…and a few that were forced on me.

…and a few that were forced on me.

In my long, illustrious, golden, noble, spermy, hilarious, fun-filled life, I’ve done me quite a lot of drugs. I’ve ingested every illegal drug that has crossed my path, and I’ve frequently altered my path in order to score others. Basically, the only drugs I haven’t done are the ones I haven’t been able to find.

Back in seventh grade, my science-fair project was a visual presentation of illegal drugs’ purported horrors, and I say “purported” because at the time, I had never tried an illegal drug, although they clearly fascinated me. Looking back, it turns out that I have sampled every illegal drug I wrote about in my science-fair project—and I’ve enjoyed every one of them.

Merely for kicks, I’ve taken all the legal recreational drugs (alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine) many of the legal pharmaceuticals (Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, OxyContin, Benzedrine, Adderall, and the tragically no-longer-available Quaalude), every conceivable manner of cannabinoid (hash, hash oil, hash brownies, and a rainbow coalition of weed), scores of psychedelics (LSD, MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, salvia, and Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds), the stimulants (I’ve smoked and snorted both meth and cocaine), the dissociatives (PCP and ketamine), the opiates (I’ve snorted heroin and smoked opium), and I’ve even dabbled in inhalants (amyl nitrite and nitrous oxide). Like I said, I’ve done me a lot of drugs. Of everything, I’m sure you’re most impressed by the Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds. What’s undeniable is that, despite doing all those drugs, I am able to remember doing all those drugs, which any sane and sensible person would conclude gives me the cognitive capacity to do even more drugs. I still have some brain cells left to kill.

I doubt that it’d be legal if I were to come right the fuck out and ask you, my legions of faithful and attentive readers, to supply me with any of the psychoactive compounds I’m about to enumerate. But I think it’s legal to wish that you’d bring large quantities of them to me for free. That’s not the same thing as asking. That’s only a wish, and I don’t want to live in a country where wishes are illegal. Part of what’s great about being an American is that our forefathers constructed a sacred document creating a beneficent government that allows you to do lots and lots of illegal drugs before you ever get caught.

DMT

I’ve heard rumors—and I don’t want to research them and find out they’re false, because it’d be a letdown—that smoking DMT mimics the chemical your brain releases when you’re dying. I’ve been fascinated with DMT’s legendary psychedelic powers since my teens when I read that after smoking only one DMT-laced joint, comedian Lenny Bruce abandoned his black-and-white suits and began wearing colors. I’ve met a few people who’ve tried it, and the haunted look they get in their eyes when describing the experience only makes it that much more appealing. Technically, I smoked a little bit of DMT a few years ago in a group of about six people, but I guess I didn’t inhale enough to “ride the snake,” or whatever it is that happens to you. For a split second, it felt like I was able to look into my wrist with X-ray vision and see my bones, but that was it. I definitely didn’t leave my body. But a friend of mine at the same smoking session looked like he was on Jupiter for a few minutes there.

GHB

I know almost nothing about GHB except that you sip little salty scoops of it, it’s allegedly a common choice of date rapists, and it’s dangerously easy to overdose. None of these things, of course, serve as impediments to my twisted psychology. To me, all of them are selling points. I have a vague and possibly erroneous understanding that GHB induces mainly an immobilizing, alcohol-like “body” high, with frequent projectile vomiting as an added bonus. The whole shebang sounds nasty, chemical, and sordid, which is all very, very cool.

Author’s Note: This article’s adequate and satisfactory completion was interrupted on June 1st by the matter of me having a 9-on-the-Richter-scale epileptic seizure, then brain surgery to remove a large benign tumor that had been pegged as the seizure’s cause, followed by another honkin’-big post-surgery seizure that served as the cherry on top. I emerged from the hospital after eight days as strong as a heterosexual mule and apparently with highly sharpened cognitive skills. Despite your jeers, jabs, and jibes, I will continue to exploit this situation for all the sympathy, trinkets, and bad-ass credentials I can garner from it.

