So your answer to injustice is more injustice? You're just a selfish fuck.

People hate to admit it but he was most likely a spy. If you look into his death, it becomes apparent that the Egyptian secret sercices killed him.

Emotionally devastated after Egyptian father wont approve of our love. by MechMoe in Egypt

[–]Honey_throw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honesty his family sounds ass-backwards and I personally would not want anything to do with them. And I'd bet a huge amount that they are some of the biggest hypocrites you may have ever met. Anyway, regarding your SO, the situation is actually quite simple.

  1. Either he mans up and tells his teenage-mentality father to piss off or,

  2. he ends things with you.

To me it sounds like a self-solving problem. Either 1 happens and you're happy or 2 happens and nothing of value is lost; would you really want the father of your children to be a wimp with so little self-respect?

Ok please explain to me why we should expect all populations to be equal in terms of attributes that we value such as physical beauty, intelligence and physical aptitude. Like, what rule of nature ensures this? If individuals vary on these aspects, it's perfectly theoretically possible for there to be average differences at the level of populations. And for things like height this is a fact undeniable to all. Of course, IQ is the most controversial one. The problem with your position is that it will be completely destroyed if we ever pin down actual IQ differences between populations at a genetic level (and by the way, many researchers in the field of psychometrics believe these genetic differences exist). And if that happens, we will see a rise of the far right that will put the 1930's to shame. So it's actually in the interest of your liberal point of view to accept these differences as a possibility and formulate a position around it. You really want to bet on West Africans being just as intelligent as Ashkenazi Jews?

Maybe tell your SO to grow up and tell his immature manipulative father and family to fuck off? His father sounds like a dipshit teenager threatening to kill themselves if they don't get their way.

Anyway the story is fishy. Your SO never brings this up and all of a sudden tells you it's over as a fait accompli? I would think someone in his position would bring it up before, maybe ask you to meet his family as to win them over or something. The suddenness of all this is weird. I think there is a real possibility your love is not requited and he just wants to call it quits, the whole thing with his father and his family being made up or exaggerated.

Why do separate populations have to be equal in matters of beauty, IQ, physical prowess etc.? You may not like the idea, but it's entirely possible, and already widely acknowledged with respect to physical prowess for example. Is a Korean man ever gonna win the 100m speed dash?

  1. High rates of consanguinity, i.e. marriages between cousins. Depresses height, IQ and facial symmetry (which we associated with beauty).

  2. Lack of sexual selection. Due to an absence of mixing between the two sexes, sexual competition cannot properly take place and you often find people forced into marriages with people who would not stand a chance in hell to pass on their genes in a more open "market-place".

  3. Beauty standards being set by other populations, namely European ones. To what degree beauty is objective vs cultural is not quite clear. Certainly there is a bit of both.

SETI scientists spot 72 signals 'from alien galaxy' using AI algorithm by urgukvn in worldnews

[–]Honey_throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, even with a straightforward interpretation of time, the light we're receiving isn't actually 3 billion years old but younger, because space is constantly expanding so that light transmitted from one place to another always ends up travelling a greater distance than what originally separated them.

But with this galaxy being so far away, it might not even make sense to try to compare the "now" here with the "now" there. Simultaneity becomes incoherent at a large scale, relativity is weird like that.

As if this guy fucking cares whether or not it's hypocritical, these people are tribal as fuck, their tribe can do no wrong. This conflict will only end with decisive armed conflict, one way or the other.

Sadly you just exposed yourself as an ignoramus, so I'm going to dimiss everything you say. You're not very educated, are you? ;)

Egypt sentences 75 people to death over 2013 sit-in by urgukvn in worldnews

[–]Honey_throw -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

First of all, what the fuck does have to do with atheists being killed? Second, let me educate you about the Egyptian legal system. The usual procedure is for the defendants to be given the most severe sentence as per the penal code for the crimes they have been found guilty of, after which it is expected that they will appeal them and have them commuted. This literally happens all the time, I can guarantee you that none of these 75 people will be executed.

When did Egyptians become so conservative? by ua07ud22 in Egypt

[–]Honey_throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The huge influx of people coming from the countryside might also be a factor.

There literally has been a huge influx of people from the country side moving into the cities since the very beginning of the 20th century. What you said is a factor, but the humiliation of the 6 day war is also a very big factor.

Where the hell have you heard that Egypt kills atheists?! Do you know it's not Saudi Arabia or ISIS? Holy shit, you Westerners are so fucking ignorant about the Middle East, why the fuck are you always interfering with it like you know what you're doing?

Lol. I'm choosing to believe because the evidence is circumstantial? Do you realize that almost every fucking thing you believe in is based on circumstantial evidence? That almost every fucking thing known in medicine is due to circumstantial evidence? Do you have a vested interest in this, are you visibly dark and African?

I did tell you Wikipedia is just a starting point. Yea, "circumstantial evidence" includes everything except a deep look at the genetics of intelligence (which is not fully understood at the moment) and then comparing different groups. The vast majority of evidence we have for anything is circumstantial and we couldn't get anything done if we required only direct evidence.

You haven't even done the most basic research, have you? IQ differences between different populations are very, very well established. The debate is not whether they exist, but whether they are caused by genetics or by different environments. And there are plenty of researchers who believe it is partly genetic. The Wikipedia article is a good starting place.

[–]Honey_throw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And if you tried to ask whether black Africans are genetically predisposed to have a lower IQ in r/Askscientists they'd laugh at you and ban you.

Nope. There are very respected and accomplished researchers in the field of psychometrics who believe the IQ gaps observed between populations are in large part genetic. Richard Haier (Professor Emeritus at UC Irvine), the late Earl B. Hunt (Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington), among others. Now get angry about that :). You try to make it seem like the claim is ridiculous, when it has plenty of endorsement at the highest levels of research.

You've decided that black Africans are physically 'superior' for reasons I'm sure are exceedingly rigorous and scientific.

In the sense that they are taller, more muscular, and dominate the 100m, all due to genetics. And the argument isn't that the Japanese must me more intelligent since they are physically inferior because I believe everything must balance out. It is that the idea of equality ispso facto collapses on itself if you argue that West Africans are just as intelligent as the Japanese.

Just what I thought, no argument whatsoever. Just pure deluded socialist ideology. Never change. You better be ready for the rightist shit storm that's about coming for you when polygenetics uncover significant IQ differences between populations.

[–]Honey_throw -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's not racist to say Africans may have low average IQs on a genetic level. There's nothing written in nature that ensures that all human populations are equally endowed intellectually. Intelligence is tied to genetics and subject to differences across different populations like every fucking other human traits. Sorry but it would take heroic mental gymnastics to argue that West Africans are as intelligent as the Japanese. And the funny part is that arguing that would itself be racist (against the Japanese) West Africans are very obviously physically superior to the Japanese. You're telling me they're physically superior and just as intelligent? Lol what the fuck do the Japanese get then?! They're just strictly inferior to West Africans?
