fun fun fun.
Yet I felt almost sorry for him.
I blame it on the non-existent parent(s) this time. "All you need is love."
Oh dear.

I just thought back to a brief history of america from that film and a sort of collective anxiety disorder would explain it. If you're constantly told that you're in danger or threatened then you would end up with an anxiety disorder after a while and you might be a little paranoid and trigger happy.

Umm..yes. It's actually an and/or cirumstance, because everyone is like clawing to get on disability. Hm.
Are Americans just really f****d up or do they have some sort of collective mental disorder that comes with being American?

I'd have thought the whole 'Nazi forum' would have served as a pretty large reminder.
Read it again.
People were just tagging him with the word "racism" where "racism" = BAAAAD.
It was like they didn't even remember why racism was "bad" in the first place.
I mean, think about what he said.
He thought people should stay pure blood.
That in itself is stupid but harmless.
I don't exactly know where I'm going with this, but there's this whole "political correctness" thingy of not being "racist", (which is why the BNP try and claim not to be so, even though it's what their principles are founded on) and it means that politically minded militants can go off on one on "harmless" racism...
Anyone seeing what I'm getting at?
Kind of goes hand in hand with racism wouldn't you say? :D

You're missing the point.
Instead of just dismissing him as a racist (which he WAS being) if they'd talked over it, let him have his point of view and given him theirs, it would've given everyone something to think about.
Calling him a racist did nothing.
Just meant that he knew people hadn't really listened to what he was saying, just picked out the "discriminatory" parts and had a go at him for it.
The better way would've been to discuss it and sort of see where he was coming from, see if he knew where he was coming from, see if he'd realise he was being racist.
Instead of just giving him the political tag.
See where I'm coming from?
Yes, most people go 'racist racist racist'
But it is. It comes down to the same thing with a rational discussion. It's irrational and racist.
