A patriot who went too far, thinks that his country is the best and that all other countries should live the same way. Plus, he also enforces his opinion on everybody.
Beat it in what? Human rights? Doubt it. A war? Probably. But not without being beaten as well. We'd kill each other right off with our fancy shmancy bombs.

Ah, I see. Then that's what we would call here a nationalist. It is widely accepted to be patriotic. But to be nationalistic is kind of what you've described.

I was replying to mutton. He said "superpower". And Russia is larger. Otherwise, that is what I said by part b. Perhaps America is not the best place to live. You have to visit many other countires, first, in order to say that.[/quote]
Nah, Sianoq, you are missing my point. It's not even ignorance. Deeper that that, it's nature. Nature tends to get rid of these kind of groups:
-unattractive;
-genetically impure;
-unable to reproduce;
-sick;
-weak;
-crazy.
On a whole yes, but whn we go down to individual species, all factors wouldn't necessary be qually important in all situations.
Example: While som birds attract mates through their plumes and feathers, others do so through building nests. The male with the best nest gets a female. Thus one could argu that the smartest bird, meaning he who understands how to build a nest, gets to repoduce. Whether he is attractive or not isn't important in this situation.

The fact is, is that the wolrd is racist, no one will change it, and even if you say your arent, you are, because its human nature to hate people like that, collectly as a race.
Now, if it is in human nature, that would mean we can evolve out of it, no? Not saying it will happn tomorrow, or ver considring that we've placed ourselves above th rgular ways of evolution, but it does imply that it wouldn't b impossible to get out of this viw of racism as mandatory.

Well, "best place to live" would certainly be subjective. I don't think it's the best place, and I've lived in more than one country, but there'd be many people disagreeing with me. And we would never get to a firm conclusion, because we all value different aspects of life of different importance.

Well im too lazy to read on through the entire lists of posts as most of you have written essays when it comes to racism but i do not see what the big deal is. I'm a first generation mexican american ( note the small capitalization of the letters in the name as i take no pride or love in the whole thing but i am what i am and i do love the heritage when it comes to being one). I was in the army for 4 years and i traveled most of the globe and never saw racism to be of any trouble to anyone. Truthfully there were lots of girls where i was stationed and i always attracted african american girls and friends to that nature. I considered myself as one of the gang when it came to "blacks" as they called themselves.
As a mexican or whatever you want to call me (i really dont care what others have to say about being one) I have viewed the presidents agenda on securing the borders as lop-sided or forgive me for not understanding politics and u can correct me if im wrong but its not right. As a mexican i have researched and studied my race and culture as well as the native americans and i can tell u that this land now that we call America was populated by us and the natives as far back as the eye can see. We migrated to this territory from the aztecs ( as mexicans would proudly state) or the olmecs or even the mextecs that conquered the territory know as mexico city now and once where the aztecs made theirselves at home now. So we got short changed because of the spaniard invasion of our country but so did everyone else when you read bout ones history.
I said i wouldnt write an essay bout this topic and look at me i did heh. Well every race can say that thery had it bad but its true you see even the whites (or americans) had it bad for what their forefathers stumbled onto. Is their racism in the world, yes. Is it allowable,yes only because as humans we were taught to love but which we were taught was to love what is known to us and by our fathers of old. So do we love other races, no. Beacause we dont understand them well enough to consider them one of us. If we take the time to read and understand and comprehend what it is to be another race we will find that they are much like ourselves and we all carry the ability to cope with change and love each other. I know i sound like a big sissy but take it for what it is i'm 30 and an openminded old bag.
Well these are my thoughts u can take em for whatever but once again its just my opinion.

I am ElDiablo and I come to purge this world of ours of all of the good that it contains. I have survived the Horadrim and its puny counterspells to wreak havoc upon this world and the next once again. To many I am the seed of evil and corruption but to most I am the fallen angel that your lord had forsaken.
Yea thanks for the input i really love learning bout history actually this summer semster im registered to go to college and im takin 3 history classes. I agree no one culture will ever beat the egyptians, they rule! But actually the aztec empire was compared to the chinese in that if the spanish didnt come in and conquer everything the civilization would have prospered like the chineses have. I also am a big Civ fan i have played all of em and my fav race is the egyptians, can i get a hoooo raaaaaaahhhh!

I do not believe that either Chinese nor Aztecs would move much farther than they were. If they were at that stage, they were probably just developing slowly... but, you have to keep up, or you'll get destroyed.
I understand what you're saying. I don't think anyone is completely above racism. And neither am I saying that because everyone is somewhat racist, that it makes it okay. I am saying however that how one acts on their racist tendencies is what's really important. And I believe when reflecting why and how we are racist, it raises questions about ourselves. And I think we should answer those questions as truthfully as possible. Hopefully in doing so, we have revelations about ourselves that makes us more understanding and less hateful. I mean, is that too idealistic? Cause I've always felt it was a simple way to put things like that into context.
Yeah I see what your saying. I agree completely. I think it'd be alot easier for everyone if people were less hateful. I mean, theres no real reasons for hating an entire group of people of a race. Like, I could say I hate people who try to be thugs and gangsta. I do. I really do. But I dont hate black people at all. And, calling someone a nigger is taken way out of context. A nigger is by definition- a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons. It doesnt nessascarily mean a black person- but a group of people who are socially and morally unacceptable. I would only call a person who is as the definiton says, a nigger. I dont believe it is an offensive word for a black person, and it shouldnt be taken as so.

Parallel truth, awaken in translucence
Sealed by this deadened song
Sinking in toneless comatose
Come and tear my skin, fear what's within
Its massive darkness filling my world

I sort of like Aztecs as long as it doesn't come to the point of ritual killings and other barbaracy... my favorite civ in AoE2 After Koreans
