... I am surprised no one has mentioned yet having sex once in a while.

Well, you only mentioned soft drinks !

No. I mentioned soft drinks *for a start.*

(Not sure sex is a viable proposition until reaching a reasonable shape
first?)

Yes, a tiny microcosm of Europe that reflected the warped upbringings of
some parts of European society (e.g., in Vienna).

You have not read the man, have you? After going thru "The Interpretation
of Dreams," (not necessarily the exact title), I started looking at the
folks around in a different way. An eye opener, believe me.

What percentage of (say American) females do you think truly enjoy sex? To
what extent does guilt stand in the way?

What percentage of the boys are unable to perform with a female whom they
respect? (Reconciling "purity" of the mother figure and the necessity of
sex to make her a mother.)

Might be worth having a read of the books of Alice Miller, a Swiss
psychotherapist who thinks that some of Freud's theories were ways of
him denying the reality of sexual abuse of his female clients..

Try "For Your Own Good"
"The Drama of the Gifted Child"

A _long_ time ago, I did, although not very much. He was hugely
influenced by his own psychological problems, and he was reassured in
his analyses by the similar problems of those around him. But many of
his findings are not generally applicable.

What percentage of (say American) females do you think
truly enjoy sex?

I've never seen any figures I'd consider reliable.

What percentage of the boys are unable to perform with a female whom they
respect?

What sort of performance are they giving?

sex to make her a mother.

Have you read _Worlds in Collision_?

No, this is true as well. American blacks tend to be slightly larger,
heavier, and taller than American whites. Not all blacks in this world
are this way, but perhaps American blacks are descended from slaves who
were selected specifically for these characteristics. In any case, the
advantages of this small general difference in the extreme case of
athletics is obvious.

Maybe I'm just living in ignorance and prejudice here, but I would have
thought it obvious that there are differences between races that have
implications for sports. For example Ethiopians and Kenyans dominating long
distance running. West Africans (and their descendents?) seem to be heavier
built and do better in sprints.

Even so, one notices today, there are not great black cyclists?
[...]
Are they not physically fitted for being great cyclists?

I can imagine that West Africans are possibly not (and swimming, too?),
since lightness is an advantage, but also there is a social aspect -
different sports have different attractions to different ethnic groups.

Hi,

but then why in the pics of him with american and british officers is he
of "average" height?

You must be thinking of someone else. I have seen lots of pictures of
DeGaulle with other generals and he was always much taller than the others.



... (so are most of the men... look at pics
of General deGaulle walking in the crowds and he stands a full head
taller than the masses) ...


He was very tall.

You don`t have too, many are accessible by the web. The one I cited

Basically, Maxi, you don`t seem to be organized.

It is CDC data, and I seem to remember the methodology given?

Basically, this data is not recorded by a Fed Gov agency on a regular
basis so a large number of Whites and Blacks are not monitored
and that makes the data weak.

Memory if faulty and plastic, it changes with time.

I am married to a woman who keeps a personal diary and has for
over 40 years. A number of times she has pointed out where I
have fused memories, alterned them etc. So I depend a lot on
the internet, or from my personal library to keep my flying
straighter.

Next, we have a personal friend, another academic, who has done
a lot of research on race and sports.

His basic conclusion is that there is a lot of myth involved in
supposing that a certain race is naturally superior are this or that.

Lets take the current idea that east Africans are better natural runners
than anybody else in the world. True or not true?

In this area, get you grains of salt out, they will be useful.

They train at high altitude.

Good grief - I feel odd taking Mixy's part, but soon you will be suggesting
that the whole of Usenet should now be peer reviewed?

As a matter of interest you might look up Le Monde Diplomatiqye a couple of
months ago which had an article - "Le Monde Selon Google" - describing the
ways in which Google can provide inaccurate information.

Define "a lot". There may be myths, but there is also some truth, and to
suggest otherwise just flies in the face of logic. There are obviously
differences between races (colour, facial characteristics etc) - period. Why
should these differences be confined to cosmetic features. Are Chinese
naturally superior or inferior high-jumpers? What about medical conditions
that are race linked, like sickle cell anemia, or the higher incidence of
some heart conditions in Jews (search on soc.culture.mideast if you can be
bothered). Do these have any implications for sporting prowess?

Lets take the current idea that east Africans are better natural runners
than anybody else in the world. True or not true?

My guess is that they have some advantages that are accentuated by their
education and social forces. What's your guess?
