I love you guys, really I do.

1."A population of interbreeding species that develops distinct characteristics differing from other populations of the same species, especially as caused by geographical isolation"
2."A group or population of humans categorized on the basis of various sets of heritable characteristics (such as color of skin, eyes, and hair). [/QUOTE]Except those various sets are qualitative and not quantitative. It's not science, it's pseudo-science, concocted to perpetrate bigoted notions of superiority and subjugation. And that's from my fancy graduate level anthropology and sociology classes.
I do stand corrected though. I didn't convey my thoughts succinctly. My apologies. What I was trying to say is that race was ORIGINALLY devised as a new word for SUB-SPECIES in HUMANS specifically. There are no "races" of birds. There are no "races" of dogs. The concept is late 19th to early 20th century and was heavily used by the fascists of the early to mid 20th century. Race is more akin to Breeds. And as many can attest to the new breeds in dogs that have cropped up in the last 20 years, there are an infinite number of possibilities and characteristics to choose from.
But I'll listen, show me show me how SCIENTIFICALLY a child from a 1/2 Korean and 1/2 Irish Father and a 1/2 Brazillian and 1/2 Nigerian Mother is quantitatively classified in this new-fangled racial classification science please.
Until then, Pseudo-science I say! Whipper-snapper! And I'm relying on my not so recent, modern, state university learning to base these here arguments upon.
Totally untrue, what you just said.
[QUOTE=ConcordGuy;1206264]This is totally untrue, race goes back 1000's of years, [. . .][/QUOTE]Linguistically speaking, Race is a modern construct that was devised for a plethora of bigoted reasons. There are no ancient writings that classify people by the color of their skin or the width of their nose. They were classified by their national origins, Spartan, Egyptian, Roman, etc. And slaves could be of any nationality from neighboring countries. They weren't just Africans.

She not only posted the phone number, and I can only guess the extension is the room number, of the hotel she's staying at but she also said,"I smoke pot!" with her 420 reference. Wow! That's a train wreck waiting to happen. If our well meaning uncle is listening, I think we'll be getting much more realistic photos from her booking.
Drug enforcement is open and shut
[QUOTE=ConcordGuy;1207102]I don't see that 420 thing as too big a problem[/QUOTE]Drug enforcement still trumps other vices from my conversations with my closest uncle. She wants you to do your drugs with her, and leave a little bit for her to do by herself later. Plus, I doubt they are going outside to smoke those blunts, so prepare for a nasty, smoky room. It's also my understanding that possession leaves little wiggle room while solicitation still can be a pain to prosecute against a good defense lawyer. YMMV. Just my take on it.
It's really the combination "pot-head" and "escort wannabe" that made me laugh. I purposely didn't post the Name of the Hotel, NCT. But I'd also bet that the extension was also the room number. I mean, how much easier does it get?
Forget about Uncle Leo for a minute. Let's take a pimp for example. He watches the room. Five, Six, Seven, guys come and go. Then he decides to bust in and rob her. Problem is, he missed you walking in. I mean, he knows she's got cash and drugs there and he knows where she is. You don't see that as inviting trouble?
You two need to get a room
