Dear white people
Re: Dear white people
Yes cross-breeding is the answer, why is that horrible? Unrealistic, but other than that it's a great idea.

Re: Dear white people
One more add on to that. I get it I really do, I can only imagine day to day life in Europe. I live in what is defined as the deep south here in the United States. People wave as you drive by, you check up on your neighbors. Family and community is a very big deal no matter the race. But I know it is not like that everywhere, people when I travel would rather shoot you than say hi or be polite. So what is it like where you live?
Re: Dear white people
If your community is a million people it makes sense not to stay in touch with all of them. And yes, groups form, but based on religion and social status more than race in my experience. Muslims especially tend to be socially isolated here.

Re: Dear white people
Cross breeding would require a government enforced eugenics program. Does that not set off alarm bells? And yes as communities grow larger the more disconnected the community is, idk I could not go back to urban living, some love it and some have no choice but it is not my cup of tea.

Re: Dear white people
pretty much like the roman empire. You're pretending as if people have always cared about these things in the way we do now, which isn't true. Not saying all was better in the past, but ignoring the fact that things were different just to justify your opinion that things shouldn't or can't change is simply dishonest.

Right it would be unrealistic because people tend to date within their race. Obviously you can't force it.DjinnOfSorrow wrote:Cross breeding would require a government enforced eugenics program.

I personally prefer city life because I don't need to keep in touch with a lot of people. I much prefer having a few close friends to having many acquaintances. I'm very selective when it comes to social contacts, so being forced into having a meaningful relationship with neighbors who I probably have nothing in common with wouldn't be good for me.

Re: Dear white people
Its not forced but more of they become like family but no, they don't put a gun to your head and drag you to social functions. I have several associates but a very small group friends, I like it that way. Plus with my job knowing all 4,000 residence in town makes it so much easier.

Not literally but it's hard to say no to a "come for dinner!".they don't put a gun to your head and drag you to social functions

Re: Dear white people
In the Us it is a numbers thing, the old generations understood this. If blacks and whites cross there are far more whites so if the cycle continues you will no longer have blacks after I think its 5 or 6 generations. Happens all the time in Louisiana

Re: Dear white people
It's impractical one reads every book ever to discern contents from cover so the adage is shit.
Re: Dear white people
Goodspeed is saying that we should organize society along the lines of the lobsters.
Pay more attention to detail.

But one could read the OP, or some online reviews. There's a middle ground here.deleted_user wrote:It's impractical one reads every book ever to discern contents from cover so the adage is shit.

So what you're saying is that Goodspeed hacks into AOE3 to attack people with giant digital lobsters?
PS. Thanks for getting my reference.
