@ Oyinda baby! Nah Females are sub-human In the words of Larry summers : The second thing that I think one has to recognize is present is what I would call the combination of, and here, I'm focusing on something that would seek to answer the question of why is the pattern different in science and engineering, and why is the representation even lower and more problematic in science and engineering than it is in other fields. And here, you can get a fair distance, it seems to me, looking at a relatively simple hypothesis. It does appear that on many, many different human attributes-height, weight, propensity for criminality, overall IQ, mathematical ability, scientific ability-there is relatively clear evidence that whatever the difference in means-which can be debated-there is a difference in the standard deviation, and variability of a male and a female population. And that is true with respect to attributes that are and are not plausibly, culturally determined. If one supposes, as I think is reasonable, that if one is talking about physicists at a top twenty-five research university, one is not talking about people who are two standard deviations above the mean. And perhaps it's not even talking about somebody who is three standard deviations above the mean. But it's talking about people who are three and a half, four standard deviations above the mean in the one in 5,000, one in 10,000 class. Even small differences in the standard deviation will translate into very large differences in the available pool substantially out. I did a very crude calculation, which I'm sure was wrong and certainly was unsubtle, twenty different ways. I looked at the Xie and Shauman paper-looked at the book, rather-looked at the evidence on the sex ratios in the top 5% of twelfth graders. If you look at those-they're all over the map, depends on which test, whether it's math, or science, and so forth-but 50% women, one woman for every two men, would be a high-end estimate from their estimates. From that, you can back out a difference in the implied standard deviations that works out to be about 20%. And from that, you can work out the difference out several standard deviations. If you do that calculation-and I have no reason to think that it couldn't be refined in a hundred ways-you get five to one, at the high end. Now, it's pointed out by one of the papers at this conference that these tests are not a very good measure and are not highly predictive with respect to people's ability to do that. And that's absolutely right. But I don't think that resolves the issue at all. Because if my reading of the data is right-it's something people can argue about-that there are some systematic differences in variability in different populations, then whatever the set of attributes are that are precisely defined to correlate with being an aeronautical engineer at MIT or being a chemist at Berkeley, those are probably different in their standard deviations as well. So my sense is that the unfortunate truth-I would far prefer to believe something else, because it would be easier to address what is surely a serious social problem if something else were true-is that the combination of the high-powered job hypothesis and the differing variances probably explains a fair amount of this problem. |
. . . not without fellating Omo Alhaja |
Look at Ibo people, they cannot organise themselves; yet they want to rule the country! Nincompoops! |
Akin Egba = Igbobuigbo Yeah, nothing do us We hustle alot; the reason why we are ahead of y'all! |
^^^ Mummy mi ema yawan ju oooo |
Its very popular in Nigeria The reason you dont know much about it is because you live in Maryland. Its very popular with students, especially at Ife and UI and Lag, I have friends in that movement |
Akin-Egba:Igbobuigbo, lets be honest with ourselves here ok? These acts, a registered trademark of young Ibo men irrespective of their social status, ought to be condemned by every sane individual. It seems to me, because of its frequency ,and going by your utterances, that despoiling of young innocent women, which can be likened to the raping of toddlers by HIV positive men in SA, is a cultural thing with the Ibos, not sure why though. Wanna share why? I am surprised at your response. What is bad is bad. Raping young girls is bad. Anyway, like I said in my previous post, limit these abhorrent acts to your neck of the wood; any attempt to export these immoral behaviour to other parts of the country would be fiercely restricted |
Something like this will never happen in a morally upright society like Yorubaland I wonder what Ibo parents are teaching their kids. I sure hope they restrict these abominable acts to within their conclave, if they try this in the SW, we will bury them alive. Buncha misfits Thank God/Chineke/Olodumare/Allah that I am not Ibo Thanks bkbabe97 for bringing this to our attention |
Blazay:How was your midday nap? Hope the handjob didnt take that long? Welcome back! |
^^^ Person sey hin no good enough You talk say make hin teri si Naija people and thier stupit advice! |
[size=28pt]PICTURES?[/size] |
I actually think that UI graduates are doing way better than Ife peeps BTW, I love Ife die! |
MandingoII:Ode! Atleast they aspire to be something; FYI, there are more Nigerian engineers than there are nurses. Almost every AA male of my street is a bum/ex-convict/lazy |
Any NL member protesting? Seun, Blazay, Ileke Idi Igbobuigbo, Jarus, DapoBear, Ezeuche, bkbabe97, Gbawe, Babpupa, Alhaji Harem: Anyone on ground? |
~Bluetooth:With all due respect, this is not true! Borrowing one of Kobo's cop out lines, "you may want to provide proof." |
JUO:If you lead, I will follow you. Nigerians, all TALK, no ACTION Who wan die? ![]() Buncha cowards like Blazay ![]() |
^^^ What list? |
So what happens to the remaining 25%? |
^^^ Christmas 23 yrs ago was awesome Hmm, just saying! |
^^^ How was your sleep? Glad you eventually fell asleep, courtesy of your fail-proof left hand, not sure if you prefer your right In my world, sleep is for sissies 24 hrs / round the clock hardwork is how I live Yeah, knowing that your handjob life isnt that great, we decided to wait for you to peme before we go all out, trying to be sensitive here Hey no nitro before the blue pill, and no nitro afterwards either, just saying. I would rather you go peacefully, than have some EMTs assault you on your way to hell Keep spending on her, dont forget her panniculectomy this christmas, I will pray for you when you are gone. I would not mind a hymen repair, if not for me, for her self esteem Have a nice day, we shall meet somewhere else in the politics section Hmm, Dont forget to play by the rules; typos are allowed, bad tenses and grammatical 'AYAKATA BONGOS' blunders are to be avoided at all cost. Hope your drying brain can keep up; you might need to take a nap in a few ( since you can't last long, metaphorically, physically and, sexually speaking) , go ahead, I won't count it against you. |
Onlytruth:Stop comparing sleep with death. Landlocked countries in Africa dont thrive Just too many examples: Mali, Sudan, Zaire And like eku_Bear articulated above, they just wont be able to compete. |
^^^^ What about the Modakeke guy that won the Pulitzer? |
eku_bear:HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAh Cant wait for Ileke to reply. . . BTW, how did you know all these? hmmmm, hope it is not what I am thinking? |
eku_bear:Glad to know Ileke is not in your radar Seems the coast is clear for Ileke and I to live happily forever after. Good thing, I am into sugar mama, cougar ish. |
^^^ Who knows why? Maybe she doesnt want to be hit on by eku_bear |

Very Hot, low amounts of drama. A win/win combination.
She ran track in college and had an amazing behind. . .