In the hospital, I was hooked up to enough wires to string a harp. At one point I was connected to three separate IV trees pumping unsolicited drugs in me around the clock. I enjoyed a morphine drip for the first day or two, but after that, I received absolutely no painkillers or antibiotics, which seems nasty, unfair, and perhaps a touch passive-aggressive. One of the medications, designed to quell irregular heart rhythms, can also turn your skin irreversibly blue. I can’t determine whether any of the multiple seizure medications with which they’ve plied me have had any effect on my thinking or mood.

But I can tell you a tad about Decadron, which is the steroid they gave me to prevent my cabeza from swelling up to dugong-like proportions. From all the hype, I’d expect steroids would turn a person into a violent, unfeeling, US Marines/pit-bull meanie, but quite the opposite is true: I’m a bawling, oversensitive Sissy Mary. I only need to look at my wife or dog, and it’s wah-wah-wah all the livelong day. They weaned me from Decadron nearly two weeks ago, and I’m still a walking premenstrual vagina.

I’m sure you’re wondering whether any of this has “taught me a lesson” or imbued me with a golden sense of spirituality and light. The answer is a quick and emphatic NO, although I may have to rethink that line about still having some brain cells left to kill.

    enough wires to string a harp, that’s fucking funny! DMT is weird, it’s on 20 minutes, then it’s off for an hour, then it’s on again for 10 minutes, then it’s off for 20 minutes, then it’s on for an hour and a half. you end up wondering with each rush if it’s gunna be the last one (which can kinda flip you out). my last time lasted 3 days and I hallucinated so much that I couldn’t see for the last one of those days. totally worth it though…

    My roomate has a bottle of GHB, 500ml evian water type of bottle, and she hid it cause every time i would do coke alone in the appartment i’d sneak in to her room and pour some in my gatorade… The main effect of GHB is that it makes you horny as fuck… It’s weird that you can’t find it, cause here in Montreal everyone and there sister is on GH. My lucky roomate spend two hours in the hospital last friday with a guy she tought she was going to fuck, but the guy decided to OD instead, so they were kicked out of the taxi and he was having convulsions on the sidewalk on st-laurent street… He’s dumb, he should have chose to fuck my roomate instead of wipping out on juice, cause my roomy fucks really good… especially on GH…

    My chemist roommate in college acquired some DMT for us, and my experience of riding the snake involved me writhing around on the floor wideyed, alternately screaming and drooling, while simultaneously feeling as if I was out of my body watching myself act in this ridiculous manner.

    You can make your own DMT from the root-scrapings of the illinois bundleweed , easily and still legally available from any “entheogen” supplier. You just have to cultivate it. Or just find it on the side of the road.
    Has anyone ever tried the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds? Another barfer because the seed casings contain an emetic. We mixed it with tomato soup to hide the disgusting taste and I still haven’t had another bowl since the experience, about a year ago. I guess you’ve gotta be a little miserable if you want to get to that sweet LSA which is only a few letters away from LSD, by my calculations.

    And, Goad, your torso may be toned, but you need to tone down your drug usage to be considered someone who takes care of his health. I know I don’t need to explain to you why these illegal substances can kill you very soon.
    Even people who go to the gym, but then smoke on their way home, are pathetic. It demonstrates they only work out for vain reasons, not health reasons.
    Anyhow, your having a kid soon… you might just be the funnest dad ever… I would want you to live as long as possible. That would require a little more self-control when it comes to harsh drugs.
    Yeah, sure, you think I am a pussy. But why is someone as smart as you doing something as stupid as this?

    Zane Thaddeus Goad is due to drop in two weeks tops. My middle name is Thaddeus. To cast a solid vote of confidence in my future, mom chose it in honor of St. Jude Thaddeus, Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes. Thanks, mom. Passing the name on to my son will hopefully help give him a sense of humor. It’s also my way of poking my dead mom in the ribs, the cunt.

    I’d like to seize this opportunity to add that I’m 100% in favor of ORIGINAL bigotry.

