White people got their skin and hair from Neanderthals - Polidicks

Can I start complaining that the world was stolen from the Neanderthals and demand some sort of Government compensation now?

Using words would really help, I could throw images and statistics at you too and it wouldn't make any point

[QUOTE=kurva;43718450][IMG]http://robertlindsay.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/800px-iq_by_country-by-current-resident-majority.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] keep in mind that different areas of the world have different standards of living and education; of course it would make sense that the most economically developed countries would have higher general IQs

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;43716060]I'm surprised that humans could breed with Neanderthals at all considering they'd be genetically quite different[/QUOTE] tell that to ligers and zorses

I'm just saying. When people point to a shining gem in the post colonial africa world, they point to Kenya. It has a gdp of 80 billion after two to three generations of independence. South Korea has risen to 1.3 trillion gdp within the same amount of time and they were about the same development stage, while also being suppressed imperial subjects.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;43718405]To put into prospective. South Korea and Japan both obtained record growth and rose to a trillion dollar gdp within one to two generations of rule. I'm going to attribute that to something.[/QUOTE] Both South Korea and Japan were politically stable and benefited from massive US investment (along with being effective protectorates of the USA). Look at most of Africa. With the exception of Botswana, these countries have been characterized by a large number of proxy wars, puppet states, forced regime changes, foreign aid going to support allies, etc. The western and eastern world has only just started to recently invest into Africa instead of using it as a place for proxy warfare.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;43718405] [img]http://puu.sh/6CYnx[/img] [/QUOTE] How do you explain this? [IMG]http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/business/gdp11.png[/IMG] or the fact that North Korea fucking sucks despite having superclever Asians?

North Korea sucks because they have literally two export partners.

Or this? Aren't they supposed to not understand how things work? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aycV3KB.png[/IMG]

They were not relatively stable till well into the 60's or 70's man.

How does skin colour alone correlate to intelligence exactly or am I missing something [QUOTE=kurva;43718450][IMG]http://robertlindsay.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/800px-iq_by_country-by-current-resident-majority.png[/IMG] IQ statistics of the world.[/QUOTE] Have you considered that poverty, oppression and lack of education might be a factor in that

[QUOTE=Swebonny;43718540]Or this? Aren't they supposed to no understand how things work?

And when did I say that they don't understand? Like quote my post where I said that.

Things like, what resources the country has to exploit, refine and export; population size, political stability, infrastructure, etc. Saying one country is smart while another is not due to their economies is comparing apples and bananas.

[QUOTE=Laputa;43718544]How does skin colour alone correlate to intelligence exactly or am I missing something Have you considered that poverty, oppression and lack of education might be a factor in that[/QUOTE] It's not just skin color, it's overall development as a result of diverging evolution paths. Different dog breeds have different traits. I'm not saying we should have a race cast system. I'm saying that people are different and we should accept that.

What the fuck does showing pictures of cities prove anything? There's a lot more to that and you're just simplifying everything

I still like being white.

[/QUOTE] This is largely because in un-industrialized countries they can import machinery, skills, etc from abroad and get low hanging fruit. Compare Britain in 1820 to 1870 (who grew at 2% PA), America from 1820 to 1870 (who grew at 4.4% and imported a lot of machinery, laborers, skills, and capital from Britain), and then the Asian tigers (who hit double digits and benefited hugely from American investment).

They have three fucking national capitals.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;43718543]Oh lol no. They were not relatively stable till well into the 60's or 70's man.[/QUOTE] Odd then that this was then their economy took off.

Johannesburg is also not that great of an example since they're a boer colony lol.

[QUOTE=Gwoodman;43718604]What the fuck does showing pictures of cities prove anything?

Bulgaria isn't as developed and has worse living standarts, health problems and so on. Bulgarians' scores are still way higher than South African according to the results.

BUT IF YOU MATCH THEIR ECONOMIES BY POPULATION THEYD BE NEARLY THE SAME OR BETTER :v: at 7-8 million, bulgaria has a gdp of 100 billion. South Africa at around 50 million peeps has a gdp of 550-600 billion.

[QUOTE=kurva;43716871]Kurva* The world doesn't revolve around you, Polen. You're disregarding Serbia, Bulgaria and other Balkan countries.[/QUOTE] Excuse me I think you meant kurba

Growth from a couple billion to a second digit couple billion is less impressive than HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS.
