RIGHT NOW!? What are you ten? Are you going to take your toys and go home. Look, all this race/intelligence was really ignited by the polemical book The Bell Curve (Weren't the two guys nailed for getting their funding from some eugenics institute.? I could be wrong). Since then, many others have come forward to refute these findings. I can google tit for tat studies with you on this. It won't give you any satisfaction as you have the blind devotion of the religious. Look, intelligence is very closely aligned with consciousness and that region is very nebulous at best and, probably, in many ways unknowable. You want to make black and white distinctions (sorry: not a pun) between races as to intelligence, well Craig Venter, the Human Genome guy [an attention whore not unlike yourself 
], is on record as saying their is no link. Now, scientists are not infallible, and we should keep this in mind, but I'm going to go with his opinion over yours. You're always crowing about your intelligence and Mensa....you know what real studies say about that? It just means you are good at memorization and study and taking standardized tests - maybe a 'good' measure of intelligence but certainly a very indirect one. You want to know who I think are the most intelligent people, and I've met more than a few meteors like Stephen Jay Gould, Ed Said? Writers. That's right, particularly people who write novels...and they come in all sorts of sizes and colours.
Give me the data and I will read it. Don't think I won't change my opinion if you give me the data. Rest assured, I will.
It's sort of like supplements. I look at the totality of available data that is out there for any given supplement.
Matt take your idol Ryan Deluca for example. Do you think that you would EVER find him on a public message board insisting that minorities are inferior? Knowledge of the higher spiritual law supercedes all human logic in it's ability for it's practice to increase ones' quality of life and I am very certain that, given his huge business success he abides first and foremost by this higher set of rules.
And despite your brutal analytical skills and ability to process huge amounts of information you are blind to their utility making you worse than dumb. Learn to see the forest as well as the trees. Examine more gross patterns of behavior such as the one above.
Strawman. Show me the white man who has ran the 100M in under 10 seconds! You can't, you won't.
CQ pointed out that it is wise not to talk about religion and politics. However, I think it is only unwise to do so when you are talking to DUMB people. For example, for those who subscribe to the egalitarian agenda, go to a redneck and explain your point of view and let me know how that goes over. It's not that these issues can't be discussed, they simply can't be discussed with dumb people.
Talking to SMART people about religion, politics, or what have you is NOT a bad thing from my vantage point.
But I will not bring up these issues on here ever again. If people continue to badger me and bring it up, that is another issue. I will not be talking about these things on THIS board ever again. As Ron said, it's just clutter on the G&O - it should be posted in the politics board or elsewhere.