    You’re dynamo, Goad. At first, when I read your Wikipedia article, I thought you were a misogynist. (Feminists don’t realize that hitting women is so frowned upon because men are generally stronger physically. This means that men who hit women are abusing their power. Women who hit men and expect not to be hit back because people sympathize more with abused women are also abusing their power. We have more power to extract sympathy from the masses.) I’ve only been reading your work for a couple of days and I’m not familiar with your “persona” or whatever yet. I still firmly believe you are a great role-model. It’s just that one has to read more that Wiki to understand that.
    And you are not pretentious. People say that because your intelligence is intimidating and that makes others feel stupid. To feel better about themselves, they label you as “pompous” to explain why they feel belittled. In addition, you keep saying you are cocky. You can’t be cocky if after every self-aggrandizing statement you say you are being cocky.
    Your interviews are the most scintillating I have ever read, ever.
    That’s it, “unfeeling ogre,” you are my hero.

  28. EvilShmoo says:

    DMT is the only hallucinogen produced in the human body. Your pineal gland makes it and releases it at birth, death and possibly other times which may account for things such as spiritual epiphany or u.f.o abduction stories. If you take DMT alone it is processed quickly but the effects can be prolonged by taking it with an MAO inhibitor (this is the cocktail that makes up ayahuasca or yaga). Have you tried TCB10?

  29. Dr. Furious says:

    dear umm…. shut the fuck up. If you can stop blowing your goad load for a nanosecond here’s a cold hard reality lesson – You’re creaming over a dude whose science is either so bad or his prejudice so strong that he still actually fucking believes the widddddeeeeely discredited BELL CURVE and uses it (almost singularly) to inform his (actually racist) nonsense opinions. Fuck that book, its a lighthouse for losers. Goad, step up your science game son.

  30. umm... says:

    Wait, are you serious? He believes intellectual capablities vary between races? And it’s not part of his “persona” or whatever? That’s really warped. That’s it. I jumped off the Goad love boat. I would rather drown that commend an actual racist.
    Yikes:

    “Luke: “How do you feel about Jews as a people?”

    Jim: “You’ve got to love the Jews. As I said in The Redneck Manifesto, ‘I’m no fan of white supremacy. Everyone knows the chinks and the Jews are superior.’ You’ve got to love any tribe that consistently outpaces whitey by 15-points on standardized IQ tests.”

    Luke: “Normally people hate people who excel them.”

    Jim: “I try to let it rub off. Jealousy is one of the lowest things humans are capable of. I admire the Jews and the chinks. It trips people up because it’s a racist notion but it’s not a supremacist notion so they are not sure what to make of it. I don’t believe in equality but I don’t believe my group is the best.”

    Luke: “Do you believe in the book The Bell Curve and its intelligence rankings for different races?”

    Jim: “I’ve never seen anything that adequately refutes it. From my experience, Asians and Jews are amazing. I did an article for Playboy about 13 years ago about Vietnamese gangs in Orange County. Wow. I knew that I would never be able to put a raft out of popsicle sticks together and go over there and have a Lexus within two years. “

  32. Jim Goad says:

    Dr. Furious, you are a bold, brave, and daring person in 2008 for placing your hands on your hips and taking a stance against racism, which everyone in the media openly embraces and supports. It’s rare you’ll find a shred of anti-racist sentiment anywhere in popular culture these days, and your willingness to adopt such a risky, career-ending stance is a thunderous testament to your truth-seeking maverick character. I’m duly impressed.

    I’m currently in the process of doing massive research for my upcoming “Race” project, and rest assured that no racist or anti-racist theory will remain unexamined, because those anti-racist self-appointed slayers of stereotyping—who, ironically, tend to think in the most cartoonishly stereotypical manner regarding anyone who dares question their beliefs, which are more accurately depicted as a folk religion than anything approximating science—have never run across someone so obsessively dedicated to examining all angles of an issue once he’s decided to tackle it. Even my editors at relatively mainstream outlets such as Playboy and Simon & Schuster offered me their unsolicited opinion that they’d never encountered a writer so thoroughly dedicated to fact-checking and footnoting his work as I am.

