Japanese vs Americans during a disaster.

Welfare doesn't crush, not knowing what to do with leisure crushes.

How much genuine advanced exposure have you had to welfare, the machine that feeds it, and it's recipients?

You need to go down to the hood and find a hood rat and hang out with her for a year. Then come back and tell me welfare does not crush everything that is human.

In all my time growing up, I never heard or read about a single murder in the area. Recently, there was a rape/home invasion/robbery. A mother was raped and had her head blown off during a home invasion. The perps? Haitian refuge savages. This is a simple anecdotal story yet in this case it is consistent with the statistical facts (just read the link I posted about NYC crime).

You grew up in Chicago and you never heard or read about a single murder in the area?

You must be living under a rock for sure.

Chicago is in top 3 cities in the world (not in the us, in the world) in crime.

I am not convinced. If "free" money necessarily crushes, then societies that are even more generous with welfare should be crushed. The lucky who inherit (or win) wealth and a life of leisure should be crushed. (Ok, some of them are.) Even those who work themselves into financial independence should be, when the necessity for work stops, crushed. Unless there is something else going on...

Quote from achilles28:

It's obvious real anatomical differences exist between races. The brain and it's wiring is as much a part of our biology as the number of fast twitch muscle fibers or the size of the male penis. According to IQ and Wealth of Nations, by nationality, South East Asians are top of the food chain. However, by ethnicity, I would argue Jews are the most intelligent, with honorable mention going to Northern Europeans. Specifically, Germans. This centuries revolutionary breakthroughs were spawned mostly from Germanic minds, many of which were Jewish - guided rocketry, the jet engine, theory of relativity, atomic weapons/power, space flight.

That said, I think Africans underscore, in part, due to lack of basic education and nutritional deficiencies. Raise a European like a ferrel child then test them. The outcome is predictable. Also, culture plays a huge role in shaping personality - enriching or destructive values, habits and behaviors. Mainstream North American black culture has basically gone to hell. But it's only done so recently. In the 50's and 60's, blacks were notably upright, moral, well-spoken and valued formal education. As an entire nation, American culture has degenerated remarkably since then. Black culture, even more so.

It's the East Asians (Japan, Korea, Taiwan and parts of China) who are said to be the smartest, not Southeast Asians (Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia etc.).

The jews have invented things but they are not nearly as smart and inventive as you claim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inventors).

As for Africans, countries such as Finland are home to quite many (specifically Somalians). It's definitely a welfare state with a great education system, stringent anti-racism laws and no nutrition problems, even still - the Somalians brought up in Finland end up in gangs, rapes and gun crime very often.

The act of working for the money changes the cultural paradigm right there.

If hood rats are not your "flavor", then go and find the nearest trailer park, many of the women behave in a similar manner. People on generational welfare truly believe that the money will never stop, and that they are entitled, as victims. Working the system is their job. They have no idea about taxpayers, because they don't know anyone who has ever actually paid taxes.
