well i can see what your saying it be different about the war thing but either way its still immigration . no matter how you look at it, its people trying to go to a different part from where their coming from. So, just because we fought killed native Americans and Mexicans cant do that doesn't mean its any different if anything it just makes us look that much worse and we just got lucky with the scenario at certain times. now i don't think any illegal immigration is right, because a law is a law and if you break it, then that wrong and thats just the way the government works, but to say its different now is absurd
i think that these are two different thoughts entirely. Just because you believe you have a better chance then someone else doesn't mean that's racist. i think if anything its cultural racism, because if you saw a poor white person on the street your obviously going to think you might have a better chance to succeed. i think racism is the feeling for hating someone because of their origins and how they live, not because you think you might be better off. but maybe im wrong and i am white and maybe i just cant see it, i think sam would just be proud im trying to think about it.
South Park has been a show that has been around as long as i could at least understand humor. At first i just liked it because it was a foul dirty mouth show that my mom and dad didn't want me to watch and so of course that's the only reason i watched it. but as i got older i really recognized some of the message they were started to get across and by college time i was in amazement how they could take a situation that was going on in the world, and really nail it and show you how stupid it is and what the lesson you should learn from the stupidity of some people. Well when i heard about this episode of Muhammad i didn't think much of it until they said they could get bombed for showing Muhammad on their show. I think i remember laughing out loud when i heard that. i just can't imagine a group being so mad to kil someone because they are going to show their version of their prophet, not even their god, and its going to be in cartoon form!!!! what these ignorant douche bag rebels don't realize is they already showed MUHAMMAD IN ONE OF THEIR FIRST EPISODES WITH THE JESUS IN A SUPERHEROS EPISODE! So it boggles my mind to judge a television show that is completely unbiased and has even showed him before but now you want to kill him if they show your prophet. im sorry i get what Sam says about most Muslims but you don't see anyone else going to this extreme for showing something on television. and they live IN NEW YORK CITY! they say shit like this, they live where September 11th happened and can still get away with this? you know why? because we live in America where even their free rights matter. So, i guess i just will never understand how you can be so thick headed and to watch their show and now threaten them. The south park creators wanted to show it but comedy central censored it, which is crazy to think they felt that strong about it. But Seth McFarlane, creator of Family Guy talked about this issue with Larry king said "how far do you take it, if its the funniest joke in the world, is it worth dying for, sometimes its just not worth it" but south park creators also talked about it, and said if they dont show it, hen they would be contradicting themselves from what they have done all their lives. So im really torn what i would do, i guess every person would be different, but i know one thing i really hope that these radicals are found and get what they deserve for threatening to kill someone if they show a cartoon of someone. As Jon Stewart said on his show the other day, Hey revloution muslims, Go fuck yourselves!
i ate the second piece like most people did because if you didnt then your a hypocrite. as sam said unless you plan on to never eat slave choclate again then thats fine, but if you are then at lest eat it. and yes it didn't taste good going down, but at least i wasnt like you, who is now a hypocrite and probably forgot about this the next day and ate a big Hershey bar. it is obviously wrong and i will try to eat slave free choclate if i get the chance, but theres not much i can do for them. for those of you who didnt eat it, i would feel weird inside to not eat it because unless you plan on giving up choclate, you had the choice not to be a hypocrite, and yet you still were.
i feel that no matter what, that every guy in the world conforms some way to fit into society. i am from the so called boondocks, and i usually wear camo and boots and so on when i am in my home town. but when i go out to the city near us or to state college i feel though as i have to "dress up" so that i kind of fit in. i mean i know thats bad but until people can get comfortable with how people wear their clothes weather it be a Muslim or a country kid then i dont se people not trying to fit in.
i think it is a combination of knuckle head and patriot in a sense. he is trying to keep them out im guessing, its hard to understand his logic sometimes, but to keep them out because of jobs and illegality. which i agree with, because i live in a small town where we are losing jobs because of this, and illegal aliens,a re what they are, illegal, a law is a law, whether it be stealing or killing, or something like that. but the way he presents it and some of his reasoning is absurd. but everyone has their opinion and he has some good intentions at heart, but just not really representing them in a smart way
well we all agree that this is something that is disgusting and wrong. but it brings up a good point that we wouldn't play this, but we play shooter games. yes there different, and you would say that you would never kill anyone. but if i said i would never rape anyone its the same, so how are they different? i think its sick but i don't think it should be censored if killing games aren't, its a double standard. i just don't get where in our society that we think its ok for kids to play killing games but not raping games? im not for or against either way its just a weird thing to think about.
i just love the way he presented himself while asking this question. you cane easily see that he is a hard guy, that thinks he is what he is and he will never change for anybody no matter what. if you don't honestly your opinion has not changed on at least one of these topics, then you are kidding yourself. When Sam has said some of these topics of race and inequality and the Indians, i guarantee that you didn't know all that before this class, you might have your own little smug thoughts, but you didn't know the facts. So you find out the facts and your opinion no matter what you think, will change slightly now knowing what the true fact is. your knowledge changes, so your opinion changes. i agree to a sense about maybe not changing the way i run my life, im from a small town little diversity, and i like who i am and who i have become, so my life is going to get flipped around by this class, but somethings that i thought i knew were off and i changed the facts in my head, so in essence it has made a different. i understand the question isn't have you learned anything, but in reality its sort of the same question. its just to broad of a question, has my opinion changed on native Americans, yes, blacks, no. i mean to say you haven't changed your opinion on anything, even in the slightest, of what he has talked about is being a true ass hole, in my opinion of course. Yes i agree with some of the people at the top that he sometimes goes off topic, and says stuff in his opinion, but what teacher doesn't? most people probably heard about this class, heard it was easy and heard it was interesting so they took it. but when he gets into the controversial stuff, instead of opening your ears, you automatically judge, and then just call him crazy cause its not your opinion. i mean are you really that scared to change that whenever he starts talking you just need to think this isn't me, and not pay attention? also, i just think its hilarious that people are still talking about bleeding in this and about how he should not have brought it up, if you get that offended by it, that's crazy, its college, not 3rd grade, don't be IMMATURE PEOPLE. And people who say that he makes fun of God then gave us 200 words on why god is good? i am a christian and what you did there was pretty hypocritical, you bash the guy for talking about god in one way, then you talk about him in another. it all comes back to people cant take change apparently and they think they know all the right answer by 19. i just wish the people who said no opinion has changed, re-look at the class and notes and really think that theres nothing that changed in your mind?
i think if we got rid of welfare that our economy would be worse then it is right now. we need people to spend money for us to survive, so if we got rid of peoples money then we would hurt everyone else too. i don't believe people should get welfare and should have to work, but we started something like this we cant just stop it because like i said it would hurt our economy even more and ruin more then just the people who are on welfare's lives. Our social status would be ruined just as bad. so there is no good coming if we get rid of it.
i am probably the exact opposite and born into an all white hometown and area. this at first wasn't a big deal because we lived next to a big city where there is a lot of colored people, but i never got that exposure that i should of and probably didn't hit the re vision stage till college. Also, taking this class made me realize how i thought all through high school about some colored people were wrong and very off. i am just glad that not just this class, but this school made me realize the truth and glad that i learned it now, before i got into the real world and made some really stupid mistakes
