Not understanding how Wikipedia works
MoritzB -- you clearly do not understand how Wikipedia works. Individual personal opinion means nothing here. What counts is when contributors come up with credible scholarly critique, and cite proper reference to that critique. You are using lots of bandwidth but in every comment fail to come up with specific references to back up your personal opinions. The technical term for activity such as you are engaging is blowing wind. Skywriter 18:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- The quote by Koppler is issue is whether the quote by Koppler is I doubt whether it is 1)in the right section, 2) within the scope of the article. It has also been separated from its context and it is unclear which social policies Koppler refers to?
- Linda Gottfredson explains what is the prevailing mainstream view of race and intelligence and how massive, costly social programs fail their aims because they are based on flawed environmentalist hypothesis of IQ differences between the races:
- "Research on group differences in intelligence is scientifically valid and socially important (Hunt & Carlson, in press, p. 5). Hunt and Carlson are also to be commended for
- reporting basic facts on the science that others outside the field often deny or distort. Among the much-replicated empirical findings they mention are that IQ tests measure a
- general learning ability; they predict many kinds of life success to some degree; they measure cognitive ability equally well among American blacks and whites (no measurement :bias); and they predict academic achievement equally well in both groups (no prediction bias for that outcome). Additionally, large racial gaps in cognitive abilities and :achievements continue to create tradeoffs among goals for schools and employers; the important scientific question today is not whether races differ in (average) phenotypic :intelligence, but why; social environments are not just external, but (like IQ differences among individuals) have both genetic and environmental components; and race exists as a :biological entity, or continuum. Such conclusions are mainstream among specialists on human variation in intelligence.
- On political intimidation against reporting such findings, Hunt and Carlson agree that such attacks occur, are deplorable, and drive some investigators into professionally safer
- pursuits. They show how major social policies, such as the No Child Left Behind Act and U.S. employment discrimination law, can fail their aims and impose serious social and :economic costs when they disregard such knowledge and presume a contrary reality. (Gottfredson, 1997; Neisser et al., 1996)."
(Linda S. Gottfredson, Applying Double Standards to “Divisive” Ideas, p.2. In press, Perspectives on Psychological Science. December 2006)
- By the way, you have made a claim about the journal Intelligence. I made a refutation to your claim. Do you know agree with me about the journal?
- I'll answer on some of this: first, the journal Intelligence has on its board of editors a large number of researchers who are Pioneer Fund recipients, known for their racialist views. While not all the editors share this slant, there is good indication that there are enough of them to impart a slant on the articles published.
- Second the quote from Koppler is perfectly appropriate within this article, the only thing is that maybe it would gain from being summarizaed (if consensus agrees).
- Third, the prevailing mainstream view of race and intelligence as defined by Gottfredson is mostly the view of Pioneer Fund cronies like her. Unfortunately, very few unbiased scientists dedicate themselves to the study of "race and intelligence"; most study one or the other, and don't go looking for a link between the two.
- Lastly, while no one can argue that the B-W IQ gap doesn't exist, its significance is very controversial: does it represent a real intelligence differential, or is it an artefact of how we measure intelligence? And, even if a differential were to exist, is the cause of this gap genetic, environmental, a combination of both, and if a combination, how much of either? While according to the PF crowd, the answers to all these questions are a foregone conclusion (anything to prove Blacks are inferior), there are many, many scientists who think the answers are very different.
- Hope it helps. --Ramdrake 21:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- According to the survey done by Snyderman and Rothman 53% of the psychologists, sociologists, cognitive scientists, educators, and geneticists were in agreement that the black-white gap was entirely or partially genetic. Only 17% supported the environmentalist hypothesis. The sample was large (n=1,020). Very few of them were grantees of the Pioneer Fund.
- Thus, if any view can be said to be in the majority it is the the hereditarian view. There is no evidence that the environmentalist view would be the majority view. I am aware of no study which would approach the reliability of Snyderman-Rothman study in surveying the prevailing opinion of the academia in this issue.
- (Snyderman, M. and Rothman, S. (February 1987). "Survey of Expert Opinion on Intelligence and Aptitude Testing". American Psychologist 42 (2): 137-144.)
- The study is still referenced in the article but the results have been omitted. I will add them.
- And I remind you that you haven't provided evidence to your view that a disproportionate amount of hereditarians would sit on the board of the Intelligence. Remember that only 17% of respondents supported the environmentalist view in the survey.
- MoritzB 22:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- How nice of you to trot out that nice push poll. First of all, about 1000 researchers were polled, about half of which declined to answer. Second, the researchers were chosen according to their prominence in the field of race and intelligence research. This wasn't a random sample. Third, the respondent were asked to choose between a "partly or wholly genetic" origin of the B-W IQ gap, versus an "wholly-environmental" original. A normal poll would have given the respondent the choice between "wholly environmental", "part-genetic, part-environmental" or "wholly genetic". By rolling the last two options into one, it artificially inflated the support for genetic causes to the B-W IQ gap, in a sample that's alreayd non-random.
- These results have often been contested, as there are serious reasons to invalidate the poll.--Ramdrake 22:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- Nonsense. Read the study.
- MoritzB 00:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Study? It's the results of a friggin' poll! Or more to the point, which part of my explanation are you contesting with that nonsense comment?.--Ramdrake 00:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- You claim that "a half of the researchers declined to answer". This is false. 14% of IQ experts did not answer to the survey. 52% of those responding said that the IQ gap was partially genetic (45% of all people the survey was given to)
- http://www.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/reprints/2003suppressingintelligence.pdf
- You claim that the researchers were chosen "according to their prominence in the field of race and intelligence research" and the sample "wasn't random". It was a survey of expert opinion and the method was completely appropriate. The survey was given to expert members of the American Education Research Association, National Council on Measurement in Education, American Psychological Association, American Sociological Association, Behavior Genetics Association, and Cognitive Science Society with no particular bias against environmentalists. Can you name a single American IQ expert who wasn't given opportunity to answer to the survey in 1988?
- Your claim that "rolling the options" "part-environmental" or "wholly genetic" together they artificially inflated the support for genetic causes to the B-W IQ gap. There is no rational foundation to that claim. It is nonsense.
- MoritzB 01:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- And please sign your posts.
- MoritzB 01:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- First, the response rate for the whole questionnaire was 65%, and 86% of that 65% answered the specific question: Which of the following best characterizes your opinion of the heritability of the Black-White difference in I.Q.? 86% of 65% is 56%, or about half. Second, any non-random sampling introduces a bias, and since the more prominent experts in this particular field tend to cluster around a certain opinion, that biases the sample in a specific way. Third, conflating the "partly genetic and partly environmental" option with the "totally genetic" will give the impression that the genetic explanation has more support than it actually does, it's basic logic and not my fault if you can't fathom this reasoning.--Ramdrake 02:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- So please explain your logic. Some scientists are of the opinion that the gap is of entirely environmental origin and some scientists think that it is of entirely genetic origin. The rest of them think that the gap is of both genetical and environmental origin.
