I dunno, roughly 2000 years is a long time.
Great part of this time people lived in ignorance and subjugation which is the only way a religion can endure. Now things have changed for good and people are waking up from the deceiving dream of religions.

What do you mean by solid foundations?
I mean Christian doctrines are not good enough to sustain the entire religion by itself for too long, it has a lot of ridiculous flaws that it's easy to question it nowadays.
I foresee the decline of religions including Christianity.

There does seem to be a certain age - around 20 when children become adults and responsible for their actions.
Lol. Mary, the mother of Jesus, got married at around 13yo according to some studies, which was very common back then.
The problem with this thread is that BK assumes the bible was written by God's inspiration, so he expects to find everything on it, which is ludicrous.
And I think that proves Christianity has no solid foundations. A pedophile could be a Christian and abuse children at the same time given that "the bible doesn't condemn it".

I heard that the low birth rate is because of the south korean society's traditions. It's frowned upon being a single mother, for example, so if a woman doesn't find a man to get married, she can't opt for an artificial insemmination to have a baby because society would look down on her.
I guess the abortion rate is high as well.

There's enough variety in humans to justify sub-speciation classification (i.e. race): Human races exist (debateart.com)You agree that there are genetic differences, but you don't want to use the 'race' word because it makes you feel bad. That's your hang up here.
There are more genetic differences within a "race" than between "races", for example a european can be genetically more similar to an asian than to another european. sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/science-genetics-reshaping-race-debate-21st-century/
All what you say has been debunked long time ago. You can't even discriminate using the culture because culture is learned and not determined genetically.

The parents of Asians are involved in their life, as should BOTH parents of blacks (but they aren’t). No such proposed policy would work without them. It’s precisely why black kids who are fatherless have the problems they do, and why generation after generation the black (redneck) culture is perpetuated.
Ok, so we might agree, given the hypothetical proposal, that culture is learned and blacks could solve their problems by changing their culture and habits.

So, just so everyone understands: you are saying that there are no genetic differences between human races?
A different skin, eyes and hair color, namely a different level of melanin, is the result of the adaptation to a specific environment, which is obviously written in the DNA, but it doesn't mean different races. Race is a serious term that imply great genetical differences, which is not the case in humans.

Social inequality does predict some of it and is a better predictor than poverty, but the say that there is no genetic component to violence, to say that all races of humans evolved to be exactly the same, that's denying evolution happened.
You're confusing evolution with adaptation. Human being's body has adapted to a specific environment, it's not that we become a new kind of human (or race) if we move to a different environment. Your argument just reveals your ignroance about genetics.

No, it is not.Culture is. Why you (and your ilk) cannot accept that fact of reality is dumbfounding.When blacks leave behind their black redneck culture, they succeed. It’s precisely why no successful black person ever buys a home back where they grew up (or anywhere else similar for that matter). Even Patrice Colours, founder of BLM, bought mansions in all white neighborhoods because she knew sticking around her hood wasn’t feasible.Inequality or inequity are both excuses for self-hatred and the victimhood mentality (ie - lack of personal responsibility and accountability).
I wouldnt put it in these terms. And you just said it, blacks won't succeed if they keep behaving the same way, which means culture is basically an OBSTACLE to be wealthier and hence reduce inequality. So culture is not a direct cause of violence, maybe it's causing violence indirectly, but I would agree to put it as one more variable in this equation of violence generator.

Oh. So, it's like they're irrationally violent and wouldn't be great to be around?Kinda like what I'm calling Brazilians.Way to make my point for me, dumbass.
No, we all latinamericans can be violent with dishonest racists sob like you, it's something that we can't stand. I would myself kick your ass back to your white supremacist's paradise, no matter if you're a woman. That's the way we usually teach some manners to racists that use conveniently real data to make false conclusions and diminish people only for their skin color.
You have compulsively been suggesting that blacks are genetically unintelligent, more agressive, and culturally inferior, but oh, you're not a white supremacist but an innocent lady that only wants to bring peace to the world. Lol. You should know that any serious researcher would never state that violence in the world is genetic-driven, that's foolish. The most likely explanation for violence, and actually there is a great concensus of it, is socieconomic inequality, not poverty, so the more the wealth gap between rich and poor, the more violent the society is.
Race is just a social construct that some people -like you- use to project their fears and frustrations.

