• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Maybe it's because all the sources you provided, with the exception of Wikipedia, gave the impression that a majority of the population is racist. If I recall, the second link provided a 50-point list detailing white privilege. Most of them, however, don't apply to just African Americans, and...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I agree, SomeGuy. So you're saying that, because this person is not actually Jewish and because an actual Jewish person has no problem with calling the former "Jew," it is excusable in any way? While I've noticed that "Jew" is quite commonly used simply as a shortened term for "Jewish person,"...
