Some People Just Never Learn

Iddo Genuth writes "German scientists recently showed what many of us suspected but could not prove — some people just don't learn. The German researchers have found a genetic factor that affects our ability to learn from our errors. The scientists demonstrated that men carrying the A1 mutation are less successful at learning to avoid mistakes than men who do not carry this genetic mutation. This finding has the potential to improve our understanding of the causes of addictive and compulsive behaviors."

    didn't the Germans make a strong effort for solid ground in eugenics in say... WW2 ?

    Don't need to go into why

    Why not? DO go into why! I mean, they were as nasty as the nazis, just check their own holy book. They were conquering, murderous savages, that's why everyone hated them! The difference is that nazism, as a culture, was pretty much eliminated. So Germany is pretty much mentally sound now. The evil was not in the genes, it was the culture.

    But judaism -- with their genocidal, blood-thirsty, genitally mutilating deity -- is still accepted, even respected. Why? Well, FUCK THAT SHIT. There is NO essential difference between Torah and Mein Kampf, they're both a bunch of crazy, hateful, dangerous tales.

    "Jews" would be much better off without judaism (that is, turned atheists), just like Germany is better off without nazism.

    I think you totally missed the point of his question.

    He was asking why with an idiot Republican president in charge aren't the smart people leaving the US. Those smart people would be the Liberals.

    You responded with basically "Well there's still hope we'll beat the socialists (Liberals) and even if the socialists win the US is still a great place to be."

    Thus your entire response makes no sense to the question asked. Liberals wouldn't want to leave if the liberals were already running the White House. They want to leave because of the current republican administration which is already closer to your what I perceive to be libertarian values than any liberal president would be.
