You screwed up your summation, you botched an otherwise very good comment, I thought. There could be twins, that would be two, 100% wrong .

The women of that tribe would eventually evolve into bearing litters.

Ya, I know. The hell with it.

I hate when someone thinks he understands but doesn't understand. It annoys me to no end :lol:

Don't say you understand when you obviously don't.
Feeling a little prickly and condescending today are you, or are you always like that? I'm pretty sure I understand better than you do, and you missed my point entirely. You first suggested it would be better if we were all women, then allowed for 1 man in every 100 people for purely reproductive purposes. My point was that if that were a better survival strategy than the 50-50 ratio we actually see, evolution would have produced it. It hasn't, so it must be a losing strategy in the long term.

Obviously it's true that 1 man and 99 women can produce more offspring than 99 men and 1 woman in the same period of time, and it's equally obvious that a society can lose a substantial fraction of its young men and survive--two world wars in the previous century proved that--but lose the women and children and you're going down. That's why men are risk takers, it's built deeply into our evolutionary heritage to protect the women and children at any cost, and men will sacrifice themselves to do that. And so what? You're just belabouring the obvious and condescendingly suggesting I don't understand simple arithmetic when all I really did was introduce another idea into the discussion, to suggest that the 1/99 ratio would be an unsuccessful strategy.
I never mentioned 1/99 ratio as a evolutionary survival tactic.
You specifically mentioned it as a survival tactic against being out bred by Muslims. You think evolution isn't involved here? Differential reproductive success is the essence of evolution.

Ok so you do understand what I said, but I don't know where you got the 1/99 evolution ratio.

I was just using that example to demonstrate how women are the base denominator to the ability of the race to reproduce.
Anything about a evolution of this 1/99 ratio as a survival tactic I have no idea where your getting that from.

Don't engage Sinister PBUH, he was very good in school, unless you are ready for math/logic/reason **** like that, unless you like to crushed

OK, on a lighter note & on the subject of Masculinity in a
'Tim the tool man' meets 'Mad Max' type thing....check out
the new (to them) ecco-friendly commuter vehicle that
the neighbours across the road brought home today.

I thought maybe they'd use it after the apocalypse to
hunt zombies from....or to get groceries...which ever
comes first.

I'm not hunting anything I can't eat, it's amazing the perspective we have on apocolyptic stuff, we're so ignorant of our history , any bird has a better grasp of its position in the space time continum. Humans are something else, I'm not sure if I trust them. About this years CC veterans picnic, you're street address please, I have to deliver i.7 tons of musical insturments.
I love Friday


As a example to help my argument that it only takes one male. The rest I have no idea where you got that from.
So you're engaged with Sinister, I was once, and it cost me my remaining braincells,
I've been dead for three now. No it dosen;'t hurt.

Don't know yet. Was talking to his girlfriend out on the street
and she'd just found it parked in front of her house an hour
before that. She's not sure where he found it, and thought
the SWAT team was on the block as she was pulling up.

He's going to make a camper out of it from the sounds of it.

The point I was trying to make is society would be better served if we all were women at this point, only because it would add to the chance of kids being made. Something women decided to stop doing, and is fairly more essential to our survival then manly men being manly.

Unless handing over the world to a culture like Islam is your idea of a great future.

Don't know if you noticed but the world is overpopulated by about 3 billion people.
