You probably aren't too old to try practicing rational discourse if you worked at it. Point, counter point instead of point, troll attempt.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki recovered from an atomic blast because the populace rebuilt it. Detroit's problem is that the populace is continuously trying to destroy the city.Scrumple wrote:Would that make any difference though?laklak wrote:I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Early 20th century science proved it when they showed that IQ tests that Blacks scored lower, and that this deficit correlated with White admixture.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:18th Century science.Tyrannical wrote:it is an intellectual choice based on science, facts, and statistics.
The earth is flat, the universe orbits the Earth, and Blacks are equal in average intellectual capacity. We even have our own version of the Inquisition when it comes to questioning Black equality. Eventually science and facts will overcome the non-sense of equality.

What was the quality of education that black children were given compared to white children? What was the educational that their parents and grandparents received?
You harp on this subject because you want it to be true. You want an unearned signifier of superiority in the form of your skin colour.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Yes, however as I say urban living is centralised round the marketplace, which is becoming increasingly superfluous and non cost efficient. Thus there is no need for urban without it, only suburban, which will be the next stage, somewhere between rural and urban. Except obviously in developing economies who still need mass employment.Coito ergo sum wrote: Well, the centralization of population into urban areas has increased, not decreased.

Re: Detroit: The Shape of Things To Come?
No need other than people may enjoy living in cities in close proximity to cultural and entertainment options, family and employment. How is the marketplace becoming increasingly superfluous and non-cost-efficient, though? Not sure I'm seeing evidence for that.Audley Strange wrote:Yes, however as I say urban living is centralised round the marketplace, which is becoming increasingly superfluous and non cost efficient.

Write in candidate gets support in Detroit --
From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2013 ... z2bIoAT0pj
Duggan waged an unlikely write-in campaign and said observers are saying 97 percent of the write-in ballots were written correctly. With city election officials checking write-in ballots in all 614 precincts, “Mike Duggan“ had 44,395 votes.
“Duggan” with no first name was the next most popular listing, followed by “Mike Duggen,” “Michael Duggan,” “Mike Duggon,” “M Duggan” and “Mike Duggin.” There was a ballot cast for “the white guy Mike Duggan.” Taken together, the ballots indicate many of the write-in votes were expected to eventually go for Duggan, the observers said.

Re: Detroit: The Shape of Things To Come?
People of all races lived in Detroit but only whitey had the means and connections to relocate when the citys industrial base collapsed in the seventies. It appears blacks have caused the social collapse but really they are victims of it for the most part. The primary cause was Detroit produced gas guzzlers no one wanted after the oil shocks of the early seventies. Like the coming collapse of the movie state it is whites who'll relocate and it'll appear hispanics caused the social collapse there - really it was Youtube and a vastly widened media world that left California like a parched desert it always was/will be.
