SDMB Bigoted Asshole Omnibus Thread

Once again, you fucking moron, the whole purpose of the Pit is to flame idiots like you two. If you don’t like the insults, you don’t have to participate in the thread. We’ve here because both of you don’t respond to rational arguments, but continue to make the same stupid statements over and over again even when they’ve been refuted.

Of course- any study that agrees with your conclusions must be a good study, and any study that doesn’t must have problems. You’ve shown remarkably little inclination to challenge yourself.

And at least Eyferth didn’t make up data like Lynn did.

No I’m not. As I said, you’re too stupid to recognize them.

If this means you think you’re putting me on ignore, you can’t.:smiley:

The downside is that I can’t put you on ignore.

Populations that have evolved in the same areas facing similar population pressures can be called races.

Ok, so there are upwards of 600 races or more, and they are all far more closely related to each other than animal subspecies.

Until 60 years ago, where was the “Oriental” country that had any of these?

Apparently, “whites”, who under your classification are less intelligent and more prone to crime, achieved one earlier than the superior “Oriental” cultures, which required intervention by Western countries to achieve all those things. And it’s still not even true for China, which represents a huge portion of the human population and is the predominant example of “Orientals” under your classification.

You can’t even make your own asinine theory match the real world in your own examples.

Since, according to you, populations can evolve in less than 200 years, that means “Virginian” is now a race?

Wow. Just wow.

By that criterion the “black race” doesn’t exist. There are a vast variety of drastically different environments in sub-Saharan Africa, from rainforests to deserts to temperate highlands.

Further- supposedly inferior whites overwhelmingly dominated far older ancient civilizations like China in military conflicts in the past few centuries.

Most human evolution happened during the paleolithic era, which existed for several million years. Intelligence was important. That is why by the beginning of the neolithic period in the Near East about ten thousand years ago humans everywhere in the world were more intelligent than our closest relatives, the chimpanzees.

Nevertheless, a paleolithic existence requires a comparatively limited vocabulary. It does not require a knowledge of mathematics and writing. In a civilization those who can master these, and other kinds of knowledge usually live better than those who find these subjects difficult to learn. Consequently, during most of history they have been more prolific.

Having a lot of children who usually die of malnutrition and disease does not matter for human evolution. Having a smaller number of children who survive and reproduce does matter.

Another thing to consider is that fossil evidence of paleolithic humans, as well as accounts of paleolithic humans who continued a paleolithic way of life long enough to have their ways of life recorded by literate observers indicates that warfare was much more prevalent during the paleolithic era than it has been since. Consequently, we should expect races that emerged more recently from a paleolithic existence to have a higher rate of violent crime. They do.

Actually if you **do **believe this after his clam ups, the “banning” of others, the gross ignorance and avoidance of clear examples were he has several times avoided the clear evidence that shows that he is wrong on global warming and other subjects, you are really just looking like an idiot for attempting to defending in such a lame way.
And that is fine with me.

To be fair, Virginia is for lovers, so they might be speeding things up. :wink:

By what measure? In the last century, wars wiped out tens of millions. What era has had even close to the same amount of death by violence?

Until very recently, the vast majority of those who lived in “civilized” societies were illiterate and uneducated. And the illiterate and uneducated masses had the vast majority of offspring. Do you have any evidence that those who mastered mathematics and writing had more offspring then those who did not?

To Colibri, from Brazil.
I mean, how cool is that? It’s like watching ‘The Weakest Link’ on TV, except on Opposite Day!

Civilizations have always had elites. Although social mobility varied from one nation to another it always existed, and there was always upward mobility for individuals of talent. Those in the elite were less likely to die from disease and much less likely to die from malnutrition and starvation.

War Before Civilization: the Myth of the Peaceful Savage (Oxford University Press, 1996) is a book by Lawrence H. Keeley, an archeology professor at the University of Illinois who specializes in prehistoric Europe. The book deals with warfare conducted throughout human history by societies with little technology…

The attrition rate of numerous close-quarter clashes, which characterize warfare in tribal warrior society, produces casualty rates of up to 60%, compared to 1% of the combatants as is typical in modern warfare. Despite the undeniable carnage and effectiveness of modern warfare, the evidence shows that tribal warfare is on average 20 times more deadly than 20th century warfare, whether calculated as a percentage of total deaths due to war or as average deaths per year from war as a percentage of the total population.[citation needed] “Had the same casualty rate been suffered by the population of the twentieth century,” writes Nicholas Wade, “its war deaths would have totaled two billion people.”[1] In modern tribal societies, death rates from war are four to six times the highest death rates in 20th century Germany or Russia.[2]…

One half of the people found in a Nubian cemetery dating to as early as 12,000 years ago had died of violence. The Yellowknives tribe in Canada was effectively obliterated by massacres committed by Dogrib Indians, and disappeared from history shortly thereafter.[citation needed] Similar massacres occurred among the Eskimos, the Crow Indians, and countless others. These mass killings occurred well before any contact with the West. In Arnhem Land in northern Australia, a study of warfare among the Indigenous Australian Murngin people in the late-19th century found that over a 20-year period no less than 200 out of 800 men, or 25% of all adult males, had been killed in intertribal warfare.[citation needed] The accounts of missionaries to the area in the borderlands between Brazil and Venezuela have recounted constant infighting in the Yanomami tribes for women or prestige, and evidence of continuous warfare for the enslavement of neighboring tribes such as the Macu before the arrival of European settlers and government. More than a third of the Yanomamo males, on average, died from warfare…

The book was a finalist for the 1996 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History.[5]

the northern European ancestors of most white Americans were quite primitive long after real civilizations had been established in the Mediterranean and Middle East. In fact, none of the advances you count as civilization originated in northern Europe. None.

They mostly originated in the Middle East, and were then borrowed by Mediterranean Europeans to make further advances.

Northern Europeans, by contrast, were extremely violent, and extremely primitive until very recently. Read the accounts by Arab travelers of the pagan Germanic peoples they encountered in the early middle ages.

If you want to make the argument that modern day Italians and Greeks are more civilized by virtue of being descended from long lines of civilized people - I’m skeptical but you least have some grounds there.

But your Viking (I’m assuming) ancestors were bloodthirsty marauders, at war with themselves, and with anyone within a few weeks sail, until relatively recently. I used to tease my college roommate about this - would you really feel better if the people burning down your village, slaughtering the men and boys and kidnapping your little sisters for slave concubines were white? Would that make your heart burst with white pride?

Currently the Scandinavians have low crime rates. A possible explanation for the difference between now and 1,200 years ago is that the more aggressive males went on the raiding parties where most of them got killed, or settled elsewhere. The more peaceful males stayed home to tend the farm.

Civilization began in Egypt and in what is now Iraq. Egypt has a low crime rate, despite a low standard of living.

Hey, kids, it’s sing-a-long time!

Why were you born so beautiful?
Why were you born at all?
You’re no fuckin’ use to anyone.
You’re no fuckin’ use at all.

But Iraq doesn’t.
