OK - I finally noticed that MacDonald is on the editorial board. I don't know anything about OC beyond having read that book by MacDonald . Even regarding OC, you are posting hostile characterizations of their positions. This is getting too far removed from MacDonald , I think.
Again, why don't you just post something written by Kevin MacDonald that you find objectionable? Maybe on reflection I'll agree. I try not to cling to untenable positions - I'll admit when I'm wrong. Maybe we just disagree, but can do so in a friendly way. But then again, maybe I really am a depraved moral monster, and this is your chance to expose me! I think there are no easy, pat solutions here. One easy out is to simply deny that ethnic groups even exist. Or you could deny the existence of ethnic competition and conflict. Or you could think that maybe it's better just to ignore these things and hope they go away. Sure, there are problems with MacDonald's positions - if I could get a dialog going at all here, maybe we could get into that. Maybe there are even a few problems with your own position that it would be good for you to consider. The one thing I really put my faith in is getting the light of day on problems, and open and honest discussion. Tim Howells > > > Sean McBride wrote: > > From Wikipedia.
