re losers was re stop putting down white het males in article tecsun tec army mil riggs descartes etl army mil bill riggs writes in article apr galileo cc rochester edu as b uhura cc rochester edu tree of schnopia writes in apr jato jpl nasa gov michael neuron jpl nasa gov michael rivero writes i don t know what you as a white male did i do know what white males as a class have done they ve invented the light bulb the automobile the airplane printing with movable type photography computers the electric guitar anasthesia rocket powered space flight the computer electricity the telephone tv motion pictures penecillin sp telescopes nylon and the x ray machine two glaring errors here first white males don t do anything as a class individual white males invented those things which means nothing to white males as a whole second you neglected to mention charles manson hitler mccarthy jack the ripper ted bundy and a whole slew of individuals who have done horrible evil things if white males can take the credit for our fellow white males boons we must also take the blame for our fellows blights i claim we deserve neither credit nor blame for these things white males need to wake up and realize that they re being unfair yes but everyone else needs to wake up and realize that being unfair right back is disgusting racist and sexist why can t we learn to treat everyone fairly without generalizing what stupidity gene makes this so difficult i d like to buy the world a clue the word that is missing in this whole discourse is not the b word or the h word or even the n or w words it is the l word loser that s right when we boil all the crap out of this argument it is all about winning and losing and nothing else let me explain in the meantime there is guilt for winning maybe a fear that one doesn t deserve one s bounty or success so there is a kinder and gentler type of politician these days bill clinton affirmative action and lots of discourse about people who don t get it for those of us in the winning business this kind of talk is mildly irritating but there is still no suggestion of losing who is d fens anyway the answer is as plain as the horn rims on your face the guy is michael douglas posing as a loser this is known as controversial casting but that baggy short sleeved white shirt sure does look natural on mike doesn t it gordon gekko will never look the same though woody always dressed that way did we really expect gekko to take it easy and enjoy that kind of wardrobe without putting up a fuss what we are starting to lose sight of is that bashing d fens is the same game as bashing that poor african american slug that clint eastwood used to blow away all the time as that arch wasp male gender george c scott declaimed americans traditionally love to win they love a winner and will not tolerate a loser and so on since we are talking in theory and opinion then i ll put in my first a rebuttle personally i love under dogs unlike bandwagon jumpers i abandon teams when they start winning people that cheer for winners just because they are winners are insecure people who are afraid to be associated with something negative the political implications are simple if as many socialists and democrats do you consider society a finite pie to a apportioned in some equitable way then you have to worry about who is a winner and who is a loser to tell whose side you are on that could be black women today asian homosexuals tommorrow and yes indeed white men some yet to be determined day when the balance of the pie has finally swung against that minority on this one point i agree the reason that people bash wasp s is because they have been on top for a long time whoever is on top is going to oppress whoever is below them so that they can stay on top if hannibal had pushed on to rome after his victory at cannae we might all be bashing the blacks for oppressing us peacefull white people for all these centuries i seriously doubt that if the blacks had conquered the world that they would have treated their colonies any better worse than the whites did the white race did some unspeakable things to the other races of the world but they only did what any other conquering race would have done ie khan the real question is should we carry over that blame to the present generation who didn t participate in the crimes would it do any good has it done bosnia any good they are fighting wars that stopped hundreds even thousands of years ago my opinion is if there are inequities now then let s change them but don t blame me for what my ancestors did it wouldn t settle anything anyway either way you go the way of the winner is no longer the way to be popular at least after you graduate from high school but you ll still be popular at high school reunions but it beats being a nerd as i would imagine michael douglas would now agree and in the long run it is the only way to go that s where you are dead wrong you don t join up on a side just because they are winning that makes you spineless winning in high school and after high school is still the best way to be popular but it doesn t make you right all the best causes in history were loosing causes with only a couple exceptions winning only makes a difference to other people not to yourself and what good is the opinions of other people if they only care how you appear ie a winner if you can t beat them fight them every inch of the way bill r at that moment the bottom fell out of authur s mind garrett johnson his eyes turned inside out his feet began to leak out
