Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Erm, careful there.
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.

New Nurture VS nature..
Agreed on that one. YAN reminder about South Pacific - a highly popular musical of yesteryear, which included the song, You have to be carefully taught [to hate].

To obtain a license to do a local production: you HAD to include this song, or not be allowed to perform the play. Possibly one of the few times where an 'artist' possesses power to assure a *complete* performance.. or none.

I also believe the artist correct: children only ever learn to hate via parent-conditioning and (school?) environment adjuncts. Most religions help a lot, of course - especially the dustier often unread parts.

No one knows how to break That chain, alas - the cure is as bad as the disease: homogenization and State control. :[

(Yeah, it was hoped that 'education' might.. But close personal example trumps every time)

New Re: Nurture VS nature..

Yup agree with you both.

A well 'bred' child can learn to be excellent at exercising prejudice & hate. Might even do it better than a genetically inferior human.

The waffle in my earlier post was an aside taking a poke at how we humans know the importance of good blood lines except when it comes to humans :-)

Cheers
