It's a mystery, isn't it? Maybe I'm your next door neighbor? Maybe I've been banging your wife everytime she sends you down to the store to pick up those cookies she loves so much?
Nice furnishings, by the way. Very tasteful.
Nice furnishings? You really don't know who I am. I'm poor, I can't afford tasteful nice furnishings. I mean... it's ok, but not great...
And she doesn't eat cookies. So you're dumb!
Come off it, Nelson. You're not that hard a guy to get to know.
Hello sock puppet. Who are you?
Evidence?
I'm tempted to roll out those rolly eyes you love so much, but I'll restrain myself.
Ok. Let's post it again:
"Inbreeding is a problem in any culture, not just with asians.
Ok. Let me just redefine this thing. Because nobody here seems to understand anyways.
From dictionary.com:
in·breed ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nbrd)
tr.v. in·bred, (-brd) in·breed·ing, in·breeds
1. To breed by the continued mating of closely related individuals, especially to preserve desirable traits in a stock.
2. To breed or develop within; engender.
...
1.The breeding of related individuals within an isolated or a closed group of organisms or people.
So, inbreeding is a problem because it causes genetic complications. It doesn't matter if it is with asians or non-asians. The "race" is irrelevant. Inbreeding is not genetically beneficial.
So here is the fucking evidence of what I've been talking about for pages.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding
"Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives.
If practiced repeatedly, it typically leads to a reduction in genetic diversity. Inbreeding often leads to reduced health and fitness (called consanguinity depression, inbreeding depression); however, livestock breeders often practice inbreeding, then cull unfit offspring, especially when they are trying to establish a new and desirable trait in their stock.
An inbred individual is likely to possess several physical and health defects, in addition to higher incidence of inheriting a poor trait. They include:
- reduced fertility both in litter size and in sperm viability
- increased congenital disorders
- fluctuating facial asymmetry
- lower birth rate
- higher infant mortality
- slower growth rate
- smaller adult size
- loss of immune system function.
"
Th reason why I said chinese could possibly be more inbred is because they lived in isolation within individual farms for centuries, until not long ago (like 50 years or so). That was my whole point. As it is said in the article, inbreeding reduces genetic diversity, which is on eof the reasons why I encourage interbreeding, multicultural acceptance, etc. That's the whole point of the thread. "
Truthseeker, your idea is dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
So dumb that it's astoundingly dumb. It's the kind of dumb that make people stop to take a closer look because they just can't believe how dumb it is.
Dumb.
That's a great logical argument.
Tricky, of course, but there are ways of proving such things should it come down to it. IP addresses. Email addresses and such. I'm not saying that the forum environment is a fortress for you intellectual property, no. But, it is protected by copyright. You do have rights pertaining to your intellectual works.
Very little. It is easy to steal intellectual property. Some people even protect their trade "dress"!
A point to consider also is that it is doubtful that any works presented here would be complete. Rather, there would be mere facets worked out here and there. It would be in the stitching together of the facets in an aesthetically pleasing manner that would be the true intellectual work of the finished piece.
Yes. I can still pick it up and do the rest of the work. Then what?
Most of the posts here aren't meant for even eventual publication anyways. People are more sharpening their word slinging skills.
Yes, that's true. Just as I said before anyways.
You squirm. You try to defend the indefensible.
It's not always indefensible.
I suppose that this is not necessarily how you react in real life. This is an environment where nothing is really at stake and some skills can be learned from attempting to defend the indefensible. But, you never really do a good job of it.
And who are you to say that? Not only that, but who cares about the result anyways? You learn with the process, not the results.
I said 'flail' not 'fail'. You know. Arms akimbo?
Oh well, whatever.
Anyway. There's nothing wrong with failing. What I'm talking about with looking at yourself is more of a matter of self-honesty.
Perhaps you don't lie to yourself. Perhaps you merely present the face to the forum. Try to defend yourself against all odds to the public at large. But still maintain some form of inner integrity.
Well, of course. I wouldn't have changed so much if it wasn't for my inner integrity. Have you seen my latest thread? "The True Purpose of Capitalism"? I used to hate capitalism. I would talk about that here. Now I love it, because I'm getting different perspectives. I still can see the imperfections, but those imperfections are often a reflexion of human imperfection. Well, not always, but it's ok. Capitalism can still be improved...
When you flail about, changing stances, dragging in all sorts of irrelevant bullshit, striving desperately to come out on top even though your flailing just makes you sink faster, that's not a good thing. That's all.
Which changes? I usually don't change anything. I often elaborate my thoughts.
And you should strive for honesty when raising a child. Instill within your child that need for honesty. For self-honesty.
Well, of course. That's not what most parents do though. In fact, I don't think most people know how to do that.
Too many people lying to themselves out here.
Know what I mean?
Yeah.
Nothing wrong with failing. But, what is wrong is in refusing to admit it. You can't get back on the bike if you refuse to admit that you've fallen off the bike.
That's true.
As to all your problems with your family and that. Too bad. But, the fact of the matter is that all that should have been worked out beforehand. Maybe you should be working a construction job rather than going to school. Maybe you shouldn't be depending on the government to support you and your family. Ever consider that?
I don't think you understand the position of someone who is immigrating to one of the best countries in the planet...
I mean... I'm living in the best place to live in the entire planet. Don't you think I would have fought for that?
No, I can't work on a construction job. I'm only allowed to study. Still, even if I could, I wouldn't leave school and just work. Unless I had a business idea or enough money to invest. But that's not the case. So I rather study accounting and prepare myself for investing and building businesses when I'm allowed to. I absolutely hate depending on the government. It's way too volatile. I prefer to do my own business and take control of my life. But I'm not allowed to do that yet.
Just be honest with yourself if with nobody else. That's all.
Well, of course!
I can't judge you in entirety because I have only your forum self to observe. But, that forum self is inherently self-deceptive in my opinion. As evidenced by your defenses in this thread. What made me come into post was how you finally resorted to the "I wasn't serious anyway" defense.
It wasn't a defense. I wasn't serious. I don't care what comes out from this discussion. I just love discussing here. It gives me adrenaline.
You know what? I will tell you something I never said in thsi forums. I'm terrible at public speaking. I use these forums to slowly improve my public speaking skills and to work on my ideas, having them criticized. It's easier for me to do this here first then just jump into speaking right away.
We both know that's not entirely true (not entirely false either.) You were serious. Jokingly serious, yes. But serious. You've failed to defend your ideas but refuse to retract them.
Well, of course there was some degree of seriousness, but I still don't care. I might have thought about it and everything, and I might be accurate, but it doesn't matter. This is not about winning an argument, it's about the thrill of the discussion.
Do you wonder why the phd's don't want to talk to you?
They
are talking with me. I just answered spuriousmonkey, not long ago.
