The Only Rule Of This Wiki Is:
We Are All Different.But If We Want To Call Ourselves Humans We Must Respect Each Other!!!


<img:http://elftown.heddate.com/img/drawing/41602_1090321880.jpg>


Intolerant? Afraid of everything that is 'strange'? Afraid of terrorism, or of being overruled? Feeling threatened?
A simple eye-opener:


Imagine the following situation.
A huge environmental disaster has taken place. The only place left on earth where the air is still safe and clean enough to breathe for the next ten years is - let's say - Iraq (...or China, or Denmark, or Ghana, any given place on earth that is not at all like the place where you are living NOW.) Fortunately, you have the possibility to flee to Iraq, together with your partner, your children, all your loved ones. Strange country, strange language, different culture that you know nothing about, different religion. How would YOU want to be treaten by the Iraqi's? Which kind of support would you be hoping to receive from the local residents? For instance, how would you want your children to be treaten at school? To which ones of your own moralities, habits, cultural traditions etc. would you want to hold on? How would you like the people there to respect you and your personal wishes and morality? In how far would you be willing to adjust to the Iraqi society rules and habits, their culture, their religion? Don't start yelling right away :) All I'm asking you to do is give five minutes of your time for considering these questions. Write down your answers, that might make it easier. And then try to realise that what YOU have written, YOUR personal wishes, YOUR hopes, the things YOU'd need to feel at home in a strange culture and in a strange country are exactly the kind of things that people with a different cultural background/religion want from YOU if they live in YOUR country. There's finally nothing weird or incomprehensible about that, is there..?
(Sure, you may copy and paste this little "test" to your home pages, diaries and guestbooks :)

ARE YOU AFRAID??


*** *** *** *** ***


Collective fear...



...stimulates herd-instinct. Stimulates hostility toward all those that are not considered Members of the Herd. And don't we have some REALLY good reasons to exclude people from the safety of our herd..?

*wrong skin-color
*wrong religion
*wrong outfit
*wrong attitude

I mean, what are we???

A BUNCH OF COWS??


<img://img171.exs.cx/img171/1632/warning1yb6rg.jpg><img://img171.exs.cx/img171/1632/warning1yb6rg.jpg>

What are we so afraid of? Let me tell you, though you already know... (and some of you won't like to hear this as they think they are sooo brave and cool...).

YOU are afraid of your own conscience! Because it says: we are NOT taking good care of eachother! We are sooo afraid to SHARE our wealth, 'cause just MAYBE we would have to be satisfied with a little less than what we have now...

Say you're not a racist? Maybe you aren't. I mean: you should know! Look in the mirror. Ask yourself: How do I feel about -let's say- Muslims? Preps? Skinheads? Would you, e.g., look upon a Goth as an individual? As a member of a strange clan? Would you walk up to him, ask him WHY he's into Gothic? Would you do that if he were with a group? How do you feel about people not being allowed to cover their head, or wear colors?
I don't have the answers. But: think! Analyze your opinions. Where do they come from? What values and principles were you brought up with? Taking certain opinions for granted without inquiring can lead toward racism. Or worse: discrimination in general!

(The following seems to have taken place once during a flight of a British Airways plane, on its way from Johannesburg to London.)

A white woman, about 50 years of age, finds her seat...next to a black man.
Visibly upset, she calls the hostess.
- "Can I help you Ma'am? Is there a problem?" the hostess asks.

- "Well, then...can't you SEE it??" the lady answers, "I have been given a seat next to a colored!! I do not wish to stay in the presence of a such repugnant creature! I couldn't bear it! Give me another seat!"

- "Please, calm down, Ma'am", says the hostess. "Almost every seat on this flight is taken. I will find out if there is any seat left."

The hostess returns after a couple of minutes.
- "Ma'am, just like I feared, there is not one seat left on economy class. I have spoken to the flight commander, and he has confirmed that on business class, there are no available seats either. But...there IS one on first class..."

Before the lady can make any comments, the hostess continues:
- "It is VERY uncommon for our flight company to allow passengers from economy class to transfer to first class. But, regarding the circumstances, we are willing to make an exception. The commander says it would be a disgrace to make someone sit next to a such disagreeable person."

And turning toward the black man, she says:
- "So, sir, if you wish, you can take your hand luggage, and go to first class, where a seat is waiting for you."

