Thank you ... well that makes sense although I had assumed it was the Swedish or Germans who had the most Indo-European genes.

In the natural state man has been beset by homosexuality since, roughly, forever. Even if you don't believe the Bible being the true Word of God, you have to admit the Book of Genesis is at least four thousand years old. To describe Sodom and Gomorrah the writer had to have some contact with an advanced level of, ahem, "gay culture". The ancient Greeks certainly had different and conflicting ideas on the practice and propriety of it, but it was well described, at least several hundred years before Christ.

But homosexuals have always been a tiny minority and though they often had a disproportionate influence they were never really in control of things-except in a tiny number of places where things didn't turn out well in short order. Healthy societies may leave homosexuals alone but they don't let them run things and keep them out of positions of real power and influence.

I predict Apple Computer will be a massively reduced company or not exist at all in a decade or so based on nothing more than Tim Cook being 1) incapable of having created what he runs and 2) yes, gay. There are many other reasons, too, but I suspect 1 and 2 are sufficient. Time will tell if I am right or wrong. But I'm not buying Apple stock.

I might hire a known homosexual for a job in which homosexuals typically do well but I would not hire one for any position of serious responsibility or in which he or she might have to interact with what I consider vulnerable members of the community. That's probably actually illegal, or would open me to civil sanction were it publicized. So be it.

It does seem that female homosexuality does differ in the respect that it's much more situational than the male version. I have female family members that had dalliances with "being lesbians" then "straightened out". They have stayed straightened out. They are grandmothers now and their grandkids have no idea and I hope it stays that way.

Men who are gay stay gay. My church has had a gay-man-to-straight ministry for some time and my private thought is that it wastes everyone's time and annoys the gay, so to speak. Worse, some of these guys have "gone straight" and married , fathered kids, then "fallen off the p***ywagon" (sorry, I know it's a sin, but I couldn't resist that mixed metaphor!!) and went back to rump rangering leaving a devastated wife and kids in a bad situation to say the least. I don't have the answer, there probably isn't one. Maybe the Catholics were half right-make them priests, but in an order with little public contact instead of diocese priests around all that pubescent chicken.

And "he feels he has not received as nearly as much hate mail he would have gotten if he were a woman", because of course this isn't a virtual-signalling hypothetical load of cobblers, but unassailable truth.

Of course, he's probably receiving zero hate mail himself, as everything I've seen indicates Stephens is the only one getting dogpiled. Hell, even braindead AOC gave him a slap on Twitter.

A google search for that, or for 'Christmas' itself, yields a cartoon of a red-suited Santa helping a dark-skinned child get a star on top of a Christmas tree.

Does this qualify as pro-Christmas? It is certainly pro-Santa. At least it's not blacked-out like Easter has been for twenty years running.

'Google Doodle' wiki sez:

Every year since 1999, Google has used a special international doodle as either one logo, or several interconnected logos, spanning at least the day of December 25 (sometimes beginning as early as December 20, and ending as late as December 27). Many of the logos have had winter themes, despite it being summer in the Southern Hemisphere, but few have had explicitly Christmas themes, opting for generic gift-giving instead. Google has rarely if ever used the word "Christmas" in relation to these Doodles, though multiple news sources have.[34][35] Google has used terminology including "season's greetings", "happy holidays", "'tis the season", "end of year", and "holiday series" to describe the Doodles.
 

He did very well.

The up side for Lindsey is that we would never believe it if a women accused him.

Perhaps they did, but he was authentically angry in saying what needed to be said. And what NEEDS to be said, over and over through November and into 2020. And yet he showed some empathy to that Soros operative, of which I would be totally incapable.

I respect Rodman for investigating the matter personally.

Late-breaking news:

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who has traveled several times to North Korea and is one of the few Americans to have met its leader, is praising President Donald Trump for planning a summit with Kim Jong Un.

Rodman tells The Associated Press he looks forward to returning to the pariah nation for "basketball diplomacy" in the coming months.

He says: "Well done, President Trump. You're on the way to a historical meeting no U.S. president has ever done."

Rodman adds, "Please send my regards to Marshal Kim Jong Un and his family."

From the article:

Yet he found much to admire in the most murderous ideology of the 20th century, responsible for tens of millions of deaths from the killing fields of Cambodia to the gulags of Murmansk.

If you’re Jewish in America, chances are there’s at least one Uncle Bern somewhere in your family tree. As the scholar Ruth Wisse noted last year in Tablet magazine, Jewish intellectual life in the 1930s and 40s was largely defined by one’s stance toward one thing: The Party.
 

A tiny handful of others — including atomic spies Julius Rosenberg, David Greenglass, Harry Gold and Morton Sobell — betrayed America’s most important military secrets to Stalinist Russia and did incalculable damage to the country and the world.

Here’s a thought experiment: Would the United States have been better off if it had banned Jewish immigration sometime in the late 19th century, so that the immigrant parents of Rosenberg and Sobell had never set foot here?
 

In 1914, Edward Alsworth Ross, the famous progressive sociologist from the University of Wisconsin, called Jews “moral cripples” whose “tribal spirit intensified by social isolation prompts them to rush to the rescue of the caught rascal of their own race.”
 

Another Waugh fan.

Right.
Steve was right too with his prophecy, that the doodle will be a subject in this case. Now it has happened. Cudos!

