On a serious note, "race" doesn't appear to be a credible scientific category any longer, even if it remains a practical social one to some degree. The view that race is a purely social concept is contradicted by the biological evidence. http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4639/101371journ...

One could. one would then still have to contend with the fact that we picked a fairly arbitrary groupings of characteristics in order to delineate races. out of hundreds of possible characteristics, only a handful were picked to define what constitutes race. The rest were either used selectively or...

Great posts, Philo. I have more to say on this subject later this evening.

The first four paragraphs of this essay, when I pasted it to a long-time "friend" in a chat, caused her to immediately block me.

I don't understand. Why would this cause her to block you?

First, a point about the origins of the British people. If, despite the evidence to the contrary, the English are predominantly Keltic, it is likely the upper-middle and aristocratic classes of England are disproportionately Germanic. The Anglo-Saxon overclass separated itself from the Kelts by an e...

It only confirmed something I already knew about myself. But my main interest in this thread is the sociability of others.

If it helps, I only have 24 posts. I am a relatively new member.

You bring up a good point. English humour. Totally unique amongst mankind. I have never seen anything quite like it elsewhere, and I have spent time in almost all of the civilised countries of the world.

Interesting responses. I am going to post more about this later.

I think one national trait almost peculiar to the Anglo-Saxon people is their exactness, their clarity of thought and expression. John Milton's descriptions of Hell are as detailed as that of a land-surveyor. Bunyan describes the kingdom in Pilgrim's Progress with the exactitude of a natural philoso...

Thank you.

Electronic epistolary Expression having almost completely superceded normal Conversation for me, the Test results give a somewhat exaggerated Estimation of my Sociability. For example, I answer'd Sometimes to the question, Do you share your thoughts and feelings with other people? , increasing my So...

Wrote Dan Rowden, What's your ethic? I have been most influenced by the Work of the late Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. The ethic of the misogynist? Modesty, I think, improves Woman's Self-image. It encourages Man to view Woman as a Personality, rather than an Object existing merely for the Gratifi...

Wrote Dan Rowden, Oh, and you get to determine what befits a Lady? That the Verity of a Statement, unless that Statement be strictly autobiographick, depends on the person through whom it was voiced, is preposterous. At all events, it is you who have presumed to decide the proper Scope of Woman's L...

Wrote Dan Rowden, women should dress as they see fit; Only if they choose to dress as befits a Lady; which affords ample Scope for the Exercise of Choice & the Expression of individual Peculiarities in Taste. Permitting everyone do as he "sees fit" is only productive of social Degener...

You ought to care. All true Poetry hath proper metricikal Regularity. There are scarce any true Poets nowadays.

Why hath every Domain of cultural Activity?Literature, Poetry, Art, Musick, Film, Fashion, Architecture, &c. ?been in Decline in proportion as Technology hath risen? I think HITLER precipitated the decline of Western culture by launching World War the Second. May the name of that accursed man be...

What did it stand for?

The Poem's metrickal Regularity is imperfect.

Wrote Alex Jacob, Who do you refer to to support the idea of 'scientific reality of race' (distinct races, race-difference)? Neil Risch, University of Stanford; Richard D.

Wrote Leyla Shen, So? If you don’t have a biased criteria, it's amazing what you can see. That's not in a Jew's interests, though, since they like to think that way precisely because it was used to create and is used to justify the expansion of the state of Israel (for example, in the form of sla...
