[QUOTE="donner, post: 2228596, member: 277"] The amount of logical leaps/failure is astounding for one post. So you'd rather have safety at the cost of other's liberties? Interesting for someone to wants to rely on Original Intent so much. You're somehow wanting to connect point A to point E but failing. There have always been 'bad neighborhoods,' you're just more aware of them now because they aren't hidden from sight like they were in the past. Sure, maybe someone living in those areas is more likely to hurt someone when they don't fear the lynch mob, but i'm guessing there is more to the problems caused by urbanization than just race. I'm know nothing i say will change how backwards your views are, so i'm not sure it's worth trying. If you'd have picked your 'own damn cotton' all those years ago, the south you proclaim to love would look nothing like it does today and would have been a vastly different place. The slave economy that propped the south up for so many years wouldn't have existed and who is to say things would be any better. there have been many times on this board where i've felt people are mistaken but i've always respected that they were entitled to their own opinion. After your reading your post i can honestly say i've never felt more pity for another person on this board for their views. I truly feel sorry for you. I live in the deep south and there are many great things about it, but the views you expressed here are not part of it. Your statements show how you'll pick a single issue (race) and use it to justify all of society's problems, using broad, overgeneralized and faulty logic. It's nice to know that you don't want any gay white christians to be proud of being southern, though. I've always thought that some people really truly think it's about heritage and not hate, but it's becoming more and more obvious that there are some who can't separate one from the other. And please don't feel like this is in any way a personal attack. It's not. Though I'm sure it will only add to your sense of persecution, please believe me when i say that i have so little respect for the things you've said here that i don't feel the need to attack you. You've done more harm to your position then i ever could. [/QUOTE]
