Except that studies of twins raised apart[1] calculate statistical IQ heritability in the range of 70% or more. Perhaps even more surprising, for the field of Psychology at least[2], these findings appear to be replicated across studies. Ev

Oh please! Forgive us for not taking seriously the ideas, on this subject, of a country that arrested and tried, multiple times, an elected parliamentarian for the recitation of plain facts about criminal arrest statistics within the countr

Where did you learn they were fake people? The article doesn't say it. The article definitely says they contacted several of these "fake people." Maybe they were candidates that had no intention of winning, is that what you a

Just because there have been high profile cases which fit the narrative of what you already believe doesn't mean that that is an accurate picture of reality. The data simply do not comport with the position you are advocating. Here&#x2

The economy isn't in freefall, but if it were, it would be because of statewide lockdowns. States that impose fines or take away the license to do business if they dare open. In my state, the governor forced infected elderly back into

Set aside the ethics, legality, and saneness of doping an arrestee for a moment. Anyone know if this impacts the arrested person's 5th amendment rights? Once you administer a mind altering drug against that person's will, any and

The dishonesty is presenting this as a racist thing. The dishonesty is also in the implication that insurance companies are racist rather than simply responding to the market. The article is trying to drum up outrage at well established ins

It's dishonest because non-black people in those "black neighborhoods" are also paying the "racist" premium. It's not like non-black people are paying 10% less while living on the same block and purchasing the

Crack and cocaine aren't really all that similar. Crack and meth are tho. Guess what, they both have the same mandatory mins too. When you look for racism everywhere, you find it everywhere. Let's be more objective, eh?

All the ICE workers wear pants, we should organize and boycott all manufacturers of pants. Where does it end under your rules? Seriously, how about food? Farmers need to unite!

We really ought to bring back literacy tests. They should just be applied to all voters.. Even better, you can't vote unless you can pass a US Citizenship Exam. Then we could open the voting up to all citizens regardless of age, too. W

I mean, to me "fair" would be everyone paying the same tax total, like $1k per person per year. The next level of "fair" would be everyone paying the same tax rate, like 10% of their income. Just because a tax can be sho

If Stormfront linked to HN, then HN is a Stormfront front? This kind of logic is asinine. It's on the level of Nazis wear pants. You wear pants. You're a Nazi??
