Comment Just get off the ride (Score 1) 151

I think Iâ(TM)d rather just move somewhere with cheap land, get my own plot, and start a self-sustaining home farm with some vegetables and small animals. Probably the same work hours, but Iâ(TM)d be healthier (quite possibly jacked) and happier and more accomplished, and I wouldnâ(TM)t have to put up with some bozo manager and dog-eat-dog coworkers.

Youâ(TM)re right of course, regardless of how many people on here disagree. The real question is ⦠if you take the selected population out of their specialized environment and put them back into their original environment, are they more or less likely to survive? If they are less likely to survive in environments other than the specific one they were selected for, itâ(TM)s not evolution. Itâ(TM)s simply a loss of genetic diversity due to natural selection.

African-American ... is the term generally accepted by educated and cultured people in the United States.

Don't equate PC mainstream media with "educated" or "cultured". I'd say maybe 5% of the people in the US use the term "African-American". "African-American" is the term used by those that like to think they are better than the culture. This does not make them cultured.
