That shows...... what?

Of course racism is discrimination, I made that very clear. His idea of arguement earlier is proving me a racist (though he still hasn't told me why I'm a racist). Then all of a sudden his idea becomes we're all biologically the same. If he says these two things, it contradicts each other doesn't it? Racism is when we segregate the different races and nationalities and target a specific one right? However, his earlier arguement stated we can be of any nationality because our biology is the same. Since racism is targeted towards a race, he just nullified his own arguement because we're all "the same".
If anything, the idea of racism becomes even more absurd when you consider that all of humanity is almost exactly the same. Not seeing the world as divided into races doesn't mean he can't see the obvious cultural and ethnic differences between people, and can't see the people discriminating based off of them.

You even admitted you haven't read his posts. You're not even arguing because of this topic are you?
True, though it doesn't matter, seeing as you gave me all the reasoning behind your point in your post.
You don't know the difference between expect and assume and you think I cannot argue with that, but you're not presenting a reason. You just ignored one of my earlier post I wrote to you.

1) Jump over a line.
2) Hop over a line.

Does sentence 1 not have the exact same meaning as sentence 2? I will admit, it was my fault for phrasing my statement poorly. How about "Your phrasing is different but the meaning is EXACTLY THE SAME?"


Edit: And please don't disappear again.

I didn't.

I didn't.

Hopping is usually one foot, and usually a small jump.

Jumping can be anything ranging from leaps to simple hops.

Every word exist for a reason, whether to generalize or to specify or even to show different levels of emotion and tone. In this case, jump is a generalized word, whiles hop is more specific.

"Get" to the park. "Walk" to the park. "Sprint" to the park. The "result" is the same in that you get to the park, but the conditions are completely different. Are the meanings the same? Of course not. The result is only 50% of the word.
 
So who wants to start a betting pool on when this cluster**** gets locked?
