What's that supposed to mean lowing? I've made my views on racism and political correctness quite clear on this forum many times.lowing wrote:

On Racism: I take each person as I meet them and although stereotypes sometimes have grains of truth in them they are still not yardsticks by which to measure or judge someone.
On Political Correctness: I have no time for political correctness. I believe pretty much anything is fair game for a laugh and a joke, it's context that is important. I can make a joke about black people playing dominoes (inspired purely by what I've seen in American movies and not real life experience I might add) and rest easy in the fact that I don't put any real credence in such a stereotype. Race might be a touchy subject in your country but I don't see why people of different races can't have a laugh and a joke every now and again so long as there is no pretence of superiority from any one racial camp... I guess I'd be more Dave Chappelle to your Michael Richards!

It was cold because there was no direct conflict between the superpowers.
