I really don't understand why so many people on these forums think that I am joking or making light of neo-conservatives via my posts. I can assure you, I am doing no such thing. I realize that this is a bit of a spam topic, but I'd really like to know who thinks I am a troll so I can convince them that I am not. Do you have any reason for believing this, or haven't you encountered views as outside the mainstream as mine before? If not, I suggest you visit Topeka to get an education in right-wing thought.

I don't think your a troll, I have seen all your posts and impart from one or two threads, you are not some crazy extreme right winger. You are actually quite moderate compared to those sorts of people, though your opinions are slightly peculiar.

Most of the people on this forum can't take an opinion which is different or conflicts their opinion, and must assume they are either crazy or a troll. It is pretty sad really.

Conversely, by assuming that I am a troll, they are assuming that people who share my views are neither mentally stable nor in possession of a brain.

I am certainly not ultra-elitist, although that is not something I can say of most liberals. I believe everyone should be judged by how hard he/she is willing to work to succeed -- those who assiduously apply themselves and succeed in our highly competitive world deserve to be lauded. Many of my fellow Topekans believe in the ideals of personal responsibility and freedom, too.

Furthermore, we are not fear-mongers. We simply realize that a grave threat to the future of the US is posed by the terrorists. They are diabolically plotting our destruction from afar, awaiting their opportunity to massacre more innocents. We need a strong leader who is willing to shoulder the burden of protecting us against the nihilistic fiends.

No, most Topekans do not agree with "compassionate slavery," although a small minority to agree with slavery based on race. However, at my high school a couple years ago, 1/3 of seniors agreed with the idea that a system of slavery needed to be created.

The mere implication that you consider your beliefs, amongst which you count indentured servitude, as mainstream conservative thought is ludicrous. You are a caricature of every conservative position on any issue carried to the illogical extreme. That's why people think you're a troll.

Well, it was by no means a mathematically accurate poll representing the entirety of Kansas -- just my school. And it was a slightly slanted question, I must admit. I do have a copy of the newspaper in which the question was printed. What it asked was: "do you believe that slavery could be beneficial to our society"? The answers were:

Under certain conditions, slavery can be beneficial (36%)
I am neutral towards the proposition / it would have an extremely minor effect (28%)
Slavery can never be beneficial (26%)

There may be specific areas in which blacks are genetically different from whites -- this is a scientific fact. For example, there are several prescription medicines which are targeted towards blacks in particular. Why? Because there are, in general, some genetic differences between blacks and whites. However, there is nothing so major as to affect intelligence.

Are you sure? It was founded upon the theory of republicanism, granted, but also on economic freedom (ie, classical liberalism, or modern economic conservatism). The colonists wanted free trade and free markets free from taxes, tariffs, and British intervention. If anything, they were far right radicals. The modern-day equivalents would most likely be libertarians. However, many also did not think that suffrage should extend to the poor, so it really varied from person to person.

The point is that there are genetic differences between blacks and whites. Whether or not it extends to running ability is up to debate -- it could be caused by environmental effects as you postulate. If you acknowledge evolution, you will find that black populations were largely separated from cross-breeding with white population for a long period of time. That would lead to blacks developing specific survival skills which would best suit them in Africa, while whites developed separate characteristics which would best suit them in Europe. It is a simple case of allopatric speciation.

I am certainly not ultra-elitist
That a fact? What about your quaint plan to tie voting power to one's bank account?

I believe everyone should be judged by how hard he/she is willing to work to succeed -- those who assiduously apply themselves and succeed in our highly competitive world deserve to be lauded.
That's a fine idea. We should not, however, penalize and disenfranchise whoever does not live up to your gold standard.

Many of my fellow Topekans believe in the ideals of personal responsibility and freedom, too.
...for whoever meets your twisted idea of what's acceptable, of course.