All the other passengers, who had overheard the conversation and were shocked, gave the hostess a standing ovation.


NOTE: As you see this wiki has a password! It didn't have one before! This is because some people who disagree with the Anti-Racism ideal tried to destroy this page!

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Heyy, [MadBiscuit], how are YOU? Are you on the AR list? Maybe I've seen your name there... Don't remember... I'm having an...errm...intense conversation with someone. Not inDECENT, inTENSE!

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: I'm sure its not indecent. *cough* I am very good thank you, the sun is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiining!

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Here too!!! Finally!!!

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: :D Where do you live?

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Netherlands! It's in my bio! Yes, I know it's long...but so is YOURS!

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: lol thats true. you remind of my friend Luke. I miss him, its the holidays and we've had hardly any contact at all.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Why do I remind you of him? Something in my bio? Is your friend Luke an Elftowner?

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: No and no. But the way you talk is so like him. :( I'm missing him loads.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Aww...when will he be back?? Soon??

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: September. He'd love to be here; his dads gay.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: When he gets back, you can 'introduce' him to ET! I'd like to meet him. Until he's back we can talk a little, if you miss him! You know now where to find me! His dad's gay?? Is he being brought up by two dads then?? Or was his dad with his MOM first, and THEN found out he was gay??

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: His dad was with his mum first, then they split up and his dad got together with someone called James.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Wow, that is...heavy... Do they get along well?

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: Yeah, they do. they even like the same books.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: oh..that's good! So they've all accepted it?

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: yeah i think.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Happened to my friend,too. Her dad KNEW he was gay, but it was in the 50's, and NOT accepted. He HAD to marry, so that people wouldn't know. Had 2 children, one of which is my friend. When his children were old enough to live on their own, he divorced his wife and now lives together with another man.

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: Wow...

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: Only, her mom (HIS wife) was not so happy...I guess she thought she could change him...

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: you can't change what you are. you can try but it doesn't work. I know from experience.

2004-08-04 [Blue Highway]: No, you're right: you can't! And you don't HAVE to, as long as you are happy with who and what you are. But people are always trying to change eachother. Weird. You find someone you like or even love. And next thing is you spend all your time CHANGING him/her...

2004-08-04 [MadBiscuit]: I don't want to fall for anyone anytime soon. The last two times, I just got hurt.

2004-08-05 [Pale-Suzie]: hm, yeah, it's weird how we always seem to want to change eachother for some reason...

2004-08-05 [MadBiscuit]: I try not to.

2004-08-06 [Shee A'beanne Alainn]: hey

2004-08-06 [Shee A'beanne Alainn]: yeah I know.....and then you can't sleep, and are dizzy and out of it all the time....not to mention sun burns...

2004-08-06 [MadBiscuit]: I don't get burnt a lot, my skins really dark.

2004-08-06 [Shee A'beanne Alainn]: lucky.....no sunburns.....plus dark skin always looks pretty...no fair

2004-08-06 [MadBiscuit]: lol its one of the good things about being black.

2004-08-16 [MadBiscuit]: yeah i was waiting for someone to say something...

2004-08-17 [Er0s]: how are you doing?

2004-08-17 [MadBiscuit]: not good...my dad keeps exotic plants in the conservatory and ive just brushed against one. there are a load of really fine yellow hairs in me. and now my arm stinks of anti septic.

2004-08-17 [Er0s]: Hmmm.... I am in school I have to go some time soon. but for now I am just hanging out on the pc.

2004-08-17 [MadBiscuit]: poor you you have to go to school.

2004-08-17 [Er0s]: yeah, I get to get on the pc though. at home I am lonely cuz I cant get on et

2004-08-17 [MadBiscuit]: im just lonely coz im on my own all the time.

2004-08-17 [Er0s]: do you live on your own? or you dont have many friends

2004-08-17 [MadBiscuit]: lol i have friends but they all live a long way away, and i cant leave home yet im not old enough. its just my parents are at work all the time and my best friend lives in caistor which is like 12 and a half miles from here so I can't just go round to her house.

2004-08-17 [Blue Highway]: hey...this all sounds very sad... :(

2004-08-17 [MadBiscuit]: nah, i have people here who i can talk to. when the computers working.

