The a slippery slope argument is a classical informal fallacy.

My heritage is Indian and our land was taken from us and we were killed. It happened. I would not go around saying I got a bad deal because of it.

No matter what the feminists and the metrosexuals say, men and women are different. There are reasons for the difference. As a group men are stronger than women. Just a pure fact. Women are superior to men in some things men superior to women in others which is why a man and woman together makes a formidable team. They are a synergistic existence…

In any event, our society has changed and women have equal rights as they should but I refuse to keep up this charade about needed to have all kinds of programs because some real old women could not vote when they were young just like i refuse to play the game about slavery when no one who is alive was a slave or owned one.

But along the equality lines, women have to do less on a physical fitness test to get into the Service Academies. Men have to do more for the same benefit.

Men have to do more than women to pass fitness tests in the Army (and I am sure the rest of the services) which means two people, one man, one woman of equal time and grade will get the exact same pay. Except the woman does not have to do as much to earn hers.

And women cannot be drafted. Should we change this at the same time we are increasing the phyisical fitness standards so they have to do as much as men?

And this is the case in police departments and fire departments as well…

You brought it up so I thought I would address it. I understand the reason that these things take place and have no problem with it. I am just saying that if you insist on every damned thing being exactly equal then I demand that they be equal in what I have discussed and they must be equal up to the standards men now have and not allow the men’s standards to be lowered to accommodate women.

Like white in rice means very close to so how is that racial?

Some of the proposed changes are stupid. I can see where chairman is outdated though the word man could men the sex or mankind which covers women (remember that man and men is part of woMAN and woMEN). Chairperson is OK but some stuff they do is stupid. Calling the kettle black is not racial.

Are we to take all references to color out of our language because someone might get offended. No green with jealousy because you might be talking about green card immigrants. No red with rage because Indians might get upset. No feeling blue because those blue guys who throw marshmallows into each other’s mouths might get upset…

Only a moron would NOT give the race of the person they were looking for.

Funny though, in Baltimore they stopped the race thing in BOLOs because of griping from the race baiters. Then the beltway snipers started shooting people. The police said the perps were likely white. There was no outcry, the police and public were looking for a white guy in a panel van because that was the profile. They ignored black men in cars at roadblocks and let them pass through but stopped white guys, especially panel vans. The beltway snipers, two black men, drove through one such roadblock because they were not the right color to be stopped.

I point that out to show how color is important in describing (when you actuall have an eye witness or a video and not some profile) but also that there was no outcry when white was used in the description…

Yes some stereotypes are true of some people. We have these stereotypes because the behavior has been demonstrated enough to give that impression. Many are just narrow minded, bigoted thinking but some are true. And we all stereotype. Look at how you stereotype conservatives.
