Really? I didnt deny that. My contention with Tommy is that he says the shootings are based on something genetic. There are other reasons why people can be violent besides genetics. That was all i was saying.
Say that to the whites here who make all kids of racist statements claiming genetics..
"chicago" !!!!!
First I highly doubt that many actually believe there is a genetic link.
Which by the way, I doubt that the "whites" on here, actually believe what they are saying. Maybe they do, but especially on forums like this, I think a large number come on here with the intent to say things to instigate others. I think they are just saying stuff to trigger people.
These are internet tough guys, that can't look you in the eye in real life, but hiding in mommy's basement, are suddenly able to say all the inflammatory stuff they want.
Ironically, the other side has the exact same people, from the opposite ideology, who are just as much spineless cowards. Billo_really is a perfect example.
To be fair to Tommy, I think he really believes the crap he says.
As for the genetics of violence, I find that crazy. There are many examples of people groups that went from extreme violence, to almost docile.
Japanese for example. If you go through the history of Japan, it was filled with violence, and internal wars, and struggles, and finally after unifying into a single country of Japan, they were extremely brutal and cruel to any people they encountered.
Now, I think it's fairly clear they are a more industrious, but non-violent culture.
There is no evidence that they drastically changed from a genetics perspective. I think it was a cultural shift, likely influenced from the dramatic defeat in WW2, combined with the US rebuilding and supporting the country.
I think think of several other people groups, that went through cultural shifts.
