I correctly described the situation. I think it's ugly too. Do you have a fix? Because that's what we need, a fix, not cheap moralizing. Moralizing doesn't save anyone from gangrene and sepsis and a slow death. It doesn'

Antibiotic resistance shows up among the unhealthiest communities first. They act as the necessary incubators that resistance needs to develop. In a person with a working immune system, the time frame of antibiotic and pathogen contact is v

Except for deaf children, who seem to fall along the same IQ distribution as hearing children. And rich children seem to inherit their parents IQs instead of their Guatemalan nannies' IQs. But feel free to go on believing that genes do

No worries, the government subsidizes the living arrangements of the lower classes so that they can continue to live and breed in pathological concentrations in expensive cities. The supply of people to mug/rape you is still higher tha

No it doesn't. I've been poor. There is no 1 standard deviation IQ penalty. "The finding further undercuts the theory that poor people, through inherent weakness, are responsible for their own poverty..." Again, no. The

Please delete your above comment. It's derogatory and wrong. In fact, I believe the following: There are a great many intelligent black people. Christians in America's underclass are just as likely to cohabit without marriage as n

That is certainly a possibility. Unless that customer comes from a state with privately run DMVs, and is used to a 5 minute wait without scheduling. Further, it may be that that customer has been greatly impressed by the efficiency and weal

I use the DMV in Redwood City, CA, and efficiency is not my experience there. They have the worker pool model as well. The last time I was there, I was unfortunate to be in the pool with the worker who could barely type. He processed 2-3 cu

Smart white guy gets locked up, manages to make something of himself once his hormones cool off over the course of a few years. This is not rare. Nor is it something you can apply to the general prison population. I.e., think of what the ra

Whether or not you are convinced is your business. It took me years of hard living to learn from my mistakes. If you can learn the same lessons some easier way, or if you need to take a harder route, it's all one to me.

Danno likely meant "cornpone," a word that connotes 'rural Southern' when used of opinions. The rural South is not usually associated with the idea that people want sex to have meaning, and that this is often transient w

The world is full of women offering sex-on-demand. At very reasonable rates. Edit: The great Michel Houellebecq's Platform, a novel of a travel company that revolutionizes the industry by promoting sex tourism, is a recommended read.

Sure, that could be possible. However there are some issues: 1) Obesity isn't a disease of the rich. So the "cheapness" doesn't seem to be an obvious factor. This is in contrast to the 1600s and 1700s when obesity and go
