Cohn said one killer put a pistol to his head but did not shoot him. Instead, he said, the shooter turned his attention to a black student, saying, ``I hate niggers.'' Cohn heard three shots but couldn't see what happened.
One of the most disturbing (to me) implications of explaining much of human behaviour through evolution is that racism is probably an evolutionary advantage for genes. People who look like you are more likely to have similar genes to you than those who don't. So killing those who don't look like you, once your niche is established, may work out to be advantageous for your genetic survival.
Right. What you've said was one of the most disturbing things I felt when reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. I think that type of backwards thinking is a vestige of "inclusive fitness" that Dawkins talks about.
Of course as an advanced society we should have evolved beyond that...
Yes I would...as long as he butts out too. The government needs to just leave the internet alone, and if Al Gore could censor and control it, he would.
The government created the internet...and is funding InternetII.
I've heard nothing from Al Gore about censorship. That sounds unlikely...

It's the article titled

I keep hearing that these kids were supposedly
"intelligent". From what I've read they were
Neo-Nazi losers.
In an AP article on yahoo; one one of them was quoted saying "I hate niggers" before firing his gun.
Intelligent? No.

I think we should declare that any use of the
word definitely be spelt "definately"!
It makes me laugh when I see it spelt definately.
This happens so often it's hilarious.
I believe this is Bruce Perens problem with the IBM Jikes license as well.
of course I'm not the lawyer, and someone else can decode the license better than I can.
That's what I was wondering abut
I hope it's a cheap 4MB card that's good at
2d. 3d isn't important except for FPS games...
It looks very decent; from what I've read
so far;
-300mhz Cyrix MII
=3.2 Gig hardrive ( my hardrive is less than 3 gigs)
Rent Das Boot; from what I've read Wing Commander is based on the WWII submarine movie.
Sonar doesn't work in space apparently...
