[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] Omega: Are you really that oblivious to the racism and bigotry in this country? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're probably a white male from a bourgeois family and taught fundamentalist Christianity from age zero. You've never been part of anything but the majority. Your idea of admitting students based only on merit is all fine and dandy, but the reality is that if (assuming there were) white supremacists in a university didn't have to admit black students, they wouldn't no matter how well the students do. If a white business isn't forced to hire minorities, it won't. On your point that if a black happened to be fired on poor performance, this would be an observable event with evidence and witnesses, in which case it wouldn't even go into the subject of racism (unless a white person did the samething and didn't get fired). On health care: Omega said that hospitals care for you whether you have money or not. I'm just gonna say that it's not always the case. I can't really cite any specific instances off the top of my head, but it would be ignorant to assume that all hospitals operate on ethics and not on money. But it's not just that. Even if they don't charge you right away, you're gonna get billed eventually if you don't have some sort of health care to pay for the treatments. Poor families can't pay for treatment of cancer, AIDS, or any long-term illnesses, and most likely the hospitals would kick these patients out. What parents in their right mind would not want healthcare for their children? The problem is that a number of them can't pay for it. On businesses: If the government didn't regulate businesses, we'd have monopolies running around, uninspected food or drugs, poisoned rivers and ocean, expanding deserts, etc. It'd probably look like Ferenginar, essentially. Heck, if you don't like communism or Evolution, why are you still watching Star Trek? [/QB][/QUOTE]
