Is the evolution of modern man going to stop

No! It does not.It follows a nested hierarchy.Working backwards: all humans are homonids, all homonids are primates, all primates are mammals, all mammal have backbones and all backbone-havers are animals.To follow your logic: all gods would be wannabe's and they'd all be humans too.

Its not about not having children, its about having children. I'm a 30-something year old college educated dude with a high IQ that doesn't have any kids yet and has been with the same women for 7+ years. Down the road from me is State Park, IL where totally uneducated drug addicts with no jobs have multiple kids by multiple women. On an evolutionary standard, how can I compete with that? On a social standard, where's my incentive to work harder to support those people?

Yeah, that's because the numbers aren't right. They're including it in Collinsville, which has the same numbers. That's really the only thing on the net I could find for State Park. But I didn't realize it was State Park Place (nobody around here adds the 'Place'). Googling that I ran across the urban dictionary entry:

quote:

---

A small town east of St.Louis, not to be mistaken for Collinsville, IL. It is a community made up of mostly whites and hispanics, most of whom are relatively violent. You can find drug dealers, gangbangers, thieves, crackheads, racists and everything in between.

​

A small white ghetto near St.Louis, MO. The town consists of drug dealers, gangsters, thugs, crackheads and thieves.

State Park is actually unincorporated in Collinsville. Its just county. There's no cops besides the State Police and County Sheriff, but they hardly ever go there. Its a real shithole, I've been there. I know people who live there. I don't know how I could evidence that. I guess you're going to have to take my word for it.I was gonna link to some Google Maps streetviews, but it looks like the Map Car didn't go down any of the side streets: Google Maps Its a pretty small area. Since its an unincorporarted county town, it draws in the the real scumbags. But anyways, unless your doubting that areas like I mention actaully exist, its kinda beside the point if I can prove to you that this is one of them. My questions still stand.

I've heard of it but never seen it. I'll check it out.So are you admiting there's a problem? Is Bender correct: What are we gonna do?

Thanks for the article, I haven't read it yet. I've been really busy in RL lately. I can accept that its not necessary, but I still wonder if it will. Yes, absolutely, I never thought that it was due to genetically inheritable factors. I think its a cultural problem with the education. They don't seem to have any desire to better themselves through education and seem content with what they do have... and they're crankin' out babies like nobody's business.