- Snyderman could have included four alternatives to that question: entirely environmental, partly genetic (the influence of genetics is 0-50%), partly environmental (the influence of environment is 0-50%) and entirely genetic.
- However, this formulation would not have affected the amount of researchers who gave an answer that genetical differences have some influence. What is your problem when the phrasing of the middle alternative was actually more favorable to the environmentalist position?
- There was no logic in your statement.
- MoritzB 02:34, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think you misunderstand the point here: those errors allow the pollers to pass off the opinion of the minority as being the opinion of the majority, so as to give it more credibility.--Ramdrake 11:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- The hereditarian view is currently the view that has most support according to the Snyderman study. Do not make assumptions about the intelligence of the reader. Only 17% of IQ experts supported the environmentalist view.
- For instance, Carol Swainn (who is black) referred to the study in the following way according to the Wikipedia article:
At least one important survey suggests that a belief in the biological inferiority of some races in regard to intelligence is more common than generally supposed. Smith College professor Stanley Rothman and Harvard researcher Mark Snyderman surveyed a sample of mostly scientific experts in the field of educational psychology in the late 1980s and found that 53 percent believed IQ differences between whites and African Americans were at least partly genetic in origin, while only 17 percent attributed the IQ differences to environmental factors alone (the remainder either believed the data was currently insufficient to decide the issue or refused to answer the question).
- Does Swainn mislead her readers?
- Your argument that the sample was not "random" and thus introduced a "bias" is also wrong. The purpose of the study was to survey expert opinion which is of greater scientific value than The survey was targeted to experts as expert opinion is of greater scientific value. Inexpertise would be a source of bias, not expertise. It is true that more informed scholars are generally hereditarians, though.
- Similar surveys have been made about global warming. Their validity and the scientific consensus that global warming is caused by human behavior has been well established. Do you also deny global warming?
- MoritzB 17:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
You asked "did Swainn mislead readers"?
Yes, she did in that she made an obvious error of fact. Or maybe she did. How can I trust that you quoted her properly when you did not cite a reference for that quote, or even spell her name correctly?
You think it is important to mention Swain's race?
In that vein and following what you started, as Gottfredson, who is white and most likely of Germanic descent, is quoted thusly on this white supremacist website-- http://home.comcast.net/~neoeugenics/LSG.htm "The results of a 1984 survey (Snyderman & Rothman, 1988) of experts on intelligence and mental testing"
So Swain is careless; and Snyderman & Rothman conducted a survey in 1984 and it took them four years to publish their findings. Which leaves me wondering-- Why exactly is Gottfredson placing so much emphasis, in 2003, [1] on a 19-year old push poll (as Ramdrake observes) when it is so easy and quick to do valid polls today?
Is she lazy? Does she not do original research? Or is it that she likes the claims made in the 19-year-old poll that have not been, and perhaps can not be replicated?
Basic to science is the ability to replicate findings. In 23 years, has no one replicated the poll finding by Snyderman & Rothman that the majority of psychologists concur with Jensen's claims that black people are inferior to whites intellectually? If not, why not?
Is it because Jensen's study consisted entirely of two groups of four 14 year olds, tested more than 47 years ago, and from that small sample, he makes generalizations about an entire race of people? [2]
Or is it because Snyderman & Rothman wanted to take "advantage of a push poll -- "an effective way of maligning an opponent ("pushing" voters away) while avoiding responsibility for the distorted or false information used in the push poll. They are risky for the same reason: if credible evidence emerges that the polls were ordered by a campaign, it would do serious damage to that campaign."
Finally you ask if Sternberg's publishing in Intelligence causes that publication to be not a hotbed of white supremacist thinking? The short answer is No. (Sternberg was taking the fight to white supremacist turf.) Read William Tucker's The Funding of Scientific Racism: Wickliffe Draper and the Pioneer Fund and The Science and Politics of Racial Research and then let's chat, not here, because this is not a
(resetting indent)If you re-read Swain's statement properly, you will see that she only reports that the survey exists and what it claims; she doesn't say she endorses any of what it says; likewise I am not pretending the survey doesn't exist; I'm just pointing out it doesn't have a whole lot of credibility. And the argument that the survey represents "expert opinion" fairly thus constructed is an argument by authority which doesn't hold. A proper survey would have selected a random sample of scientists in the relevant field, not cherry-picked its respondents, and would have avoided to roll partly genetic and partly environmental together with the totally genetic option. What if the scientist surveyed thought the source of the gap was very predominantly environmental, but couldn't rule out a genetic contribution? He or she would have been rolled with the voices on "partly or totally genetic". That's the fatal flaw of this survey, and probably why nobody attempted to replicate it since.
If you want a proper, representative opinion, take the statement of the APA (10,000-ish strong membership):
- It is sometimes suggested that the Black/White differential in psychometric intelligence is partly due to genetic differences (Jensen, 1972). There is not much direct evidence on this point, but what little there is fails to support the genetic hypothesis. (emphasis mine)--Ramdrake 00:01, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Why nobody has attempted to replicate Snyderman's study?
- The APA has been criticised for examining the partially genetic hypothesis inadequately. In the statement only two studies have been cited:
- 1) A study of the children of African-American servicemen and White German women.
- This was a flawed study for at least 3 reasons.
- "First, the children were still very young when tested. One third
- of the children were between 5 and 10 years of age, and two thirds were between
- 10 and 13 years. As discussed in Section 5 (see Figure 3), behavior genetic studies
- show that while family socialization effects on IQ are often strong before puberty,
- after puberty they dwindle, sometimes to zero. Second, 20% to 25% of the
- “Black” fathers were not African Americans but French North Africans (i.e.,
- largely Caucasian or “Whites” as we have defined the terms here). Third, there
- [b]was rigorous selection based on IQ score in the U.S. Army at the time[/b], with a
- [b]rejection rate for Blacks on the preinduction Army General Classification Test of
- about 30%, compared with 3% for Whites[/b] (see Davenport, 1946, Tables I and III)"
http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushtonpdfs/PPPL1.pdf
- Furthermore, the German women likely did have preferences to date officers or otherwise exceptional men who were able to overcome the social stigma related to the country's National Socialist past. German women who dated even White Americans were commonly called Ami-Whores and their heads were shaved. And do you believe in the controversial concept of hybrid vigor which may be a part of the explanation if existent? At least in the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Studymulattoes were found to a have a higher intelligence than the mean between Blacks and Whites.