I'm speaking from my personal experience, I didnt see any discrimination in Brazil, being myself a biracial man. In the office where I worked, there were staffers of all the races and they get along pretty well.
Besides, most of your sources show what you complain the most about liberals, namely victimization and racial quotas, so you can't say this is all racism. The problem in Brazil is not racism but crime which unfortunately are commited mainly by "afrobrazilians" (most of them are mulattos), that's why they are.murdered the most by the police but liberals interpret it as racism. And this is a historical problem because once slaves were set free they didn't recieve any support from goverment, making them live in poverty, and we know poverty is the main cause of crime.
If you compare Brazil with the US there was no segregation in the first as there was in the latter. I account it as one more reason of the great race mixing that has come about in Brazil.

@Lemming
What was your experience like in Brazil?Did you know the language before/after?Slavery 'was in Brazil, so I imagine they have 'some race politics?
Brazilians are very kind and cheerful, it's part of their culture so I had a very good experience. As to the language, I had no problem since where I come from people speak more or less portuguese (north of Uruguay). Even if I hadn't known portuguese, for a spanish speaker is quite easy to learn it.
Now, in Brazil any act of racism is illegal and as a consequence prosecuted, so if Kaitlyn said in Brazil all what she says here, she would be in prison. Maybe that's the reason why I didn't see any kind of racial discrimination. In any case, there might be a sort of subrepticious racism which is difficult to see in public as in many other countries, that is not the rule though.
Nevertheless, the current law against racism, in my opinion, helped brazilians mingle with one another so what you can see in Brazil is mainly a country of mestizos (or mulatos). I mean the racial mix was brutal so if you look at the national soccer team, you'll see most of the players are mulatos which represent the real Brazil. The same doesn't happen in the US, because their team looks segregated, imho.

“Yes, it is.” ~ This says (=) truth is the favorite element of racists. Is that what you are saying? Truth is the favorite element of racists? Truth about race? Truth about culture?Who actually said (wrote) that “racism ended when slavery was abolished”? I’ve seen no one say such a thing, and I certainly have not. Racism will be ever present across all races/cultures until the end of time. Whether individually or collectively, people will always feel a sense of superiority over another.That last sentence was garbled, please restate/rephrase.
Sorry for that. I was trying to say that racists justify their supposed superiority using either race or culture, which are called biological racism and cultural racism respectively. Cultural racism was theorized during the massive migration that took place in Europe in the 80s.
Not unless you consider the gang leaders and/or crime lords the elite.
I mean, it's very difficult that the 20% of the lower income threshold of any group survive on their own, no matter the race they belong to. People need an elite anyways that guide them so that the group thrives.
Is there a black elite? What is doing Obama for their people?

