    I agree. Humanity's ability to progress is much higher than that of the planktons and whatnot.

    The problem is of course finding geniuses among planktons.

    Or for you old-timers, diagram it.

    He's made a statement that will support any of the 3 options he's put forward, with slight twists of word position within the diagram.

    Bravo! He's missed a career opportunity as a writer of congressional legislation.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Well, that's because the French have such big heads.

    Actually, it is really unfair to say anything bad about Texans - it is no fault of their own that they are perceptually challanged.

    "Minorities" may have less chances of a good education. This does not mean they lack the mental abilities to comeplete one...

    Its not about being better its about being different. If there were no such thing as diffrences there would be less Jewish scientists and more jewish sports stars and vice versa

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I think diffrent races do have varying degrees of intellegence. This doesnt mean one race is "stupid" but I think you are really turning a bilnd eye to things when you think everyone is on a level mental and physical playing feild
    Replace the word races with individuals and many would agree. The uneven playing field is due to cultural/societal practices not genetic differences.
