    What processes has depleted uranium used in tank armor and armor penetrating high velocity shells (tank guns) been put through?

    I know it is no longer very radioactive though still as with most heavy metals, toxic.

    So, what did you say, exactly?

    And if the system is designed to prevent 99% of the people from obtaining success, what then?
    And? Let me pose a thought experiment for you. Suppose, for example, I think that Hillary Clinton is a lizard alien, who not only rapes infants, but performs human sacrifices. Does that make it true?

    And what do you base this on? I was 4 years old in 1972, and when my brother told me that Apollo 17 was going to be the last mission to the Moon, I thought that the idea was insanely stupid. To me, it seemed that humanity's destiny lay with exploring space. Are you saying that I was somehow smarter than kids' today?

    I agree with Tuckerfan.
    I was made very aware of race at home, before I could even spell my own name. Namely, that every behavior of mine was,a direct reflection of the whole black race. :brood:

    But even if I did not have that fodder for therapy, I would've come across the issue of being an oreo eventually.

    I completely agree. It is perfect and ready to go but was blocked for political reasons.

    Yep. I'm super liberal, but I'm perfectly fine with nuclear power in my backyard. It's safe, clean energy. Yes, it does have drawbacks, but unless we find out how to create fusion energy cheaply and reliably, it's our best option for mass consumption.

    you are a racist, just to dim and otherwise oblivious to comprehend it.

    that obliviousness is why nobody cares what you think.

    when you minimize the extermination of a culture as "shooting up a few villages", you're a racist.

    if the hood fits, wear it.

    Why do you think American Indian culture was exterminated?

    They're opening new casinos all the time.:lmao:

    Sure.

    Ever notice how on cop shows the innocent say "I didn't do X" while the guilty say "You ain't got no proof I did X"?

    That's incidental. We don't need cop shows to tell us who's a racist. It's you.

    If you really think cop shows are accurate representations of cops or prosecutors then you need to grow up

    Fast.

    He's not claiming that the shows are accurate presentations. He's using the example of how the guilty, and known to be guilty claim they're innocent when there's overwhelming evidence that they are. The same with your claims of not being a racist. You've made racist, bigoted statements for nearly two decades on here, when there's plenty of us who have read them and know your claims are idiotic and repetitive in their denial.

    Only if you're buying El Chup's interpretation of what constitutes "racism".

    Which no sane person would.

    Ok fuckbrain. I can recall one of you statements from quite a while back. It was one of the earliest things you posted that made me aware of how much of an idiot, racist, stupid person you are. You made mention of having to find a new place to live. You wrote that you looked at place, and that it had a high Hispanic population. you then said you didn't want to live among such "unpleasantries". How is that not racist?

    And I'm sure you don't accept the general definition of racism, which is that of discrimination or prejudice against others of a different race, background, ethnicity due to the belief that one's own is superior. You've made plenty of statements that you believe yourself to be superior because of where you are from or where you live.

    Maybe spicy food plays hell with his delicate white boy digestive system.

    There might be "unpleasantries" for anyone within smelling distance. :elflat:

    You don't think its unpleasant to live among people who you don't at least share a language with?

    How is that racist? It would be the same regardless of the race.

    I don't really like Mexican food though technically almost everything we call "Mexican food" is actually "Tex Mex".

    What is wrong with liking hamburgers, chicken strips, mashed potatoes, sausage, bacon & eggs, or the occasional meat lovers pizza?

    Your own denial and ignorance is astounding, even after all these years. I have lived among and worked among people who the majority didn't speak English or Spanish. And the thing you couldn't even begin to comprehend is that it can be a great learning experience as well as a great overall experience as well.

    That's you. More power to you. But just because you enjoyed the experience does not mean I would or that it is one I should seek out.

    Nor does it make my preference for living among people broadly similar to me as possible make me a racist. It simply means I prefer the familiar.

    That is hardly a radical position and you know it.

    That was just one the statements, out of an astounding number of statements that you have made with racist overtures. There are plenty of posters on here who have called you out as being racist, yet you continue denying what many have read from you.

    Some of you need to just stop it. No, having a desire to live around people whom you can communicate with via the same language is not, in itself, racist. It would be nice to meet people halfway but racism involves race and any race can learn to speak a language.

    So just stop already. I say this as a person who lives on the border and who speaks two languages (though my Spanish is rather basic even after two years of classes and having spent a fair amount of time in Spanish speaking countries).

    Speaking as someone who is surrounded by Latinos, it's a shit ton better than some of the all white neighborhoods I've lived in. They don't bother me, I don't bother them. They have some of the nicest looking yards in the neighborhood, and they're always happy and smiling.
