You can say that about blacks (esp males): they're more risky. Just because you're not supposed to look at those actuarial tables, doesn't mean it's not a statistical reality.

Question: What was the percentage of blacks and/or women at Lotus notes when Mitch sold? How many low-income/minority households is Mitch within walking distance of from his Berkeley compound? Diversity for thee, but not for me. A

The genetic term is non-zero. It discomfits, I know. But that doesn't make it less true.

If testosterone has nothing to do with incarceration rates, what mechanism do you propose for why men are in jail at much higher rates than women? (Structural) sexism? Poverty? Poor fashion sensibilities?

The problem is, a substantial (and potentially growing) segment of the population doesn't agree with you. If racism is _the_ problem, why does it produce perfectly antipodal outcomes for different "people of color"? i.e. Asia

I would be genuinely interested in a rebuttal to elevated testosterone levels (the linked National Cancer Institute abstract). I almost always provide links to sources that provide a reasonably analytic angle. They are generally ignored or

1) men commit violent crime at much higher rates than women. Why? 2) sexism? stupidity? Or perhaps "being male" (higher testosterone levels) 3) males who self-identify as black have about 15% more testoterone (courtesy of that rac

Not unlike the lottery, which the poor regularly spent their meager pittance on. Taxation of the poor as Lincoln noted. So can be ban lotteries (and casinos, too) unless participants demonstrate they can afford the losses?

Can we dispense with "minority" and "people of color" when we're talking really about blacks and to a lesser extent hispanics? This kind of intellectual forgery is why the left (and it's prescriptions) are incr

Seconding this since it's getting short shrift here among all the talk about Rippentoe and Getting Big. Took a substantial pay cut in large part to avoid the soul killing commute and to be able to bicycle to work (~9 mi one way). Proba

Some hippies called for a halt to splitting the atom. You know how that story went. Good luck with this one. What's more, those who can, do. Those who can't make themselves insufferable to others.
