Oh do you mean the gene that is as prevalent amongst the famously uncriminal Japanese as it is amongst African Americans?
> Lack of sufficient testosterone causes osteoperosis, cognitive problems, fatigue, anemia, memory problems, hot flashes, and many other symptoms in men. It's essential for men's overall health and cannot be clearly disentangled from this role.
I don't know, maybe those criminal men would be better with osteoperosis, cognitive problems, fatigue, anemia, memory problems and hot flashes than without, don't you think?
I personally don't think so.

- neurobama 3y agoI engaged primarily in arguments of fact. I did my best to cite sources and outline rational arguments. I was immediately condescended to, insulted, and slandered as racist and a liar. I admit I got testy in response, but you can see that I didn't fire first and was repeatedly provoked. None of the others users involved appear to have been silenced or banned. This isn't just some academic comments section argument, it affects real policy and real people and real lives. Where on the whole Internet is open and honest discussion of this subject, who commits crime in America and why, permitted? Not Facebook, Reddit, very soon likely not Twitter. I had hoped HN of all places would be one such forum. I see now I was wrong. Your biased moderation is noted and a great disappointed.
- dang 3y agoI responded to the other user I saw who was breaking the site guidelines in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35957674 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35957674. If there were others, I didn't see them—I didn't read the entire thread. It's impossible to read everything. I didn't ban the other account because when I looked at their comment history I saw a track record of mostly using HN as intended.