Furthermore, we are not fear-mongers. We simply realize that a grave threat to the future of the US is posed by the terrorists. They are diabolically plotting our destruction from afar, awaiting their opportunity to massacre more innocents.
As opposed to the Republicans, who are blindly leading us to our destruction here, waiting for opportunities to sacrifice even more of your supposedly cherished freedoms?

We need a strong leader who is willing to shoulder the burden of protecting us against the nihilistic fiends.
No, we need a competent leader who understands that causes have effects, actions have reactions, and that our superpower status does not grant us the right, the duty, or even the ability to limitlessly impose our wishes on the world.

No, most Topekans do not agree with "compassionate slavery," although a small minority to agree with slavery based on race. However, at my high school a couple years ago, 1/3 of seniors agreed with the idea that a system of slavery needed to be created.
Well then, to that fraction of your upstanding senior class: welcome to the 21st century. Relax, enjoy, and get a fucking clue.

Of course there are genetic differences. My question is whether you believe these differences make blacks inferior or not?

In some extremely specific areas, I am sure that they are inferior, perhaps such as swimming. In others, I am sure that they are superior, such as running. However, in a broad context, there are not real differences. Blacks, on average, are equally smart as whites, for example.

Hydesland, perhaps you haven't looked at this player's post history. I can assure that I have. It's not stereotyping to call his posts racist, because they're not basing it on his stated conservatism, but on his POSTS.

In that context, "most repugnant" is no different from "tallest" or "most intelligent", because it's based on a comparison with other people that player had met. Is it an insult? Probably. Is it actionable? No.

Yes, and so does the racism that certain East-Asians hold both against each other and towards non-Asians, and likewise with Arabs and so on. It's an extension of the innate "Us vs them" mentality in humans, and all animals more generally, with racism being its particular focus, either due to cultural norms, or genetics in some cases, or both.

Yes, the thing is you cannot simply change nature via nurture. That takes hundreds, even thousands of years of change. If you take an average Asian and an average Black and give them the same degree of training in, say, a particular event in which blacks excel, ceteris paribus, the black will still outperform the Asian. Nurture can change things, and improve certain aspects of one's nature, but within limits. Not all things that are perceived as "nature" necessarily are though.

Now, if most blacks become accustomed to an easy urban life over the millenia, this ability may very well eclipse. Evolution. They adapt to new surroundings.

I'll agree with that from an instinctual standpoint. I would think, however, that most of that instinct can be submerged via early childhood learning. For instance, I watched Star Trek as a baby. Whether that had anything to do with it I still don't know, but I feel like pointing it out.

It's a basic survival mechanism, the ability to distinguish between your kin and your foe, your allies and your enemies, or what you perceive to be those anyway (for instance, the ability of a mother to differentiate her spawn from those of others).

It's a basic survival mechanism, the ability to distinguish between your kin and your foe, your allies and your enemies, or what you perceive to be those anyway (for instance, the ability of a mother to differentiate her spawn from those of others). Therefore I am not sure how far it can be submerged. That would need to be tested by psychologists.

Here is an interesting evolutionary article:

http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/0601428103v1?etoc
I doubt it can be submerged completely. I mean, I do hate some things. Luckily, what I hate is mostly ridiculous. Like the Raiders, an American football team. They are the bitter enemy of my favorite American football team, the Broncos.

Exactly. Evolution doesn't take place over night.

Unless this is some species of bacteria whih can go through many generations in a night.

Not quite.

True, it affects them, changing them over time, but it's not like *snap* and they change. We are talking 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, and 100000 year periods.

Actually, mentally and physically, people are affected more by the their early years of childhood. For instance, If a child is taken away from its mother at a very early age, it will most likely become very deppressed and anti-social. The same is true about physically. If a child becomes involved in sports at an early age through the act of play, they will have greater willingness to exercise when they get older.

No, what you refer to is what changes can come through nurture (ie improving your intelligence through an education) -- these do not eliminate core genetic differences though. They merely build on them. They are not tantamount to pure evolutionary changes, which will take millenia to realize.

