Okay, but what about all the yuppies who “don’t want to have kids” because “it’s too much work”? I’m fairly certain if you look at more conservative areas of the country (down to the county level), you’ll see higher birthrates on average than more liberal parts.
Well, you have to add 'em up. I think the welfare Moms are more than making up for the yuppies who keep their families small. After all, the tax statistics say that the percentage of people who pay net positive taxes is steadily shrinking. And that is one of the big dangers to the Republic foreseen by Madison and Jefferson.
Regarding the latter, those tax statistics relate more to changes in the tax code (deductions, etc.) than birthrates, IIRC.
Remember the only way to win is not to play.
I don't think I should be included in this "us" part. I would tell you why, but then I'd have to...
Just kidding. But only about the "I'd have to" thing.
Someone needs to put that thing out of its misery.
The cat could very well be man's best friend, but would never stoop to admitting it.
The Egyptians worshiped the cat as a god.
Maybe the felines have been domesticating us to serve them for millennia.
Why does somebody always have to post that picture of Helen Thomas?
;-}
I don't know about millenia, but I have to consider some of their possible impact on current human breeding. A man or woman who is a servant or worshiper of a cat would be forced to reject any partner outright if they didn't do the same.
This is true.
The pathological hoplophobia the libs are trying to make a part of our culture is an example. It isn’t the weapon itself so much they disapprove of, but the masculinity it projects.
In their “perfect” world, all men will be in touch with their feminine selves, satisfied with only growing flowers and taking care of their babies instead of hunting for animals, eating meat, and defending their territory.
GREAT article.
But I’m not sure about the loss of melanin theory. There probably were several million Vikings and their victims who would disagree with him there.
“How many generations does it take to make an un-aggressive human the natural way?”
Scandinavia - 800 A.D. to present.
England - 1960 to present.
Italy - 100 A.D. to 1200 A.D.
America - 1960 to ????????
Islam - STILL GOING STRONG.

You must remember Gustavus Adolphus, that name would put it from 1721 until now.
Yeah and Charles XII also - I forgot about him.
I guess the point is that warrior cultures like the Vikings, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, with time get castrated.
Modern day Scandinavians, Italians and Brits are nothing like their ancestors, but people of those groups living here in the U.S. are by no means wussies. WE still have manly men here - despite the liberal attemp to castrate us all.
So it is probably cultural in the case of humans rather than genetic - at least up to now.
