World's most harmfully divisive demographic?

Which demographic is the most harmfully divisive?

That's the first time I've ever heard tolerance level described as a demographic.

Then why bother with your question? You're fishing for a specific response by gaming both the question and the answers.

Each of your choices is divisive. None are inherently harmfully divisive.

Guess that means you don't really have a question, huh?
 
I read somewhere that there are like...150-something conflicts all over the globe right now. That sounds way high but remember that many are low-level affairs that don't make the news. Anyway, they said that 3/4 or more of those were fought on the basis of ethnicity, so I'll say race is the most divisive.
 
And another thing I was wondering, since it was Sunday and all.....( hahahaha) is how does:

"The love of money IS the ROOT of all evil...." fit in to all of this? :D

doesn't fit? not sure myself....lol



Care

I believe that would fall under class.
but Im' not sure---well sorta of maybe--oh never mind.

race or religion.....
 
class is the big wedge issue, but people don't realize it because the rich control the media and they use race and religion to divide us. I have more in common with middle class jews,blacks,gays,women,foreigners than I do with rich americans. they are selling out all of us. i'm greek orthodox. is that american enough? the rich use race and religion because its easy. don't fall 4 it

ps. detroit news said obama will raise taxes on seniors 2 percent if they make 50k plus. I call BS. they are like fox news. rupert murdox propoganda type paper. is it true?
 
I don't think we can separate nationalism from those other conflict creators.

"Nationalism is the central issue of the modern world. Since the demise of the Soviet Union there has been a proliferation of nationalist and ethnic conflicts. The consequent explosion of interest in ethnicity and nationalism has created an urgent need for systematic study in this field. Nations and Nationalism aims to satisfy this need."

Nations & Nationalism

You are truly bereft of imagination. And that is sad.

BINGO!

Give that man a cigar.

Divide and dominate.

Keep creating scary strawman out of hippies, gun owners, welfare mothers, Blacks, people who live in trailers, Southerners, Yankees, dope smokers, Christians, Jews, Arabs, who and whatever stereotype you can think of.

Make people afraid of anyone who is not just like them.

And while they're squabbling about things that aren't really all that important: gun control, gays in the miliatry, welfare, you know...all the stuff that gets people really excited, the sheeple will be so busy hating one another, they won't notice that the master-class are systematically making themselves rich at the expense of the society as a whole.

There are really only two classes in this society.

The class of the masters, and their loyal (but expendable) sevants, and everyone else.

I don't give a fig if you're a PhD making a quarter million dollars a year, your interests and those of a welfare mother are more aligned than those of you and the masters of our universe who really pull the stings.

Of course, convincing most people of that is virtually impossible.

The people who pull the strings are damned near invisible to most of us, and they've created a whole mythology to explain that they don't exist and that we live in a society which is free of such domination by a single class, too.

Suggest otherwise (as I am right now) and you are of course a conspiriacy theorist (even though no conspiracy is necessary to make this happen)

They control the media, they're god damned smart, and of course, human nature being what it is xenophobia is an easy rib for them to tickle whenever they need to.

awww....if you were intellectually honest you'd admit there was some truth in my statement.

How can I know if there is truth in your claim that you confuse me with William Joyce? I'm not a mind reader. I just have to take your word for it. :eusa_whistle:

Why do these middle class ppl argue what we tell them? I tell them how they raised prices and they choose to believe the gop's line about supply and demand. they cover their ears when you tell them about val plames. they don't want taxes but let the gop spend trillions. as if they benefitted! help me figure why. I have a theory. greedy,racist or dumb or all three. greed if they are rich,dumb if they vote against their own best interests or racist if they care if he is "muslim". many of my friends get over it once they realize mcbush sees them as ants.

Hardly. I just don't see where it is applicable here. I see a poorly worded question with even poorer answers that don't even begin to answer the question, and do not meet the criteria of "harmful" in and of themselves.

What you are actually stating is that I am not assuming. Seems the wiser course of action with certain people.

Why should we middle class people take the word of a wannabe elitist?

Do you have a coherent post on this board? I haven't seen one. You're all over the place railing, making absolute statements based on political bias and ignorance.

And don't try and blame your phone. The content of your posts speaks for itself.