    From what I’ve observed so far, there have been dozens and dozens of books devoted to ATTEMPTING to discredit “The Bell Curve,” but as tends to be the case with many of those sort of things, they seemed to run far more on cognitive-dissonance-fueled emotion than anything even close to logic or science. There have also been reams of paper devoted to defending “The Bell Curve,” too. There are highly respected, world-renowned anthropologists and biologists who fall all over the spectrum regarding this issue. Your flimsy assertion that “science” is uniformly barking out the transparent fallacy that “race doesn’t exist” can be easily disproved. But again, I’m approaching the project with an open mind—just as I decided to shed many of my PC opinions back in the late 1980s when it began dawning on me that they didn’t withstand even the mildest logical scrutiny—and will allow my research to take me wherever the hell it leads me. There’s a difference between wanting to know the truth and wanting to be right, and despite the ferocity with which I defend the things I’ve written, I’d much rather know the truth.

    If you’re ever in the Atlanta area, I’d like to extend my open invitation to come visit my neighborhood, where my wife and I are the only white family on the block. Then, and only then, will we be able to see who gets along better with black people, you fuckin’ playa-hater.

  33. Jim Goad says:

    to “umm…”

    You said:

    “Well, now your son will have great genes and a great name.”

    Then you said:

    “He believes intellectual capablities vary between races?…That’s really warped.”

    So do you believe that genes have an influence on the quality of one’s offspring or not? I took a deep whiff and picked up a strong stench of logical inconsistency there.

    It’s not a matter of “believing” things. Those who believe in innate human equality, either from person-to-person or among groups, rest solely on beliefs rather than evidence.

  34. cgi says:

    yeah but this article sucks. its fuckin boring. i know plenty of old men who’v taken drugs before. they talk about it way more interestingly than this guy too.

    ive never read a more boring drug story in all my life (and theres been too many to read)

  35. cgi says:

    its just about say something controversial and then ride its coat-tails to fame and notoriety.

    you’ve just got the wrong idea about race, because you cant measure shit, and whose qualities and strengths you approve of over others is a construct of your own mind / society.

    i think asians are good at maths, and i like maths and think its good, but i cant do maths for shit, and so i dont think asians are superior.

    i like basketball, i think its pretty neat to watch, i think theres a lot of black americans that are good at basketball, but i dont give a shit about basketball, so i dont think black americans are superior.

    making up millions of stupid rules about what constitutes a quality, and how you rank those qualities as opposed to other qualities, is something white people are very good at, i think it is interesting to do that sometimes, but at the end of the day i dont give a shit about it, so i dont think white people are superior.

    nobody really believes in racial equality, so what you’re saying is not really hugely important or earth shattering, this is just mindless jabber on the intwerpnet.

    i get the impression someone just drinks too much coffee before posting, thats all

  36. Dr. Furious says:

    Goad :

    Well shit, Moses himself is coming down from the mountaintop with the DEFINITIVE WORD ON RACE (TM). Hell, throw in that deeply moving and personal subplot about your plight as a racist martyr boldly living among The Blacks (!!!) and we await the coming avalanche of Nobel Prizes with baited breath. Listen, asshole, “playa-hatin” aside, and speaking as someone who actually works in the field and knows this isn’t the forum for this, let me just say this – Anyone who applies a shred of intellectual rigour to the subject knows that the fallacy that is “race doesn’t exist”. It’s wrong, offensive, pandering and has been the basis of way too many misguided Government initiatives. BUT to assert biological causes (over sociopolitical, cultural, etc etc ) is scientifically WRONG and will, ultimately, bring you only failure and shame. Also, an anti-racist buffalo stance isn’t about being a maverick or some bullshit juvenile bravado, and your instinct to defer to such probably reveals more about your approach than you’d like to admit (if endless yammering about DRUGS! or BLACK PEOPLE! didn’t already clue us in). No, it’s about not being a fucktard when something actually matters. So unless your physicians weren’t able to definitively rule out your brain tumour as an excess build-up of stupidity, then you seriously need to get with the scientific program, you fuckin hack.

  37. Jim Goad says:

    1) The proper term is “bated breath,” not “baited.” Keep calling me stupid, and I’ll keep pointing out your grammatical blunders.

    2) To infer that I’m claiming victimhood or martyrdom for living among blacks rather than perhaps tossing a biscuit’s worth of evidence for my innate tolerance and ease in dealing with them—a simple factual statement to counter your initial misguided suggestion that I’m someone whose “prejudice [is] strong”, which was apparently designed to poison the well and foster bushels of cheap, ready-made prejudice against me in a societal climate that reflexively demonizes anyone even SUSPECTED of being a racist—is to distort and infuse my comments with your own emotional agenda.