Google expresses concern with their earnestness: See: We would have loved not to kick this man out, but we had to. And of course it's not fun to run a company that is obviously biased against women. Therefor we are ashamed today, and to show our sadness, we sacrifice our lightheadedness (= the doodle).

(They have to admit this last point, because - you know: They don't allow arguments against it...).

Certainly the most undercovered of his ideas.

Black Fight leads to White Flight. Ironically, whites turn black in mentality when there are too many blacks. They think 'run like a mothafuc*a'.

American Pastoral covers some of Newark Riots, and it shows America really changed in that era.

So, Detroit has two meanings. It is a specific city and a metaphor. There is Detroit and 'Detroit', just like there are Palestinians and 'Palestinians'. The recent anti-BDS move by ADL and AIPAC is so much like anti-Pan-Europeanism by the same people. And just like Palestinians got ethnically cleansed, whites are getting 'Palestinianized' all across Europe due to 'refugee' influx' resulting from Wars for Israel.

Yep, agree, AT. I think there's a body of international law, too, that at least suggests to this non-lawyer that the "ethnic cleansing" of Whites from America's cities amounts to a crime. If there's a case to be made for the criminality of that "ethnic cleansing", I think it can be made in a calm, deliberate way that respects many, but not all, political sensitivities.

This can happen in non-violent ways too. In BC, the cities of Surrey and Richmond are effectively Punjabi/Sikh and Chinese, respectively.

Part of the High/Low coalition Steve has already written about. The foreign ringer so aren't just the low.

It's all ethnic cleansing.

Google reveals -

Typically, ancient Near Eastern scholars—especially those focusing on the Levant or on archaeology related to the Bible—subscribe to a date for the domestication of the camel between the end of the 12th century BC to sometime in the 9th century BC.

If there is one trait that is guaranteed to be undergoing positive natural selection in our current society and environment, it is the ability to have children later in life. Conversely, women who are genetically predisposed to early menopause are undergoing incredibly strong negative selection.
 

Read about humans, killer whales, and short-finned pilot whales. These are the only species where the females lose their ability to reproduce well before the end of their natural lifespan.

It has been a question for evolutionary theorists for many decades, what did infertile females contribute. The hypothesis was a "granny effect" of course, the problem was no one could ever demonstrate the effect or influence of one.

Until some research recently into orcas and short finned pilot whales, who also have male dominated bands and the young females leave and join other unrelated bands.

Pretty big news, actually, demonstrating a granny effect.

It is amazing how rare female menopause is in nature but how much we take it for granted in our human population.

Why? Richer descendants for those who breed later, maybe, but surely less numerous ones.

This would limit h1b numbers but with a workers rights spin.

Not really, most H-1B work is crap work like software testing and simple coding. Those guys don't get paid a lot no matter what happens. Nor do they have any specific skills that are in demand that only they posses. This would not in any way cause a drop in the use of H-1Bs. You are assuming that if a company cannot abuse an H-1B then they won't hire one. The fact that H-1Bs are willing to be treated like crap as it is and they keep on coming means an employer can come up with other ways to abuse them and they will still take it to get the job.

"I agree. I always thought the h1 b visa should be ‘worker centric’: a company can sponsor someone to come in, but once the worker is here are here they can get whatever job they want for the next five years. Would incentivize companies to not use visa holders like indentured servants and pay them competitively to keep them from being poached by the competition. This would limit h1b numbers but with a workers rights spin."

The U.S. constantly flogs itself because of our history of slavery, and yet today we have present American employers taking advantage of H-1B workers and illegal immigrants by paying them below market wages, knowing that these employees have limited or no other options. At some point in the future are we going to have to hear about our evil legacy of H-1B and illegal alien employees? Do people who complain about slavery not see any similarities to what's happening today - exploiting people of color? Will this be used as yet another reason to bash white people?

The defense lawyers may even bring it up during sentencing.

This assumes that Buddhism is the predominant religious system in Asia. It is not; there are only about 500 million adherents, and something like 2.5 to 3 billion people live there. Furthermore, there are many different brands.

Saying that Buddhism has a cultural reach from India to Japan because it derives from a thread of Hinduism is like saying that the Abrahamic faiths have a stretch all over the world, as though there are not major differences, and tensions, between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, or even among the many sects of these religions.

Buddhism died out in India in the 12th century. Geographically they are on the same continent but that's about it.

Why would the Alawites leave when Assad is keeping the others in check and Western Syria is relatively safe and prosperous? The little kid that died was a Kurd, for instance. I'm sure most refugees are Sunni who hate Assad's guts.

Nicholas Kristof -- who reveals that his father was a Rumanian refugee -- also weighs in on the crisis and the moral imperatives, etc. involved. And, not surprisingly, he proposed military intervention.

You can bet that they will vote to keep left wing parties in power, at least until until they have enough demographic weight to implement Sharia law.
 

Let's say that several million Muslims enter the European Union and most of them get citizenship. That still would only alter the demographics of the EU by about 1% , but it'd have the effect of shifting lots of left-wingers to support nationalist parties. If there are substantial defections, left-wing parties can't stay in power indefinitely.

Sometimes it's better when the heat is suddenly turned up.

Europe will suffer in the short term, but eventually nationalists will take control.
