I think it is ridiculous to believe that people who evolved in completely different parts of the world all would be exactly the same. If you look around, it's clear that some races are better at some things than others, I won't get into them though, we all know them. It's also clear by simply the way we look, from the proportions of some body parts to others, to the way we build muscle, we are all different, and you're a brainwashed idiot if you think we're not. Why is research that attempts to show this considered racist? If we have obvious visual differences, why can't we have mental and biological differences? Why is society so sensitive to this subject?

because some idiots believe that perfection is everything and try to apply this falsely-implied concept to everything and everyone around them, not realzing that it's wrong to force your beliefs on others. therefore, they frown upon what is different from what they believe is perfect...
i dont know about you, but i hate ppl like that...

Because, while everyone is "different", we all have "equal" value. I am not brainwashed, nor am I an idiot. I have need, however, to feel superior to anyone. I accept that without the existence of one human in our global population, the energy would be different. I also do not believe that society is sensitive regarding this issue. I do interpret, from the presentation of the data you are using to defend the concept of how superior you feel, that you are really insecure, and small minded, and perhaps ignorant as well. I do believe that reproduction should result from conscious decision that involves variables that include inheritable neurological possibility that will be dominant because of the existence in the ancestral background of both parents, the wisdom of choosing to not reproduce, if this possibility is very likely, the wisdom of adoption if the couple have the desire to parent, and just plain good judgment. I agree with you, that there are representatives of our global species that do possess both mental and physical characteristics that provide conditions that seriously inhibit their abilities, but these members have a potential to achieve enormous spiritual wisdom because of how they address the process of being so intensely compromised. So, perhaps it would give you a new concept of equal value if you look at the positives instead of focusing on how unnecessary some of us are.

The problem is where to draw the line... reviewing your own comments, you suggest that some races are better at some things than others, which suggest that the entire race is somehow better than another race at doing something ? Would you like to give an example where that is actually the case ? That race may on average happen to be better, but making stereotypes like you did without proof is generally a bad idea...
I happen to agree in some cases where statistically it can be shown that you are making your opinion on facts not just bias towards another race... but that is rarely the case for most stereotypes. Is the end result to benefit the entire populace somehow with that knowledge or to persecute one particular race ? Even something positive as a stereotype can be used in a negative manner, so we need to be very careful in what is permitted...
We are not all equal; but we should all under the law be given the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise...

You are right. No two people can be equal in behavior, character and way they respond to a situation. Twins can be alike physically but mentally they too are different. People who do not accept it, learn this hard way.

we are all CREATED equal, is how the saying goes.
sure, every race, and individual has differences.. but that doesn't make them a better or worse person.... at least, not to me.
i don't care what society thinks. i base my world using my best judgement and the brain with which i was born.
try using yours.

It is a misnomer to say that all people are created equal. That would mean that all people are exactly the same, with the same DNA. It would be more correct say that all people are equivalent to each other.

You're going to have to ask God that question because there isn't anyone here who could answer you satisfactorily.
