Hello Tom,
Why did you post this message in a group which is devoted to issues related to bicycling?
Second, upon what do you base the assertion that the German people are perhaps the most
intelligent, moral and productive people on earth? Is the average IQ in Germany higher that
that of other countries, and if so, does the superior morality and productivity flow
automatically from that "fact"?

Well Justin Lewis, first off, if you look at the thread, I was just replying to the posts in the
thread.
Your answer suggests that you are exonerated from any onus to base anything you write upon any
evidence so long as it is not the first posting in a thread. Thank you for this clear statement
regarding the cogency of the assertion that Germans are more intelligent than other nationalities.
Quoted message said:And secondly, if you disapproved of me posting in this thread, why did you take issue with my
statem,ent that the "German people are> perhaps the most intelligent, moral and productive people
on earth.", and ask me to comment on it?
Why don't you be honest and fair, and chastize the source of the problem, rather than pick a post
at random?
It might appear to rational, intelligent, open-minded folks, that you were prejudice against
Germans, or had another ax to grind, by your actions, rather than that you were objecting to an
off topic post.
I chose to react because I have several German friends who would welcome evidence supporting their
superior intellect: however I can offer them no evidence and it appears that you also lack
evidence for this assertion. It is certainly not an unfavourable based upon inadequate facts
(prejudice) on my behalf to suggest that Germans are not the most intelligent people on earth but
equally intelligent as any other nationality.
Your title is "Kill The Jews". As a Jew, I felt that some response was justified even though the
posting was off-topic.
First off, as I indicated, the title "Kill The Jews" was not mine. In fcat it could have weel been
posted by a Jew who was trying to stir up conflict.
Secondly, why would you, as a Jew,
be motivated to respond to a post that suggested that the German people, "are perhaps the most
intelligent, moral, productive people on Earth"?
As can be seen by their contributions to society, their morality, and how they are welcomed as good
neighbors whereever they live in the world, it seems that this is a correct statement.
Even the Romans, admired the morality, the bravery, and the culture of the Germans, when they were
trying to add them to their empire.
And of course, the Germans were the main force acting against the people who were instigating the
class wars of the 1900's, and as shown by history, if FDR had joined with the German people, and
gone after the class war instigators, rather than getting in bed with them, WWII would have lasted
two months, and there would have been no Cold War, no Korean War, no Vietnam, etc. Note that after
FDR died, America did a 180, and begand to oppose the people who were instigating the class wars,
the very people the German people were opposed to. And note, that even now, the German people are
opposed to the people who are trying to instigate the religious wars of the 2000's.
