SoftShell says

Civilization has never been developed for any IQ range.

Society has a variety of needs to be met by people in the whole range of IQ.

Race creates culture and civilization. No civilization was created to accommodate more than 1 race at a time.

Egalitarians are trying to move previously all white countries(USA and Western European nations only) away from this model, with poor results.

SoftShell says

So you deny evolution?

I embrace evolution. I think that evolution did not stop at the neck as liberals believe. To apply this logic to Whites and blacks:

2 different populations, separated by thousands of miles and years, developed different natural abilities. What proved to be the most important capability of all time, intelligence, is measurably different between these 2 races.

foxmannumber1 says

White members of society have, however black member of society have not upheld their part of being a member of a productive society. That is, at a minimum, to be lawful.

ALL Black People commit crimes?

No black man has upheld their part of being a productive member of society?

Nay, not one?

ALL Black People commit crimes?

No. No one is saying that all blacks are criminals. No one is saying that all whites are smarter than all blacks either.

The overall number and percentage of blacks who do commit crimes or contribute nothing positive to the USA far exceeds the white numbers and percentage of negative behavior and attributes.

At rates so high, it brings up the question that Whites could have far happier and more pleasant lives without blacks around.

To have Whites subsidizing the talented tenth of blacks who have an IQ of 100 or greater means you have to subsidize the bottom 90% as well. The ROI simply isn't there.

Don Billy Bob has nice ring to it.

Drop the gun and grab the pork rinds.

You can't adjust dollars to another era it just doesn't work that way.
Especially when economic standards aren't even the same.
I mean if you gave Al Capone unlimited virtual money and all kind of creative ways to create money where none existed before. Then they would have seen 600K houses as well.

It should be called Greedesian instead of Keynesian economics.

It's like trying to compare the Sear founded back in the day the Sears that is now owned by KMart. It's just two different things.
While it makes for a nice chart, it's not an accurate picture.

All you can really do is compare the costs of living compared to wages from each era.

And you deserve your own straightjacket.

foxmannumber1 says

Whites deserve their own ethnostates. Blacks deserve their own ethnostates.

tatupu70 says

We have a DISTRIBUTION problem.

Would bet money they are comparing Mean wages in 1938 to Median wages today.

In fact, I am certain the "average" wages shown on the table are median wages. SSA.gov publishes the data and shows Mean wages at 42,500 vs. median wages at 17,500 for 2012.

Every retard with an adding machine turns into statistician when he starts a blog apparently.

Prices rise with demand. An increase in access to credit can skew prices when not compared apples/apples. One could not get a 4% 30 year mortgage in 1938. Now you can. Completely different demand curve.

Call it Crazy says

This chart demonstrates that "adjusting for inflation" does not adjust for inflation. If it did, then the average price of all goods and services as based on what people actually buy would actually make their adjusted prices.

Just because some idiot says his formula adjusts for inflation, does not mean it actually does.

Strategist says

So what if the dollar loses value? Has no relevance to the standard of living.

Actually, it has quite a big impact particularly in the medium term. It's not inflation, but rather the specific mechanism of inflation that is the problem. If we wanted to expand the currency supply to ten fold its level, we could do so fairly and socially justly by simply increasing everyone's bank account, wallet, wages, bills, and debts by a factor of ten. Simply move the decimal place over one spot. Doing so would have zero effect on the economy.

The way in which inflation is actually implemented, however, is vastly different. It transfers purchasing power from savers to banks, from the middle class to the rich elite.

Currency debasement, as it is implemented and was designed to do, taxes the money people save up for a large purchase like
1. A house
2. A business
3. A car
4. College tuition
5. Medical expenses

And in doing so, it vastly diminishes what the saver can buy for his hard earned money. The financial loss of the working man is the banker's gain. He gets to buy a third yacht, while the working man goes from being able to buy a 3,000 sq. ft. house to having to live in a 1,000 sq.ft. house. That's the difference.

The message being,don't mess with Democrats?

The voters may be different, but the party platforms are the same in every issue that actually matters to the well being of the country and the economy.

The drug wars are to provide an easy source of black money for our intelligence agencies to use for world wide agenda pursuit and domestic freedom suppression. That's really all there is to it.

wrong. the percentage of white on white crime is far greater than black on white crime. ( don't forget to count 'white collar crime' you jackass )

Statistically heterosexuals are responsible for 98% of all crimes.

Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK
by Gerald Posner

I'm with ya BGA. I believe the Texas mafia stuck a false flag up Kennedy's ass.

bgamall4 says

Texas oil mafia was to blame for the assassination of John Fitgerald Kennedy.

There is no reason on earth for anyone in Texas to have disliked Kennedy.

For one thing he was creating the space program and building a huge budget most of which would go into southern states like Texas and Alabama. In fact, Johnson was pushing it even as Vice President because he saw it as a "new industrial revolution" and jobs creation engine for the South.

when the same number of people using arms now equals the number that used arms in 2006, we will hit peak bubble.

Well this guy shot Kennedy then some other dude shot that dude, then that dude died of Cancer a year after he was convicted.

Sounds like the Cancer was in on it all along and cleaned up the all the lose ends quite nicely don't you think?

waiting_for_the_fall says

Nope

Sells books and some make a career out of it...

no mafia could pull off the cover up. here's now it went down.

the Military Industrial Complex wanted JFK dead so they could escalate the Vietnam war, a war that wasn't meant to be won but profited. they probed into LBJ's past and saw a bunch of skeletons in the closet. they had their next puppet president that would do everything they asked.

their CIA guys carried out the assassination (Howard Hunt, one of the hitmen, confessed on deathbed), their FBI guys (JEH) did the cover up. they setup a phony Warren Commission to do a phony investigation and cover up with their lone gunman theory.

http://www.rense.com/general76/hunt.htm

what pawns like Hunt didn't know was that both LBJ and JEH answered to a higher power, the power that owns this country. those guys alone wouldn't be able to do crap without facing consequences.

if you are concerned over black money and freedom suppression, then you would be infavor of bombing the coke and heroin fields.. how can you not be.

good question to ask why Clinton ended the war on drugs since we were wining it with our military assets.

foxmannumber1 says

When a drug dealer is arrested, there are multiple charges. These charges are usually parole violation, assault and battery, robbery, breaking and entering, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with

the intent to distribute, felon in possession of a firearm, firearm used in commission of a felony, felonious assault(pointing the weapon), attempted murder(using the weapon) and the list goes on and on.

The drug dealer is then offered a plea deal: Plead guilty to only the drug charges, receive a stiff sentence and all the other charges will be dropped OR go to trial for all of it and once convicted they're pretty much done for life. They always take the plea deal because the evidence is usually overwhelming and they know they were caught red handed.

and very often .. too often they are members of organized crime. would the people today be complaining that we locked up all the Italian Mobsters from the Don down to the street thugs. no of course not... but they are the same Crips, Bloods, Ms13 et c etc They are all violent members of organized crime. So yes, they do belong behind bars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_gangs_in_the_United_States

Gangs in the United States include several types of groups, including national street gangs, local street gangs, prison gangs, motorcycle gangs, and ethnic and organized crime gangs. Approximately 1.4 million people were part of gangs as of 2011, and more than 33,000 gangs were active in the United States.

Many American gangs began, and still exist, in urban areas. In many cases, national street gangs originated in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and New York, and they later migrated to other American cities such as Atlanta, Memphis, Orlando,Houston, and Detroit.

American gangs are responsible for an average of 48% of violent crime in most jurisdictions, and up to 90% in other jurisdictions. Major urban areas and their suburban surroundings experience the majority of gang activity, particularly gang-related violent crime.

Gangs are known to engage in traditionally gang-related gambling, drug trafficking, and arms trafficking, white collar crime such as counterfeiting, identity theft, and fraud, and non-traditional activity of human trafficking and prostitution.

It's just pretend currency for criminal enterprise to launder the money. Why would an average person buy into this scam is beyond me...

Credit cards. Worse then sub-prime loans.

Ahhhh.... I know the reason!

People had to send in their first premium payment for their Obamacare insurance (which just went up). So, that just used up their disposable income they were going to use for their new car payment....

Isn't that a responsible thing to do? Spending limited funds on healthcare, rather than a new car you may not need?
I even have health insurance for my German Shepherd. $350 annual premium. What's that? 100 trips to Taco Bell?

Walked by 4 dealerships at 7pm last night. Not one customer. This was in LA County South Bay Area....probably one of the wealthiest areas in the US.

I was going to get a new car just before the new year. But then I thought to myself "why bother." My current car runs just fine.

Call it Crazy says

Oh come on... Don't be a cheapskate... Do your part for America and buy a new car!!! I did!!

I prefer to call myself responsible with my money. I also pay cash for a car. Nope, maybe next year.

Weird: I can swear I've heard a very upbeat report re car sales on NPR this morning.