@TWS1405_2
The factors she mentioned, impulse control, aggressive behavior, pro or antisocial abilities, et al are all known genetic markers that can be looked for.
There is no doubt about it. The question is if all these traits could be attributed to an specific "racial" group (or to be more precise, the skin color), eventhough the term "race" is very vague for scientifical purposes.
Also, I really dislike the name calling just because you are either ignorant of the data she is putting forth for consideration, and/or just disagree with the data because you were unaware of its fact based existence and do not like it because it triggers your irrational emotive responses, thus the name calling in an attempt to discredit not only the data, but her specifically.
No. If you check her sources, most of them are outdated, because the genetics knowledge advances very quickly, so it's better to use fresh data.
And it's clear to me that Kaitlyn accomodates her findings so to match her racist view. In any case, it's good that you consider being neonazi something bad. It's indeed bad, but it's what I see when Kaitlyn proposes segregating people along with her biased arguments.
Race and culture are not “the favorite elements of racists,” again, that’s an ad hominem and a strawman fallacy. Truth =/= racism. Facts =/= racism. Only liberals call it racism because liberals hate the truth. Truth = racism. Just stop it already. It diminishes your position and comments when you keep crying wolf (racism).
Yes, it is. It's well documented that racism didn't end when slavery was abolished. This is specially true when europeans started to use the culture as an element to discriminate the inmigrants in the 80s given that they couldn't use the racial theory.
Race and culture go hand in hand, they are not mutually exclusive. And mixing races with zero respect for the separate cultures is where all the problems happen. Just look at all the foreign emigrants and illegal immigrants that refuse to assimilate to American culture, language, ethics, etc. and the problems/barriers that cause.There used to be pure races and pure cultures, do you really need a history lesson on how destructive it has been for some races throughout history when introduced to other races/cultures? Hell, some even had their own problems within their own race due to different ideologies and lust for power and control (e.g. the kingdoms in Africa that raided other villages, killed many, castrated men, etc. and sold them into slavery).
It's true that we sort people by races, but this is a politcal categorization, not biological. Races don't exist, we're not dogs.
As for the rest of you argument, I completely disagree. Europe has been a multicultural continent and they are alright now after a long time of wars and a lot of spilled blood.
Yeah, I disagree. There is nothing wrong with one race wanting to associate with their own. Blacks do it in America, and so much so that they have been re-segregating themselves (e.g. black graduations, black proms, black spaces in college, so on and so forth).
They're just doing what whites have been doing all the time. I always compare the racism in the States and Brazil, you'll never see segregation in the later, to the extent that demographically there is almost 50% of mestizos (mulatos) in this country, and only around 8% of blacks.
Now what do you think would happen if we did give that 20% of the lower income threshold of blacks an entire state all to themselves. Do you think they would run it sufficiently without the need for outside intervention? Or would they invite whites back in because they ruined the economy of their state and lack necessary services due to insufficient number of qualified individuals to run things?
It depends. Is there a black elite? The success of a country will depend mainly on hthe capacity and values of the elite.

It’s their lack of impulse control and predilection for aggressive behavior (as Kaitlyn pointed out) that sees them disciplined more than any other race.
You seem to dismiss all what Kaitlyn has been saying about blacks, now that you mention her. I know you kind of identify with her but let's be honest and tell us if you really dissent with most of the bigotry she threw.
Do you think blacks are genetically predisposed to be not just unintelligent but also violent as she states? She claimed black culture is genetic-driven which is absurd. Different cultures influence one another in a more globalized world and at the end one of them can prevail (like western culture) or be shaped with other culture's elements, so it's not about "race".
Kaitlyn reminds me of Hitler when he used to say that germans should preserve not only their race but their culture. Race and culture are the favourite elements of racists, but these racists ignore that there are neither pure "races" nor pure "cultures", both mix in with others and evolve over time.
The best thing humans can do to evolve and hence to succeed as species is through race mixing, nothing more. So what Kaitlyn proposes about America is far beyond against nature, it's counterproductive for all of us, it could hold humans back from evolving.
But regardless of it, I can't change her mind because racists are helpless, so I won't insist on all this because it will be a complete waste of my time.

