Football is in a couple of weeks, can't wait, but to fill that gap in conversation here on the board.. I want to see how diverse this site is... Not just based on race or *** but in all the things we do. I just read that someone on here use to work with Orangutans... not sure if he/she was joking... but I thought that was very interesting... I'm curious to know how many females post here and how many are not from SFL... and what profession. I notice we have lawyers, educators etc... I'm sure some will have the attitude it none of your business and I can respect that but I'm just curious on how diverse this board is...

I'll start:

UknowWhat -> Black, Male, Computer Programmer, Retired Army, from Daytona Beach, Like Jaguars, Dolphins and the Bucs

Yes.. it can... that's because people use diversity or differences to discriminate against those that are not like them... If we learn to embrace our differences instead of rebelling against those differences, the world we be a better place... I don't think everyone will buy in, so discrimination will continue until the end of time, but that's my opinion... For me I try and embrace differences... like I don't hold it against people that are Seminole fans... I realize and embrace the fact that we have differences... to each his own.. Then a pray for their dumb ***...lol kidding.. but we are all different... even from our own gender, race and religious group... not two of us are the same... so again you are correct : diversity can kill our unity unless, what we truly love over power our humanly desires to hate those things that are different.
