Pride is labeled one of the "seven deadly sins".

I'm pretty sure that's considered a smartass reply.


Only to someone blinded by to much pride. Just my opinion.

It's a play on the stigma placed on white pride vs. black pride, gay pride, brown pride. If you even mention white pride you are automatically a racist(and rightly so because of neo nazi, kkk, and other groups of morons) More of a joke then anything else. Sorry, sometimes my sense of humor doesn't transfer well onto the internet.

lol im not sure what you mean...

if i see a black guy saying "Black Power!!" and a white guy saying "White Power!!!" i would look at both of them in the same manner.

I just hope people with these thoughts don't infect future generation, little kids don't see much colour difference nowadays, its their parents who see it.

A paragraph is a separation of text by a blank line, separating thoughts. Single sentences can be paragraphs too. I see two paragraphs


You know what ? You're correct. I actually went to my websters and looked it up. I was always under the impression that a paragraph with pride consisted of at least two or more sentences. But it is true what you say.

Paragraph only has to do with positioning and separation for a new line of thought in the commentary.

I conceed.

Oh. Sorry, I get it now. But still, I think what i'm trying to establish is that any kind of pride that excludes one or a group from another or another group is bad pride. For pride to be okay, it can't put you in a superior position.

I think the confusion comes in school when our english teacher tell us that our paragraphs must be 5 sentences long, and also you can't start a sentence with And or But, another common false teaching.

You mean....... I'm a victim ? On two counts even ? I have always struggled with that and but crap and it's a false teaching ?

That's beyond cruel. Damn it ! I'm taking your word on that one and tomorrow I'm going back to school and reem every teach I ever had. You got me all bent now.

Fat chance that any of them are even alive anymore ! I graduated in 77 with all the pride and confidence in public school myths. What else do I need to forget ? God this is horrible I can't even get revenge !
