I know things are changing with male nurses and female...uh...well stuff like that. There are just some jobs that I haven't seen the opposite gender fill.

True, that!

I'm an Electrical Technologist. Out of maybe a hundred students I met in my Electronics courses, there were three girls.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, I don't know, I still see a lot of silly Mary Kate & Ashley games and such, which nobody plays, but they still get produced.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hu Jintao and Abdul Kalam among many others would be insulted by that statement.

They may have been mistreated? MAY HAVE BEEN? Maybe you're right. Maybe getting my leg chopped off for trying to escape a slave camp isn't so bad after all.

I really wish you would've been born into a ghetto, abandoned by your father, lived with gang violence all during your life, and then try to make a living selling drugs since that's the only visible opportunity to be successful in your life.

And then, I want you to say that you haven't been mistreated by society, because your chances of success were EQUAL to a white suburban male growing up.

I call fallacy of appeal to emotion.

If by "snobbish" you mean "call you a fucking retard for being such a bigot," then yes, I'm acting snobbishly towards you.

A little bit more than snobbish, I think.

Oh it just gets uglier after that? You mean, at the point in which the South said fuck you, we're going to keep our slave labor because plantation owners like being rich? Oh yea, that ugly part. The part where they went to war in order to have the right to own people.

You mean the part where the North said the South could no longer use the slaves that THEY SOLD TO THEM? And the part where the South went to war to protect their economy?

And you know, I don't blame anyone who lives in the south now for what's happened in the past. My mom and brothers and stepdad all live there, and it's a great place. It's just fucking bigots like you that bring out the anger so well.

Oh, so he's bigoted and you're not? Seriously. Look at what he said, and look at what you said. Now tell me that he's bigoted and you're not.

How ya doing, buddy?
