Don't take this the wrong way, but wouldn't it be accurate, then, to say you care nothing for your country? As long as you're fine, to hell with the rest of the plebs. (I mean, caring about those poor bastards would be 'collectivist', right, and we can't have that.) Well, there are plenty of people who feel as you do. Probably first among them today's captains of industry. If they can flood the country with cheap labor (with no thought as to the effect such people will have on society), get their stock options and retreat into a gated compound, it's all fine by them. Would you feel as nonchalant if Israel was being flooded by cheap Arabs? Or if a Labor government took power and decreed the Pal refugees (including their offspring) be allowed to return?

"Sure, one way of improving the gene pool would be to simply exterminate the lower classes, but get real, not even Hitler advocated that." There is no evidence that I know of that exterminating the "lower class" improves the gene pool. Not even Hitler advocated that, but you seem to.... Man oh man!
What a foolish comment. I can't believe how unfounded in any type of logic your arguments actually are. Kids grow up gravitating to the sporting events that their culture supports. Soccer is not a cultural sport in America, probably never will be. It is not a black or white thing, it is a neighborhood thing. Those who grew up with the major American sports, basketball-baseball-football raise their children while watching those sports...not turning the channel to watch a soccer match. Kids emulate their parents, go for the sports that are considered cool in school and most likely to get the "chicks" and are played in the neighborhood. I wager most Americans view a sport where you can't use your hands to play it as squirrely...we have this thing about hand eye coordination being important in sports...not foot eye coordination. Besides, how often do we see a brawl on the soccer field? You see more raw violence in the stands. Americans like violent sports, physical sports, aggressive sports...not a bunch of small men in short shorts... It ain't a black or white thing, it is an American thing...
Sorry Pabst, I think the question is absurd. There is no area in any american-city that a convoy of US Marines in Hummers couldn't traverse unscathed. But, the stats clearly prove american blacks disproportionately perpetrate crimes in the US. Without any mention to cause, the Black population has been living in Depression-Like conditions for decades in this country. Albeit, Depression-Like conditions in the US would be living fat in Africa.
Hell no, RM. There's nothing there that surprises me. It's the same thing up here. When I hear of a club shooting at such and such an intersection, of course the first thing I imagine is a gang-banger with his pants down to his knees and his hats (yes, plural) on sideways popping a cap in one of his buddies because the other guy looked at his 'ho' the wrong way. 95% of the time, I'm right. White kids don't shoot each other up here, as a rule. And, I'm glad we're spending more money on the search for the genetic marker for sickle cell anemia than we are on the one for 'more likely to be able to load a handgun'.
Prof. Richard Dawkins - respected and prolific writer on evoloution -writes that in a universe governed by Darwinism (as he claims our universe to be) âsome people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you wonât find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice.â (1995, pp.132-133). Douglas Futuyma: âBy coupling undirected, purposeless variation to the blind, uncaring process of natural selection, Darwin made theological or spiritual explanations of the life processes superfluous. Together with Marxâs materialist theory of history and society and Freudâs attribution of human behaviour to influences over which we have little control, Darwinâs theory of evolution was a crucial plank in the platform of mechanism and materialism â of much of science, in short â that has since been the stage of most Western thought.â (Futuyma, 1986, p.2). Shallow or what? Anyway with that sort of worldview anything goes.