- 2) A study examining White admixture and IQ in African-Americans on the basis of blood groups.
- The method is outdated in examining admixture. For instance, the blood groups of groups German Jews match Germans and the blood groups of Polish Jews match Poles. Yet the result of a genetic study by Arnaz-Villena is that Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical.
- While blood groups can be useful in examining admixture in such groups as Peruvian Indians (100% of them belong to the blood type O) they are not very useful in the case of Black and White Americans because of the small differences in their case.
Cf. http://www.bloodbook.com/world-abo.html
- I also remind you that APA is an organization of psychologists, not psychometricians who are the relevant experts in the field of IQ testing. Thus, the Snyderman study randomly targeted the relevant experts (psychometricians) and there was no bias. This may also explain the difference between APA's statement and the prevailing scientific consensus.
- Also, there is evidence that APA's statement does not reflect the actual opinions of the signatories. For instance, Bouchard thinks that genetic differences affect the IQ gap between Blacks and Whites.
- You ask why another study has not been made. The probable answer is that hereditarians don't see another study as necessary because their point has already been made. The ball is with the environmentalists who seem reluctant to replicate the study although they would have to opportunity to correct some of the flaws it allegedly has. Is it because they are afraid of the results or are they so marginalized that they lack resources? The environmentalist view in this question is a multiregional hypothesis.

