What has happened to the world?- kids are totally out of control. They don't go to school and if they do they assault their teachers. If they get expelled- they return and shoot their teachers or classmates. They are rude, aggressive, lazy and mostly stupid as hell(because they don"t go to school). Who thinks we should bring back some proper punishment for these little bast*rds! They should be seen and not heard!! The next kid who gives me grief is going to be introduced to a whole world of pain

These are opposite words but i need a word to sum them up.... for example to sum up happiness and sadness i would say they are emotions. How do you sum up 'fickleness' and 'fidelity' in this case? (I'm not referring to love... i'm referring to human fickleness as a whole and fidelity on the obedience of social codes and laws)

If someone told you
"just because you have a degree, it doesn't mean you know any better?" how would you interpret that and how would you handle this situation.

Details:

Let's say you just got hired and your manager who never went to college therefore never got a degree tells you the above

If there is a concept of beauty within a population, then the strongest ones will get a beautiful mate, and create beautiful offspring. Thus, because of beauty, better genes get passed on.

Could our attractions be hardwired into our brains in order for the continuation of mankind?

Animals have certain forms of beauty, such as bright colors meaning a better mate.

Just because our concepts of beauty are more complex, does it really mean our love is any different?

This is one of the answer to a question I asked about affirmative action. I personally think this guy was trying to piss people off. What do you think?


Blacks get the biggest boost from Affirmative Action, on a per capita basis. The reason is that Blacks have the lowest IQ's and the least motivation to sacrifice immediate personal gratification to longterm goals. Blacks are also the race most likely to steal from employers.

Being typically incompetent and of generally poor character, Blacks often find that employers are reluctant to hire them. The employers don't like being robbed or beaten or having their more diligent workers harrassed on the job, which are things Blacks almost always do when they are made part of the labor pool.

So Blacks (with lots of organizational help from Jews who use Blacks as social battering rams) lobbied the government to meddle in the labor market, and the government responded with laws that artificially inflate the value of the Black worker by levying a fine (or some other punishment) upon employers who do not hire a minimum number of Blacks.

The employers did their calculations and found that they were, all things considered, well advised to put up with a certain amount of Black thievery, Black corruption, Black indolence, and Black violence, since the price of paying all those fines would be even more expensive than hiring the neggars.

Now, it is true that other minorities (and women, even though women are not a minority) are required to be hired in some proportion. But no other minority has a track record for stupidity and violence such that Blacks have, and there's only a few jobs - such as firefighter - that require strength that most women just don't have.

(Maybe you remember the video shown by Rush Limbaugh of female firefighter cadets trying, trying, trying... and failing, failing, failing to climb a wall on a training camp obstacle course.)

But the reason for women to stay at home isn't that women (per se) can't do jobs. Rather, the reason is that only women can do one particular and very important job that men cannot do: have babies. If women don't do that job, the race dies. It can continue forever without female firefighters or female cops, but it will become extinct after the very first generation in which there are no female mothers. Women must do THAT job, even if they had conflicting career ambitions, because what use is success if, a generation or two later, your race has vanished and no one even remembers your name?

I've been playing videogames since before the Atari 2600 days. I had a C64, I had a Sega Genesis, the 16 bit Nintendo, a Playstation 1 and 2, and now I stick mostly with PC games. But I have very few friends, and haven't had a gf in like forever. Are there others like me out there?

I notice that in America when an African American male is married to a white woman everyone is like, "O my God did you see, she is with a Black Guy." In Brazil, if a Black man is married to a white woman, it's no big deal. They are just a normal couple. Also, Americans are always trying to put a label on someone. For example, when one of my Brazilian friends who is Brown skinned talks to Americans, the Americans would ask if he is Mexican. He doesn't get offended because he knowns that Mexican people are hard working. Why is America so concerned with race??? Also, I have been discriminated because of my half Mexican background even though my father is Italian American.
