Not everyone is the same as you.
You live in the same society, shop in the same stores, and you're not depressed, schizophrenic, rife with obsessive compulsive habits, etc.
Your assessment is that your personality and habits is entirely based off of your environment and your "willpower", which is far from the truth.
"In graduate school, genetics students typically are taught that 5 to 15 percent of the men on birth certificates are not the biological fathers of their children. In other words, as many as one of every seven men who proudly carry their newborn children out of a hospital could be a cuckold."
If that many women are cheating often enough to become pregnant, not abort, and have babies outside of their relationships, just what % of white women (especially married ones) do you think have actually cheated at least once in their life?
Many behavioral studies demonstrate consistent differences in behavior, personalities, and predispositions among the three major genetic groups. No one ever talks about these studies because they're politically incorrect, but they're available to read if you actively seek them out.
Your beliefs about "equality" of gender are inherently flawed, as any rational and objective person could cite inherent inequalities in the Western law system that favors women over men. I'm sure it's fun to declare the status quo of thousands of years of cultural and biological evolution as defunct, but it's merely an egoistic exercise in Western arrogance.
Democracy is itself a specifically limited form of government that pits various groups against each other, compromising the effectiveness and ideals of all the groups. Ultimately in the long run the irrational chaotic immorality of the masses comes to dominate the political subculture, maiming those few truly idealistic people.
Many Asians, especially those not subject to modern Western cultural imperialism, aren't even comfortable with such a notion as a people-run government. Even in democracies such as Japan, the power and scope of government and the trust of people in the government to run their lives is far greater than in Western nations.
It's very difficult to understand why the birth rate is so low though.
In my opinion once the population drops to critically low levels the government will go all militant style and trash all the post-WWII changes that have contributed to the declining birth rate. We're talking banning women from work and requiring families have at least 3 children. Considering the nature of this article, it's not hard to see the government going that far.
Yes well, it's good to know that you think the loss of a unique culture is a benefit to the world. Simply because they don't follow what you believe to be right and wrong (politically correct) in this modern day and age, it's better than their old traditions fade away.
I'm sure you'd like all the races to intermingle and form one bland homogenous race too, right? That would explain the "I want a Japanese girlfriend" T-shirt. You think the differences are merely cultural?
How about the study demonstrating 3 distinct world-wide genetic groups? How about studies demonstrating consistent differences among those groups in various personality and cultural attributes across the world?
Let me put it this way. White women will cheat on you at some point with certainty. Whether you're at war or at some day job. An Asian woman will appreciate even the smallest things you provide her and always be faithful. Exceptions exist, but in general this holds true.
So screw you and your neo imperialistic attitude.
I agree, and I'm actually astonished to find someone voice this opinion on Slashdot. Very few people in the West decry the internationalization (really Westernization) of cultures in the East and Middle East. Whether it's "women's rights" or "Hollywood", every thing they follow they believe to be the absolute truth and must be shoved down the throats of other nations' cultures through social programs and foreign businesses.
I hope anti-government deregulation fanatics read articles like this to understand the benefits of proper government regulation.
Unfortunately, I suspect they'll find a way to misinterpret it, as all party zealots do.
If this is what happens when Steve Jobs is absent from Apple for 6 months, I shudder to think what will happen when he's permanently gone.
As arrogant and bone-headed as Apple can seem sometimes, there's no doubt it's lead extremely well.
If video responses with their "price of admission" were this bad, can you imagine how inane and disgustingly unintelligent text comments would be?
Their video limitation was a good idea IMO.
That's very disturbing. It sounds imperialistic, on the level of Alexander the Great. A lot of people value their racial and cultural and uniqueness, and would be extremely disappointed at the prospect of losing that due to Western ideas of "mixing".
You need to take a class on human intelligence. There are a lot of things about different races held out of university classes because they're "politically incorrect".
Great. So basically all you care about is yourself and your kids. If one of your kids ends up screwed up, depressed, schizophrenic, etc. then I guess you'll kick them to the curb too won't you?
Dude, why would anyone need more than $250k? Doctors spend their entire careers taking care of people, and you think one mistake should allow a patient to permanently bankrupt them and ruin their careers?
My mother was sued for a patient who killed himself under her care. Since she's a psychiatrist and the guy was insane and smacked his head against a room's wall until he bled to death (while under someone else's scheduled watch), it wasn't her fault at all. But if the patient's family had won the suit, if the jury hadn't fully understood the situation and awarded them wrongly, my family would have had to pay them almost $2 million. Where the devil would we get that money (no malpractice insurance)? My life, my parents' lives...it would all be ruined. We would end up living in poverty, endlessly paying money to a family that would sit back, quit their jobs, and enjoy themselves because they wouldn't have to worry anymore about their crazy suicidal mentally retarded son.
I'm sure it's hard to feel bad for a "super rich" doctor, but despite their salaries doctors can't possibly afford the kind of money that patients want.
250k is *hardly* strict. Even that amount I personally feel is too much.
10 GB/month is reasonable? Lol? You really have been brainwashed haven't you.
In Japan the only ISP I've ever heard even daring to implement caps instituted 30GB per DAY caps. I wonder how long that will last considering the massive competition they face.
Content with caps, eh? Tell that to Canadians, and the increasingly angry population that is realizing how much their ISPs are screwing them over with caps and throttling.
Because the cost of maintaining a network is negligible once the lines and equipment have been purchased and laid down. Heavy users don't cost the ISP anything more than light users.
Also there's no way to know what "reasonable" is, since there is no transparency of the ISPs real costs. None of them have ever released any real data to the public.

It's nice to know the people being paid to do their jobs are a little faster than those who do it for free, eh?

So...the entire Orient is a 'few cultures'? Also India, Pakistan, most Middle Eastern cultures.

"Catching up"? With you and your culture? Maybe yours is the one behind and the Japanese are ahead?

Why is he labeled a troll for pointing out statistical facts?
Your paranoia can actually be explained scientifically these days. It's quite fascinating.
I love that word, kerfuffle. I'm going to say it to everyone from now on. Your kerfuffle is annoying. Don't kerfuffle my korn flakes!
Might have to do with the fact that blacks have a significantly lower IQ than all other races.
But I bet she could live without you!

What will you do if you're wrong?
Except for the nasty gay reference (why...?) that was well-written.