2004-08-17 [Er0s]: ooh, yeah me to I move alot and my family is in diff. places I cant see them all at one time

2004-08-17 [Er0s]: yeah I love et dont you?

2004-08-17 [Blue Highway]: and when it's NOT working?? Yesterday I got disconnected a couple of times, always when I was in the middle of a good conversation...that REALLY pisses me off...I panicked...

2004-08-17 [MadBiscuit]: yeah me too. sometimes i feel like kicking in my computer and then eating it.

2004-08-20 [baked and toasted]: death to all fucking racist peices of shit!!!

2004-08-20 [Pale-Suzie]: well that would be nice, but wihsing all racist dead is actually being a racist yourself... you're judging them purely on their opinions on one subject.

2004-08-20 [MadBiscuit]: she does have a point...

2004-08-21 [Dulce Vita]: MadBiscuit, if you talking about elvenshroomer having a point, then it's being racist, in fact it's almost worse than the KKK hating "coloreds" (not being racist) in the form that she wishes that a large population of the world would die.

2004-08-21 [Er0s]: your being racist againist racist ppl elvenshroomer, your a hypocrite. dont like what someone does not them, that is how racist starts it doesnt have to be a person with diff color.

2004-08-21 [Blue Highway]: Err...I'm sure he MEANT well...don't be so harsh on him...I think he gets your point now. What this world need is a lot of love and understanding, to open people's eyes. Both racists and hypocrites... *blinks* How are you, [Er0s]? Miss [a clockwork orange]??

2004-08-21 [Er0s]: I cant eat. I have lost 5 pounds in a week. I been writing in a journal to tell her stuff I might forget and I am writiing a poem book

2004-08-21 [MadBiscuit]: I was actually talking about Curly having a point. But you should eat, not eating isn't good.

2004-08-21 [MadBiscuit]: By the way I'm off to Norfolk today so I won't be here until next Saturday night/Sunday morning.

2004-08-29 [carrot_queen]: go look at [HoTtIe WiTh A nAuGhTy BoDy] house, we had a long winded argument in which she called blacks second class and disgusting, she also says she believes in the cleansing of the huma race and is "proud of i" ive reported her nd if she doesnt get banned from ET then im leaving. they cant allow this sort of behaviour. its dispicable

2004-08-29 [Blue Highway]: did you look at her age..? it makes me so sad...young people already poisoned by people in their environment, friends, family...before they had a chance to look at the world from a different angle, and build their own opinion...she says in her bio she hates 'sheep', but she's like a whole FLOCK of sheep on her own...only wanting to shock people in order to get attention...but she'll never admit it...

2004-08-29 [carrot_queen]: i know, thats what i said to her, i said your only following that because you think it will make poeple see you as soeone not to be crossed but in reality shes just lost and lonely with noone to turn to. shes isolated herself because of this

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: i don't know what to say about a person like that... personaly i hate nazis, manly because my family are jews, and i can thank ppl like her for making both my dad, and my grandmoms life a fucking nightmare... she should try meeting somebody from a kz camp, jsut breaking down crying over some pictures of her family before they where all killed... she has no fucking idea what that does to ppl... on the other hand i belive everybody has the right to have their own opinions, even opnions like that... i just... how can ppl be THAT STUPID!?

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: She should be fucking banned. Anyone want to send hatemail?

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: no, don't send hate-mail, that would be going down on her level... but she should be thankful i haven't met her in person... last nazi i met i almost broke his fingers... well he was kinda asking for it, he knew that i have jewish family, and yet he drew a huge... what's it called... nazi sign on my tabel... i call that asking for a beating. but still, it isn't the right thing to do, and she will soon realise what sad case she is.

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: meh, so long as she realises. jesus i am so mad right now...

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: yeah, me to... but i don't want to send her hatemail, because, hey, we could get banned for that... and that would only help her...

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: true, true. i cant believe people like that still exist.

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: neither can i... but they do, and there's a lot of them...

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: You gonna report her?

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: what's there to report her about? she has the right to her opinions, just like we do... so as long as she hasn't written anything to you, you really can't do much... sadly.

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: Yeah...they should change the rules about that.

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: no, because if they did, they would have to kick out ppl everytime someone got offended, and then she could kick out ppl for being black. or us for not agreeing with her... it jsut couldn't work like that...

