I had eleven Red Buffington laying hens and I would ociasionaly add hens to the coop when we needed more eggs..All big reds- One time I got one that had a white feather on it and the other hens pecked it to death on her first night in the coop. I was told they did it because of the white feather, she was different. Now I know I call ya a birdbrain all the time Fred but surely you're smarter than a chicken aren't ya? That hen with the white feather was no threat, there was no reason for the other hens to feel threatened

The research speaks for itself...And other similar studies have confirmed similar results, including lack of compassion (sociopathic behavior), and strident, rule-based authoritarian behavior that tends to regard all who are not like them as inferior.
These "people" are the reason the human race is constantly at war...Other people are their enemies, if you think about it nothing could be more absurd.

Good points..Its weak and insecure people, and you don't necesarily have to be dumb to be weak and insecure..But I've determined thany many of the conservatives here are dumb, weak and insecure.. They hit the trifecta of bad traits..There's nothing worse than a scared dog, they'll bite anything, even the hand that feeds them.
Should be put down so they don't breed in my opinion
Typical Republican male- Who would want to be around it?

You like his daughter on the left? Vice Lord... why do you let your 14-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids?
Thats TPP, Martin Inc and Outdoor right before the Rubber Duck race at Bailey Days last summer.. You can see they have their games faces on already-They are starring down the competition here..There's a bunch of little kids just across the way
VL, what is your problem. It is not okay to be racist but it is okay to talk about it. You want to change things then talk about it.
I lived with an African american family in my mid teens. We all handled it fine and it was an interesting learning experience but the way we all dealt with it, we just went on with life. My brother and I were the minority in the family. Over reacting to comfortableness and painting with broad brushes are not the way to deal with it. JMO.

Yes I do. LOL :jk2:
Of course CG- It's obvious to everyone that you're a good person-And I know you're a republican tea partier too- Bless your heart, you just don't any better
VL, I am not a tea partier in any way. Just FYI. Most of my social beliefs would be described as liberal. Not all though. I am only a republican right now because I don't want to not vote in the primary.
We might consider that the definition of what constitutes racism has broadened greatly within the past few years. As an example, disagreement with political policy has qualified as racism. Lack of favoriism qualifies as racism. It is crazy and dishonest.

+1.
Some of the eugenics people were quite bright but also quite racist.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
The problem with making generalization is that you can always find exceptions to the rule.
I'd like to know what constitutes junk science. Aren't we judgmental because we disagree with the proposed concept that IQ may be involved. How can you be so sure? Have you gone out and canvased populations to come to your conclusions? What is your sample size relative to that of the "junk science". Would it not be prudent to keep an open mind on this matter?
Well..Last night I bet Derrick Rose OVER 22 points, Danilio Gallarnari OVER 19 points, and Nene Over 22 Total Points and Rebounds...We watched the game,s at the Mardi Gras in Hollywood Beach Florida during dinner and drinks and I won them all..I wake up this morning only to discover I checked the wrong box and actually bet Nene UNDER, so I only won 2 outta 3- Thats a 1000 dollar swing! That mistake cost me $1000 I thought I had banked..I was so F-ing mad
I'm over it thanks to Wyoming -1 killing Boise State a minute ago- And I just caught a small shark off the deck of the house were renting
