And you only had to instigate one of the biggest threads in pit history to do it.
Makes me think of a book I read as a kid where a hen squeezes and strains for days before finally laying a dinosaur egg bigger than her body 
My thought was that he was a very determined troll… so banning was probably for the best. Brazil84 is an out and out idiot who seems to actually believe the crap he spouts. That’s scary.
Anybody else getting a “Race-Thread 2.0” vibe from the current “Does Anyone Believe Sexual Preference is 100% Genetic?” GD thread? The newly-joined OP of that thread has dodgy and misunderstood cites, seems to be arguing against extremist opponents that may only exist as phantoms, says “To me, it is an example of a political agenda trumping sound science.” etc.
I’m suspecting an eventual “gotcha!” along the lines of “well, if you admit that gay behaviour can be be caused by genetics [whether or not anyone actually argues this, the OP will claim it is so being argued], why can’t black criminal behaviour?! Are you a bunch of hypocrites?!”
I’m suspicious of the poster a tad, yes.
NDD is bringing the bottom of the barrel in eh (pertaining to that poster)? Proxies are sure being used alot lately methinks
I hope by now everyone is a bit suspicious of any poster who joins just for the purpose of starting a thread that pushes a SDMB button.
Yep.
And just for the record, I’m all in favor of putting all the bigoted assholes on an omnibus. Or any other kind of bus. Preferable at the back of the omnibus.
What do you call an omnibus almost full of bigoted idiots driven off a cliff??
-XT
Hitler?
He can’t help it that he inherited a whole array of stoopidness genes.
The culmination of thousands of generations of homosexual reproduction, no doubt.
A waste of an empty seat.
Is one of them driving?
Gravity is a PC conspiracy.
Because heritable means genetic, right?
Number of sexual partners presumably grows more heritable through a person’s life. Does that mean sexual voracity is genetic?
Edited to add: why the hell not.
Pretty much yes.
I don’t know if this is true or not. It would be very difficult to measure. It would appear that the Kardashians are a data point in favor of this hypothesis. (ETA: Query whether Kim Kardashian was born to be a slut or raised to be a slut)
Possibly yes. If there is some way to measure sluttiness, I would not be surprised at all to learn that genetics plays a role.
Anyway, putting the issue of race aside, are you disputing that on an individual level, genetics plays a substantial role in determining a person’s intelligence?
Are you disputing that the size of this role generally increases from childhood to adolescence? (Again, on an individual level.)
Eppur si muove.
Against you.
Lol, whatever.
As I asked you in what is now post #2356, do you agree that some of the observed differences between Race 1 and Race 2 are the result of genetics?
Also, are you seriously disputing that differences in eye color between two large groups of people is caused substantially by genes?
And are you saying that you don’t know whether Ashkenazim and ethnic Germans can be grouped by their genes?
And what exactly would I look for to determine whether a particular group can be grouped by its genes? Would I look for a gene (actually an allele) which is found in all members of that group but in no other group? Or something else?
I’m sorry - are you under the impression that I care to continue to engage in your irrelevant semantic tangents? I realized pages ago that you weren’t worth seriously engaging with since you never seem to understand any answer that isn’t “yes” or “no”. The fact that I indulge in the occasional potshot is purely for my own amusement rather than to persuade you of anything.
Or if you like: goodbye, idiot.
