@fulhamish:
"Ah yes 'a man of his time'. Well I wonder if I did did some research whether I could find other men of that time, or come to that any time, who wern't racist? What do you honestly think? I would bet the crown jewels on it."

You're baiting. It's an irrelevant bait. Your claim is about supposedly unsavory logical consequences of evolutionary theory. Clarify and support it or don't bother saying anything.

Yes that's right, Fulham thinks Michael Behe is a legitimate scientist but Darwin was a quack.

I would say its good but It tasted too much like slavery to me. The people who made it were only making minimum wage. which is 8 or 9 dollars. hence not a liveable wage hence slavery. mic drop

''You're baiting. It's an irrelevant bait. Your claim is about supposedly unsavory logical consequences of evolutionary theory. Clarify and support it or don't bother saying anything.''

Well you ddoged the man of his time debate I see. Can't support it any more?

To answer your question with some examples:

Weikart, R. (2004). From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary ethics, eugenics, and racism in Germany.

Zimmerer, J. (2005). Annihilation in Africa: the “Race War” in German Southwest Africa (1904–1908) and Its Significance For a Global History of Genocide. Bulletin of the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC, 37, 51-57.

Degler, C. N. (1991). In search of human nature: The decline and revival of Darwinism in American social thought. Oxford University Press.

Lindqvist, S., & Tate, J. (1992). “Exterminate all the Brutes”: One Man's Odyssey into the Heart of Darkness and the Origins of European Genocide.

Ah. So, upon clarification, your argument is that a scientifically discredited sociological dogma attempting to moralize early evolutionary theory had negative consequences. I agree with you! So what? (Also, take that first citation and throw it in the garbage; that's all it's good for.)

The real question is why doesn't Fulham throw out Christianity using the same logic, as Christianity was much much more influential among 19th and 20th century racists than Darwinism ever was.The lion's share of Darwinists were liberal social reformers. The lion's share of churches believed in biblical justifications for racism. Also Fulham has been citing that farce of a Weikart book for years now. It's as if he just copies and pastes the points he makes.

The Pantheon's Oculus, an original brainbomb theory
So I recently did a lecture on the Pantheon. I find it interesting becuse it is a perfect example of the use of the Roman invention of the Dome and also the use of Corinthian Columns (the signature Roman column).
But at its center is the Oculus, a hole in the dome intended for structural support which allows the interior of the Pantheon to be illuminated.

Supreme Court Deadlock (US, abortion)
It is in all the big news websites, what do people think. Is this texan law an undue burden? Should the supreme court make a decision or pass it back down? Will republicans regret blocking Obama is the lower courts start making all the decisions?

Book Club
Is anyone interested in starting a book club.

Where we pick a book each month and debate that issues it raises on the forum? (sign up below) I'm thinking of things which are political/economic books like 'Guns, Germs and Steel' by Jared Diamond, or 'Hot, Flay and Crowded' buy Thomas Friedman.

Replacement wanted
Oz in gameID=171427 is being replaced due to inactivity. Please note that this is a special rules roleplaying thread. To see the original rules, see viewthread=1325508 . Know that this game takes dedication, as it will quite possibly last many more months, and there are more than 60 pages of message archives.

If you are interested, please PM me.
