Sam, this is the "Science & Society" forum ....it doesn't have to be totally scientific if it has anything to do with "society". I think your style of moderation sucks!!!! Baron Max
Yes, Sam, it's under the "Science" forum, under the sub-forum "Science & Society". And if every single post here has to be totally scientific, then you'd best get out your "infraction guns" because the place is filled up with non-sciencific posts!! Sam, even the original post is non-scientific ....you should give the original poster an infraction. But you didn't, did you? Nope, you let the thread go for some 8 pages ...until some post bothered your racial sensibilities. That sucks, ya' know! Baron Max
A forum entitled 'Science and Society' is not going to be filled up with pages of hard data. Subjective experience has to be weighed against scientific objectivity when considering topic posts. So come on... your just being unfair here...
An obvious degeneration to literary stereotypes after explanation of the science and statistics cannot be overlooked. The topic under discussion is relevant not only in terms of explaining the science to people who are apparently unaware of what constitutes science but are also prone to reaching spurious conclusions based on a limited understanding of the methodology and data analysis.
No! you guys are being overtly racist, thinly disguised as scientific debate! Work out the difference, please. Oh! Deep Thought, work on your spelling too.
Part of my post was simply alluding to the fact that there is a core of truth in any stereotype otherwise it wouldn't exist in the first place would it? 'Stereotype' is a term employed in psychology and sociology so it's perfectly scientific.
Like I said, part of the effort is explaining science to people who are unaware of what constitutes science
S.A.M locks threads which offend her tender sensibilities, even when someone posts an article from a peer reviewed scientific journal which argues that on average, black brain size is smaller than white brain size. Le gasp! No doubt they'd censor any mention of the fact that the female brain is smaller than that of the male brain.
Spud, You go right ahead and say what you like, you won't hurt me and I'll be up for challenging your opinions and I won't just call you a racist to keep you quiet. I thought I was a good speller!
I'm guessing your knowledge of science is NIL If brain size was an indicator of intelligence, babies and elephants would rule; so do you get dumber with age?
Sorry, you are a good speller, I'm sure they were typo's. Please think a bit deeper about intelligence and skin colour. I think you are letting yourself down here.

It is getting to the point where, if SAM just doesn't like what you are saying, or you have a completely different view, YOU are an idiot. She starts getting personal, attacking your upbringing or whatever, then just flat out personally insults you. Then when the it goes off topic she blames you for that too. I mean it has been brought to my attention a few times now, how I have the brain of a goldfish......and that she can't fathom that neiztchefan would even be with such a person! Why? Well of course because I don't share her stupid naive opinions. I agree Baron she sucks, she is the worst Mod here!
