It is amazing how people who claim to win debates through personal insults, as opposed to evidence, continue to engage in more personal insults, which simply proves my point, not theirs.

Oh, well, I have yet to run across a smart science-denier.

If one could call being wiped all over the floor a 'personal insult'. That's debateable.

VT: You have never once wiped anyone all over the floor. I'm not the only one here who has noticed that your comments are childish, irrational and without any logical coherence. You can continue to ignore genetics, and you can continue to claim that your childish insults show you "winning" debates. Outside of people who are poorly educated and not too bright, no one else is going to believe in such delusional claims from you.

I've also stated I'm done responding to you as you are insane, as you admitted you believe in the crazy comments you have written here. Yet, you continue to obsess over me, when I have never addressed any comments to you. I want absolutely nothing to do with you, any more than I would want to hang around Alex Jones or David Duke. If you were an adult with some level of maturity, you would leave me alone.

If you don't want to be argued with then fuck off and don't post shallow rubbish. And don't make up imaginary 'arguments' and attribute them to me--you might not realise it but posts can be seen quite clearly by anyone.
As a matter of fact pretty much every comment I make on here is in response to someone who hasn't directly addressed me.
The only one getting 'personal' is you. If I see holes in an argument I will point them out. If I see a good argument I will point that out too, including yours. You really need to grow up.
Oh, and claiming to speak for others doesn't wash on here.

No. By definition, race is about ancestry. That can't be changed like a physical trait.

Why would a person choose an supposedly destructive concept such as race in order to benefit himself as a bearer of 'equality' as attempting to be a certain race he is not? Supposedly acknowledging that race itself exists leads to a problem of racism. According to people who say race doesn't exist, this seems to be a problem, as a racist could be non-racist by being racist!

I don't understand what you just said, because it was so awkwardly written, but when people say race doesn't exist, they usually just mean that it's not an exact science like the way the layman understands it. It's not at all guaranteed that my black neighbor is any closer to original african descent than I am, in spite of his skin color.

I discriminate between myself and every other consciousness. You are not me, and I favour me. Everything else is superfluous.

White ancestry is based in central Asia, before entering into Europe. There is a reason we are called caucasoid.

I'm not sure that's quite the point OP is trying to make.

I was ensuring clarification on the matter.
