posts thats very erotic.

    I did not claim that it was racism. Racism is systematic. If everyone got together and said 'let's not offer any service to race x' that would be racism. This is just bigotry and I said everyone has a right to be a bigot.

    Not dating redheads has nothing to do with this. Now if you said 'I don't like redheads therefore I will not date caucasians' Then you would be speaking of something similar.

    I am a very nice person and have not attempted to denigrate you in any way. I simply pointed out the flaws in your argument. I hope that you will not take this personally and lower the discussion to name calling.

    A real antique definition of logic, that doesn t work most times.
    Truth often ist just a point of view and preferences are an even more delicate topic.

    Logic is a thing that can t work when it comes to human relationships because human beings are highly illogical (because of disturbing stuff like emotions etc).
    Being emotional handicaped makes me often wonder about peoples behaviour (I don t really understand love or hate for instance, they trigger highly confusing actions imho).

    Sure there are a lot of people that are driven by flawed assumptions about other "races" (don t like that word at all in this special case) thats mostly made up from education and single bad personal experiences (another really interessting mechanism many human beings like to "use")

    I don t think this cultural problem can be solved by laws or anything like that. It s a matter of time and by that I mean a lot of time. It s taking generations to get rid of a preconception

    PS: sorry for my poor English I hope it s not too bad...

    The definition of logic that I have given works in any situation where the use of logic is appropriate. That is to the use of language. Yes, something may be logical and also be wrong. If I said 'all buildings are made of brick, The wtc was a building therefore the wtc was made of brick' that would be a logical argument but it would also be false because the first premise is false. I have not attempted to apply logic to human emotion or behavior, only to the statements that people make. This is where the use of logic is applicable.

    I only wanted to point out, that Aristoteles should only be used in a discussion that has a logical base like math or physics etc.
    Not (<-the edit, forgot a keyword ) if you are involved in an argument about human related stuff.
    No offense to the rest of your statement I only stumbled over this well known rules here.

    I don't know about any of that, but the ID "SmashysmashY" made me laugh really hard. Nicely done, Smashy, and welcome to HA.

    Thank you Quinn. I know that I came here and immediately started arguing with people so it is very kind of you to welcome me.

    arcticone I understand what you are saying and I agree. I demonstrated how logic can be misapplied in my last post. But logic can also be used to determine the truth value of statements that are not dealing with abstractions and I was not speaking of the person's feelings or actual motivations but only to their actions and stated motivations if that makes sense to you.

    Ok, I think I got your point (reading is much easier than writing )

    Let s just say I got some personal problems with the words truth and logic (realy bad experiences ). I acted like one of Pawlows dogs: -> impulse -> action (not 100% thought about what to say and how).

    Btw: Imho a good argument is much better then senseless adaption to the major opinion. I think in a forum it s the fun to discuss oppositional meanings

    Just a little recommendation to any black person who may read this and who calls escorts.; If an escort asks you what your nationality is or what your race is then yes that is a way of screening out blacks. I suggest you reply like so:

    them: what is your ethnicity?
    you: why do you not like certain races?

    Now the onus is on them to state their bigotry openly.

    them: I don’t date blacks.
    you: ok, well I don’t like bigots they have an odor and an air about them that I find offensive.(use your own word of course, but this sounds like something a caucasian person might say so they will take it closer to heart)
    them: I’m not a..CLICK (the sound of you hanging up)

    I know this seems like a small and petty victory but why give a bigot an inch? People influence the behavior of others with praise and criticism. Don’t let them get off without some criticism. Who knows, if enough people do it maybe they will realize one day that blacks are human.