@Kaitlyn
Firstly, IQ is a proxy for intelligence, and it's by far the best by far because it has a ton of predictive validity. I.Q. Validity (debateart.com) I.Q. attempts to determine g factor (generally intelligence) by using g loaded questions (i.e. questions that test for mental ability, avoiding knowledge tests wherever possible). So, when someone scores poorly in a test, unless they're badly sleep deprived or intoxicated, it's a mostly accurate measurement of their intelligence, and that intelligence is mostly heritable.
I'm afraid it's not like that. I see by the way that you think in a linear way. Science is complex so if you don't analyse it in an integrative, holistic way you'll come to the wrong conclusion (or the conclusion you want to be).
Anyway, I'll explain it again. I was refering to the intelligence written in the DNA, not the intelligence that is developed by the person which can effectively be measured by a IQ test. The point is that environment plays a huge role in the development of intelligence. But even so, the way the person faces the IQ test can influence the final score as well, because of something called the Pygmalion effect. So, I pose the question, are blacks getting bad results in education because of the prejudices against them? My guess is a big yes.
Secondly, intelligence is impacted by environment, but I.Q. is roughly 80% heritable (leaving 20% to environmental impacts -- happy to expand upon this point if needed). Poverty has virtually zero impact on intelligence, unless the child is severely malnourished (which is exceedingly rare in 1st world countries) or sleep deprived (can't find a safe place to sleep). Even in the case of being severely malnourished, it doesn't affect intelligence that much. It's only recently that Eastern Asian brain size exceeded that of White brain size, and that was due to lack of nutrition for China's poorer people, particularly during the Great Leap Forward (historical Eastern Asian-White difference: Imgur: The magic of the Internet ) (modern Eastern-Asian-White difference: The Construction of a Chinese MRI Brain Atlas: A Morphometric Comparison Study between Chinese and Caucasian Cohorts - PMC (nih.gov) ) . Despite this, brain size only correlates with I.Q. at 0.24-0.4 (depending on the study you read), so East Asians were only marginally less intelligent than what they should have been had they been well-fed.
You might have strong evidence about the percentages you just provided so categorically. I wouldn't dare to do that.
At any rate, I'll prove that you're completely wrong, my dear neonazi.
Thirdly, education doesn't impact intelligence to any serious degree, unless it's at early childhood (but this doesn't matter in the long run). Intelligence (g factor) is latent cognitive ability, not learned knowledge. Being poorly educated is pretty much a result of not having the right genetics for education, of which is compounded by having parents who have bad genetics for education, too (of which are inherited as well). Intelligence becomes more and more expressed as a child ages, so by the time they are 12-18 years old, genetics is the overwhelming factor in intelligence (relevant graph: Imgur: The magic of the Internet ; taken from: The heritability of general cognitive ability increases linearly from childhood to young adulthood - PMC (archive.org) ) (relevant graph: Imgur: The magic of the Internet ; taken from: Behavioral genetics of cognitive ability: A life-span perspective. (apa.org) )
I guess you're not aware about the last advancements of genetics. It's well know today that the environment can strongly influence the expression of certain genes and genetical traits, like intelligence. It's called epigenetics. So, I'm not surprised that blacks have low intelligence because of their low socio economic status.
By the way, when I mention education, I mean all what implies education which includes stimulation. The brain is like a muscle that we should work out, otherwise it wouldn't perform at its maximum potential, which is what happens in impoverished people. Things like playing piano, playing chess or learning several languages,are ways to stimulate the brain and intelligence.
Lastly, Black culture is a result of Black genetics impacting the environment, thus making a new environment, thus creating a feedback loop. You wouldn't have "Black culture" without Black genetics (a prominent, stifling genetic component being Black's lower impulse control, of which badly hurts their ability to save/invest long-term: (controls for parental SES and IQ A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety (pnas.org) ) (meta-analysis of relevant data Racial Differences in Self Control – The Alternative Hypothesis (archive.org) )
Are you suggesting that culture is genetic? How wrong you are. If what you say were true, there wouldn't be rich educated blacks who are not few in the US.
TWS made a good explanation about the roots of black culture, which as far as I know is related to ebonics and irish culture. So, the american black culture wasn't made up by slaves but borrowed by irish. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
What you appear to be trying to say is that it's not heritable, in that instance, which is plausible. However, this doesn't dismiss the idea that there are differing levels of testosterone in Blacks versus Whites, both due to environment and naturally, and thereby cause Blacks to be more aggressive. You haven't actually counterargued what I said.
In the same paper I provided, it says there was no difference in T levels among educated young blacks. So that proves your hypothesis is incorrect.