    3) For all the innate compassion with which left-leaners like to think their cells are saturated, I’ve noticed a tendency these days for them to be FAR more likely to stoop to ad-hominem attacks than the opposition. There’s a bitterness, a crabbiness, and a palpable hatefulness in nearly everyone who deems themselves an anti-hate warrior that might dissuade otherwise open-minded folks from wanting to join their team. Funny how Mr. Retarded Nazi tends to stick to the matters at hand rather than directly insulting you. I find it much more effective to shoot holes though your poor reasoning than to merely call you “stupid.”

    4) “Anyone who applies a shred of intellectual rigour to the subject knows that the fallacy that is “race doesn’t exist”.

    That’s a sentence that bleeds, stumbles, and keels over from its own awkward construction. A superficial review of your phrasing would lead one to believe you’re agreeing “race doesn’t exist” is a fallacy. Either way, the fact that social constructs exist in no way renders a scientific approach to the topic impossible or undesirable. If, on the other hand, you think that race doesn’t exist, then one could also make a case that racists don’t exist, either, so I’m unsure why you’d work yourself up over the issue.

    5) The fact that you conflate voodoo terms such as “wrong” and “offensive” with the word “science” only serves to underline my suspicion that you have a hard time distinguishing between emotion and logic.

    6) Bully for you that you “work in the field.” Where you err is that you portray “the field” as a monolith of unanimous opinion and you’re too uninformed or intellectually dishonest to admit that the case is far from closed and that several entities “in the field” who are likely far better-known, credentialed, and respected than I’m assuming you are might disagree strongly with you.

  38. cgi says:

    cgi-
    “what kind of a grown man spends so much time with catty little child-game arguments on the internet?”
    Was that supposed to be a burn on Goad? You just made fun of him for bothering talking to you.
    Goad-
    It’s stupid to equate intelligence with grammatical correctness and eloquent syntax. Anyway, Dr. Furious was probably rushed.
    “Dr. Furious, you are a bold, brave, and daring person in 2008 for placing your hands on your hips and taking a stance against racism, which everyone in the media openly embraces and supports.”
    Taking a stance against racism is actually a lot more unique than it should be. Fox News called Michelle Obama “Obama’s Baby Mama”… people are selling monkey stuffed animals of Barack Obama… it’s everywhere. And being original is not the most significant thing in life. Thomas Picton is original. I would rather be ethical.

  40. umm... says:

    “to assert biological causes (over sociopolitical, cultural, etc etc ) is scientifically WRONG and will, ultimately, bring you only failure and shame.”
    I agree, Dr. Furious.

  41. umm... says:

    Goad-
    “So do you believe that genes have an influence on the quality of one’s offspring or not? I took a deep whiff and picked up a strong stench of logical inconsistency there.”
    There is no inconsistency there. I never denied genes have a large impact on the quality of one’s offspring. But race does not. Your race affects your genes, but you never proved that certain races influence the quality of one’s genes better than other races. Don’t just cite IQ scores; prove that it is genetics, and not opportunity that makes Jewish people and Chinese people “smarter.” And, one’s score on an IQ test does not flawlessly measure intelligence. And, I look forward to reading your definition of intelligence because there isn’t a specific definition of intelligence. ‘Capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.” is a little vague, no?

    The consensus in the filed of psychology is that our character is about 90 percent due to our genes and 10 percent due to nurture. So, I am relying on evidence. If a smart person mates with a smart person, they will likely have smart progeny than if a stupid person mates with a stupid person. You are the one who isn’t giving adequate proof. Prove that Jewish people are generally smarter, than I will agree that Jewish people make sharper offspring than certain other races.