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: Hmm...I should think things through...*sigh* I miss my mates, I haven't seen some of them the entire summer.

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: oh, poor you, why haven't you seen them?

2004-08-29 [Blue Highway]: They DO kick them out...I reported someone who spread hatred against gay people...she was blocked immediately...but I sent this [HoTtIe WiTh A nAuGhTy BoDy] a message, because I was wondering what she's really like...maybe i should wait and see if I get a reply. Probably hate-mail, but I can deal with that...but who knows, maybe she's not all THAT bad. And if she IS, we should password-protect this wiki, I guess :)

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: well i think that's the right way to do it, we don't know yet if she only does it to get attention.

2004-08-29 [Blue Highway]: she will never admit it, either way...but i copied the text of this wiki (Are you afraid...etc., in fact, I wrote it...) edited it a little bit to adjust it to her situation, added a rather FRIENDLY comment...just want to try and make her think, for herself.)

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: yeah, well hopefully it will work, and if it doesn't, then i guess we have to report her.

2004-08-29 [Blue Highway]: Hehe! Yes..hopefully it works...but we will never know...she won't change her opinion in one day, and let all ET know that she has 'seen the light' :) :) But maybe on this day she will at least BEGIN to look at things differently... For me, they can ban her after she read my message...I'm going to check who is in her relations list, maybe more like her?

2004-08-29 [Pale-Suzie]: well she might be a nice person eventhough she is about as ignorant as a.... well, nothing really is that ignorant. anyways, i hope she 'sees the light' as you said, but i doubt it.

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: i hope so too.

2004-08-29 [Blue Highway]: Maybe some day she will, when she's older. For now, I don't expect any 'miracles'...but I firmly believe that there is good in everyone, though sometimes you have to dig in deep...

2004-08-29 [MadBiscuit]: very deep, for some people I know.

2004-08-31 [Er0s]: baby can we talk till I have to get off? (pokes bottom lip out)

2004-08-31 [Er0s]: lilith

2004-08-31 [Er0s]: walks out.

2004-09-02 [Young J.C.]: The best way to stop racism is not to bring it up! Stop talking about it and eventually it will go away. As long as we have people like you guys who think they are making a difference are only making it worse. Just shut up about it and don't speak it is the best way to let racism to disappear.

2004-09-02 [Gone Travelling]: Aren't you just saying, Ignorance is Bliss?? Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there... I seriously doubt sometimes that racism will disappear, it's sad to be so pessimistic, but it's what i believe to be true.

2004-09-02 [gothicmoo]: To be truly honest...prejudice is part of human nature...you look at someone, and think "god I bet they like to break things/do drugs stc...) simple as that...if it isn't racism, its someones clothes or accent. Don't get me wrong, speaking out is fine, it just won't make any difference to the human nature

2004-09-02 [Young J.C.]: [Gone Travelling], I highly doubt racism will never disappear neither, but why bother bringing it up? Just let it try to fade out. And to be prjeudice [gothicmoo], everyone is prejudice, no one likes everything.

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: I don't mean to be rude [Young J.C.] but if you don't like talking about racism, why are you talking about it now? By all means express your opinion because we welcome it. I believe racism should be talked about to prevent us all from becoming ignorant. And yes, you both are right, nobody likes everything, but atleast here we can have an open mind.

2004-09-03 [Young J.C.]: I spoke of it to try to get people to realize what they are doing wrong.

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: Remember the 60's? I deffinately wasn't here when they were but i've been educated in the moral values that were expressed so freely then. John Lennon's famous song 'Imagine' was about achieving peace. How much was achieved then? A lot... i'm thinking... Gay Liberation, womens liberation movement, the assult on marriage law etc etc

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: Doing wrong? We have chosen to be here and to speak about racism. I can't see anything wrong about that. If not bringing it up is your way of dealing with the conflicts around you then, you do that.

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: However, if you ever wish to speak further, then we'll be here =)

2004-09-03 [Young J.C.]: People are kind of being force to like them because of the goverment. The government is being forde to reenforce them laws.

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: Some people's opinions will never change and that is sad. The government isn't being forced to do anything, their decisions on laws are based on an agreement between the majority. The government bringing in laws like these is good for the new generation, who will grow up around people who are accepting and open minded. I think that is best for all of us.