- Edit warring does not require 3RR, and insofar as a warning, your talk page history is full of them. That your last spate of edits was agreed to and has not been reverted is due more to my slowness with blocking, not your devotion to consensus building. NOTE to reviewing admin: if this is at all unclear let me know so we can discuss, thanks. KillerChihuahua?!? 14:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- However, at the time I received those "warnings" I had made only three reverts, not four. Thus, I never broke the 3RR.
- For example, see the diffs in Michael Jackson: [6], [7] , [8]

- As for my devotion to consensus building see the history of the talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:White_people&action=history

- MoritzB 15:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Nonsense, it was taking the time to dig through all your contribs that took so long - I didn't go by the "false reports". Please note: 3RR is not a license to edit war, which you seem to think. KillerChihuahua?!? 15:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- However, I never broke the rule. The edits were made in good faith to improve articles based on consensus. Just because it took many "steps" is not a reason to block as per WP:3RR as I could have made those changes in a single edit. Would you kindly produce a list of diffs if I allegedly broke the 3RR in "white people" and "many other articles?"
- MoritzB 06:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with the 3RR rule. It has to do with the principle against edit warring. 3RR is not an allowance to make three reverts a day, every day, until you get your way; there are other methods to try to get the article how you want it than childishly edit warring. If this continues, I can assure you an arbitration will be in your future, and I have no doubt you will be blocked for future edit warring, especially if you resume the moment your ban is up. These aren't 3RR blocks, they are disruption blocks. Really, it's either that, or protecting the page, probably on the version you dislike, so make your choice - if you want the page a certain way, go through one of the many other avenues open to you, rather than continuing a futile fight thinking your rule-lawyering will save you from a block. --Golbez 08:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

