It's not genetics, it's environment

[llll]

If a full grown Polar Bear can be raised to be a pet, do you really think a person of any race, can't be raised to be a decent human being?



If you take a person of any race, let's say an indian person, and raise him in an environment full of white people, he's going to act like a white person.

If you take a white person and raise him in an environment full of indian people. He's going to act like an indian person.

You ignorant thick headed racist morons.

well said man

viewing people that were raised in a different environment, or in a different culture, as lesser human beings... is ******ity beyond belief

it makes you wonder how we survived this long

animals are amazing... and are often better people than humans

only nationalism is ******er than racism

Genetics play a huge role.

And do you really believe in the right environment Hitler would have been a peace loving humanitarian, and in a bad environment MLK would have been a violent murder rapist thug?

Obviously yeah, there were certain events and certain series of events that made them develop the ideas they had and influenced their behavior and decisions.

If you put hitler and MLK in completely different environments they would have turned out completely different.

If hitler grew up in 1980s compton, do you really think he would have become a ******* totalitarian? He would probably be bumping tupac. If MLK was born in the mongol plains during the genghis khan era, he would have been murdering chinese people.

There's no *** hating gene and there's no civil rights activist gene.

As a young person, you can somewhat be a product of your environment...this analogy holds true somewhat with pets as well.

But once you become an adult, you begin to lead yourself and be more of your own master...forming your own thoughts and perhaps becoming a vastly different person than you were as a youth.

Also...showing a couple cute pics or videos of the polar bear not mauling a person is not exactly evidence that environment is the only important thing in an animal or child's life...eventually for many animals, and humans, nature takes over and they end up attacking someone, often times a loved one for little or no reason...happens with dangerous dog breeds all the time.

I do agree that a positive environment can help some people and animals...and a negative one can be detrimental...but genetics are still a huge factor in the development of an animal and child...and to suggest otherwise is very wishful thinking and naive, imho.

LOL at the visual of Hitler bumping Tupac & MLK killing chinese folks.

But yea I agree with all that although those extreme examples are bound to get mfers disagreeing with you. Sh^t man you throw Jack Black or Andy **** in those Khan days & they are either killing mfers or their head is on a stake. Those were the choices.

I mean some people/groups are different...not necessarily saying some are better or worse, but to argue that we are all exactly the same is very foolish imo.

We are all equal I believe...but that doesn't mean we are exactly the same in every way...some could be better in some ways and worse in others.

And to ignore certain differences within certain groups, and to presume that all of these different groups, with different languages/cultures/traditions/customs etc, can get along so easily, is very very naive.

Of course there will be conflict when you group disparate groups together and expect them all to get along...for 99.9% of human history btw, people have exclusively grouped themselves with others who are almost identical to them...same race, religion, customs, traditions, language, beliefs, morals, ethics etc...that is how most people want to live, with people whom they feel comfortable and have things in common.

To presume that all different groups can get along if placed in the same environment is arguing that the only issue in some groups is a poor environment...it also says that some groups inherently have better culture and environment, yet you feel that the groups who have the worse environment and cultures etc should be allowed entry into the better environments.

That is a very selfish way of thinking, and also again you are implicitly saying that some groups are better than others...and it is your or another group's right to benefit from the better environment that another group has created.

Very disgusting line of thought to be honest...no offense man.

******ity is the bane of mankind

the presence of mindlessly ****** morons... lowers the quality of life - and rate of progression - for everyone else

I literally object to sharing the planet with little ***wits like Boxing1013
