Great stuff in the rest of this conversation.It's rare to scroll down and feel like it was worth my time. Thank you.

We're going to need a bigger basement.

sporty?

But all the speculations in this thread, over race and genetics, are not addressing the claims in the book. This is a separate discussion. You're all presuming the author was merely stating unpleasant truths. The only question relevant to this book is: was the author quote-mining to bolster a racist agenda, or not?

But if the study is flawed, including arbitrary numbers, further discussion is fairly pointless.

Another, more accurate way to state it, IMO: "I accept the theory". It is not a belief system, it is not another religion, and it is not a debate to be won.

The firing pin?

Won't nearly everyone in this thread fail because they forgot to type sudo ? :p

Somebody should give him William Lane Craig's address.

This guy must have been mentored by some prick who puts the average American through this kind of a crap on your standard American reality show.

TEACH THE CONTROVERSY!

You have apparently never been to California, where some of the world's brightest minds believe the most irrational nonsense. That goes double for Silicon Valley, where the unfortunate phrase "drank the Kool-Aid" was coined.

Radioshack is the place where grandma goes when her landline phone stops working.

There is not one single USB 3 device in Radio Shack: neither cables nor flash drives nor anything USB3.

The staff doesn't understand half of what they have in the back, where nerds go for an obscure item for a project.

They will try to sell you an extended warranty on a 5-dollar audio cable.

The coffin has a lot more nails, but I think four is enough to point out.

my fellow atheists, but this seems to be the case! I realize most of the comments aren't 100% serious, poking fun at the Bible belt. But Google Fiber can't even launch in many secular places like San Francisco, for the same reasons we see a move to stop Google Fiber from expanding there. This is all about the telecom/broadband providers trying to stifle a radically cheaper product than what the competition offers or wants to offer. And Google totally kills their bundle model with this offering.
