Forcing banks to lend based on the number of applications is fucking retarded. You had a chance to clarify your statement which you used to acknowledge that it was a bad idea.

Considering how you referred to "shitty loans" in such a non-systemic manner, I'll assume you're knowledge of interest rates is rusty or still in the kiln.

Science is a method of collecting and presenting data.
You have done neither.

1) Inhale through your nose while blocking the connection of your nose to your mouth with your tongue to build pressure.
2) When you sort of feel the building mucous, move your tongue. The mucous will be sucked down into your through.
3) You will gag on the mucous, as it is now blocking your airway
4) commence dry heaving and spit up the mucous
5) feel like shit, but at least you can breathe

Take a different approach and compare the family size of those divided by furthest education (HS diploma, 2y, 4y, masters, doctorate)

I think you'll find that the pattern is more tightly bound to the years spent in post secondary school, which correlates with their earnings.

The higher up the education totem pole you go means you're that much farther behind everyone else "starting your life". So, poor people (less education, less pay) generally start families earlier, and thus have more prime baby making ability.

see here's the problem. You want to make an impact on the world before you die, it's a motivating factor.

If you can live for hundreds of years, you're going to find that everyone is just going to not give a fuck and dick off that much moore.

the intelligence of the parents does not dictate the intelligence of the child. Sometimes, the children of the unintelligent can help their parents become more productive members of society through their new learning experiences.

However, this all depends on the learning environment for the child. So perhaps instead, anyone who lives in the shit part of town shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

Life is an error in entropy. Almost like a memory leak in the function of the universe.

A very basic form of life is the recursive function. So long as there are resources to sustain its existence it will continue to replicate.

Organic life is a bit different than computers however. The "code" is a physical object instead of an abstract housed in digital systems. This code can and does have errors. These errors affect the effectiveness of their replication. Over time we find that the recursive functions that reproduce most effectively will naturally have higher numbers than those that do not. These distinct objects "compete" with each other for limited resources to be able to continue replicating.

That's not necessarily true. Technically you can only say that you travel ~1 degree around the sun every day. As without a frame of reference you have no idea how "fast" you're traveling through time.

When someone says "Do you believe in evolution?", what are they really asking? Does everyone understand the question to mean the same thing?

I'm being serious, understanding of what facet of evolution does this particular question aim to confirm?
