Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    The Mismeasure of Man



    The Mismeasure of Man, Stephen Jay Gould's masterful demolition of the IQ industry, should be required reading. Gould's brilliant, funny, engaging prose dissects the motivations behind those who would judge intelligence, and hence worth, by cranial size, convolutions, or score on extremely narrow tests. How did scientists decide that intelligence was unipolar and quantifiable, and why did the standard keep changing over time?

    The revised edition includes a scathing critique of Herrnstein and Murray's The Bell Curve, taking them to task for rehashing old arguments...

    From a reader review:

    He argues that the mistake of researchers in this field right from the beginning has been the belief that intellectual capacity is a fixed measureable quality that follows inevitably from one's heritage. The white European males who started this line of inquiry naturally saw themselves as fine exemplars of intelligence and a worthy standard of comparison. Therefore, results that favored other racial groups and women were invalidated, finagled, or explained away

    Yet it's interesting why intelligence always seems to show that Asians have the highest IQ, followed by whites intermediate, and blacks at the end of the spectrum. This would also correspond to the civilization differences and advances throughout history.

      What you should be exploring are what are his hidden motives in espoucing such and such an opinion or cause. What is he planning to get out of it? What is his end goal? Block that, and you hurt him. But beware, without knowing what his goal is are you perhaps inadvertantly advancing his attainment of that goal?

      Or maybe all he really wants is just to pick an argument with you - in which case, enjoy attacking him.

        Believe me, I enjoy it all the time. Just counting the number of spelling mistakes, run on sentences, and sentence framents he makes when responding to me makes me feel good knowing how much I frustrate him and make him angry - my views that is. And that is the most amusing thing about our winocreature.

          Well rat - it was you who posted all of these arguments from evolutionary biologists in the first place...

          And I pretty much stuck with Cavalli-Sforza's own words - not the admittedly racist reviewer whose review I discount as they add nothing. Of course Cavalli-Sforza uses commonly heald racial distinctions in his presentation - because this is what people comonly use and can relate to - thus it is a matter of convinient catagoriztion to get a point accross - and that point is that the variations among genomes do not follow a strictly racial pattern - and for anyone who understands how these mutations come about this should be obvious as (commonly used categories of) racial groups tend to be spread accross differetn environments. Genetic mutation is a response to environment (or allows advantages in the environment that one finds oneself in - etc) - and we also see geographic distributions. Of course many of these will correspond to the (skin deep etc) racial groups as these groups have tended hitorically to live in some differetn geographic reagions - but we also see genetic drift in various swaths accross these populations that has no direct racial (comman ussage) correlation - to the point that no clear cut racial lines can truly be drawn.

          And you really go out of your way to attemtp to put words in my moth to disporve a point I did not make. i already explained my positions enough times - and you really couldn't refute it - so you are trying to just twist my words to make it as if I said something different - I never said "greater" ...

          yawn - I mistype and mispell as I try to keep the time I devote to answering your BS (and most chat like this in forums of this sort) to a minimum - thus I type it up on the fly and let it go at that - I really can't be bothered to craft up anything really serious and time consuming. And besides I am an incredibly poor speller and I don't type all that well either - so you will just have to suffer with it....

          I'm still laughing at your blunders relying and linking to EVOLUTIONISTS! to attempt to make your points...hahahahaha - I'm waiting for you to post links to your true racist creationist origins of your position...unless of course you are willing to admit that your concept of race, biology and genetics is in fact based on that of EVOLUTIONISTS (which it fact it can hardly be otherwise....hahahahahaha...)

              See here you are espousing concepts of superiority of one group over another.

              IQ tests are known to essentially be bogus. And I cannot fathom your standard in any event - that Asians have "superior" civilization advances in history...which Asians BTW - are those from Persia the same as those from China - all grouped as "Asians" because they live in Asia? Where do you draw the line? (don't bother answering I'm really not the least bit interested in your frothing at the mouth answer - it is entirely of no consequence to me - as is this entire question of supposed IQ differences among major populations or what have you - I entirely fail to see what relevence any of it has - I have no need to associate myself to validate myself - unlike your clear need for such...

                You see - you might have just given him one of those inadvertent advancements.
                Its not just You-vs-Him. There is also the audience he is pitching for influence over. He now appears appealing to all the bad or lazy spellers! Maybe his bad spelling is intentional.

                    Citing facts of racial differences is mutually exclusive from evolutionary biology. That just happens to be a method of explaining how we arrived, not necessarily truth.

                    That supposedly the different races evolved out of environment is again an assumption. There is nothing that suggests this to be truth. It is a conjecture, like everything else in evolution. It has not, cannot, and will never be verified.

                    You keep clinging on to the 'variation within the group' excuse like a baby clings on to his mothers teat. It seems neither of you are separable. Insisting and reusing an already discredited, and what is more, a manipulative tactic (measuring gene frequences that help your cause and ignoring others), doesn't make your case any more valid, although, in the delusion confines of your mind, it certainly makes you seem validated, but only to yourself, so I guess whatever method of self-appeasement works.

                    That is not the point, you are obviously caught in an error you now wish you did not make, and this is simply winoman, trying to be winoman and weasel his way out.

                    Look at how winoman is justifying himself. Why should anyone justify themselves to anyone, and on the internet for that matter, especially to someone who they loathe and hate and whose existence they find a waste? Apparently he values what I think of him.

                    Non sequitur but always emotional. That is the way winoman is.

                      Just like different individuals are superior in somethings over others, so two different groups of people. You don't have to like it.

                      IQ tests test intelligence. It's quite simple. The nerfbrains such as you, and the whiners don't have to like it. Of course, it's your egalitarian pastime to yell, whine and complain about how "racist" IQ tests are, but in the end, it's always those that underperform, and underscore, and want to make excuses of why they haven't gotten their act together hundreds of years later.
