They closed this (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=55354) thread.

The GMs not only ignored the coherent arguments presented by several members of the server, they actually closed the thread. Welcome to ProjectNazi99.

what you gonna do besides whine
Make sure that there is a section of every population in the world that is so militant about condemning even the thought of ethnic cleansing, that outrage is felt when the words are actually spoken, so that riots happen if it's proposed, and that all hell breaks loose before that shit ever happens again.

You guys shouldn't pretend there is no other meaning for holocaust. It is a general term, which is actually in wide use still, and was even more so before WW2.

I feel the same way you guys do, but I'm a stickler for technicalities and justice, and without some further evidence, it's ridiculous to keep this going.

Now if one of them uses anti-Semitic rhetoric ... even once ... then I can see outrage, because that would seal up the intent of the name.

I mean, you and I both know what is going on, but what about other people who may be accused of the same thing? The precedent of changing the name or persecuting without justice should not be set, imho.

your reading comprehension is terrible... the other account of aruden's is pretty obviously the one he used to make http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=53259 (this thread.)

i would ask for further vindication from a forum admin here but a mental midget like you isn't worth wasting neither my, nor an admin's time. especially from someone who posts rubbish like this in these threads:

http://revisionists.com/photos/auschwitz_the_story_keeps_c.jpg

isn't it past due for you to post more denier propaganda? it might be an appropriate time to post some of it, just so everyone knows your real purpose here, right? it has nothing to do with defending the guild's name, it's because you're a neonazi and you want to deemphasize the tragedy of the holocaust, right?

I wouldn't be surprised if the GMs banned me, but if that happens, anyone on the server with a conscience should take note and ask yourself, what kind of people are in control of the countless hours you've invested on this server and who are you associating with by playing here?

The people we spend time with influence us. After seeing all the vitriol spewed in these threads, and realizing that the highest authorities on this sever not only tolerate it but support the guild name by closing the thread, I've concluded that I don't want to be influenced by these kinds of people.

Granted, there are some good people on the server, but unfortunately, they're a minority. Moreover, the people in control don't fall into this subgroup.

I'll leave the racist circle-jerk to the racists. You guys are welcome to rage each other. I encourage anyone with a conscience to reevaluate their decision to play here. The people you associate with will influence you. Every incoherent post by purest that you read degrades you that much more.

Racism- a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Sorry I missed the part that the words ******, spic, chink, and kike are racist. I'm not using the terms in a negative way, your mind is warping it to be racist.

the genetic foundation of race is basically undeniable.
Actually that is ridiculously untrue.

There is no such scientific class as race. Sociologists group people in terms of ethnicity, culture, and nationality.

Race is a pseudo scientific term which lumps people together based on arbitrary observations, such as skin color or eye shape.

Terms like Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid were used as tools by a small group of people (supported by a large racist population) in mainly America to give them a base from which they could erroneous-legitimately start building pseudoscience with an edge for ethnocentrism.

Racism, as a term, is still valid in that it encompasses the negative feelings and actions of people who erroneously see race as a basis for discrimination of people.

your skin pigment determines your race in most situations. how more simple can it get? there are cultural connotations that are constructed and placed upon you by society based on this information. that doesn't make them any less real.

there's really nothing latent about skin tone. it would take tens of thousands of years of constant external pressure for a group of exclusively black people to evolve white skin. and at the end they would probably be more genetically dissimilar to fair-skinned in existence now than they are now.

Over time adaptation took place to increase or decrease the amount of melanin production by skin cells, which shield the organelles of the cell from UV radiation, preventing skin cancer. This takes energy to accomplish, and is only done if needed.

In climates where there is more UV radiation (sunny), over time, those with more expression calls in the structure of their DNA survive and thrive, changing the skin tone of the group to be darker over time.

Conversely, in climates where UV radiation isn't a problem, individuals with less expression calls for melanin in their DNA do just as well, and because of that the DNA of the group is less concentrated towards melanin production as a whole, lightening skin over time.

The genes, however, are still there.

Proof is something called a sun tan.

Also proof is that there is more genetic disparity within so-called "racial groups" than there is between them.

You're confusing ethnicity with race. "Race" is based on external physical characteristics, primarily skin tone (ex. "whites," "blacks."). It is common knowledge that there is more genetic variation within these arbitrarily assigned groups than when you compare any ethnic group with another.

For an example, I will use arbitrary numbers to illustrate:

When you compare 100 people of Irish Gaelic ethnicity to 100 people of Japanese ethnicity, you find 1,000 genetic markers (usually viral) difference.

When you compare 100 people who are "black" to another 100 people who are "black," you find 2,000 genetic markers (usually viral) difference.

This is because people who are "black" can be from many ethnic groups: various african ethnicities, various central and south american ethnicities, various asian and pacific islander ethnicities may also have the characteristics of "black." Similarly, people who are "white" may be from spain, norway, belarus, etc., all with a high amount of variation between groups.

Ergo, classifying people on the basis of skin color or other external traits is purely subjective, and without any scientific basis.

No, I'm not. Ethnicity is something else entirely. I'm talking about race -- the genetic differentiation of populations with different regional ancestries. I've posted the links already -- you're free to peruse them. Since you are refusing to accept the legitimate source that you asked for, I'll quote:

"All of Earth's people, according to a new analysis of the genomes of 53 populations, fall into just three genetic groups. They are the products of the first and most important journey our species made -- the walk out of Africa about 70,000 years ago by a small fraction of ancestral Homo sapiens. One group is the African. It contains the descendants of the original humans who emerged in East Africa about 200,000 years ago. The second is the Eurasian, encompassing the natives of Europe, the Middle East and Southwest Asia (east to about Pakistan). The third is the East Asian, the inhabitants of Asia, Japan and Southeast Asia, and -- thanks to the Bering Land Bridge and island-hopping in the South Pacific -- of the Americas and Oceania as well."

