“Centenarians are considerably less diverse than the overall U.S. population. In 2010, some 82.5 percent of centenarians were white, versus 72.4 percent of the total population.”
America dominates women’s soccer for the same reason South Korea dominates women’s golf: because nobody else cares.
I don’t know if this is included in “caring more”, but US women have an advantage in many sports because of something that barely exists outside the US: college sports. Most countries in the world don’t have a paid, four year training program for female athletes. Slowly professional men’s teams are starting to support similar programs for women, but they’re still years, even decades behind.
US men don’t have a similar advantage because in many sports in the rest of the world, professional men’s teams have well-developed and sometimes well-funded youth programs for identifying and nurturing talent.
Sure they would. If the boys were from Munich, Turin, or the bairros and várzeas of São Paulo.
The US Men’s national team wouldn’t have to go “all out” to defeat a team of U-15 boys.
Not even then. No 14 year old is prepared to compete with full-time, full-grown male professionals of international caliber.
Always love the “you need to watch this movie/TV show or read this book/article/blog so you can educate yourself on the TRUTH!” lecture. Besides the obvious absurdity of the notion, I’ve often wondered how someone like Harris or Ava DuVernay would respond if I or Steve or another white person were to saunter up to them and say “I understand what it is to be a young black man in the American justice system, I learned it from a book!”
Apparently nobody’s ever told them about things like the Freshman Fifteen or LUGs.

The problem with the double standard is that it reeks of dishonesty. Men attempt to justify it on the grounds that partner count is correlated with divorce for women but not men. I fail to see the relevance of this. If men really believe that fornication is that damaging to women, then they should support criminalization. Say what you will about Islamic law, but...
And I suspect that many of the men are playing to a double standard bid — but that is hardly an excuse for you to support something less merely because so many are<
at least it's even-handed. Essentially, they claim that premarital sex is just as damaging to women as forcible rape. (You're either ruined or not.) Yet, vehemently resist any penalty to men, who, after all, are usually the ones who are most insistent about it. Indeed, there is not one single other issue on which men agree that the more reluctant accomplice is the guiltier.Now, on surrender, I couldn't agree more with your view that we shouldn't reject chastity as an ideal. The problem is that uncompromising perfection is the enemy, not the ally, of the good. One of the things I learned about prostitution in Asia is that it can sometimes start with a housekeeping job. The "man of the house" demands sexual favors as a condition of continued employment. Feeling helpless, the woman acquiesces. Then, she comes to see herself as a "damaged goods. Then, she decides, "Well, I'm already a prostitute, so I might as well make better money at it so I can help out my relatives or sve for the future or whatever." This also happens with weight.

Cambridge University has been accused of racism for allowing a non-black lecturer to read aloud the N-word from a passage in class, as a PhD student quits in protest.
The 800-year-old institution was criticised by 26-year-old Indiana Seresin who said that as a white student, she had “benefited from the structural racism” of the university.
In a “withdrawal statement” that she published online, Ms Seresin explained that she felt she had an “imperative” to leave Cambridge where she had been working on a Government funded doctorate about contemporary American artists and writers.
... She also cited the case last year where a Cambridge academic went on strike after claiming that a porter’s refusal to call her “doctor” is racist.
... She went on to read Comparative Literature and Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard University, and then completed an MA at Cambridge before starting her doctorate.

The top 20%, self -motivated and skilled at the start, may have learned some new tricks and been given a greater confidence, but most were on the success tangent anyhoo.
The middle 60% hasn’t been transformed into the top 20%. They too may have learned a few tricks and gotten a confidence boost, but their future prospects are probably more dependent on circumstance than anything else: if they land somewhere that suits their existing skills and mindset, good. If not, they’ll struggle mightily, unless they’re fortunate to find someone to help them adapt.
The bottom 20% are probably worse off. Bitter and resent of the authority that has tried for years to break them and re-mold them into “good students”, they’ve learned nothing useful except maybe how to get over and how to work the system, economically valuable skills, but nothing useful for society.

“While some may regard a pedestrian death toll as somehow unavoidable, the recent experience of European countries as a group suggests that there’s nothing about modern life (Europeans have high rates of car ownership and as many smart phones as Americans) that means the pedestrian death toll must be high and rising. In fact, at the same time pedestrian deaths have been soaring the US, they’ve been dropping steadily in Europe. In the latest nine year period for which European data are available, pedestrian deaths decreased from 8,342 to 5,320, a decline of 36 percent.”
“In the past decade, Europe and the US have reversed positions in pedestrian death rates. It used to be that the number of pedestrian deaths per million population were higher in Europe, now the US pedestrian death rate per million population is now 75 percent higher than in Europe.”