I'm not sure if you're ignorant about genetics or you're just being how you really are, but I see you're forcing your conclusions to the detriment of some ethnic groups. And I tell you, that's racist. But let's see how dishonest you are when it comes to argumentation as you used to be in DDO.
You claimed based on a paper that blacks are genetically less intelligent than whites and asians. That is not true, or at least it's a half truth. What the data shows is that blacks have poor results in IQ tests, which is not the same to say they're genetically less intelligent. Intelligence is determined by genes and the environment the person grows up. It's not only genes, so if a child is born in a poor family, there is a lot of chances he ends up being less intelligent than he should be because he is not well nourished nor well educated in his early years. www.unesco.org/en/articles/why-early-childhood-care-and-education-matters. I think I don't need to prove blacks are poorer than whites mainly because of their attitudes and their culture as TWS pointed out.
You also said high levels of testosterone is associated to more violence and agression, and as blacks have more levels of testosterone than whites then they are more violent. This is also a half truth. Actually, researchers are pointing out that culture has something to do with the increase of T levels, it's not a genenital issue. According to the article, "...a growing body of evidence suggests that testosterone is as much the result of violence as its cause. Indeed, both winning a sporting match and beating an opponent at chess can boost testosterone levels. (On the other hand, losing a sporting match, growing old and becoming obese all reduce levels of testosterone.)". The article provides an example of it comparing southerners and northerners young americans blacks, the first have more T levels because of a practice called "culture of honor" that makes southerners to increase their T levels. In other words, high T levels responds to a cultural behaviour rather than a genetic trait.
Blacks and Whites need to be separated. Give Blacks and Whites some good land and let's move past the utter disaster of attempting to create a sustainable multi-racial country.

Crime is a social phenomenon, and as such it should be addressed from a social and even a cultural perspective. Genetics has little to do with it.
As for your quest, I think blacks kill more whites because of the hatred against whites. People talk about racism against blacks all the time, which is ok, but they forget the racism against whites, which is neglected by all the society.
Instead of only supporting the "black lives matter" movement, there should be a sort of "reconciliation between blacks and whites" movement. If the society tips the scales only in favour of blacks as the media does it today, you'll have these results.

Is the development of the dysphoric mind relative to sexuality, evolutionary in terms of biological evolution or data evolution?
I've always thought it is part of nature's manufacturing defects, as many other birth human defects like deafness, blindness, down syndrome, dwarfism, etc. Nature commits mistakes all the time, something that we human beings should solve before the conception happens.
In Iceland, you won't see people with down syndrome because parents abort them once they realize the fetus has that defect. I wonder if we can do the same for the rest of defects.

People are still afraid of them, we see them as weird creatures. And I'm not sure we can accept them as part of our social circle anytime soon.

Also it is just common decency. Women should dress properly, because showing off your breasts, genitals, and a** is not appropriate for women to do.
Well, that's pretty much what is going on with sluts, but it's not a matter of culture because women are free to do whatever they want, even to dress like a slut.
As I said, as women are free to show off their physical attributes, men should also be able to get access to all the available sexual options as well, which includes prostitution. Making prostitution illegal is quite the same as refrain men from having sex, because as one poster said, women are willing to have sex only with a fraction of men, so what will happen with the rest? They just look? They should settle for masturbation? It's possible that some of them end up raping a woman.

How do we teach men to control their urges?
Allowing prostitution, of course. Each city should have an area in the outskirts devoted to brothels and related businesses, something similar to Las Vegas, so men can unleash their primitive instincts.
As far as I'm concerned, sexual repression is not good for men, you can see the consequences of it in the Catholic church where priests are obliged to be sexually abstinent (most of them don't stick to the rule).
In fact, I've seen some studies that claim pornography helps to decrease rapes, obviously because it keeps men sexually satisfied.