  42. Racism’s a field now? Stupid groundskeepers. Groundskeepers are stupid now? Well, Gah-lee!

    Ol’ boy Jim may brandish his “livin’ ‘mongst blacks” merit badge a tad too often, but I get the feeling he just wants us to know he’s not living alone in a tar-paper shack somewhere in the Appalachians. I also get the sense that Jim likes to argue(maybe it’s that he responds to any random jerk who thought he was gonna get the last word) but he also tries to be fair. When someone likes to argue but also plays fairly, they cite evidence, usually. They may even go a step further and cite evidence that doesn’t agree with their conclusions, to be fair. Now then, Jim wrote: “Either way, the fact that social constructs exist in no way renders a scientific approach to the topic impossible or undesirable.”. We’ve probably all heard of the social sciences referred to as the “soft sciences”(is that “We’ve probably all…” pretentious? whoops) mainly b/c of the reliance on quantitative vs. qualitative data. If you test a subject(person) once it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the same result the next day(same person). So if any social science study can cut the mustard(I’ll prob eat it on this one) it must be vast in quantity in relation to the subject(topic) of the study. As far as coming to something conclusive about races, like a truth that will act as a balm to all our pent-up conflicting feelings on race, I’m not gonna hold my breath. To be honest, I don’t see how any scientific study or a synthesis of a multitude of them could provide anything more profound than people like to be treated decently and most of the time when you treat them as such(like, you know, going out on limb to ask how they’re doing), they’re more than happy to respond in kind. From my work in the “field” (I work at a library with I’d guess a 50% black staff) this golden rule thing has worked golden-ly. But perhaps I’m missing the point of the research, Jim. I assume you want to come a conclusion a bit deeper than “be nice”. But I know WHY to “be nice” too. I thought this entry was about fun, funny drugs.

  43. umm... says:

    I would not describe you as a racist, though. Although I think it was foolish to say you easily “deal with” black people because it implies they are a burden, you say some bright things that are anti-racist.

    I’m sure you’ve heard this “reasoning” before, probably in a bar from the gin-besotted mouth of some vile racist who should really have his teeth knocked out…scratch that, he should be KILLED…for ever thinking such a thing, much less articulating it.

    Superficially, it’s meant to imply that there are some good black people…most of ‘em, even.

    Wow, thanks, Whitey. That really feels good to hear it. We REALLY need your help.

    But scratch a little deeper, and what you find is just another divide-and-conquer scheme perpetrated by The Man.

    The idea that only a few black people are niggers is divisive. It splits up the blacks and the niggers.

    Harmony will roll from the hills, justice will peal from the mountaintops, when we preach that all black people are niggers and all niggers are black people.”

    I know this simply because I know Marines who pump themselves full of roids…. If you don’t work out ridiculously the testerone will turn into estrogen (the female hormones for you laymans) thereby giving dudes emo faggy feelings and bitch tits.

    You guys can now go back to posting your own retarded drug experiences and the topic of race (How did THAT happen???). Just letting you know however for the sake of my two cents, yes, genetics is important passing off genes however IQ isn’t the definite definer of anybody’s (let alone an entire race of people) intelligence. You should take note that IQ can be altered and IQ levels are higher with people in “economic superior” backgrounds. Mind you yes, white people happen to be rich and Asians and Jews are the “model minority” but for the sake of argument which came first better IQ scores off the bat that got people rich or better livehoods that got people good IQ scores. But that is ALL I have to say about that…

    I also like to note that even with us gooks and our superior brain power most of the fucking Asian continent has been a war ravaged shit hole for the past century.

    99% of you fucks don’t even own the Street Carnage DVD’s but you act like you’re the #1 supporter.

    “Was that supposed to be a burn on Goad? You just made fun of him for bothering talking to you.”

    cgi’s posts were so utterly brain-deprived, I didn’t bother talking to cgi at all. Again, get your facts straight before attempting to spar with me.

    “It’s stupid to equate intelligence with grammatical correctness and eloquent syntax.”

    I’m not making an absolute equation and never have. But when someone tosses the word “stupid” at me without demonstrating any errors in my reasoning—as you’ve just done yourself—apart from exposing their logical fallacies, it’s the closest I have to…ahem…a SCIENTIFIC tool of proving they have cognitive deficiencies.

