"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

@Dahuman

12 years wtf? Pretty sure that's about the same as rape. Don't think that's fair but whatever.

I honestly don't think there should be "hate crimes" at all, a crime is a crime is a crime as far as I'm concerned doesn't matter if a white guy did it to a black guy or a black guy did it to a white guy (in which case it wouldn't be considered racist btw, but that's for another discussion)

I'd agree with that in most cases. But cases like burning a cross, is that really a crime? It becomes a crime because of how it is done. Same with drawing a Swastika on someones house. Its just a drawing right. Legally your just vandalizing. But it is used to intimidate and harrass and abuse citizens. Making it a hate crime.

As far as Mr.Puggsly your right their are still alot of racist crimes commited in Canada. No countries perfect but our laws do protect those who are attacked. I know where I live Indo-Canadians always attack white guys, in turn white guys attack indo Canadians. Asians in Vancouver get attacked and attack in turn.

But for the most part Canada is a country where people of all races and religions do live peacefully amongst each other. KKK is non-existant here and while their are some neo-Nazi's they are also dissapearing. It's not like the USA or many other countries.


If it's in someone elses yard?   Yes I'm pretty sure burning a cross is a crime.



Also, for what it's worth.

There is a difference between Racism and being Predjudice.

 

Believe it or not... everyone in the world is naturally Predjudiced against people not like them.

However, it's only racist when you act out on these things.

 

In general, you are going to assosiate things like you as "good" and things not like you as "bad" because our brains don't have enough time and energy to process every single thing in our enviroments at full power with full thought.  So at the very base earliest impressions "Unlike you = bad"  "Like you = Good."  Some people call this tribalism.

Hence the importance of getting to know people of different races even if you don't want to activly be racist or predjudice.  That way when you meet people of another race, your positive thoughts about a friend or collegage you know of that race will supercede any original negative connotations.

Additionally there are social consturcts that must be avoided... for example say you live in a predominatly white culture... if you are given 2 faces, one of white and one of say an Middleastern man...

Then you are told to quickly assign words to the people with the words being stuff like

Good

Bad

Honest

Thieving

Untrustworthy

Awesome

 

You are overwhelmingly more likely to assign such traits to the white person.  Even if your arab.  So in a way socialization overrites some innate tribalism.

 

Predjudices may never be erased, even when in the future we are just one mulitcultural race... there will be other dividers chosen for a brain to work less.

What CAN be stopped though is racist actions.



i think its fare. any form of hate should never betolerated in any counrty.

the harsher the penalty, the less likley w'll see racist activitly.

lol. they'll get out is 5 yrs lol!



 Is there really any  difference between "hate-hunting" and "witch-hunting"?  Once a person is marked a witch ... I meant,  with a hate-crime or racist  do they have any kind of defense? I have a bad feeling that once someone is "marked" they are guilty until proven innocent.