2004-09-03 [Young J.C.]: The Government is so secretive and the weight that all those GLAAD and all the other programs have on the Government is ridiclious. But, I am not close minded, I once was til I realized how many of my friends were bi and I couldn't do nothing about it except accept them.

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: The Government have to pass laws through parliament (think about how many different people are in parliament) however much 'weight' any outside program is placing on the government will be filtered out by people who have sense and go by their own moral values. My friend [Blue Highway] told me this yesterday: All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, for they dream their dreams with open eyes, and make them come true... We, at anti-racism are dreamers of the day.

2004-09-03 [Young J.C.]: Alright. I would love for all racism to stop. But I highly don't it will, there will always be that one person that was raised to be racist he will speak of it to remind others about racism, Racism will never die! I hated to say it, but the truth lives on.

2004-09-03 [Gone Travelling]: Maybe, but if i could have an affect on even one person, i would be happy.

2004-09-03 [Young J.C.]: I would too, I think racism is something that no one should ever discuss amongst others or even thinking of racism.

2004-09-03 [deus-ex-machina]: a good way to help stop racism would be to end organised religion. the media only fuels racial hate, they make us ignorant to groups of people. why, i couldn't think of 10 people who could find it in them to say they appreciate islam. most muslims, for example, are black or of middle eastern background. we are made to fear islam, or hate it. meh, forgive me. basically, end religion, force media to be unbias and to stop promoting hate. if something i said confused you, just ask me, i'll try and make myself clearer. feel free to disagree.

2004-09-03 [Blue Highway]: the idea is good...but have you thought of a way to achieve this..?

2004-09-03 [MadBiscuit]: I doubt that Muslims are going to give up their beliefs very easily. Or Christians like myself, for that matter.

2004-09-03 [deus-ex-machina]: well, that's it. it can't be achieved (very easily anyway)... fundamentalist christians teach their children racism is right... and muslims have their whole jihad thing. so, lol, as long as it never turns into lynchings on the street, i can deal with racisms existance. i have to, really, otherwise i'd go mad in this day and age.

2004-09-03 [deus-ex-machina]: "fundamentalist christians teach their children racism is right" = 1) jews killed jesus, so they must hate the jews 2) christianity is the only correct religion, so all other religions are in essence inferior. the word fundamentalist is like, majorly crucial.

2004-09-03 [Blue Highway]: Imagine you are God...people doing these things in your name...I don't know if there is a God or not...maybe I should hope there isn't. He'd feel terrible about this...or laugh at it!

2004-09-03 [deus-ex-machina]: If God is Christian, he SHOULD be like 'well, don't blame the jews, i made him give up his life, you know? blame me! everyone blames me for everything else"... i have very little knowledge on islam... *shrugs* i won't say anything in order to not be ignorant and offend.

2004-09-03 [MadBiscuit]: 1)according to my beliefs, it wasnt just the jews that killed jesus, it was all of us, our sins that put him there. 2) jesus had to die as part as gods masterplan, otherwise we would be unable to gain eternal life and just rot in hell for all eternity. 3) No christians I have ever known have ever taught their children that racism is right. And I've known a lot of Christians.

2004-09-03 [Blue Highway]: How many Christians do you know that teach their children racism is wrong because they actually BELIEVE it wrong...and not out of some misplaced feeling of superiority..."Look at us...look how tolerant and humane we are..! Again: ASK YOURSELF. What ARE your motives? Where DO your opinions come from? Would you still be tolerant and NOT a racist if you had grown up in a Muslim-country? Among KKK members? Right wing Christians?

2004-09-03 [MadBiscuit]: I'm not saying my religion is blameless or pure or perfect. I'm just saying that most of us don't hate Jews.

2004-09-03 [deus-ex-machina]: i'm a catholic from an irish background. go to ireland, hear the racism, lol. well, go to port laois, that's where i go. a lot of pastors too seem quite strict. and i'm not questioning the truth here, i'm just telling you what i've seen. and i find people tell their children racism is wrong because it is wrong, not because they believe that is the case. my grandmother is a devout catholic, told me to treat all the same. for whatever reason, she hates immigrants, homosexuals, anyone 'foreign' who has lived in britain their whole lives but do not have white skin. pretty hypocritical considering she was born in ireland, eh? lol

2004-09-03 [Blue Highway]: I know. Wasn't trying to offend you. The fact that you are not trying to avoid these discussions maybe proves that you ARE thinking...that you are not one of the ignorant! I don't expect anyone or anything to be blameless, pure or perfect...I just expect people to THINK...critisize their own behaviour if necessary, NOT be ignorant and take things for granted.