    “Fox News called Michelle Obama “Obama’s Baby Mama”… people are selling monkey stuffed animals of Barack Obama… it’s everywhere. ”

    It’s not everywhere, at least not nearly as much as the ubiquitous anti-white slurs and stereotyping one finds in popular culture these days and which NEVER get huge media play like the “Baby Mama” and monkey-doll stories. The situation is akin to the lopsided media reporting of interracial violence. In 1999, according to the Bureau of Justice, the aggregate number of violent black-on-white crimes outnumbered the inverse at a clip of roughly 7 to 1. Factor into that statistic the fact that blacks are outnumbered by whites (let’s lowball this one) by at least 5 to 1, and you have “the average” black about 35 or so times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than the inverse. But would you even suspect that fact from watching the news?

    The problem, as usual, is semantic: Even though in many cases racial slurs are uttered during the commission of these crimes, the media is, for fear of being branded with the scarlet letter of racism, afraid to describe them as hate crimes. But I’ll be doggoned if it doesn’t seem as if EVERY FUCKING TIME a white commits a violent crime against a black, not only is it deemed a “hate crime,” it’s blown into a massive media story. By default, a “hate crime” is considered to be white-on-black.

    By the by, you’re reading FAR too much into my “deal with” phrase regarding blacks, and probably only because you wish to. Perhaps “interact with” would have been a better choice of words in that case, and I notice you blithely skipped over my original phrasing, which was “get along with.” And I’ll stop noting that I live in an all-black neighborhood the moment the scrubs who likely live in much whiter ‘hoods than I do lay off on the accusation of intolerance and prejudice. Don’t hold your “baited” breath on that one, though.

    “Prove that Jewish people are generally smarter, than I will agree that Jewish people make sharper offspring than certain other races.”

    “some vile racist who should really have his teeth knocked out…scratch that, he should be KILLED…for ever thinking such a thing, much less articulating it.”

    OK, now, that’s simply psychotic. But thank you for making gazelle-like strides toward proving my point that the truly intolerant ones these days are the anti-hate warriors. At least on the surface, saying “not all blacks are niggers” doesn’t seem to me nearly as hateful or intolerant or violently hellbent on extermination as saying anyone who so much as THINKS such a thing should be killed.

    Some quick comments for Taeil: There are studies that have shown that identical twins separated at birth and raised in drastically different economic backgrounds still tend to score almost identically on IQ tests upon reaching adulthood, which would seem to tip the scales in favor of “nature” over “nurture.” Besides, being Asian, you should really know how to spell “testosterone,” although a few (but not all) studies imply you’re naturally endowed with less of it.

    And how did the topic turn from drugs to race? Ask Dr. Furious. But I’m writing a book on the topic, so don’t expect me to shut the fuck up about it when people bust in on the thread with armies of straw men shooting at me.

    Re : your 6 points response to me

    Really, your points did little to “poke holes in my intellectual reasoning” and a good portion of your response consisted of odd out-of-place partisan ranting against “left-leaners” and typo/grammar police bullshit. So if and when your DEFINITIVE WORD ON RACE (TM) somehow gets published and your creative writing (that is what it is) career immediately goes tits-up as a result, at least you might be able to score a job copy-editing my work. Any typos so far?

    Look, redundant use of the word “than” in the typo you so effectively and cuttingly exposed in point 3 notwithstanding, I stand by what I typed. My use of “voodoo” terms like wrong and offensive are short hand for larger logical and rhetorical deficiencies because we’re on the fucking Street Carnage forum and I’m meeting your sledgehammer rhetoric with kind. If your interested in getting peer reviewed all to shit and back, you’ll get that bomb James Watson- style if you ever do publish what you are proposing. More likely though, you’ll be ignored, because you’re a hack from the margins with zero credibility on such matters who has contributed nothing to any real research or discourse other than perhaps a sideshow case-study of megalomania.

    Bottom line – race is very real, and deserves a serious and critical examinination in contemporary society(ies), but seriously asserting baseline biological causes is bad science with an agenda. If anybody disagrees or is interested I encourage them to hit the journals (not streetcarnage) and do the research for themselves.

