////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
As an example I took the test and received this assessment:You don't care about race. A person is a person and you judge people based on the individual. You have friends of all kinds of races, but you'll probably marry your own race. You're not averse to any particular race though. Suggestion: Live and Let Live Similar Personalities: Sammy Davis Jr., Bill Clinton, Bruce Lee. Obviously, it is just a simple quiz, and racism is more complex than that, but this is a beginning. I think I do have some racist tendencies (as evidenced by some of my comments to friend's posts~~in particular in regard to Obama and his Reverend~~and it made me think) and which this quiz did not pick up. I am going to REALLY explore what is going on inside me, and Shall write more about in the days and weeks ahead!! After all, they say "The Truth Shall Set You Free", and I guess I am going to find out if that is True!! Thanks!!

Everyone is different, and so are their answers--follow the link to actually take A similar test and get your answers!! The first test I took requires that you purchase a membership, so I found this other site for you!!


are you a racist

What Is A Politician?


I just received a very interesting email from a friend and thought I would pass it along for your entertainment:

The subject said "What is a Politician?", and then goes on to answer that question thusly:

So what is a politician?

'That’s a very good question. I'd like to thank you for asking me it. Well done, Let me reply by first stressing the need to consider that question in real terms. That is to say terms that physically exist. As opposed to imaginary, or 'rainbow, mushroom pixe terms'. Or other similar methods such as 'happy gnome logic', which we don’t entirely support at this time in our current topsey turvy nonsense legislation.However I think that on the balance of probabilities, and from a foreward thinking , multifaceted, pro-intergrational poly-lateral perspective, if we can regenergrate that particlar 'vocabulary' structure which you just metioned. On a stricly voluntary basis and using a foreward thinking person to person, me to you perspective. I think its quasi-certain, that movement on this subject could very well be retroactivly multi-achived. Not at this time, another time say in the next ten or twenty years, decades, or in the life of the next two or ten parliaments. And in some ways I think it's double-plus-good or even triple-plus-great that in a democracy people are allowed to raise questions such as this and have an answer given. Not necessarily a the type of answer they were expecting, or wanted not an answer in a convetional or ultra-literal sense. That would be quasi-bad-crimethink, and ultra-paxman scary. And that’s just not accepatble because no one wants psycho-knife consequences to quasi-bad crimethink do they?

Yes very interesting, but what is a Politician?

Again that’s a very interesting question, and there are nine points I should like to make in answer to it. Firstly to reiterate my semi-previous statement, in a contempory framework on a here and now basis. Exercising an us and them differentiation. And in a very real sense. Utilising a dynamic verbal communication interface. I think from a pro-certain stance. We can surly on a conversational level, come to a finalistically inclined conclusion on this particular point of reference, which you have drawn to my attention. I think a long- term UN backed; solution is the most viable answer to this particular commitment. Where by undertaking in consultation with other ministers, in gradual stages via a predetermined roadmap, and navigating with our moral compass we could more significantly towards resolving this question. In time I see no reason why we would be unable to come to a politically palatable, ingestion free conclusion. Which would not inappropriately vomit unplesantries on the face of credibility. I think fundamentally the points you have raised are interesting in the same way as crushing an insect is interesting, they are repulsive yet strangely fascinating. I think that perhaps in one way, but not too many ways that, this question is not the most important that we could answer. And that what we actually need to ask-ourselves is how is economy? Is it dead or just maimed? Well I can tell you now that I’ve seen its obituary, and we all know who killed it. Tories. But is it enough to stand chattering over it’s corpse, or should we get out the spades and bury it? And I think it’s important to remember that only a government free from crime-think, sex wrong and money-gloat. Can realistically on a national and international level contemplate answering such a controversial and upsetting question.

Thats all very well, But what is a Politician?

Will if you'll allow me to return to the issue at hand , immigration, I'm all for it. As long as it's carried out in the right circumstances, on a non-existant basis. As long as the immigrants all come from the same country as we do. I have no problem with it. I mean do we really want foreigners and their strange diseases, to be callously placed in very real proximity to actual people? Is that what we want? Our traditional British diseases like typhoid, and tuberculosis, swamped by cheap foreign imports like, daigo fever and gespatcho stomach. And how do we know these immigrants are human like us? After all they’ve lived abroad. Who knows what sort of warped and twisted morality operates there. On the other hand they might be perfectly nice ‘people’. However can we be sure they don’t lack any sense of conscience or empathy, beyond the sort of contempt, a ravenous vulture might show to a corpse. The answer is we can’t, and I in a far reaching sense don’t want to wait until we find out.

But what in God's name is a Politician!

Well I think from a religious perspective, there is of course a great deal of very real difference in opinion on this particular type of matter which is in this current time part of the complex social framework of this nation. And I think we all realise that these sort of questions may look innocent, but so do cute fluffy mice, and they carried the plague.

Oh to hell with this I'll go somewhere else...

Funny? I don't know! True? Maybe!!

Have A Great Wednesday!! :)
