So again, you quote a conflict in which colonists allied with some natives against others. Then you just assert 'The only possible reason that there are not so many Mestizos is because of X.' It's the exact same shoddy argument you made before, just out for another round of BS. You've proven...

No 'I assert this' is not 'proof enough.' If we're going to argue at the level of 'I say so, therefore it is,' then I have a simple counter-argument: You're wrong. There. I win the argument. Now either get some real evidence and argumentation, or admit you're just pushing a line of propaganda...

So you reference a conflict in which some tribes allied with the English, some with the Dutch, and there was a war. The Pequot lost, and some of their civilians were massacred when that particular settlement was razed. That's terrible. It's also not genocide. It's also not even close to...

You're still doing nothing but making assertions. Show some proof.

There are easy answers to questions like this, but frankly, I'm tired of you playing burden of proof games about genocide. You have yet to present any proof whatsoever that genocide against the major east coast tribes was committed. Until you present some bloody evidence, your claims can simply...

Aye. To what level biology is deterministic, there is no need for law about it. Physical limitations will enforce their effects for themselves.

I don't see anybody in here arguing biology doesn't have an impact, or ignoring it. Biology is an influence, it isn't deterministic, excepting for some outlying cases (5'2" people are not going to be star NFL players, with near-total certainty).

You're talking past me here. "Far more" is not saying "biology has nothing to do with it." You can take people from the same ethnic group biologically, and get extremely different results from them based on culture and personal decisions. The extreme example is identical twins and their...

Except 'fitness' has far more to do with culture and people's decisions than it does with innate physiology. Even physiology is heavily dependent upon culture and people's decisions. Darwinism presumes biological basis for fitness.

You are demonstrating ignorance. During the Cold War, it was strategically crucial to keep the USSR from gaining control of the region and gaining a chokehold on the world's oil supply. Part of Iran's antipathy towards the US comes from our involvement in that era. In the 90's and 2000's...

Turkey is a NATO ally on paper only at this point, are trying to become regional hegemon, and are a lot friendlier to Russia than we'd like. Egypt is unstable, and it's anyone's guess what things there will look like ten years from now. And Iran being irrelevant is nothing but an unsupported...

Wrong, and wrong. Sure, there are people who are interested in supporting Israel for non America-centric reasons. I'm not claiming that's untrue, I'm claiming that is not the only reason. The fact that some people have other motivations does not change the fact that there is strategic utility...

Nonsense. There's a lot of strategic interest both in having a regional ally, and more pragmatically, in having a different target for the Islamic terrorists to spend their attention and money on. There are so many problems in the US that the US doesn't have to deal with, because the Israelis...

I don't recall seeing anyone here calling for genocide. I see one person saying they'd be fine with Israel taking all Palestinian-held territory and driving the Palestinians out once and for all. And another saying he wouldn't care if Palestine is destroyed. I'm guessing this is what you saw...

I did not say that you thought there was something wrong with those jobs. What I was saying, is that conservatives at large have never thought 'pulling yourself up by your bootstraps' was going to turn everyone into a millionaire. We've thought that it could get 99% of people to healthy, stable...

Yes. Actual Conservatives have always known that there are practical limitations on how far you're going to get. However, we also consider 'manager at a restaurant,' 'skilled craftsman,' or 'average white-collar worker' to be perfectly acceptable careers to have, and 99% of people can go that...

The GOP has an image problem with minorities because the Democrats have been lying about them with full support of the (Democrat) media ever since they realized that racism wasn't cool anymore. No amount of pandering can reverse this problem. The only thing that will help is improving...

So the information from Hunter's laptop has not convinced you not to vote for Biden?