If this is truly a “solution”, then IQ is barely relevant, other than how much it helps tin cramming a bunch of pertinent-until-after-the-test information into one’s head and hold it there until test time (this is a “racial coded” question that will put many Asians and their parents in high dudgeon).
Of course, how much is “free universal test preparation” really going to help the large swath of students who can’t even puzzle out the comics page? What can it achieve that hundreds of other programs and billions of other misspent dollars have utterly failed to?
AI chaining meaningless Leninist phrases into a paragraph? It's the only way to explain this bullshit.
Chickens of this character never come home to roost. They have to be pursued and forced to face the light of the new dawn. There is no container on Earth large enough to conceal the dust and debris of the crime. Beneficiaries enriched by slave-based economies and societies and their descendants and inheritors have always wished to discredit and bury the evidence.
After conclusion of the successful Alaskan death camp program, there is now African chattel enslavement in the polar circle. The nooses around mooses give it away I guess.
In the Americas, from Alaska to Argentina, every white-controlled society was determined to genocidally dispose of Indigenous people and to proceed to build social and production systems on the basis of African chattel enslavement.
The Black Vibranium Dreadnoughts of the Great Wakandian Atlantic Fleet will hunt for reparations wherever they may hide, in the ocean that no longer is an ocean.Does the ACLU examine its writers for signs of psychosis?Replies: @Oleaginous Outrager, @sayless
Black peoples’ courageous struggle for freedom post-Middle Passage, and their persistent demand for reparations, are more than sequential streams flowing toward an inevitable sea of justice. The mighty Atlantic that separates the old and new worlds could not absorb so much Black blood and remain just an ocean. No planet could absorb that much pain and remain the same. The global crime of Black enslavement converted the Atlantic into a theater where the epic drama for reparations will be staged.
Such grandiloquence that drives itself straight into a ditch (an ocean is a theater for a political struggle? ‘Neptune’s Follies present “Where My Money At?: A Reparations Dramatization!”‘), must have something to do with his cricket background. Possibly related to all the rubbing of the ball against one’s crotch.

Somebody please to be telling me, are the Arabs ‘indigenous’ to the Levant and North Africa? Or are they “fellow white people’ for the purposes of this harangue? What about the Mongols? Was the Bantu Expansion just a bunch of guys crashing on their friends’ couches? Does he know anything about Asia or the sub-continent?

So who gets the Pyramids?
My whole life he was a fixture in the Philadelphia media market because Wilmington (where essentially all of the population of Delaware is) is right down I-95, so much so that he used to joke about being "Pennsylvania's third Senator."
Joe has no chance because he’s a mumbling buffoon. Seriously, have you heard him speak lately? The guy on Twitter who said “he sounds like his mouth just fell down the stairs” nailed it.
There was a video on Twitter (not the same one I referenced) where he’s talking about his becoming an old man and it sounds exactly like he’s having a TIA in the middle of a sentence. It’s quite cringeworthty.
However you want to look at it, the net result is you’ve wasted years of your life and money you’ll never get back for worthless paper.
LOL
Are there any sociologists who are employable in any productive enterprise?
“I’m structurally incapable of getting up before noon.”
any sociologist would do just fine in marketing, advertising or the HR function of most corporations
So, in fact, nothing productive, just more time sinks and paper shuffles, when not actively converging companies.
Meh, hair care issues. Are y’all becoming black women?

I wouldn't say "no chance", but basically agree. He's an even older white guy than Trump and not as sharp and it shows.

Jews get a bad rap for putative sexual perversion, but that reeks of jealousy to me!
I see nothing to indicate that the sex had to be free, just that it had to have occurred in the last year.
So then let's stop pretending women won't marry lower-status blue collar men. It's a lie.Replies: @Oleaginous Outrager
A public school teacher in many states is required to earn a masters degree (bureaucratic featherbedding), but isn’t often paid anything more. (She) may have a blue-collar husband that makes more money.
It’s a long way from ‘never’ to ‘often’.

As long as it is with fellow 14-16 year olds
“They can’t legally drink, drive or vote, but they should be free to fuck!” Unassailable logic you’re sporting there, chief.
All in on teen pregnancy as a solid start to family formation too, I’ll wager.
they’re competing for the same jobs
Still buying the “they’re all coming here to work really, really hard” myth, are we?
It seems remarkable how few people understand what will matter most in November 2020, and probably well before that, is the state of the economy. I know the normalcy basis among Americans is always strong, but do people really think 2008-9 can’t come again? Hell, a repeat is long overdue.
And the second hominid that learned to speak said to the first over a meal of raw hyrax, “You know, Oog, it’s all downhill from here. We’re getting in on the end of a good thing.”
The Monroe Doctrine was largely successful
For whom? Not for any western hemisphere nation that wasn’t the US or Canada, and now that sort dimbulb jingoism is coming back to bite us hard.
Generally America was able to rise easily because it wasn’t in Europe
What are the two things that made America great? Not liberty and industriousness, but the Atlantic and the Pacific.

They found a suspect too quickly. If they had blamed “a bearded white man in his 40s”, like in the joke that was the Jazmine Barnes debacle, this might have got a little more play before being buried.
Is it “white supremacist” to hire an editor? This takes TL;DR into previously uncharted territory.
When the whites are driven out, as in Detroit or Zimbabwe, or killed off, as in Haiti, the blacks end up with, well, Detroit, Zimbabwe and Haiti.
If we’re going to try and paint ourselves as the reasonable side in the argument, we have to concede that Haiti was a hellish death pit even when the whites were there. French colonies were always the most nakedly rapacious murder factories, and the legacy lives on: former Francophone colonies are routinely the most deadly and dysfunctional places around today (Hello, Haiti! Cheerio, Central African Republic! Salut, Côte d’Ivoire!).
