I think it advisable to cease all discussions where comparisons of white and black IQ’s are made. It doesnt matter the scientific intentions these questions start with, what matters is it will end with the public demonizing a section of science which will eventually yield results that reduce human misery. Just two cents from a lowly idle speculator.

The passion of the Mohammedans. These guys mean business. Some years ago Martin Peretz called Islam “a religion with teeth.” He was reviled. He was right.

I’ve always been an atheist who’s mildly pro-religion; mainly because I saw my mother’s Christianity giving her support during her battle with cancer. However, nowadays, I’m not so sure anymore. Religiosity can be toxic. Of course, religion is too much part of human experience to ever disappear, but fighting against the literalists and extremists is something we simply must learn to do — forcefully.

I believe the Egyptian autorities lock up ther extremists; the more I learn about the latter, the more I think I can’t blame the former.

Re: Swedish Cartoonist Assaulted
Yikes. Very scary, though most of the people there were just sitting or standing around with a deer-in-the-headlights expression.

Ironically, as I as watching the video there was an advertisement scrolling along the bottom saying “Learn to be a cartoonist in Canada at CSI” , or something like that.

Here’s a very quick (but perhaps not terribly good) analogy for the Neandertal fraction.
A corporation says:
“98% of our cash is in US dollars”
“4% of our cash came from consulting”
No paradox here.
