Bible quotes

[CamB]

Your delusions of grandeur WRT maths doesn't make you smarter than me (or anyone else for that matter).

Exogenous is good. Seven out of ten! Got any more?

No need for more - it makes your whole premise invalid. If I'm on 7/10, you're unfortunately on about 2/10 and need to start over. The impossibility of demostrating causality between race and intelligence is not something you're going to overcome quickly.

Oh yeah, and Asian people have higher IQ (and SAT scores in the US) than whites.

(edit) to answer the Christian question...

Until someone has rejected God and dies in that position, I dunno that they're a pagan for the purposes of those verses. I was an atheist, but not now. I can't be condemned and saved. See skidup's quote "whomever" - that means, to me, everyone has the opportunity.

Besides, South America has the most Christians, I believe. And I suspect that, not being white, they fall a little behind in your preferred view of the world. Explain please?

In one instance, you must agree that a negative number is just a positive number multiplied by -1, then we can always write the product of two negative numbers this way:
(-a)(-b) = (-1)(a)(-1)(b) = (-1)(-1)ab

Or
-2 * -3 = (-1)(2)(-1)(3)

= (-1)(-1)(2)(3)

= (-1)(-1) * 6
the distributive property of multiplication wouldn't work for negative numbers, for instance:
(-1)(1 + -1) = (-1)(1) + (-1)(-1)

(-1)(0) = -1 + -1

0 = -2
Since everything except +1 can be excluded as impossible, it follows that, however improbable it seems, (-1)(-1) = +1.
Let a and b be any two real numbers. Consider the number x defined by
x = ab + (-a)(b) + (-a)(-b).

We can write
x = ab + (-a)[ (b) + (-b) ] (factor out -a)
= ab + (-a)(0)
= ab + 0
= ab.
Also,
x = [ a + (-a) ]b + (-a)(-b) (factor out b)
= 0 * b + (-a)(-b)
= 0 + (-a)(-b)
= (-a)(-b).
So we have
x = ab
and
x = (-a)(-b)

Hence, by the transitivity of equality, we have
ab = (-a)(-b).

I try to enjoy a 3-day weekend of peace and quiet and come back to this! Sheesh -- you folks need to spend some more time out in the fresh air.

Alfred - as a Christian, I am very dissapointed at how you manage to take verses in the Bible so out of context. I suggest that you re-read some of the very passages that you posted here to gain a deeper understanding of what Christ is teaching.

Further - any more racist slurs, degrading comments, and what-not, and you will be banned. Discussing different beliefs and views is fine, but degrading and insulting other people is not allowed.

Show some maturity and respect. Otherwise, you will be banned.

Is a zenophobe someone who's afraide of Buddhists?

What makes Teflon stick to the pan?

the latest non-stick revolution, probably lost on cooks, is a non-mechanical means of sticking non-stick to aluminum. In this method, which DuPont calls "smooth technology," new-and-improved sticky molecules in the primer coat sink as the pan bakes and chemically lock themselves to smooth, unmolested metal. The upper layers fuse together better, and you get a tougher pan.

Wonder which ones those are?

[lendaddy]

Not to jump on the Alfred wagon here, but to argue there are no inherent mental/physical aptitude differences between the races/sexes is silly. Of course there are differences in our natural abilities.

But to stand back and claim superiority as a race (outside of a specific attribute) is not only scary, but completely subjective anyway. What would be the point?

[stevepaa]

Some people always need someone to point the finger at and say they are evil and the cause of their failures.

Interesting that whites get a 7% increase, asians get a 12% increase, hispanics get a 16% increase and african-amercians get a 14% increase in SAT with increasing wealth. Doesn't seem to make any sense to invest in white kids with their low ROI.

Seems to me that that is the best correlation there. Money and parents education can make the difference. Interesting to see if they have data for grandparents education level.

Alfred1:
I answered your question. I could put it into simpler terms but I would rather show you the respect you think you deserve, now

"How do you know that (-1)(1) = -1 ?"

You are not serious, are you?
It's an application of the multiplicative identity law.

Math and human intelligence do not appear to be alfred's strong points.

What's this guy do for a living anyways? I could see how he would be well suited for a job as a researcher at a right wing think tank.

Nah, he's likely in a bunker somewhere near Sandpoint, Idaho.

Sandpoint? Don't impune Sandpoint. That is where Patrick McManus grew up. He authored The Bear in the Attic, Real Ponies Don't Go Oink, Deer On a Bicycle, The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw, Kid Camping From Aaaaiii to Zip, Rubber Legs and White Tail-Hairs, Into the Twilight, Endlessly Grousing, The Grasshopper Trap, Never Cry "Arp!!", Never Sniff a Gift Fish, How I Got This Way, They Shoot Canoes, Don't They, The Good Samaritan Strikes Again and A Fine And Pleasant Misery.

Every red blooded boy knows of Patrick McManus.

Z. Seperation of the church and the state.

You can be a moderator and enforce PP policy, or;

You can be a God botherer and express an opinon accordingly.

Yet again you fail to understand that it is inappropriate to be both at the same time.

Both appear to correctly overlap in this case.
