Good thing we didn't let the 'terrorists' gain control of the oil fields, eh? ;)

Sen. Barack Obama is not a Muslim.

Not that it should matter if he were.

He's a member of the United Church of Christ in Chicago.. and like you I wonder why it should matter in a country that is founded on multiculturalism.

Could the mods pleeeeeeeze reinstate my post??
After all, this is my thread......
If you insist on a change of verbage regarding Mr. Obama's heritage, so be it, but the thread is useless without my original starting post.............

Best Regards...
Mark.

It absolutely amazes me that people still think that since race, religion, or sexual orientation doesn't matter to them, that it shouldn't matter to anyone else either.

Hate to break it to you folks, but there IS a reason why there's never been a non-christian (at least in recent years), a female, a racial minority, or an openly homosexual person in the White House.

Sorry......
But if my original post was reinstated, you would see that the topic here was mostly about oil and energy.......the race card was played by the mods, not me........I tried to minimize it, but the fact that I brought it up at all bothered somebody......

MODS.....could you pullleeeeeeez get this thread back on track and reinstate my original post.....it was NOT really offensive......

Yes..it's called bigotry...and it certainly isn't something to be proud of.

Americans have ALWAYS cast their vote for straight white christian males...being a conservative, I AM opposed to change, meaning both democrat candidates were out of the question regardless of who won the nomination.

Feel free to ridicule "my heritage" (isn't that what the brothers call it) as you wish because it's your own ignorance blinding you to the similarity of our actions....except as I indicated above, I'm part of the majority.

Gee......might this have something to do with the fact that this country was founded by straight white Christian males???

But.....we digress..........

I would really like this thread to get back to my original post about energy...........my energy theory for this country.....if the mods would kindly relight that post.....

If the mods will repost my initial post on energy policies, you might see......they must all be asleep now.....or ignoring me.....

BOINC and the projects are intended for everyone in the world who has a computer and can connect to the internet. Because of the target membership, project forum posters are expected to welcome members of every racial group, every sexual orientation and all cultural, national and religious backgrounds. When we join SETI or any other BOINC project we join the whole world. We therefore need to be scrupulously polite, not only when talking to people who belong to other groups, but also when talking about these other groups. This applies even when people from other groups may not apparently be present, because discussions here are in the public arena, readable by all.

We are of course at complete liberty to disagree with any ideas expressed by others as long as we are polite and respectful to and about everyone regardless of their background. We are all equal here, as I hope one day we all can be everywhere, and expect to be treated as such.

Mark, if you would like to restate your arguments I am sure we will all be interested to read your ideas about why oil and politics are interconnected.

I doubt that they will. I suggest that you rename this thread as a discussion about race or Obama or Bigotry or whatever and start your oil one afresh.
