    My grandfather was uneducated and a racist. He believed that nature itself supported his racial convictions. He was convinced that races shouldn’t mix and his proof was (in his very own words), “You don’t see dogs mating with cats!” I could have told him that white dogs do mate with black dogs but I was only 11 years old at the time and he would have beat me, as he often did.

    But despite his primitive, semi-literate attitude & genetic make-up I became a university graduate
    . Go figure! :eekeyes:

    It does. The more civilized a society is the less likely you are to die in it. No one would view 8th century Europe and say it was just as good medically as it is today.

    Just as humans can be manipulated. Do you think the Chinese basketball player Yao Ming didn't have two extremely tall parents? They were forced into breeding a tall child and it worked. Just as if you were breed to humans with a genetic flaw you're more likely to have your offspring inherit that same flaw. The same applies to intelligence.

    In regards to the all colors of breeds in a dog they're a mixed fur bunch but, we as humans separate ourselves on skin color, bone structure, height, etc. It's why certain socieities are visibly easy to identify as to why they will or won't succeed based upon genetic features on display.

    Feather color != Human skin color

    Which is true. If an African and a European were to have a child they wouldn't be compatible donors for that child. The breed would be so mixed that it wouldn't be possible to do a bone marrow transplant. While two unmixed parents of same race could do a bone marrow transplant. Even mixing impacts genetics on such a level that you can't even perform life saving procedures.

    That quote is MISATTRIBUTED to Franklin.

    However it is MISLEADING because it IMPLIES that ORDINARY people will be the ones voting for and taking the money.

    REALITY demonstrates that it is the WEALTHY ELITE who "vote themselves money" by BUYING the elections of those who control the purse strings.

    The use of this quote is DISINGENUOUS because it FAILS to identify the REAL CRIMINALS who are STEALING money from the government of We the People.

    The WEALTHY take UNEARNED income from the government so you are saying we should DEPRIVE them of their voting rights.

    Well, that cancels out a good chunk of the republican voting base that live in red states.

    90% of MAGA wouldn't be able to vote.

    The facts confirm hereditarianism and race realism. No where is there scientific evidence in favor of intrinsic racial equality.

    Because Negroes tend to perform less well on IQ tests than whites does not mean that the tests are biased against Negroes. It means that the tests are biased against stupid people.

    Negroes tend to perform poorly on all the mental aptitude tests however they are designed. Negroes also tend to perform poorly in the class room and on jobs requiring superior intelligence. The Negro tendency to perform poorly in the class room and on jobs requiring superior intelligence confirms the validity of the mental aptitude tests.

    The tendency of Negroes to perform poorly intellectually provides strong evidence that the problem is of genetic origins, and that there is no reason to lower objective criteria on excellence for Negroes. It also provides strong evidence that the Negro race does not deserve reparations.

    There are brilliant Negroes. Unfortunately, there are few of them.

    The "wealthy" are the beneficiaries of a grossly and completely UNFAIR U. S. Tax Code -- no doubt about that! And as a result, by no stretch of the imagination do the rich pay what they are supposed to pay, because of all the tax loopholes, tax shelters, exclusions, exemptions, deductions, and "carried-interest" provisions that their tax lawyers and tax accountants find for them!

    But, that's not what I'm talking about at all, as you surely knew in the first place. No, I'm talking about a large and growing percentage of the American population that DEPENDS on getting more and more 'free-stuff' from the government... handouts of every kind imaginable, and that list is LONG. Some of them deserve it, but a huge proportion do NOT, and yet they continue to enjoy the right to vote, just like all the rest of us who DO 'pay a fair share', without any of the benefits of a corrupted tax system, like the rich have.

    If I told you 'you might want to reexamine your morality' blah blah blah, that, at the minimum, is arrogance, and it's also an insult.

    Whether or not the rest of his argument is good or bad, had nothing to do with that particular line, it was unnecessary.

    Im sure what you write sounds good to you on paper doesn't it. Sorta like communism or other failed methodologies, so im curious. How do you apply your philosophy?

    All your map does is show we beat Russia...so thats a plus. Reading your theories reminds me of a similar famous former German leader who thought the same way.

    Lil Mike, with due respect, your line 'you might want to reexamine your morality......blah blah blah' was unnecessary

    That went over my head. I do not regard Greta Thunberg as being intelligent at all (despite the media hype) but I see Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking as being genuinely super intelligent, with or without media PR.

    Lots of things COULD be called arrogance if one chooses, including a great many of your posts. He basically told you to reconsider your position if you are going to play the morality card because your position is contradictory. It was not a bombastic statement.
