again you miss the point, many people are failed by the education system, i.e they have a learning difficulty and didnt get the extra help they needed (learning difficulties again are genetic) is it really fair to slam them for not being able to do better? |
Doesn't equating learning difficulty to genetics implies intelligence is also geneticly related?
The next step donwn that slippery slope is racism; some races are geneticly smarter then others. Is that rreally where you want to go?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
