• 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?

    I am alive! Haha. Thought I'd stop by since I'm not doing anything this summer but working.

    Would you like to be famous or...?

    It kind of goes along with my belief that both money and power corrupt, but I would definitely not want to be famous. I'm an extremely private person, and I'm sure I couldn't handle it. Also:

    Awww! For some reason, I decided to get back on again. It's summer and I miss the forums.

    Absences

    Hey guys, I know I haven't logged on in TWO WHOLE WEEKS, but wow. Things have been crazy. I'm leaving for college in 18 days. Things are soooo busy. And the sad part is, I don't know if I'll have any free time to post on here once college starts :( So I'm just posting to say, I love you guys...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Yes, of course it's more offensive because of the history behind it and the current social structure and white privilege and all that. But, really, the level of offensiveness is irrelevant. Free speech is free speech. I'm not arguing in favor of racism or racial slurs, I'm arguing in favor of...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Um... have you heard of the FCC? I think where we differ here is that I don't think that using racial slurs is an infringement on the rights of others. There's no right not to be offended. If I go up to a black person and call them a "fucking nigger", they have every right to never talk to me...

    The "Fwee" thread II

    So I've been doing a load of research and I think I've finally found my political persuasion. Ideally, I think I'm an anarcho-capitalist (basically no state, with completely free markets). Practically, I'm a libertarian minarchist (very minimized state, high/unrestricted personal freedoms). So...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    (1) Are you seriously suggesting it's okay for a government to ban speech? Okay for them to write you a ticket or jail you for speaking certain words? Do you realize how totalitarian and ultra-conservative of a notion this is? I'll repeat: free speech is meaningless unless it tolerates speech we...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Unless you live in a country where freedom of speech is repressed, the only consequence of using racist or other discriminatory language should be the label of "jerk" that the people you know give you. Government should not get involved in speech policing. Remember that free speech is...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I'm sorry, but racism to me always has meant racial discrimination. I always considered sociological/institutional racism as something totally separate, and only considered when talking about governments and such. I guess we can stop our little debate. My apologies.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I realize all of this, Cirrus, and I'm not naive enough to think that white people face as much discrimination, or even anywhere near as much discrimination as other races. What I have a problem with is the positive statement you're making: that white people cannot experience racism. They can...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I think Butterfree's right, we're arguing semantics here. Sociological racism aside, I think racism is racial prejudice that is acted upon. That's my definition. If a person discriminates against a white person, regardless of their colour, I consider it racism. Not the best choice of words...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I have to call bullshit here. While I agree it occurs on a much smaller scale than racism against minorities (at least here in the US), it's ludicrous to assume that racism against white people doesn't happen. As for the whole racism in general versus institutionalized racism: it's all the...
