Same difference... In order to say that ANYTHING is "evil" or "sinful" or even
"wrong," there has to be some basis for the statement... If something is said to
be "wrong," I want to know what the declaration is based on... ie Do you mean its
"against the law," or "unconstitutional," or "against our rules," or "not
according to Hoyle," or "because my grandmother said so." Just because I
don't approve of something, that doesn't make it wrong...

Yep... quite easy to determine "about how much" inter-racial fornication is going
on... but no evidence as to what was given in exchange ... love, trust, money,
companionship, lack of fear..

You don't learn a thing from that... It would be like saying, "I know what goes on
in the offices of Barnes and Noble, because I have seen movies of Nazi
concentration camps." You'd have to know something of the restrictions observed
by the influence of the society, the church, the family, the community... There
are lots of "influences" that have an impact on how people behave. As a
management consultant I have clients who are jerks, and I wouldn't advise anyone
to work for them... others are saps, and let their employees take undue advantage
of them... Your example is too broad to be useful...

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substancenot soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