However, Nurture has a greater affect on the being that is experiencing these occurences.

Furthermore, we are not fear-mongers. We simply realize that a grave threat to the future of the US is posed by the terrorists. They are diabolically plotting our destruction from afar, awaiting their opportunity to massacre more innocents. We need a strong leader who is willing to shoulder the burden of protecting us against the nihilistic fiends.
Yet you won't shoulder a weapon to save your country, stating that it is insane to do so. You don't vote, yet you want a strong leader, and you want to subjugate citizens of lower mentality.

You also want to invade countries to steal their resources if needed.

Yup you is a troll.:p

Ok, example: Is a person more likely to pick a republican or a democrat in an election? Because of the teachings of their parents, their enviorment etc. the person will select one candidate based on that rather than an instinct that is innately placed in them.

If that were true (that people get their political values from their parents), then everybody would have the same political opinions as the mythical Adam and Eve (you know what I mean: nothing, throughout time, would change. It would just be continued by the next generation)

obviously, this is not happening.

I really don't understand why so many people on these forums think that I am joking or making light of neo-conservatives via my posts. I can assure you, I am doing no such thing. I realize that this is a bit of a spam topic, but I'd really like to know who thinks I am a troll so I can convince them that I am not. Do you have any reason for believing this, or haven't you encountered views as outside the mainstream as mine before? If not, I suggest you visit Topeka to get an education in right-wing thought.

I do believe you are a troll for a very simple reason. When stating statistics to back up your "beliefs" you never offer any proof, links or quotes. When faced with an argument against your "beliefs" you do not argue against them, you merely choose the easiest target amongst them and provoke even more debate moving away from your original topic. By doing this you manage to create huge threads with many responses, whilst only choosing to argue against the weakest statements against you and offering nothing to back up your statements apart from it is what you "believe" in. For that, yes, you tuely are a troll.

The poll doesn't exactly fit the title. The softer language of the poll question might give the misleading impression that "MTAE is not much of a troll, only 60% or so."

So I went through the responses, and found this:

These people clearly stated that MTAE was not a troll, or were more vaguely supportive of MTAE:

Neocon Pride
Aioran
Darknovae
Hydesland
Nordligmark
Okielahoma

These people found MTAE to be a troll:

Linthiopia
Montacanos
Sdaeriji
Frisbeetaria
Unabashed Greed
Laerod
Swilatia
Arthais101
Celtland
CanuckHeaven
Ollieland
Heikoku
Yootopia
Infinite Revolution

Nani Goblin had never heard of MTAE

These people made comments about MTAE which were (heh-hem) "not supportive:"
Fassigen
Ginnoria
Cluichstan
Cabra West
Teraq
Dinaverg
Refused-Party-Program
Medical Oddities
Avisron
New Domici
New Burmesia
Soheran
Neesica

These people carried on extensive debate about racism and genetics, with very little encouragement from the OPer:

Europa Maxima
Herculisis

If any poster objects to the category they're in, email jjvs@pnc.com.au and I'll edit.

I think the contents of the posts provide a much clearer indication of how NSGers perceive MTAE than the more balanced poll results.

And me? I think MTAE is a troll, AND can't possibly believe everything he posts. At least, not all at the same time.

haha, I guessed it was you by the thread title. You're not really making light of conservatism, at least not in the Colbert sense. I assume the 184+ posts previously will have told you already that promotion of slavery and such are generally considered Trollish around here.

Conversely, by assuming that I am a troll, they are assuming that people who share my views are neither mentally stable nor in possession of a brain. This gross ridiculing of right-wing ideas is, I must admit, quite saddening. It is not better than bigotry, but I guess that fits in to the racist Democratic position.

Most conservatives don't espouse slavery or "pay money to be able to vote". If you're not a troll, then you're nuttier than a fruitcake.
