    MATH is SCARY! LOL!

    https://www.pewresearch.org/short-r... 12.5% of,October 2021 through September 2022.
    Unless you QUALIFY for an exemption ALL SNAP recipients MUST be EMPLOYED.

    https://www.cbpp.org/research/food-...nthly income — that is,2024 is $2,072 a month.

    So given the above ONLY those who "physically or mentally unfit for work, pregnant people, and others" would LOSE their VOTING RIGHTS because they CANNOT work according to what YOU want.

    Now let's look at WELFARE!

    https://moneyzine.com/personal-finance-resources/how-many-people-are-on-welfare/

    Per the MATH retirees, their dependents, the disabled and their dependents and the survivors of deceased workers come to 65.7 million people on WELFARE.

    Wanna GUESS what will happen when you TRY to take away the VOTES of those on Social Security which just happens to be the LARGEST voting bloc in America? The GOP will LOSE bigly for starters.

    In order to be ELIGIBLE for those Welfare Benefits you HAVE to have WORKED for a MINIMUM of TEN YEARS.

    It appears that you rage and anger at those on SNAP and WELFARE is MISPLACED because ALL of them are either WORKING or have WORKED.

    I can UNDERSTAND why you didn't do YOUR own RESEARCH because if you had you would have REALIZED that you have been DUPED about welfare and those who aew recipients of it.

    FACTS matter!

    I wouldn't consider the testing methods for Ashkenazi as the samples came directly from private schools exclusively. Not from the general population. Though from the scores recorded their verbal IQ was the only one to be a outlier above the average while the rest were below average.

    No, you don't have to have worked for a minimum of ten years to get on welfare handout programs in this country. Where did you pick that bit of nonsense up? Gee... is it possible that YOU have been "duped"?

    It is true that you have to have worked for ten years (40 quarters) in order to qualify for Medicare. Is that what you were thinking about? You were quite ready to 'school' me and suggest I do some research, but based on some of your own faulty findings, I'd suggest you start over. Here's a good place to begin: https://www.usa.gov/benefits

    When you get to a part where you see that it is necessary for a person to work for 10 years before he/she/it can qualify for welfare handouts in this country, please bookmark it and post the link! Or at least have the decency to admit that you were wrong....

    RACE, INTELLIGENCE, AND THE BRAIN: THE ERRORS AND OMISSIONS OF THE ‘REVISED’ EDITION OF S. J. GOULD’S THE MISMEASURE OF MAN (1996) J. Philippe Rushton Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario. London, Ontario N6A 5C2, Canada

    Gould withholds from his readers that The Bell Curve is mainly an empirical work about the causes of social stratification and that it reached its conclusions only after fully analyzing a 12-year longitudinal study of 12,486 youths (3022 of whom were African-American), which showed that most 17-year-olds with high IQs (Blacks as well as Whites) went on to occupational success by their late 20s and early 30s whereas many of those with low IQs (both Black and White) went on to welfare dependency. The average IQ for African-Americans was found to be lower than those for Latino-, White-, Asian-, and Jewish-Americans (85, 89, 103, 106, and 115, respectively, pp. 273-278). Failure to mention these data fosters the false belief that IQ tests are not predictive and are biased in favor of North Europeans.

    The source which is from The Bell Curve cites Storfer. The children used in this study were from special communes exclusively and not from the general population. It would similar to walking into a franchise of private schools of well established elites and comparing them against the entire population of public schools across the USA. Also the children tested were of the ages 4-5 and with it being specialized educational commune they were definitely going to be taught lessons that children of a similar age would not be taught. Also even within that study it just throws a random number for the Sephardic Jews even though their average IQ is around 92 as of today. The number they gave them was around 112 to 116 or something like it. Meaning that the variable was off by 20points. So I don't take Storfer at all seriously.

    I DEFINED and PROVIDED links for my Welfare Sources.

    You did NOT!