2004-09-03 [Young J.C.]: No religion will every be perfect, pure, or even close to being perfect. There are so many religions, how would you know who is telling the truth? Buddhism was out much longer then christainity has been. But, Buddhism is not really consider a religion, they don't believe in a God, they meditate to become enlighten and together much wisdom.

2004-09-04 [reaper of time]: really the government change an idea or thought locked in someones mind thats why the government cant do anything for anti-rascism or anti dicremination

2004-09-06 [Dragonite]: I hate racism, but can't denie that it will live on

2004-09-06 [Young J.C.]: Thank you. Racism, at this moment is physical impossible to see it disappear. As long as we and others in this world speak of it, the lengency of racism will always live on.

2004-09-11 [nameless, again]: Have any of you seen American History X? Starts off strong/vulgar but ends with a strong moral impact...tis' a good movie...

2004-09-11 [Young J.C.]: Never heard of that movie. But, I did like Rosewood though.

2004-09-11 [a clockwork orange]: i've seen it! and i liked it!

2004-09-11 [deus-ex-machina]: i thought american history x was a good movie. not for the ending though. throughout it gave a realistic view, imitating the sleezey lives people have. it gave a reason for racism (which i'm sure is just if you were the characters) but then, well, you've seen it. the ending up to when you have the narration... that is shitty. i suppose it just goes to show there's a cycle and gang land black men are very petty? lol, see... i didn't think it was a good ending.

2004-09-11 [Pale-Suzie]: yeah, i think it's a good movie, just had to write an essay about for school... it seems like danish teachers love it, at least i don't know many who's not had to see it in school. (and i don't know any who's complained about it ^_^) i think it's a real good film, that you (at least i did) keep on thinking about long after you've seen it...

2004-09-12 [Lioness123]: I wish there were a wiki against the KKK....I can't believe they even exist anymore in this day-and-age.

2004-09-12 [Young J.C.]: The KKK isn't just agaisn't blacks, they hate faggets, wife beaters, and I think jews too.

2004-09-12 [Lioness123]: oh, I think they hate everybody who isn't exactly like them.

2004-09-12 [Young J.C.]: Pretty much I suppose.

2004-09-12 [deus-ex-machina]: they hate catholics... so pretty much that isn't protestant with blue eyes and blonde hair really. lol. and yeah, someone should do the KKK, but they need proof and a good knowledge of what they do before they start spreading hate.

2004-09-12 [Young J.C.]: They are just hateful son-of-a-bitches!

2004-09-12 [Pale-Suzie]: heh, the whole blue eyed thing i find ironic... i mean, i have blue eyes, i have blond hair i am protestant (well i'm a member of the danish protestant church, not that i had a say in the matter... -_-) if you had to judge me out of their criteria, i would fit in perfectly... at least at first sight, because, it if they took the time to really get to know me, they would discover the most my family on my dads side are jews (again, not that it really makes a big difference, hence pretty much all of them, with the exception of maybe 5 or 6 of them, were killed by the nazis) the whole blue eyed thing just seem shallow to me... cause in the end, you would have to kill most of them anyway...

2004-09-13 [Lioness123]: didn't hitler say that the superior people were the ones with blonde hair and blue eyes, and yet, he had brown hair and brown eyes

2004-09-13 [Young J.C.]: But, Hitler was not part of that race neither.

2004-09-13 [deus-ex-machina]: he thought aryans were perfect which was why he wanted his world to be made of them. he was stubby and ugly, but he was the fuhrer so no one had much of a say when it came to pointing out 'you know, hitler, you don't really have blonde hair or blue eyes'...

2004-09-13 [Young J.C.]: At first he wasn't though. He was weak. He had no military.

2004-09-13 [deus-ex-machina]: he was always weak... even when he was a soldier he was hardly the fittest of men. and no one starts off with a military, but what counted was that he ended up with one.
