Individualism & the human spirit

No, why would anyone think that?

I am a white American. It would sound silly to refer to myself as an ethnic Norwegian. Even though I'm over half Norwegian, I don't speak the language and also have significant amounts of other blood. It's sufficient to just say I'm white to identify my background.

So why did you respond to FMF like this then:

As a matter of interest, are you a member of an ethnic group with what you say are "higher than average IQs" or are you a member of an ethnic group with "lower than average IQs"?

I thought I explained why I didn't.

I also do not think I am obligated to like.. write a small essay on why I responded with different wordage than the OP.

Do you believe that you are statistically more likely to be smarter than a black American and that the cause of this is your race?

This isn't about me.

So why make it about me?

Of course it's about you. You're the one who's blathering on about "IQ" all the time and about "race" and "simpletons" and about "Harvard professors" and all the rest. It's your glass-chinned own-fart-smelling alcohol-fuelled posting history, nobody else's. Of course it's about you.

No you didn't, you just keep dodging it like you have again.

LOL, you're ridiculous.

This is about having an abstract discussion about things but it seems like you are so rotten in your motivations and your intentions that you turn it all around on me.

LOL, imagine being in your 50s and this is what you do for fun.

I'm done with your questions, bro, until you can assemble some shred of dignity.

This thread's OP still awaits you.

so you wait like... 3-4 weeks for me to talk about the topic of race and intelligence again. The topic finally comes around a bit...

And your slam drunk question that you are dying for me to continue grappling and talkig about is...

Why did you respond by saying that you are white when you were asked a question that was phrased with the word ethnicity...

I am going to have to take a page from the SJW playbook and say,

Wow, just wow, I can't even.

Nice new avatar.

Are you using that mugshot for your campaign literature? If not, I recommend it!

Thats twice by my count you've admitted to it

Karoly, FMF & Dive seldom make a post that doesn't have the a negative intention and influence on the forum.

While two wrongs don't make a right... It's a bit rich to complain about the instances where someone else is doing it and act like we now have some kind of issue.