    Since you FAILED to DEFINE whatever you IMAGINE might be "welfare handout programs" YOU are NOT posting in good faith.

    Have a nice day!

    When I entered West Point, there were over 10,000 applicants. Slightly over 1500 were admitted. We graduated 848. No one claimed "discrimination". No one yelled "racism".
    I guess being a victim is more popular now.

    If your 'sources' convinced you that you must have worked for TEN YEARS before you can qualify for welfare handouts, your 'sources' were dead-wrong. The only connection to 'working ten years' is the one I pointed out -- in which you must have worked 10 years (i.e., 40 quarters) before you can qualify for Medicare. BTW, neither Medicare nor Social Security are 'welfare handouts'... in most cases, you must PAY into the programs all your life in order to COLLECT from them!

    And back on thread-topic -- diversity, per se, is all 'well-and-good', but the overriding, significantly important thing is QUALITY! Think of a cake recipe -- you can have lots and lot of diversity in the various ingredients, but the thing you must have first and foremost are QUALITY ingredients. Make a cake out of crap, and guess what? You'll have a crappy, substandard cake. The cake may be chocolate, vanilla, a 'swirl' or marble-cake, or some other kind, but QUALITY is QUALITY, and CRAP is CRAP.

    Have a nice day!

    over several decades ago, the late Great William F Buckley Jr, noted that certain groups used being offended as a weapon to stave off conversations they found uncomfortable

    He must have been referring to the Xtofascists who are currently BANNING children's BOOKS and the nice PEOPLE who take the TIME to READ to them.

    Back then they always had their panties twisted about something or other, remember their FAKE OUTRAGE about Slick Willy receiving a BJ from a CONSENTING adult?

    You can ALWAYS count on Xtofascists to use being OFFENDED as a political WEAPON.

    no one is banning books any more than bars are banning booze or gunshops are banning guns. Adults can buy any book they want. Tax dollars are being prevented from supplying grade schools with certain books and btw I don't support some of the prohibitions

    If I was a high school civics teacher I would want to assign my classes to read Professor J. Philippe Rushton essay, "Race, Evolution and Behavior."

    http://www.harbornet.com/folks/theedrich/JP_Rushton/Race.htm

    Those who complain about banning books would not let me.

    That would be a hilarious test of the "banning books" narrative!

    Those on the left are the book banners. They would not let a school library include books by Charles Murray, Jared Taylor, and Professor's Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and J. Philippe Rushton.

    Professor Rushton's assertions are thoroughly documented. They are obvious to anyone with extensive experience with the three major races. I can document his assertions with information I can find on the internet.

    The superior average intelligence of the Ashkenazim is too well documented by too many sources for me to doubt it. 0.2% of the world's population are Jews. Jews have won one fourth of Nobel Prizes. Jews have prominence far out of proportion to their numbers in every field requiring superior intelligence.

    The concept of "scientific racism" has been COMPLETELY and UTTERLY debunked.

    A FISH can pass an Intelligence test designed for 4 year old kids.

    That ALONE says VOLUMES about the spurious "value" of IQ tests.

    why do you think the Phi Beta Kappa membership at places like Yale and Columbia have far more Jews than blacks? Or why the partnership numbers at top Wall Street Lawfirms have far more than 2% Jewish?

    Who, besides racist white supremacists, would care about something that TRIVIAL?

    What percentage of Irish-Americans are bartenders?

    What percentage of Italian-Americans work in pizzerias?

    Did you know that you can drown in water but we let kids drink it?

    How about you just ACCEPT that some cultures have TRADITIONALLY gravitated towards certain professions. The Scottish had a reputation for being good engineers. Catholics had a reputation for having large families. Does that still apply or has ANYTHING CHANGED since those days?

    NOT everything is a secret plot to "REPLACE" the racist white supremacists.

    And, although even the mere idea of it rankles the hell out of today's 'wokesters', the more conservative adherents of Judaism have always tended to keep their bloodlines pure! :eekeyes:
