Us is not the sort of people for whom the term "unemployable" was coined.

Us is not the sort to get stinking drunk, smash things, and throw rocks and bottles at both Us and non-Us. Us is not the sort to stab random strangers for no particular reason.

Us pays taxes to make possible welfare programs and rehab centers. And prisons. Us is not the consumer of these services. Them is the consumer of these services. Some of Us would like to pay less tax for such things. Some of Us would very much like to see Them get Their friggin' act together. And by the way, since "Us" is defined the fact that Us has its act together, this would be equivalent to Them being transformed into Us.

But few of Us have the steel to do what it would take to make Them get Their act together. And no, asking nicely won't do it. Offering a leg up won't do it. Even moderate physical force won't do it. These things have all been tried, without much positive result.

But if you honestly prefer the company of Them to the company of Us, that's your business. Just be damn sure that's what you want. And be careful. Them is not likely to appreciate your company. You see, Them doesn't take kindly to strangers invading Them's turf. Especially not condescendingly tolerant and openminded ones. Them hates being tolerated. Don't ask why. Questions of motive are meaningless here. Them-ites are not rational beings.

And the situation with Muslim haters of the West is similar in general outline. But more dangerous, as Them2 is smarter than Them.

You're thinking of everything in terms of genetics. We're more than just self-replicating DNA.

There's also upbringing. In fact, that's precisly what I'm trying to address. I'm not denying that some segments of the BI are, well,lacking in genetic diversity, due to family trees that are more like lattices than tree structures. But that's not the root of the problem. Certain people are actually brought up to be stupid and/or evil. They're not born that way. They're made that way. That's the problem. And in the case of the terrorists, it's a problem that threatens our own safety.

In the case of the BI, we might be able to afford them a measure of tolerance. Even if it kills them. Tolerance is just a word for not dealing with things. But that's not an option with suicide bombers and the memes that spawn them. To tolerate attempts to kill you is never a good policy.
