Asquithian, you're the one throwing around the racial determinism accusations here, I've said nothing to that extent except that traits don't arise purely from environment, but often to some extent they stem (genetically) from one's racial background. Sexual deviations? Apart from that -...

And what's your family derived from? A larger body called a race. That's why certain races have certain personality traits, regardless of where or who they're raised with. 50/50? You must be having a laugh for us to actually believe that nice equal (50/50) "evidence". There's been no...

It's not up to me to define conservatism for you (I think we both know what it generally means anyway) - if you want to read up on it so much I'll provide the links if you have PSYCinfo access. Cheers!

What journal are you specifically referring to? I've never read any journal that allows ppl to justify treating certain groups in certain ways. I don't think like that, and I've never read anything to that effect either. What girls from Northern China? I never said that! The replicated...

I think sometimes political correctness is just the fallback for those who choose to turn a blind eye to evidence: Where do you look for this info Asquithian? Your own subjective experiences? If, according to you, the evidence from med and psychology journals/research is the "easy way out"...

Are you serious? If you state that race is just "outward appearance", that implies races are the same on the inside, if the only race difference is just "outward appearance", idiot ;) I think environment has heaps to do with it, but I believe that at least some of your personality is...

Here: Yep, individual differences. I dunno about that - where's your evidence to say that personality is developed (nurture) and not embedded from birth (nature)? Or do you just say it cos it seems a fair idea?

i'd say the easy way out is to always argue for political correctness.

Well you'd be wrong. I've read several studies (and before you bag med or psych studies, please at least offer me somewhere else to get objective info from) in which (to continue this example) asians were raised by foster parents in countries such as Sweden and Norway, yet continued to display...

no they're not - but I'd say most are (again I'm talking about northern asian girls, not aussie born). Haha you must be pretty dim to assume that all races are "the same on the inside". Do you go to uni yet? If you do I suggest you take a few psychology or med electives, you'll soon see that...

Wow! Appealing to minorities of populations (e.g. some might not have __) is always an effective way out of an argument! "Mystique" may not be a racial trait, but being conservative is one attribute asian girls generally have (btw I'm not talking about aus-born asian girls because they grew up...

how is the mystique surrounding asian girls full of it? And you know that some ppl prefer dating ppl from certain races, because ppl from that race (generally) have certain traits, ideals, respect etc not found as widely in other races? (And I'm not just talking about the ppl who say "i'll...

Tommy, I think you'll find that Australia has a lot more immigrants here than Greece (people choose to LIVE here, not just go on vacation). When you talk about tourism - that's only short term (holidays). I know you said you want to move back to Greece, but hey you're the minority. I bet a...

lol best contradiction ever - that's going in the signature. Love transcends race colour etc. I'm gonna marry an asian.

k so should she be charged with murder or not?

That's a pretty messed up interpretation - ego bruising. I guess some people here are trying to be objective, and then there are others such as steph@nie and yourself who think it's ok to take legal matters into your own hands, but cannot justify why - self defence? Revenge? Humour us. Just...

Yeh but Christian doesn't = conservative nations. Conservative = more collectivist cultures, e.g. eastern/asian etc.

Unsatisfying marriages? Perhaps if they are somehow unsatisfied with their marriage they opt to work it out instead of throwing in the towel, western style. It should be socially unacceptable in all nations, only in the most extreme cases do I see divorce as acceptable (e.g. one partner...

OK that makes sense.

Asquithian this is the first time I've seen you get kinda owned in argument. If what you were saying is true, why would countries like the US and Aus have high premarital sex rates, and the HIGHEST divorce rates in the world. Conservative nations probably have the lowest premarital sex...
