Oh fuck off.

I'm tired of your bullshit.

I'd address anything worthwhile, if I didn't have to wade through your horseshit oblique and not-so-oblique insults. You seem incapable of having a discussion without making it about insults, snark and snot-nosed comments.

Fuck off with yo bad self.
Weak as piss. You have a track record of making outlandish claims and then slinking off to some other part of the internet and avoiding addressing rebuttals. You are failing, yet again, with your ridiculous broad-brush strokes tarring "the left" or "progressives" due to the actions of a noisy minority. Show some reasoning abilities in your posts and you might not get called on your bullshit so often.
Fuck off.
Please refer to the play nice rule before you get yourself suspended again for another two months. :bored:

This statement is technically true, but is incomplete. The statement on variability is correct when examining the frequency of different alleles (variants of a particular gene) at an individual locus (the location of a particular gene) between individuals, it is, however,s possible to classify individuals into different racial groups to almost 100% accuracy if you consider the frequency of the alleles at several loci at the same time. The frequency of given alleles tends to cluster differently for different human populations.

So, it's a nice statement, and true -- because humans only diverged, say, 50 or 100,000 years ago, or so, give or take, out of Africa. But, that doesn't mean that there aren't biological races, as distinct from pure "social construct" races.

I'm not going to get into a debate about this with you, as debating you is a pointless exercise. But science and pretty much everyone else disagrees with you - https://www.google.com.au/#q=is+there+s ... gical+race

There are some minor biological elements to the rather fuzzy concept of race, mixed with social elements. Those biological elements are unimportant in the scheme of things...

Hate speech, WTF. Unless this is due to the forum being based in the UK, then I understand.

Probably best using the term ethnicity as you pointed out race is an ill-defined term.

What political implications might a conservative be wary of in regard to the topic of the benefits of social media?
The issue is that conservatives will not expect there to be any reliable, objective data on "the benefits of social media" -- such as proving it beneficial or harmful one way or the other. Conservatives are also less likely to be adopters of new things, so a liberal will be more pro-newer-media, like social media, whereas a conservative would be more likely to start off with the presupposition that it isn't necessarily a good thing.

It's about presuppositions - liberals have their own, but this study seems to focus on the areas where conservatives have certain presuppositions. However, if you picked some other topics, where liberals or leftists have some presuppositions, they'll also be resistant to new data.

Have you ever had a discussion with a lefty person about Monsanto or GMOs? They reject the mountains upon mountains of data that prove GMOs safe and reliable - at least as safe as non-GMO food - with not a shred of evidence of any negative effects attributable to GMOs, but they still hang on to their "frankenfood" nonsense.

I'm not saying the lefties are worse, not by any means. They just have their own biases and resistances.
Those GMOs have residual round up.
Monsanto crops need round up, usually. They need both weed and insect controk. Unless they have bt toxin, a protein.
Round up now carcinogen in CA. Since the EPA is no longer functional.
