i think that the locking of jeffs poll, is belligerant, closeminded, rude, and unscientific.nobody should take offense as there isn't a master race, its merely a matter of opinion as to which race you like the most, its no more racist than saying canada is the coolest country, or i think china is the best, etc, its not rascist, its nationalism except more fundamental.

But by implying that you like a race better than the other is offensive to other people. Since there isn't a master race as you said, there is no reason to have the poll.
Also the master race topic is more offensive than the "better country" topic that you compared it to, because it is a fact that some countries are more advanced than others. With with race, there is no such distinction.

Ah but jeff! Perhaps there were motives beyond the surface!
Is it not true that no one voted in that poll, thus proving that no one on this forum believes in a master race? This being the case, shouldn't the poll make you overjoyed about the lack of racism on the forum?
Or perhaps, if someone did vote, what would happen? Would you seriously believe that they believe in a Master race? Welcome to 21st century California! Who on the forum would you take seriously if they had voted in that poll! And thus, since you can't take anyone who would have voted in it seriously, then you just can't take the poll seriously anyway!
...in any case, the meaning of the poll is reduced to zilch.

Nevetheless, it's not what YOU think, Jeff - if the majority wants it removed, it WILL be removed!

But it doesn't matter if the master race that is chosen actually becomes true to be offensive. If that were true, then there would be no such thing as a racism. I mean a few racists comments by a small group of insignificant people don't cause what is said to come true, but yet people still get offended at it. Although, I do see the purpose of this thread, it might cause a lot more chaos than good.

This has nothing to do with truth, but with perception. Nevertheless, Jeff, you see that no one had voted in it. No one chose. And if someone had chosen, then by having good knowledge of the people on the forum, and knowing that we live in 21st century liberal Silicon Valley, you can only assume that the person who voted was voting for the hell of it, and is a jokster, like henry. Thus, but knowing the people on the forum, you realize that no vote in the poll could be taken seriously, and thus the poll has just reduced itself to invalidity and zilch. Thus, the poll should not offend anyone.

I guess. Our forum is very tolerant.
