Elementary distinctions- some versus all, probable versus always, and is versus ought, are eagerly flouted to paint human nature as an extremist doctrine and thereby steer readers away from it. The analysis of ideas is commonly replaced by political smears and personal attacks. This poisoning of the intellectual atmosphere has left us unequipped to analyze pressing issues about human nature just as new scientific discoveries are making them acute.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967508006050554024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-70128474338813854452012-06-06T11:48:35.217-07:002012-06-06T11:48:35.217-07:00the white people are smart because they're atl...the white people are smart because they're atlantean arians or Lemurians!a little known fact they don't want you to know .they have some integrated into all races of all countries that have controlled those countries from the top down .I think when you judge a certain microcosm of whites you're not getting the whole picture .this is a grand grand conspiracy and spans many millenia maybe from the beginning of known society .they also propagate busy counter propaganda keeping us from knowing the truth and never ending circle of division .but what I would like to know is what really makes them smarter .so I can take whatever they're taking .penn fight fire with fire !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-62892890464695407872012-06-03T14:14:18.104-07:002012-06-03T14:14:18.104-07:00@Anon 1:43, As with others, I am happy to remove a...@Anon 1:43, As with others, I am happy to remove a photo, if the purported owner request it and provides reasonable evidence of ownership, in the form of a copyright notice.

No way in hell the white folks were smarter than the West Indians. The white relatives were ignorant, superstitious, cautiously racist (around us- likely more blatant with their own) and generally embarrassing.

Intelligence will lose. Which is a bit surprising considering it was in Greece that the idea of hubris and the punishment that follows developed in plays and popular mythology.
