Atheists... Your life is pointless

from the US government:

Quote:

For those over the age of 12 in 2000, the percentage of "current drinkers" (those who drank in the past month) among the 4 million American Indians and Alaska Natives (35 percent) is much lower than both Whites (51 percent) and Hispanics (40 percent), and only slightly higher than Blacks (34 percent).

Uh, there is a difference between those who take a drink and those who are alcoholics.

There is an obliteration routine, as well as a teetotalling scenario, among some irish. (I can say this, I'm irish). Much and probably most of it cultural. I won't deny there may be a genetic component, though I'm wary of blanket estimations.

Does that have significance?

If that is directed at me, Yes of course it has significance, actual studies of a topic are considered more valid than anecdotal ones.

I am Irish and I am a drunk. I know many more like me. There's even a running joke that "this is an Irish Catholic disease that meets in protestant basements."

Dyslexia, since when do u believe the government?

The percentage of alcohol dependent tribe members varied significantly among tribes, from only one to two percent in one tribe to 56 percent of the men in another. Across all the tribes, 30 percent of the men and 18 percent of the women were diagnosed with some form of alcohol dependence. More than half said that they had at least one parent with alcohol problems.

So? The irish culture in my own experience, not to speak for all, doesn't train anyone to sip and enjoy the bit of wine with dinner or wee whisky after dinner. Quite the opposite..

well, not only the irish, the whole fraternity culture... the whole pattern of nothing or blotto.

I find it hard to pin all the imbibing on the lineup of adenosine and whatever in the dna spirals.

well there you go, from one or two precent to 56 percent depending on the tribe, yes indeed native americans are sots. Don't bother to mention the factors of the differing tribes.

Oh I see. Jump on those that don't agree with you because they stumble and make a mistake, say something out of turn, etc.

But, ignore it when it's something done by one of those that agree with you?

Take a nerve pill, MOAN, go lie down in a darkened room and chill . . . Creasy is all over the boards here with hatefulness, racism, homophobia--a host of truly nasty things to say to and about people.

Not that i'd expect you to notice, since much of the crapola he spouts warms the cockles of your little christian heart . . .

Setanta, I never said he was right, did I? If you really read what I post you find me telling EVERYONE that it is never ok IMO for ANYONE to call ANYONE any names. That goes for whatever side of the fence they are on.

And no Set, it doesn't warm the cockles of my little Christian heart. Actually, it makes my heart cry. It makes me sad that people can get so angry, bitter, resentful, contemptuous, hateful, etc., at one another and start tearing each other down. I believe we should lift each other up.
