In any formal debate you would be forcibly removed from the podium after an outburst like that.
Possibly you would have a better chance of understanding the issues here if you actually read and thought carefully about what is being said here. Something you have demonstrated that you are completely unwilling or unable to do.
Perhaps, but this is the last ditch argument of the “anti-racists” – just hurl insults like a monkey throwing sh*t.
You do not prove that by asserting it.
If nothing else, the question in the thread title has been thoroughly answered.
Can New Deal Democrat STFU? No.
Wait, let me get this straight.
You were the one comparing intelligence to height, and now your asking me to agree with your own ill-begotten conclusions? I’m not going to answer these false-dilemmas you’re obviously attempting to setting up. You’re a fucking smug asshole who wallows in his ignorance like a pig in shit, and thinks he’s so clever because he’s flung poo on everyone around him. Then you want me to agree the shit is fun to wallow in and tastes good too.
Nope you’re just driving everyone away, you dickhole.
So, stop picking apart my replies, then claiming I’m not answering your questions. Accept what I wrote and fucking move on. Your ways a far too transparent and laughable.
Insults are all the “anti racists” have in their arsenal. Logic and cold hard facts clearly discredit their hysterical rants. They do everything they can do to suppress a civil, rational discussion of this matter because they know they cannot win.
But of course not, one proves this by presenting actual genetic relationship data and showing the variation does not match the archaic ideas that you advance.
This was done several times, even in the graphical form. Since this, you have merely been making increasinably self contradictory assertions
NDD, I wasn’t talking to you in this post, I was talking to those in the thread who might actually read a grown-up book about the subject in an attempt to become more educated. I already admit I can’t possibly dumb down ideas to the point where you can grasp them.
So what? This isn’t a formal debate, this is the Pit.
I basically agree. I encounter this approach all the time when I debate anti-Semites. After I demolish their arguments, their last stand is usually to say something like “Just read Kevin MacDonald’s Culture of Critique. It is well documented and demonstrates how Jews are ruining Western Culture.” But when I ask them, they are unable to summarize these killer arguments.
Fundamentally, the “anti-racists” are no different from anti-Semites. The first group cannot accept the negative qualities inherent in blacks and therefore blame all of blacks’ problems on whites. The latter group cannot accept the negative qualities inherent in whites and therefore blame all of whites’ problems on Jews.
Just because insults are allowed her does not mean that they prove anything but the emptiness of the arguments of those who post them.
I have enjoyed political arguments since I was a child. I could probably fill a small library with the books I have been told to read by those who could not respond to my fact based and logical arguments.
I wonder if those who flame us have any shame at all. According to their image of things it is the white racists who are the ignorant, abusive bores who have nothing but invective to substantiate their prejudices.
My conclusions are reasonable, not “ill-begotten.”
It is your arguments which are ill-begotten.
First you claimed (or implied) that intelligence was different from other characteristics because it’s influenced by hundreds or thousands of genes.
Now you have abandoned that argument.
Next you claimed (or implied) that intelligence was different from other characteristics because it’s difficult to capture with just one number.
When I pointed out that body shape is the same way, you (apparantly) abandoned that argument too.
And what’s your next arugment?
Lol, brilliant.
If you don’t want your replies scrutinized, just don’t reply to my posts. It’s as simple as that.
Lol, another brilliant argument.
B84, I wasn’t talking to you, either…:smack:
If it’s a red herring, than list the dimensions required to properly measure intelligence.
As an act of good faith, I’ll do so for height:
Measure one’s length.
DONE. Your turn…
Or, perhaps, you can’t think of any way to quantify it but you know it must be wrong because otherwise you would have to concede.
One does it reasonably well: IQ.
Ok, now please list the dimensions required to properly measure body shape.
Your turn.
IQ is a drastic oversimplification of many factors, and leaves some factors such as creativity completely in the dark.
Agreed.
Do you agree that “dress size” is similarly an oversimplification of body shape?
I’m not the one who originally asserted intelligence was as easy or informative as measuring height, or body shape, or whatever else you’re going to drag into this argument.
Huh. So, IQ is an aqdequate way for determining someone’s intelligence. Would it tell you the genius behind Bobby Fischer? Picasso? Beethoven? How about the hate and horror of Hitler, Lenin, Kim Jong Il or his father?
**I could go on, but you’re a dishonest debater. A quick poll:
Anyone who thinks brazil84 has demonstrated exceptional debating skills, and has primarily one his argument, say “Aye.”
If you believe the inverse, say “Lol.”**
