Pat Condell: 'There's no racist like a liberal racist'
The usage of words, describing certain amounts of people like "some", "few", "many", "most" may sound not as important to some people, but actually can be the difference between an total racistic nonsense and an statistical relevant fact. So there are very few irish people, that really did such attacks. Luckily "most" seem to be pretty normal people. Isnt that marvelous, what transformation the idiotic meaning of "Irish people were radical terrorists, doing bomb-attacks on little school girls." by only using the word "few"? So it might seem like a magic trick, but I swear, its only about the basic usage of language.
She is not responsible for what they believe but the fact that she was shot in the head by the Taliban, simply for fighting for the right of girls to have an education, which the Taliban oppose, just tells how utterly evil and oppressive the Taliban are. She is an innocent victim. Also, where in this thread have I ever said that all muslims are like this. I have actually said many times in elsewhere and in this thread that I actually know some muslims who are actually decent people. I was talking about people with a specific ideology. Stop strawmanning my position.

Oh dear, you seem to interpret that i've said that invading one's country and looting their resources gives one a carte blanche to abuse children and persecute minority religions. Try harder next time. How the taliban (or any other similar group whose actions you use to tar a group of a billion people) treat their people is a totally seperate matter to international relations between the west and Islamic world.
So are you just going to continue throwing emotive sanctimony at me or actually address my analogy?

Ok, let me put it to this way. My whole point is that they are not totally separate issues. You are equating terrorism such as the 9/11 attacks with a single cause, that being the west's involvement with the Middle East. However, there are other causes, one of them being the same ideology that allows them to justify such abuses. Al Qaeda is part of a Jihadi movement that believes the murdering of any innocent people are justified, as long as they are either non-muslim or even if they are muslims who do not agree with their particular brand of Wahhabism. That is why they can justify acts like 9/11 and so on, they also believe it is their duty to fight anyone who does agree with them. Again, I have never used the Taliban or anyone else to tar all muslims with the same brush.
Regarding your analogy, I have never agreed with all US actions in the Middle East but that does not mean that I won't call out specific abuses by these particular groups (notice that I did not say all muslims). Though these ideologies that are responsible for this kind of abuse are actually drawn from particular interpretations of Islam, though again that does not mean that all muslims should be tarred with the same brush. Is that fair?
The guy in the video gets it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognizes liberal racism, or progressive racism, as he calls it.
"Progressive culture" tends to be a facet of countries that have a history of traveling all over the world, enslaving, colonizing, and stealing from others. That's why they "earn more." Their entire lifestyle (and thus, their earnings) are based on stolen goods and exploitation. That's where their GDP and leisure time for creativity come from.
WTF is "religious racism"?
The same like racism against people of a certain skin colour, telling dumb prejudices like "All black are like this and that...", only done on people of a certain religion like "All christians are completely weirdos and do bomb attacks of employees of abortion-hospitals." or "All muslims are completely weirdos and want to have sex with little 9 year old girls."

Do you understand the difference between a religion and religious ideology and the people who follow that religion? I'm not saying anything about at all about all muslims. When I criticise islam, I'm criticising a religious ideology. I've criticised christianity too, especially Catholicism and the Catholic Church but the fact that there are some things that the Church has said, or even interpretations of the bible, which I don't like doesn't mean that all christians believe those things either. Attacking religions, any religion, is fair game but attacking followers of that religion just for being followers is not. For some reason though, it's only when one criticises islam that you are accused of attacking muslims for being muslims by the so-called liberals and "progressives", you are generally not accused of attacking christians for being christians if you criticise christianity (except perhaps by few fundamentalist christians but most christians don't accuse you of that).

Not exactly, it is very typical to liberal leftoid people that enjoy to criticize ''Western World'' and believe on an ''Noble Savage''. All people around the world, the humanity on the majority, is not so different than ''western colonizers''. To you see your incongruence. At the industrial revolution, while some thousand of europeans invaded and colonize other continents, majority of english people was very poor and worked in a semi-slavery regime, with pregnant women, childrens worked by 10-14 hours by day, without any rights.
The only people who can reclaim about the liberal lifestyle (your elites) are the white folks, because they pay for it. The red America sustains the leftist urban people with food, infrastructure and their own salaries.
Creativity is a hereditary traits, like all other human traits and need to ''mental disorder'' with some intelligence to produce. Creative geniuses are composed basicaly by this two elements, mental ''disorder'' or excepcionality and higher intelligence. China and other asian rich countries doesn't produce much more creativity achievements like Western World even today.
Relatively speaking (compared to their proportion of the population), the most prominent "creativity achievements" in the Western World come from Jews.
For instance, here are the recently awarded Nobel Prizes for 2013 - in the 3 original scientific categories:
Physics:
Peter Higgs
François Englert - Jewish
Chemistry:
Martin Karplus - Jewish
Michael Levitt - Jewish
Arieh Warshel - Jewish
Medicine:
James E. Rothman - Jewish
Randy W. Schekman - Jewish

@ Pats video, it goes to show how much a full-life philosophy that's meant to address all points can ensnare people to compile and assimilate everything they see and hear into that perspective - classic cases being Freudianism and Marxism. Most of the progressives of the variety he's addressing quite likely can only see human relationships in respect to economic class, by extension race, and hence everything and anything else is a secondary or tertiary issue to that to which similarly all religion was given to us by way of rich dominant race/class members in any particular culture sitting in a smoke filled room trying to dream up new ways to oppress the poor and similar anything new that's religious or even spiritual is more of that same master/control ethnos (in American and Europe 'white people') trying to think of new ways to Scientologize the poor against themselves.
Anymore I just vote, I hardly think it's even worth debating because I've seen how little impact that has. Most people tend to have a way of weeding out evidence to the contrary of their beliefs and do so well at it that it almost completely disappears. When selective attention has this much power to where people can take on a prefabbed and ready-without-thinking belief system which makes sense of 80% of life perhaps on it's own logic but either ignores the other 20% of life that doesn't match the mold or buries it in calumny - it's a scary thing and I'm not sure how much of it is pure laziness or whether people are just that hypnotized.

But the majority of other winners was white gentiles and the most greatest genius of humanity also was and are europeans or with ancestry.
Ashkenazim and Sephardic have european ancestry, so, part of their success should to mixture with euros.

Behold:
Einstein was Jewish.
Bohr was Jewish.
von Neumann was Jewish
Born was Jewish
Feynman was Jewish
Oppenheimer was Jewish
Teller was Jewish
Ulam was Jewish
Both Einstein and von Neumann are routinely considered among the greatest geniuses of mankind to have ever lived.

this is deliciously ironic.
Were it up to Goddard's poster boys, half of this forum would probably be aktion t'4ed.
Also if it weren't for the nazi's inherent anti-semitism, they would have retained Einstein and made inroads towards getting the atomic bomb before the Americans. Just sayin'.
Anyway, by in large, academic performance seems to have big cultural element, perhaps more than genetics. Both Jewish and Asian cultures put an enormous discipline on their child's studies which is a major reason why they tend to outperform their white and black western counterparts. Assuming all other factors are even, there is little demonstrable evidence that one race is inherently better than another.

Actually, Einstein was never actually involved in the Manhattan Project (America's atomic bomb program) at all, he only sent letter to the US president warning him that the Nazi's may be working on one. On the other hand, the head of the Nazi's atomic bomb program was Werner Heisenberg, who is actually also considered one of the fathers of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg later claimed that he deliberately sabotaged the program and made sure that the Nazi's didn't get the bomb.
