    http://times247.com/articles/pew-republicans-better-informed-more-empatheticHOW MUCH TROUBLE CAN I GET INTO WITH THIS POSTING? 🙂 (I BET IT’S A LOT.)

    If Republicans skew male, and Democrats skew female, and men accumulate more economic and political knowledge than women, and women have fewer and less diverse friends than men, then isn’t the fact that Republicans are better informed and more open minded than Democrats simply an artifact of the distribution of men and women between the parties?

    The classical liberal system was designed to create separate houses for different classes of males. It has not survived the addition of females to the electorate. We should not have eliminated the class division of houses, we should have added to it. Then we could compromise rather than conduct ideological warfare, class warfare, and gender warfare.

    And the results of these polls would be obvious.

    AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, IRAN

    I am perfectly fine with wandering around the world and punishing people and governments for not controlling the actions of their citizens. If you make the mistake of establishing a state, you by definition are responsible for your people’s actions.

    But you can’t teach the illiterate superstitious tribal inbreeding peasantry to adopt democratic government. It’s antithetical to them. Might as well try to train apes to play chess. And it’s just as likely to succeed.

    But as other have said, it certainly feeds the military contractors, even if the soldiers don’t think it’s something that they should be doing. The purpose of soldiers is to kill people and blow stuff up.

    Manufacturing civilization can’t be outsourced to a foreign contractor. It’s a purely domestic production process. 🙂

    http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/test-scores-and-housing-costs/ITS THE QUALITY OF THE PEOPLE NOT THE QUALITY OF THE SCHOOL

    –The Best Ideas Are Always In The Comments–

    “the reality of the situation….is it’s the quality of the people who comprise the neighborhood that dictate the quality of the school. Being wealthy is a by-product of the quality of those people. The culture and values of the individual, family and neighborhood matter. The most successful ethnic group in America are Asian-Americans. Why? Confucian-based values, a strong emphasis on family, and a strong work ethic create the environment necessary to raise the next generation of successful individuals. The poor are a by-product of poor individual choices, broken families, and a lack of focus on what is truly important: education.”

    Now, lets understand that white, ashkenazi and east asian scores are superior in each area. But that we’re also less impulsive — calmer. Unfortunately, white IQ has declined in the aggregate since 1850 due to rapid breeding by the underclasses. Is that offensive? Maybe. But if you pursue equality with unequal people you’re just tilting at windmills. Lets not blame the schools for the quality of the students. The only blame the schools carry is tenured teachers that the principles can’t fire.

  • NOT A CHANGE IN WOMEN, IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID We need to get these men working.

    http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/young-women-are-more-career-driven-than-men-now/IT’S NOT A CHANGE IN WOMEN, IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID

    We need to get these men working. That’s what the numbers say.

    The survey results are an aggregate numerical effect, not one that belies any change in male preferences or behavior.

    Factors:

    a) wider distribution of male abilities than female abilities means the lower part of society is male, plus males are disproportionately affected by the ongoing ‘Man-recession’.

    b) fewer men going to college

    c) lower male workforce participation rate

    d) ongoing effect of the recession

    e) the tendency of men to state what is possible as a preference.

    f) the fact that males mentally mature more slowly due to how we enforce education today.

    Basically:

    1) the lower quintiles of males affect the aggregates.

    2) The abandonment of the workforce by increasing numbers of men below 30 and above 52.

    3) The remaining mailes can’t compensate for the other two groups.

    We are not going to have the wonderful world everyone imagined post 1950. The lower classes are abandoning the institutions that made us a ‘society’. Marriage, and the nuclear family will be signals of wealth. And wealth is uncommon. Males will do here, what they have done in the rest of the world when they are no longer bound by marriage.

    That’s what they’re doing. That’s what we’re seeing. It’s just data.

    Does it matter?

    Unemployed disenfranchised women don’t really matter to a polity. Unemployed disenfranchised men create an infinite number of problems. Not the least of which is that they’re a precondition for revolution.
