    Well, yes. The Chinese have come up with some brilliant inventions. I won't argue with that. But what I am saying is that races exist and was using the idea of technological evolution as an example. It doesn't hurt me one bit to talk about it. I call 'em like I see 'em.

    The Russians are of the same race as I am, but they are of Slavic descent and I am primarily of Alpine Germanic descent. I consider walking on the moon a more impressive feat than launching a satellite, given the time-frames. What you mean by isolationist is quite vague.

    Thanks for not calling me a Nazi. That label applies (accurately) only to those who were National Socialists in German territory before the end of WWII. I don't need to map out an entire genotype for you to see who is better at conceptualizing an idea or working on an abstract theory. History and IQ tests (you know, a bunch of abstract shapes on a piece of paper) can show you that.

    We created the tools (necessity is the mother of invention, right? Where do you think they came from?), and were motivated because we had to. Those who didn't died in the process. It's called evolution, and the most marked reason why we are different from other races.

    Actually, I grew up in a predominantly Black neghborhood. It was the fact that I had to actually live with them and interact with them for most of my 24 years that made me realize that they were indeed fundamentally different than myself.

    Saying things like "Racism is based on ignorance" without a thorough explanation will get you nowhere, and actually is flamebait.

    Much older than any "peace-sign" (which is in fact, an inverted life rune, used to mark death and destruction for centuries by European civilizations), the life rune is one of many ancient runes used by Anglos, Saxons, Celts, Ugrics and many other Europeans for perhaps thousands of years. We have direct evidence of it being used for over a 1.5K years now.

    Hi shilly. Since you responded to me in such a way, I'll respond in kind. You _seem_ genuinely interested in what I meant.

    The definition of race is quite malleable. We all know this. We could say that the basic categories of caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid and australoid exist, and would be quite accurate (but for bone struture only). But the problem is that variations of each of these races exist, as do combinations of them. This creates a hazy line between one and another. I know this. Every biologist knows this. Still, it does not compromise my position.

    Races are distinguished by the frequency with which alleles manifest themselves in the phenotype. That is, what is "expressed" by ones genes. For example: Can blue eyes be said to be a chracteristic of the Aryan, or European, race if while 30% of it's population expresses that trait, .0001% of the Negroe race expresses the same? Of course you can. Even though there might be more differences within races than between them, that isn't important.

    While variation exists within groups, the important thing to remember is the average difference. Perhaps this is an inflammatory example (Sorry if it is). If a population of 1 million nerps (fictional creatures) exist and 80 % of them have an IQ of >100, but a few of them are extremely dull, and have an IQ of Surely it can be said that they differ from a population of 1 million perns, 80 % of which have an IQ of 110.

    This can therefore be considered a racial characteristic.

    (That should answer your within group variation question as well)

    The most consistent way to classify races is by bone structure. In itself, this is a far more complicated area than simple eye color, but the idea is the same. Caucasians are not entirely white. Caucasians include Indians, Arabs and other Semitic peoples as well. Further analysis includes blood characteristics (Arabs and Semites are prone to getting sickle-cell anemia because of these differences, but the remaining Caucasians do not), and other methods. But the most efficient way is by appearance. The majority of characteristics which mark the differences between the races are summed up fairly accurately this way.

    Yes, I understand the implications of this. Basically, it is my position that we should use our biological resources to improve the quality of humans born onto this earth, much the same as those who want to eradicate genetic diseases. That is the implication.

    National Socialism is the application of the laws of nature to politics. Sorry if there are any typos, but I'm quite pressed for time today.

    Why wouldn't Simon want anyone to read these books? Is he afraid of the ideas which might come into one's mind if they do? Perhaps, like, race matters or something? Shouldn't he be holding these books up as an example of racist thought and just how easy it is to tear down that philosophy?

    Simon actually asked those bookstores to deny people access to these works which are currently offered? Wow. Talk about being a hypocrite.

    aren't the ones proposing limits on what political ideas people are allowed to express. There exists a cohesive group of people, a nation if you will, which is able to effectively steer public opinion, and therefore (in a democracy) the government's policies on these issues. I mean government at every level, including the UN.

    Think about it. Who gains?

    This isn't threatening anyone, but expressing an opinion about the state of French society. But this is illegal. That, my friend, is exactly what is disgusting about your system.

    in that, yes, I believe the biological quality of those who make up a society has a direct impact on the nature of that society. Culture is important as well, but you can't trick 1 million lions into thinking they're tigers by changing their culture (Even though they can be bred, and produce "Ligers" given the right psychological conditioning. Much like the differing races of humans). Race (sub-species as a taxonomic classification) is and always has been important. To say otherwise, or claim that every featherless biped on this planet is equal to every other such animal is pure idiocy. Look around you. Do you think the world has developed with such varying discrepancies in the level of technology attained by the various races for no reason?

    A Stealth Bomber isn't made to fly by metal and fuel, and that's not the way man walked on the moon either. It's Biochemistry which produces such wonders. A product of biology, of race.

    William Shockley (who co-invented the transistor, for my fellow geeks) believed the same thing and lectured about it at Stanford university until his death. Darwin, Galton, C.G. Jung, and many others also to name a few. These men were not stupid. Rather, they were not hindered by a society which produces a knee-jerk reaction to hearing the word "racist."

    The culture in which we live is influenced in almost every way by the television. My organization, the National Alliance, would argue that this television dreamworld in which race doesn't matter/exist isn't a reality, and never has been. History shows us that.
