    We all get to an end. However not all human races get to the end that Getty must have in mind. So I am curious to know which races get to the end goal Getty has set.

    Hi Bjauck.
    Perhaps some misunderstanding of that post.

    I meant going the distance in debate, not any race having a finite end ,I didnt even use the word end, and no inference of "final solutions" or the like.

    I've since amended the post to include the word discussion.

    Obviously, All races have a right to debate.

    Thanks for the refinement. If they can't go the distance, presumably you have set them a specific length of time (and forcefulness of the expression of their argument?) over they need to maintain the discussion to meet your standard? I am still curious which races have met your standard?

    Perhaps you may have meant culture or nationality rather than race? Argument and publicly expressing disagreement (especially with strangers) may have cultural taboos, especially with respect to women.

    After 45 years of rubbing shoulders with nearly every race on Earth, I've found few have the stamina to go the distance in such discussion.

    No limit or standard inferred by me.

    I agree with your taboo statement, which reinforces my point.

    Enough of skirting around on the periphery, do you wish to address my question; what is it that European have that Maori cannot have?

    Some observers may wish to contribute what Maori have, that European can not have.

    I was just trying to clarify and understand your statement with respect to races and their ability to engage in discussion. I understand now that "stamina to go the distance" has no quantifiable meaning, and so is meaningless.

    I do not wish to engage with you on your subsequent question.

    Bjauck, you have just put some meaning into not going the distance

    LOL. I have to go by your agenda? It seems you do have criteria for your “stamina to go the distance test”. It is just arbitrarily imposed depending on your whim.

    Obviously not.

    The woke leftist indoctrinated Cindy devotees love to set the agenda to suit themselves - with cries of racism, sexism and elitism to cancel & shut down any hard & searching discussions & questions on just how incompetent & racist this Labour government is.
