So you'll ignore the 70% racism and IQ bullshit (IQ is ironically a very dumb way to measure intelligence) and pick out what you like, and use that to defend him? Oh, but you won't "address the snipped bits," because there is no way you could defend him on that.

The guy is a racist, sexist, raving lunatic. Nobody needs more stupid like that.

So which is it? Do Latin Americans not have lower I.Q.s on average or is the fact that they have lower I.Q.s irrelevant? You can't have it both ways. I said having brains and using them wisely are two entirely different things. And before you scream "Racism!" again, you should know that my daughter whom I love more than the whole world is half Mexican. That word is used to shut down discussion by people who claim to be objective.

Is it racist to say that groups in different environments develop different characteristics over time due to natural selection?

Yes I can have it both ways. IQ is irrelevant to me because of the research I've done on it, but you are treating it as relevant so you can judge other races, so it's a dumb argument on two counts.

As for that "my daughter is half mexican" argument, that's not shutting down shit. It's just a variation on the classic "but I have black friends!" nonsense that racist people use to "prove" they're not racist.

Your last line is not at all racist. The easiest example is the closer to the equator you get, generally the darker the skin pigment gets. An adaptation to deal with differences in exposure to the sun. That has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, though. Natural selection should tend to favor the more intelligent of the species, regardless of skin color, so natural selection will tend to make all races smarter over a long period of time.

So some environments couldn't disproportionally benefit the intelligent more than other environments? Never mind. Fuckin drop it, Dude. We're way off topic.

Explain how, or again, shut the fuck up.

In South Africa, we call it being "racialistic". Thats what the black ruled government says when it rules that 80% of the workforce must be black - forgetting 100% about the coloured people (half black and half white)

.... on a side note, we also call smart black people coconuts. why? black on the outside, white on the inside  

full disclosure - I am not racist.

AFAICTFGTO(*), OKCoin's "recharge codes" allow users to buy CNY from other users.

UserA has CNY in his OKCoin account.  UserB ran out of CNY in his OKCoin account, has CNY in hand but cannot deposit it because the bank routes are blocked (assuming that they will be at some point).  So userB gives CNY to userA in some way (without involving OKCoin and their bank accounts), and userA transfers the same amount minus fees+profit from his OKCoin account to userB's OKCoin account.

If that is correct, this system may convince clients to keep their money in their OKCoin account even after withdrawals are blocked.  Clients like userA could make lots of money from those external "fees". Presumably they will find ways to get CNY in or out of OKCoin without going through the bank accounts.

Perhaps UserA can be OKCoin's CEO, or his cat...

btc-e is actually higher than stamp, train could be leaving.

Dont really understand shorters, 2500-2550 on huobi was a fine range to close your shorts and play it safe, the probability of this kind of bounce was decently high.

Gox and Stamp used to do that in 2012. They stopped it (or were made to stop it?) because it is easy money laundering.

51% attack alot easier to do then what some people claim...

The choice was explain how, or shut the fuck up. I explained how when I made my argument, so I did take my own advice.

Your comeback was useless, congratulations.

It's 50 cents lower.

I actually find BJA pretty offensive.  Sometimes I jerk my knee a bit too.  But the truths he elucidates in the process - often defects of my own thought derived from cohort common knowledge - are well worth the nose holding required to keep tears out of my eyes long enough to see them.

He has his moments, when he's not bloviating and being generally boorish.

Only if they are deluded by political correctness.  But by then its probably too late, and the reflexive filters will render the subject incorrigible.  At a guess, I estimate that your anti-racism is one born in the ghettos of white privilege.  If so, you will likely see racism where your culture group has defined it to be acceptable to see racism, and will be completely blind to the patronizing racism that pervades said culture.  Why is racism even a dirty word?  Fear of other.  Fear is a mind killer.

And that (the confusion deriving from fear) brings us back on-topic of speculation.

Tsk, tsk. If anyone should be fearing anything, it should be you fearing that you've stuck your neck out too far in your assumptions. Completely baseless, and entirely incorrect. I grew up lower middle class and lived in mixed race neighborhoods of the city my entire life. I have about equal amounts of white friends and friends of other races, and what I've learned is that every race has smart people, stupid people, nice people cruel people. Ultimately, we're all human, just different pigments. I don't give a shit about political correctness, I don't have any white guilt, and I'm colorblind: I don't give other races a pass just because they are a different race. It would be hypocritical of me to treat other races differently, even in a way that is positive for them, when I berate others for doing that.

What I do care about is the implication that one race is better than another simply because they are that race, then using some bullshit like IQ and "oh your country sucks" to back it up. If you're going to make such a strong assertion, it'd better not be with those weak arguments.

Oh, for fuck's sake. I hate talking about stuff like this.  Why are basketball players disproportionally black? If I even suggest it's because maybe they have genetic characteristics that make them on average better suited to the sport, then that's racist. It must be a cultural thing, right? There's no genetic component to anything? Is it racist to notice genetic characteristics or is it racists to care if there are differing characteristics? Norwegian people aren't taller? To say that one race is better than another in some particular way is not saying that one race is better than another generally. There is no "generally". "Better" at what?
 

I'm offensive? How many of you have married outside your race? Brazil sucks because it's filled with Statists. California sucks because it's filled with Californians. Jorge is a pompus psudo-intellectual. I don't even like to think in terms of groups. Jorge does. I was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.

So Norwegians are now a race?  Races don't exist.  There is more genetic variation within Africa than there is in the rest of the world combined.

And then of course we have Neanderthal genes in us as well.  We'll fuck anything.  Luckily we can't get sheep or chickens pregnant.

Use your imagination, Bro. You can't imagine an environment where intelligence has a survival and replication advantage greater than another environment? Did you even go to high school?

Someone bought like 400 btc's on stamp @441

I predict that it will break 445ish soon and will go to 500-510

Hey octaft,
so you do implicate that all people are "mentally" equal?

That's all cool with me, actually. It's just jokes. *shrug*

I think all people here are equally mental