That's how ridiculous your fringe POV is. Does that mean that most white men are pedophiles? Of course not. Sheesh. - Jeeny Talk 21:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't under the impression that it was gay bashing... it didn't seem like he was saying "All gays are pedophiles", but more "A higher than normal number of pedophiles are gay." That's not really a lie, is it? There are a lot more pedophiles attracted to males than there are normal men who are... at least, I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Kinda hate to step into what seems to be a bit of a contentious issue, just thought I'd throw my two cents in there. ]
- He added it to the Homosexuality artcle too. Why not add it to the White people article? Most pedophiles are white men. It wouldn't really be a lie, now would it? - Jeeny Talk 22:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I believe, even if that were to be said, it would be "Most pedophiles in Europe and North America are white men." As, I'm sure there are pedophiles elsewhere in the world, in developing countries and such who are never heard of in other parts of the world.

- Do NOT accuse me of Wikistalking. I've been editing these articles since I've been registered. Stop stop the false accusations. You should know better than this, but your childish accusations, and reports are disruptive. You report people as sockpuppets, 3RR, and so on, of those who do not support your views.

Request for unblock
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
MoritzB (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
There is no evidence produced of edit warring. Lists of diffs or links to relevant warnings have not been provided. There is no report in [5]. I have been very careful not to violate the 3RR. If I broke it it was a mistake made in good faith I am ready to correct (reverting my last edit). Also, the latest edits I made to the article
WP:3RR there. Thus, I assume that this block was a mistake made by KillerChihuahua.
Decline reason:
the block and its length appear justified in the circumstances. Edit warring is disruptive and 3RR is not a license to 3 revisions daily. — Carlossuarez46 19:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
MoritzB 14:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Edit warring does not require 3RR, and insofar as a warning, your talk page history is full of them. That your last spate of edits was agreed to and has not been reverted is due more to my slowness with blocking, not your devotion to consensus building. NOTE to reviewing admin: if this is at all unclear let me know so we can discuss, thanks. KillerChihuahua?!? 14:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- However, at the time I received those "warnings" I had made only three reverts, not four. Thus, I never broke the 3RR.
- For example, see the diffs in Michael Jackson: [6], [7] , [8]
- (The dispute about the inclusing of his mugshot)
- As for my devotion to consensus building see the history of the talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:White_people&action=history
- Obviously, the false reports on my talk page misled you.
- MoritzB 15:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Nonsense, it was taking the time to dig through all your contribs that took so long - I didn't go by the "false reports". Please note: 3RR is not a license to edit war, which you seem to think. KillerChihuahua?!? 15:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- However, I never broke the rule. The edits were made in good faith to improve articles based on consensus. Just because it took many "steps" is not a reason to block as per WP:3RR as I could have made those changes in a single edit. Would you kindly produce a list of diffs if I allegedly broke the 3RR in "white people" and "many other articles?"
- MoritzB 06:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with the 3RR rule. It has to do with the principle against edit warring. 3RR is not an allowance to make three reverts a day, every day, until you get your way; there are other methods to try to get the article how you want it than childishly edit warring. If this continues, I can assure you an arbitration will be in your future, and I have no doubt you will be blocked for future edit warring, especially if you resume the moment your ban is up. These aren't 3RR blocks, they are disruption blocks. Really, it's either that, or protecting the page, probably on the version you dislike, so make your choice - if you want the page a certain way, go through one of the many other avenues open to you, rather than continuing a futile fight thinking your rule-lawyering will save you from a block. --Golbez 08:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- However, no evidence was actually provided that I was edit warring in any manner. 90% of my edits are discussion on talk page aimed to form a consensus.
- MoritzB 13:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Get over it, you were edit waring on the michael jackson page, I bare witness to it, just serve your punishment and move on, hopefully you will learn, talking of consensus (something you fail to follow) the consensus is you have done wrong. Oh by the way its michael Jacksons birthday today, im sure your delighted to learn MoritzB, It dont matter if your blak or white!!! He He. Seriously though bad boy, behave your self.

