Sociology - October 2006

I've been reading a lot about the "Bell Curve" and all that, and it's really quite distressing.

There are a lot of studies out there that allegedly show that most black people are just naturally and genetically inferior to most other races- as far as intellect goes.

Do you think that's true? Do black people, even when sharing the same culture as your own, strike you as stupid?

I'm black, and honestly, I almost cried when I read about this. I value my grades and my intelligence and make straight A's. I score above average in IQ tests and I really, REALLY have a hard time believing that I'm some type of REALLY rare anomaly.

Most black people that I come in contact with really don't strike me as unintelligent, not even when we're doing school work...but these studies are trying to tell me otherwise.

How do you feel about this, and do you really think it makes a difference? :(

It is a fact of life that men are born more powerful than female. With that in mind, it could depend on the sport.

Sports that do not require power could be played against both sexes. But you cannot in power sports, such as, football, tennis and golf.

What do you think? What are the differences between both male and female?

First off it has nothing to do with me.

A girl has no sexual desires or feelings at all sexually whether to anyone or just him, but does it with him anyway? Is that unfair and lying?

What do you think, guys? (mean guys not girls)

On Good Morning America today Diane Sawyer talked to Korean School children. She adked them the question" If you could go any where in the world where would you go?" a young person clarified to ask (Do you mean travel?)

The answer for the class was NO where. We live in the most beautiful place in the world. Why would we leave to go somewhere else??
Are they brain washed or are the people truley content?

When offensive questions are posted here, what really hurts, is that another human, who started out as a bright-eyed baby, full of promise, has been so neglected and unfulfilled. Left to flounder, without grace, insensitive and in ignorance.

No weapons. If you no longer go to school, cast your mind back to the halycon days.
