< Embracing the diversity of other people is our only hope> And after several generations of this philosophy, the human race will be a blend of black, brown, yellow, red, white. Probably some shade of ??????. Do you really want your particular variation to disappear into the blend? Are all variants of the current Humanity equal in skills, intelligence, dexterity, ambition, and assorted other capabilities? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? We do have our opinions both pro and con. What are the facts? Are there facts? Really? Because of genetic imperfections some choose not to procreate in order to protect the gene pool. What results from those who do the opposite? D'ya reckon Mommy Nature or Daddy Creator will work it all out? do you want them to? Wheeew, that oughta' stir 'em up! Lets get some discussion goin'here folks. The thread's been dormant tooooo long.

JF every ethnic group has criminal members They do? You're kidding me. I've no idea what you think such an article proves, or why you post it. Did I flunk the Motives Test? Damn. Isn't it funny how purveyors of Diversity can get really upset when they run into people whose ideas cross the line of Political Correctness? Eternal vigilance is the price of policing Opinion Heresy. Just a thought. I know the race of the victims, but I might be guilty of Improper Thought if I described them. It might even be Sexist if I mentioned that the rape victims were girls/women, so I better not mention that. They were Humans of Indeterminate Gender. The crime happened in a place I often frequented when I was in high school, since you demand an explanation of why I should find it worth posting. I don't think we feared much of anything when we would go there. No one can remember a crime of this sort in those canyons. The only thing close was the infamous Lemon Heights Bandit. But he was only an urban legend. This gang was a "tagger crew", grafitti vandals. From what I've learned, as this wonderful new public art form has spread across southern California, tagger crews are often quite violent. I think that tagging followed by a bit of rape and mayhem may come under the protection of Freedom of Speech, as it is part of the tagger art genre. Their arrest may be Unconstitutional. We can always hope that white kids will embrace tagging in ever greater numbers, as they appear to be shirking. But maybe we can lure them away from serial killing and into the world of tagger gangs with proper education.
