Expressões, preconceito e racismo

Por
Expressões preconceituosas e racistas Antes de alguma outra frase, primeiro peço licença para falar de mais um assunto do qual não domino. Falo por acreditar que um leigo presta serviço maior ao debater assunto com base em fontes (ainda que seja uma Wikipedia) e no pensamento lógico do que simplesmente se manter mudo a questões do cotidiano. Em voga agora está em falar quais são ou eram as expressões preconceituosas e racistas que até a pouco eram toleradas em muitos meios. Como é covarde dizer que em boca fechada não entra racismo. O racismo não é perpetrado apenas por quem profere mas por quem se cala à agressão perpetrada a outrem. Mas veremos que a questão é muito mais complexa que os cães raivosos do politicamente correto querem dizer. Tomo aqui a palavra racista, como sendo algo usado para impor a dominação de uma “raça” sobre outra. Portanto, a acusação de racismo vai muito além da mera acusação de preconceito.

Answering: top reasons I hate living in Brazil

Por
Yes, some guys shared a teasing topic about “Top reasons why I hate living in Brazil”: http://www.gringoes.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17615&PN=1&title=top-reasons-i-hate-living-in-brazil What is the point here?

A hard logic problem - The escape of blue eyed vampires

Por
Once upon a time, a vampire clan lived peacefully on an island (as long as vampire clans can live peacefully). Then, a demon lord came, overwhelmed the vampires and became the ruler of the island. The demon didn't want any vampire to escape so he created a gargoyle to guard the only way out. This gargoyle was a fantastic creature, so powerful that he was kept petrified for the whole time until a vampire appears. Then he awakened and started to fight until seeing no more vampire "alive" (as far a vampire can be alive). All vampires crazy enough to try were killed only left a hundred of vampires. There was a catch, of course. The gargoyle was not perfectly designed. It did not awaken when blue eyes vampires appeared. And all remaining vampire were blue eyes but as you know vampires cannot see him/her selves on reflections. For any reason, they were not aware of their eye colors. Besides all that, blue eyed vampires didn't like each other (so they would never say ...
