thursday humor

since these brain-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-axxxxxxxxxxxx (that's humor my peeps) think the world is only a couple of thousands of years old (and they also think that animated movies about penguins promote THE GAY AGENDA) of course they think we can 'evolve' in a matter of 50 years

Michael Medved says something dumb
by PZ Myers
Did someone declare this National Flaming Racist Idiot week, and I just didn't notice until now? You have got to read Michael Medved's latest foray into pseudoscience: he has declared American superiority to be genetic, encoded in our good old American DNA. Because our ancestors were immigrants, who were risk-takers, who were selected for their energy and aggressiveness. Oh, except for those who are descended from slaves.
The idea of a distinctive, unifying, risk-taking American DNA might also help to explain our most persistent and painful racial divide - between the progeny of every immigrant nationality that chose to come here, and the one significant group that exercised no choice in making their journey to the U.S. Nothing in the horrific ordeal of African slaves, seized from their homes against their will, reflected a genetic predisposition to risk-taking, or any sort of self-selection based on personality traits.
But, he hastens to add, modern African-American genetics have been leavened with the genes of recent, self-selected immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa, so their unfortunate stay-at-home genes have a "less decisive influence".
As is usual for Medved, a dullard incapable of any kind of thought beyond ..........
