I banned user "choose it for me" due to an exhibition of racist beliefs.

There is no room in this forum for racism! Regardless of how quiet you may be about it, despite how you feel you have been wronged in your life racism will not be tolerated.

My personal distaste for racism is very different than the politically correct (PC) version of anti-racism. The PC version of racism contends that all people have equal worth and should be respected solely for the fact that they exist.

My distaste for racism is based on the fact that any man good enough to die beside me is good enough to stand beside me.

I have a very specific disdain for anyone that tries to milk the system and does not put forth their share of the effort. In my world you ruck up, move forward and execute the mission as expected, you fulfill the commander’s intent, you take care of the people you are responsible for and you provide your subordinates with an example that they would be proud to emulate.

In short...Mankind’s shortcomings cannot be blamed on any particular race and scapegoating people because you failed to act upon your potential is pathetic.

it's ok for you to admit not knowing what it means. I'm impressed Tater Nuts found a dictionary and could use it effectively. for all the other clods (myself included):

From Webster's:
macroevolution
One entry found for macroevolution.


Main Entry: mac·ro·evo·lu·tion
Pronunciation: 'ma-krO-"e-v&-'lü-sh&n also -"E-v&-
Function: noun
: evolution that results in relatively large and complex changes (as in species formation)
- mac·ro·evo·lu·tion·ary /-sh&-"ner-E/ adjective
and SB, you are absolutely correct.
