Kru,
It is you who has their head up my ass.
You are either young and ignorant or just plain stupid. You twist things around like a lyer, I mean lawyer. Things haven't changed much with the human species in the last few centuries, you think you are superior to Socrates? You aren't even fit to shine his shoes. People have only learned how to kill and torture their fellow man in more professional ways.
You think that people have changed and evolved? What have they evolved too? Western society has become the standard for the world. Chinese women have surgery on their eyes to make them rounder, so they will look more Caucasian. Blacks in Ebony and other mainstream magazines usually have Caucasian features. Everybody wants to be white. And if you don't believe me, read "Ways of Seeeing" by John Berger. It will blow your mind. We are presented with beautiful people in advertising to convince us that we are ugly, and then they offer us a way to feel ok if we buy their products. Children are programmed to smoke tobacco that has been laced to make it highly addictive.We now have developed incredible biological warfare. Where's the evolution? You think because you have a computer that human nature has changed?
If you don't believe that whites consider themselves better than blacks, hispanics and asians, you have lost touch with reality and are living in your own cyberspace. Asians also think they are superior, and it has not changed, if anything they look down on us more since they have defeated us financially and are in the process of draining all our wealth. It's a forgone conclusion that they have come full circle. It was they who were the first true civilizations with all the wealth, then it went to western Europe, the USA, and now back to them. The Asians will ultimately rule us. I hope they are better to us than we were to them or we're really in for it.
You amuse me when you make your view that the Germans don't believe they are superior to us. They are superior. They work their asses off while we watch tv and drink beer. They are very disciplined, as are the Japanese. They are the ones who invented rockets and have created staggering major technological breakthroughs.
Your twist my words. I have to trust that a person who pledges their allegiance to a country and becomes a citizen deserves to be an equal. You seem to subscribe to putting them in camps as was done in WWII if a conflict were to break out. You didn't notice Germans being incarcerated during WWII, only Japanese. Who is the racist?
Follow your own advice "Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and if you can't be rational, at least make some attempt to be consistent." You have only been consistant at being an asshole.
I wonder how much the poison we have been fed all our lives by or government in the form of fluoride in our water has affected us all.
Millenium - Sorry, but I've said too much about my anti-war activity already. I have to take the fifth.

Sorry, but I do firmly believe that Ford and the Japanese corporation that controls Firestone are murderers. They are, and any jury would find them guilty if they were presented with the facts. But the corporations ARE the government since they have bought and paid for it, so we can't get justice. As I've said before, Richard Pryor was right when he said, "You go down there looking for justice and that's just what you find, "Just Us."
If the members you mention are Japanese, they should not be annoyed by my remarks. I have attacked the Japanese corporations. I also say that Japanese are racist, but racism is not exclusive to the Japanese, all races and religions think they are better than others. If the people you mention are American citizens, then they are not Japanese, but of Japanese descent.
I think that all corporations in the world should be dismantled, since they are nothing but machines that do not take into account human beings in their quest for wealth. They have become the killer androids we all worry about in science fiction, only they are real, and have slowly taken over the world. If these people you mention work for any corporation that is responsible for killing people, then they are responsible unless they really weren't involved and resign in protest. If their job is so important they will be part of a group of gangsters, they are accomplices. Their race is not an issue. My original comment was meant to express my point of view that at least the Japanese had an excuse to disregard American lives after our dropping nuclear bombs on them, where Ford, who is an American corporation and was built on the blood, sweat and tears of Americans owes the American People the right to trust and believe that Ford will do it's best for it's customers, not kill them.
"You are either part of the solution, or part of the problem."
What do you think the trillions of dollars Americans had to pay for the "Cold War" against Russia and China were for? They were so ATT, GM, Ford, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Macdonald's, etc. could go over their and make money. And America was bankrupted in the process because Reagan borrowed all the money (trillions) from foreign governments to do it. We went from being the worlds largest creditor nation to the world's largest debtor nation during Reagan. It was a great party. The whole Bush family made millions of personal wealth and were allowed to walk away from huge bank losses without it even affecting their credit.
