A question about evolution

I would say wealth plays a larger part in that than one would think.

how so?

I disagree a little because as the population grows and the capabilities of medicine increase, the average schmoe and the ulgy schmucks can still get it on and have functional children like everyone else. Plus with more and more people connected via electronic media, there is greater opportunity for people to meet and get it on. 

I agree somewhat on the hormones in everyday foods. Children are growing bigger and faster then before, so much so that I heard some child clothing lines are adjusting their sizing scales.

I wasnt saying overall. IMO it hasnt changed, just what people notice and the area of town they happen to be in when they notice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey wait a minute! Evolution is only a theory, not a fact. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

It's called GM foods and hormones in the milk, beef and other foods.
Let's take bottled water and sodas for that matter too........did you know that there are two catalysts that are used to form polycarbonate plastics for the bottled containers used for sodas, purified water, gatorade, baby bottles, you name it: bisphenal A and polyethylene tetrateraloide . Now not all of these substances are used in all plastics, but a majority of them are. The FDA has even ruled that bisphenal A does indeed replicate estrogen homones and also may be a cause for obesity and "Moobs" in men.

Oh, and I don't give a fvck what the FDA says is safe. I trust NO CHEMICAL....

I have always wondered why no matter how hard I worked out, In highschool I was running 3 miles and lifting 185 4-5 sets at 10 reps per set. that I always had a slight beer belly and manboobs:crap:

from my experiences, wealthy people have WAY fewer kids than poor people.

I went to a movie theater 2 weeks ago that I normally dont go to... I was standing outside with a couple of my friends waiting for the movie to start. It was about 10:45 PM and all the kids were outside waiting to be picked up. These girls were actually pretty **** good looking. Definately wouldnt think they were waiting to be picked up for a ride at the movies. The guys they were with looked like babies. Rarely was there a guy taller than 5'9-5'10. They were about 5'4-5'5 for the most part. Just tiny littls dudes, they looked like what you would see walking through a middle school.
I felt bad thinking "man shes pretty hot", but then I decided, shes dressed like a skank, and has the body of a 20 year old. So wtf?

I say whatever, its all good. If you're attracted to girls who look wayyy too young and still look like little girls thats fawked up, but if the girl is say 16 and has the body of a 20 year old, why the hell should I feel bad for looking?

that's what i was talking about but ok continue with the young bewbs

Other than the occasional teen kidnapping (see "OMGROFL" thread in this section) I disagree a little. I think this electronic age is keeping people glued to their computers instead of going out and actually meeting people. Computers + people = staying in (aka: pron). IMO that's why social skills are declining.

1) it's cuz of your diet

2) how often did you work out?

Where in this thread does anyone say anything about the amount of children having anything to do with this conversation?

What has happened is that the fairly wealthy people all live in the same area of that town. They are also really good looking people. Good looking people breed good looking children.

is natural selection not a fundamental part of evolution? if wealthy people are more attractive, and wealthy people reproduce less, natural selection leads to LESS attractive people. But all of our experiences show that there are, in fact, MORE attractive girls now than there have been in the past.

Its called perception. There are still plenty of ugly people. In fact many more so than pretty people. But how many go to the hood to scope chicks or pay attention to ugly ones?

And natural selection is instinct, not evolution.

You absolutely correct sir! When combined with synthetic stimulants, virtual alternatives such as **** and CA.com, yes the electronic age is turning us into, eventually, beings that are just like robots, with ultimately no emotions that we "want" to feel.

I have conceded this with myself, that the internet will ultimately form most people into non-human, humans. We have already begun to operate via the Freudian "id" and nothing will be able to fullfill us (human relation wise) because we have so many outlets from which to we can sustain our satisfaction or need for whatever, psychologically and emotionally. The physical realm will probably one day, no longer be needed. The Matrix???? This also comes to mind:

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
