What the Hell is Going on in France?
Time
you've all made great points on the reparations issues. I agree with what I alot of you have said. I think giving it to some sort of project to help minorities out might be for the best.

there isa statement that I wish to take issue with
a) you assume they would have saved it and had it to pass on
Yes I do. But, do we have the right to assume they wouldn't? The point is, if we agree that reparations should have been paid to the slaves in the first place, then did we not deny the slaves their right to save the money and pass it on?

I have questions for legal experts. If my father dies of lung cancer obtained by smoking, can I sue the tobaco companies on his behalf? What would happend if again my father obtained lung cancer via smoking, sued the tobaco companies himself, won the case, but before any money was rewarded, he died. Would the tobaco companies no longer have to pay because he is dead?


My family was discriminated against for being Irish, back when the Irish were less than dirt and there were signs in the window that said "No Irish need apply". They dug themselves out through hard work and dedication, not unfair quota systems.

very sorry to hear of what your family went through.

2) its more than just 'black' people that are 'helped' by affirmitive action.

I agree, I used a poor choice of wording. I'll change it.

in direct response to you're comment, Id turn around to that person and say "Have you? are you absolutely sure that that was the reason and it wasnt because you werent qualified or there was someone else more qualified"

that is a good point, and one somene should ask before assuming racism or sexism. But that fact is, somtimes it unfortunatly does happen that someone is discriminated against. because of skin color. Sad but true.

Watch the movie "Crash" it makes some really good points, shows some good issues about the whole racial injustices/stereotypes.

I have. It is a great movie, and makes some great points on the issue. Someday I plan to add the movie to my DVD collection.

Ok, I will try to explain again. If we all agree that reparations should have been paid to the actual slaves, what would happend to the money(if they did not spend it) after the slaves died? It would have gone to the slave's relatives. That is why the relatives should get paid.

I wonder........could this whole infinite crisis be a trap for Superman of Earth2? Could this whole thing be a set up to get Superman of Earth2 out his paradise so he could be killed? If Jason Todd could come back, could Luther of Earth2 have come back? He would have motive to kill Superman of Earth2 Is this possible?

Let the moderator deem which thread is or isn't dead. All we can do is simply deem whether or not a thread is crap, and choose to ignore it if need be.


the "Dead Thread" thing is a normal practice on this forum. Most of the time it is respected. Although of course it is unofficial. It is used to end duplicate threads, threads that are useless, or to prevent flaming. I believe this is a useless thread


DEAD THREAD. DO NOT POST HERE. DEAD THREAD

I'm a huge Steelers fan. I would love for the Steelers to get Owens, but I doubt they would pay him what he wants. They can have anyone except Ben Roethlisburger, Hines Ward, or Troy Polamalu. Sure, Owens talks a lot, but he doesn't have the other problems like Randy Moss leaving the field before the end of a game or Ricky Williams getting caught on drugs and abandoning his team. Owens committed one of the unpardonable sins in football: he criticized the great African-American quarterback.


no, he didn't just criticize Mcnabb, he mocked him. He also mocked the team.

But his unpardonable sin was wearing the Cowgirls jersey. I will never forgive that insult. By wearing the Cowgirls jersey, mocked the team, Mcnabb, and Eagle fans. I know he is a great player, I don't want my team selling its soul to the devil. At what price glory?

I only hope he does play for another team, Then when that team plays the Eagles, we get to kick his a**.

does anyone else agree that the most vile man in the NFL is Tom Benson, the owner of the Saints. Instead of trying to give New Orleans hope, he tries to take advantage of the disaster and move his team to L.A. What a greedy bastard!

BTW: for now on I will be refering to T.O. as Me.O. because that is all he cares about, me(meaning himself).
