That's why the Netgods invented smileys, ever hear of them? Good idea
to use one, especially in the political groups. I'm a pretty
sarcastic guy myself and I admit that I found the above statement
to be a petty and mean-spirited generalization, not sarcasm.

This sounds fairly arrogant considering that 
I noticed you deleted the portion where your claim that the majority
of abortion recipients are non-white was refuted with some actual
facts and figures. Where are yours? As for "speaking the truth"
all i've seen from you are unsupported statements and personal 
opinions. I wouldn't go so far as to call your statements racist,
however, just not very well thought out.

Surely you're aware that many adoption agencies in the US will no
longer allow white couples to adopt minority babies unless no
other option is available. I admit that most people are probably
looking to adopt a healthy baby who looks something like them but
so what? It's just as hard to place a handicapped white child as
a minority one.

BTW, i'm pro-choice...
