You're on everybody's ignore list anyway. Argue away dipshizzle.

Probably one of those "corksuckers".

I was wondering how long it would take your "Johnny Dangerously" radar to key in on this thread. :lol:

The guy wasn't joking when he said, "white hole." This is absolutely ridiculous. "Jewing something down" is apparently no more offensive than "black hole." Then, of course, after going on about how careful we should be with what we say he declares that a white hole is something devoid of life.

He's short, but come on, he's not a dwarf =)

Why is the "new" star white but the dead one is "black"? Racist

The real problem here is that the science of astronomy is inherently racist b/c of its continuous use of color descriptors.

Of course they are, because you called them Indians.

That song "Black hole sun (son?)" has taken on a much more nefarious meaning for me now. I never realized Soundgarden were such racists.