My first language is spanish, you are very ignorant Moritzb B you user latin words here and there but it doesnt make you clever, sorry my english isn`t up to your standard at least I got off my ass and bothered to learn something else, I wont laugh at your ability to speak spanish, Im not doing to sink that low. Please improve your sense of humour, thanks. Realist2 10:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Laplanders
- I removed a Turk, a Chechen and a Georgian. Then I removed the Sami woman so that there are no incomplete rows in the gallery. I have no problem if she is added back with three new European people.
- MoritzB 14:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- The sami woman is back, along with the other 3 people you removed. BTW FYI galleries don't need to have four images in each line: I suspect you might already be aware of this. I would like a sami surrounded by reindeer, like here (alas not a free image). There are other ancient isolated communities it would be nice to represent when the article is split in two, as I hope it is. --Mathsci 15:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Again stop spreading your fringe POV
- You may have good sources but your views are fringe and therefore notability. Actually it just looks like gay bashing to me, SqueakBox 21:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)]
- Is it is gay bashing, just as he has with the race articles. I can find a reliable source that states pedophiles are mostly WHITE men. How would that set with you? That's how ridiculous your fringe POV is. Does that mean that most white men are pedophiles? Of course not. Sheesh. - Jeeny Talk 21:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't under the impression that it was gay bashing... it didn't seem like he was saying "All gays are pedophiles", but more "A higher than normal number of pedophiles are gay." That's not really a lie, is it? There are a lot more pedophiles attracted to males than there are normal men who are... at least, I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Kinda hate to step into what seems to be a bit of a contentious issue, just thought I'd throw my two cents in there. ]
- He added it to the Homosexuality artcle too. Why not add it to the White people article? Most pedophiles are white men. It wouldn't really be a lie, now would it? - Jeeny Talk 22:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I believe, even if that were to be said, it would be "Most pedophiles in Europe and North America are white men." As, I'm sure there are pedophiles elsewhere in the world, in developing countries and such who are never heard of in other parts of the world. Also... if your only problem is that it was added to the canvass to get support for your argument [9] [10] [11]. There are already too many people losing their time arguing on these talk pages. An extra three won't help in finding a solution. Pascal.Tesson 03:35, 31 August 2007 (UTC)]

It's not the first time you try to drum up support in your disputes [12] [13]. Actually, your history of User talk contributions [14] is quite depressing and hardly indicates a willingness to work productively. Pascal.Tesson 03:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)]

- Yes, morally. People who disagree with me are constantly doing so. It sucks. Do you want to see examples?
- BTW, thanks for notifying me of the ANI discussion. Taharqa did not bother to notify me. Is there some guideline against that?MoritzB 04:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it would have been better for him/her to notify you. In any case, you're notified now. Pascal.Tesson 06:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

- Is it is gay bashing, just as he has with the race articles. I can find a reliable source that states pedophiles are mostly WHITE men. How would that set with you? That's how ridiculous your fringe POV is. Does that mean that most white men are pedophiles? Of course not. Sheesh. - Jeeny Talk 21:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't under the impression that it was gay bashing... it didn't seem like he was saying "All gays are pedophiles", but more "A higher than normal number of pedophiles are gay." That's not really a lie, is it? There are a lot more pedophiles attracted to males than there are normal men who are... at least, I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Kinda hate to step into what seems to be a bit of a contentious issue, just thought I'd throw my two cents in there. ]
- He added it to the Homosexuality artcle too. Why not add it to the White people article? Most pedophiles are white men. It wouldn't really be a lie, now would it? - Jeeny Talk 22:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I believe, even if that were to be said, it would be "Most pedophiles in Europe and North America are white men." As, I'm sure there are pedophiles elsewhere in the world, in developing countries and such who are never heard of in other parts of the world. Also... if your only problem is that it was added to the canvass to get support for your argument [9] [10] [11]. There are already too many people losing their time arguing on these talk pages.