That is race, not ethnicity. The other link I posted shows how genetic nuance can be found within these populations. I'll provide another quote.

"The genetic map of Europe bears a clear structural similarity to the geographic map. The major genetic differences are between populations of the north and south (the vertical axis of the map shows north-south differences, the horizontal axis those of east-west). The area assigned to each population reflects the amount of genetic variation in it."

Now, if you choose to use poor racial constructs (ie: White, Black, Asian), then sure: you leave yourself susceptible to uneven results. But if you understand that there are three major subgroups (Eurasian, African, East Asian), and that each subgroup can be broken into smaller "races", then there is clearly a genetic basis for race. A black person from Africa is likely part of a different, identifiable genetic pool than a white person from Germany. An Italian, even, is likely part of a different, identifiable genetic pool than a white person from Finland. Whether or not you choose to identify "Italian" as a race is subjective and, basically, irrelevant. The fact is that, by any accepted definition of race, Italians (as a whole) would be genetically separate from Finns.

There are many genetic bases for race. The fact is that much of the world is lazy with their racial descriptions. White is not a race, we agree. But that doesn't mean that there are no races. Your problem seems to be with lazy racial categorization.

Your bitching and whining is important to absolutely no one but yourself. Please take a moment to fill out this survey to relate your failed experiences with pissing and moaning.

Check all that apply.
You're still whining like a toddler because:
[ ] You mistakenly think that your opinion is a fact
[ ] You can't function in any other capacity if you didn't get the last word
[ ] It's the only way you can provoke anyone to speak to you
[ ] Crying incessantly worked on mommy, especially after daddy left her for the pool boy

Wehrmacht = All German armed forces in WW2. (Nazi membership not required)

Waffen-SS = Actual Nazi's


I am not sure why people keep throwing out Wehrmacht as an embodiment of evil.

Waffen-SS would more fit that description if that is what people were looking for.

yes, there is. "race" can mean different things. Do you seriously correct someone when they say "the african american race?" you know precisely what they mean. stop being stupid.

Well I would know they were an idiot. If I was feeling extra dickish I'd call them out for being an idiot. You've gone on and on about genetics and etc, but you say "african american race" Yeah umm black people in the US is what you mean. Genetically you are standing on pretty weak ground with that.

Yes, that's precisely what is meant. it's a lot more succinct to say "african american race" than it is to say "group of black people who live in and/or have ancestors who lived in the US." If the meaning has been conveyed, then the word has fulfilled its purpose - regardless of whether or not you think it's idiotic.

The problem is when the meanings of words have different connotations than intended, or conversely when meanings are implied via certain choice of words or style of writing.

English is a wonderful language in that sense. But one must guard against intellectual laziness: either mean what you say, or say what you mean, or both. Only bad people and intellectual sloths use insufficiently specific language or subterfuge when involved in a serious conversation. You sir, are guilty of at least one of these offenses.

Okay how are black people in the US genetically different than black people from other places?

Irrelevant. Nobody said that race was exclusively determined by genetics. On the other hand, I have yet to encounter any white African Americans.

No. "African American" implies ancestry from native sub-Saharan Africa. There have been a few cases of people who were not black attempting to claim African American status for one reason or another and they have been essentially uniformly rejected.

Personally. my gr-gr-gr-grandfather was black. but that's a very small percentage of non-white blood. Most people who know me would probably think i was teasing them if i told them about my grandfather.

I make no claims about my heritage. It is what it is - genealogy and records can show me who I come from but it's up to me to show the world what kind of person I am. Personally i don't identify with one race more than any other. I think we should stop segregating ourselves into different categories and just be people.

Of course you haven't because your definition boils down to black people. Seriously you make something up (or rather you follow along with something other people have made up) and draw the lines and then try to act like something that is outside of the lines you've drawn, supports your own assumptions. Srsly you might as well have just said "Sports cars can only be red, I've never seen a sports car that wasn't red"

Guess what? that's what language is. All of the words you're using were made up by other people! *GASP*

There's a genetic component to race because that's what the word means. pretending it doesn't exist won't cause it to go away and won't cause people to stop using it. If anything, attempts to consciously and deliberately eliminate words from common vernacular have been uniformly and utterly met with complete failure. (ex. "******")

I'm adopted, and I have no idea what my heritage is. I also don't care to find out. I have less of a stake in this than anyone else. The only thing I care about is people being crucified for speaking frankly about race and genetics. Being called a racist for stating that skin tone is genetically heritable is probably the most ludicrous thing I've heard in recent memory, but that's precisely what is occurring here.

Lol once again you go back to how it is in fact a social construct, and then imply genetic differences without actually saying anything about genetics.

By the way nice attempt at trying to dodge how your entire position is based on intellectual shallowness. Don't even try to dress it up all nice for the party.

Of course I'm not saying that. There's not a uniformly accepted list of races. Depending on who you ask, you may get anywhere from three to dozens. With that in mind, in modern dialogue, there are racial distinctions that run along social and geographic boundaries that don't strictly follow genetics. Is "African American" a race, or an ethnicity? You will find people that argue both. In either case, the term is strictly defined by both genetics and geography.

i think the above statement is inaccurate.

"there are some physical traits that seem to be expressed more frequently together than apart."

would be more accurate and i think that's what you are trying to say:

though. honestly...... i hold a bachelors degree in biology and have never heard of 'racially-linked genes'

OH Uthgaard? you heard of this?
