BF2S Forums Is there a physiological difference (genetic) between the races ?

Genetical ... LMAO!!!! Hilarious, what a great word. +1 for made up words and the growing trend of illiteracy.

lol english isnt my first language and I thought that word existed.. at least you understood what I meant

Sorry, I was poking fun a little bit ... I only speak one language so kudos to you (and I mean it).

Actually genetical has become accepted as a less common alternative for the simpler adjective genetic.  It may drive some old-school english teachers and british people crazy, but it's entered the langauage and the dictionary.  Some would say it represents a "dumbing-down" of the language but I would say those people are ill-natured curmudgeons and that the language is evolving or at the very least branching out to the side.  Actually I'm not a big fan of "genetical" myself, but it's not quite as bad as the growing trend of making -ion nouns verbs which has led to people making new -ize verbs like "verbalize" (wtf, does say not work hear or at least an intelligent verb for talking).  You Brit are guilty too though, wtf is holiday as a verb supposed to be about? We sure as hell don't say that.

People are a product of their environment.  Africans have troubles because they do not have much fertile soil due to desertification and rising global temps.  Africa is pretty much desert or jungle.  Not a good place to grow crops and raise livestock. The only success they have had with crops in Africa is with GMOs (genetically modified organisms).  You can throw all the money in the world at them but if they stay where they are they will not succeed unless you change the environment they live in.

I agree. It is based upon where people live. Africa can't really develope in many places because of the habitat. If they were to develope we would lose alot of habitat for animals that may be endangered and close to extinction. Sometimes it is better to have things stay the old way until a new fully developed answer comes along.

well I can't remember offhand about the skeletons, but I remember a couple of shows and two aussies I've met that said you can specifically see lungs and intestines and stuff, I remember the pics of the ghosty things were freaky, too, I'm hoping to get my white ass down there and go camping and maybe rafting and soak random things like that up like a sponge

well aborigines her in aus have a chemical thing messed up in their brain, thats why they fight a lot and can take a good beating.

That and they are the only culture on earth to never invent the bow and arrow for hunting/fighting.

indonesians didnt invent those for hunting... i think... wait... did they? nvm. but they invented boomerang

Boomerangs HURT if they are thrown properly.

The symbols, dots and lines in the various forms of aboriginal art are generally reprasentative of physical characteristics or features that are in stories from the dreamtime legends.

Forgotten what my aboriginal names are... I've been adopted into three clans and I can say that they are much nicer people than half of the "civilised" people I've met. If they aren't drinking anyways.

There are genetic differences in every individual regardless of race.

Damnit ninja I want the nipple back...she was trying to cover it she just missed.

From what I can read here, you guys think every humans born equal but do not develop equal. In Africa they can't "train" everything they got because they are too busy... trying to survive...

Also the diet has an impact on how the body can develop, including the brain and its capabilities.

I was thinking the same thing.

Some of us may have misunderstood the main post. I know there are genetic differences between the races because of the skin colour, I'm not blind, but im talking about other differences, not neccessarily about the colour of the skin, if you know what I mean.

What do you mean I just want to argue?  That statement fits in with previous comments made by me.

Who said anything about superiority?  The discussion is about difference.

quit asking for my attention.