Insightful observations are nearly useless until they are verified. The best they can do is give us an idea of what to test/study. Any conclusion you draw from observations is inductive in nature and isn't reliable.
Saying that black people dominate certain sports doesnt need any kind of evidence, it's just a matter of observation. You can't deny this simple fact just because there is not a formal study, that's foolish because the correllation is evident, you just have to watch Espn.
Besides, I didnt even know there were studies about that, the study I provided was not to prove my point but to explain why it happens that, because I was pretty sure blacks have something special that makes them better than any other ethnicity in certain sports.
And there is another observation I want to make, if you let me do it. Blacks also dominate bodybuilding. It's easy for them to grow big muscles. Do I need a study for that? No, but I'm really interested to know why. 😆

Observations can spark you to test something, but they should never be the conclusion.
I don't think Charles Darwin would agree with you, but it's right that most of the time thoughtful observations lead to further research with controlled variables.
So, me asking for studies/data for the points you make is an "argument trap". We should just believe whatever you think you observe.
For the millionth time, you don't need evidence to make your point. If you can't stand it, it's because you're clueless about how to refute a logical argument based on simple observations. It's very simplistic to say "you have no evidence so your argument is invalid". Many famous people in the past were mocked to show their insighful observations that saved the world later, like Pasteur for example.

Well, surely some matter more than the others?
I mean from a collective perpective. I can deem your opinion as rubbish, but for others it might be valuable.

Yeah and guess what "science" uses inference rules with? Data ("all the time").
You might be thinking that scientists only draw conclusions from lab experiments. That's wrong. We can infer certain things based only on simple observations, like when Newton witnessed an apple falling to the ground, he elaborated his gravitational theory from that simple fact.
In the same way, people have long OBSERVED that blacks dominate certain sports because of some physical traits they have. And we were not wrong about that because there is indeed a biological difference that makes blacks better than their white counterparts in sports that involve speed.
If your opinions are just a bunch of unsupported bare assertions, then they don't matter.Sorry, but make better arguments or don't bother.
No, ma'am, I already told you, my assertions are based on thoughtful observations.
What I see, though, is that you are making the same mistake as in DDO, you're using argument traps. This is not honest at all.

Wrong. Sports (in any version) doesn’t equal sexual relations between a biologism’s male and/or a biological female, you ignoramus.
You stated that "sports take no intelligence", which is wrong and that's what I was addressing.
As to the equivalence I did, I already rectified it.
I also said that blacks have more sexual stamina, I've got to admit I was rambling. The fact that blacks are good at physical work doesnt mean they are good in bed.

No, I don't need to provide data or evidence for any point I provide in my arguments since there is something called "logic" that allows us effectively to reach to conclusions through the basic use of inference rules. Science uses it all the time. And that's what I'm doing in this thread.
If you are unable to understand that simple reasoning it's easy to dismiss other people's arguments saying foolishly that there is no evidence.
And finally, this is not a competition, nobody is here to win a debate (there is a debate board for that), but just to leave OPINIONS, and to me everyone's opinions matter. All the threads in the forum are full of OPINIONS if you didnt realize, and it's ok, that's what this forum is for. So, I suggest you to get used to it.

How have you confirmed that this is the case?
There are plenty of evidence that blacks have the biggest dick in the world, and asians the smallest. I don't need to give a source for that. Just google it.
But as to the sexual superiority, this is my hypothesis based on the preferences of today's women. According to several testimonies, women are leaned to fantasize with black guys because of their physical attributes, which includes the dick size. That's why I say they are sexually superior, which is not the same to say they have a superior sexual performance. And this is not a stereotype because blacks have been known by their physical power. Actually, William Faulkner used to say that the source of racism against blacks was this physical gift which whites envied and saw it as a threat. But who knows.
I also said that blacks have more sexual stamina, I've got to admit I was rambling. The fact that blacks are good at physical work doesnt mean they are good in bed.