  59. Loomis says:

    Maybe anonymous forums love discussing race so much because it’s never discussed elsewhere and it’s a place where people can finally be honest about something that affects us all. Here is the Achilles heel with the Nurture over Nature argument:
    IDENTICAL TWINS SEPARATE AT BIRTH: Same car, same dog, same profession, same income, similar looking spouses. The list goes on. You can blame the outside world all you want but the truth is we are who we are from birth. Basically, life is about 90% Nature, 10% Nurutre.

    http://www.identicalstrangersbook.com/

  60. Mark says:

    The problem/question I have with this discussion on race and genetics, is that I am not sure what purpose it serves. The question itself seems to come from a place of resentment, rather than a place of attempting to improve the situation. Lets say that one day you finally manage to prove that whites are intrinsically more intelligent than blacks (and that Jews are more intelligent than etc…); and that it is, as Loomis says, 90% Nature and 10% Nurture. How would you then suggest we should change policies? Would you just give up on nurturing and trying to help out people who are born into difficult circumstances? What percentage of “nurture” needs to be in effect for you to honor the fact that the circumstances of peoples birth plays a role in un-leveling the playing field? Why is it so important for you to prove that people are innately unequal, and if you do manage to prove it, what do you do with that information?

  61. Loomis says:

    It doesn’t matter what your motive is or what people might do with the information. The point is it’s truth and nobody’s allowed to limit your pursuit of truth.

    There are generalizations that can be made. Now, you can never apply these generalizations and say, “Sorry, you’re Irish. You can’t work at this bar because you’ll drink all the booze” but knowing the vast majority of Irish are drunks is helpful information. It could explain things like heart disease or even domestic problems.

    As they say in the Bell Curve, this information is only helpful when looking at large groups of people. An individual can always be an exception.

  62. Dr. Furious says:

    ^^^

    Exactly. For a guy so sure he can do nothing short of completely redefining existing scientific paradigms, Goad (perhaps inevitably) doesn’t seem very interested in science. Realistically, in our current framework of understanding, establishing racial hierarchy based on biological factors is right up there with, oh I don’t know, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics in terms of likelihood of success. But you don’t see superscientist Jim Goad chomping at the bit to take on any other near-impossible tasks like overthrowing the Second Law, do you? Of course not. Those pursuits wouldn’t be the means to the end he needs to satisfy some deep-rooted prejudice within him. I don’t know, I’ll leave his motivations to the (armchair) psychologists. I just think the guy is fucked. And sad. And, worst of all, an internet grammar fascist.

  63. Dr. Furious says:

    for clarity, my previous comment was affirming Mark’s point.

  64. H and R spells Mark says:

    Er, scientists like Phillip Rushton have been confirming the science of racial hierarchies for years. Sociobiology has been marching forward despite PC crybabies protests ever before, during, and after the Bell Curve. They just don’t discuss their research on mainstream news media because little kids like Dr Furious get too mad.

    In response to Loomis: “It doesn’t matter what your motive is or what people might do with the information. The point is it’s truth and nobody’s allowed to limit your pursuit of truth.”

    So is that what this whole racial question is about — the search for truth? I don’t buy it. There are a lot of questions out there to be asked. The fact that someone continually finds themselves drawn to seeking the truth about “racial equality” smacks of either an agenda or a grudge (or perhaps a desire to ruffle feathers). I am not questioning Jim Goad’s right to discuss race and genetics. I am asking him what his agenda is (beyond shooting down the PC’s falsehoods). The people who have spent years trying to prove that different races are not inherently unequal certainly have an agenda (one that I agree with for the most part). Part of that PC agenda is to level what is seen as an un-level playing field, and to prevent biased policies from being kept in place. What is the agenda behind trying to prove that different races are genetically superior in various field?

    “Part of that PC agenda is to level what is seen as an un-level playing field, and to prevent biased policies from being kept in place….What is the agenda behind trying to prove that different races are genetically superior in various field?”

    What if you were actually able to “level the playing field” and, say, Asians shot right to the top within the space of a generation? What then? Would you keep trying to hobble Asians by law in order to create the illusion of equality simply because you wished it to be true and it seemed like a nice idea?

    And have you ever considered that maybe the playing field WAS level a long, long time ago and that countless “social inequities” arose merely because some groups proved more capable in certain areas? Is it possible that the “level playing field” was EXACTLY what led to the problems you bemoan? And if so, is it realistic or desirable to keep denying it, to continue enforcing arbitrary and essentially unfair rules in order to foster this illusion of equality merely because, God forbid, no one wants to upset your fragile sense of equilibrium?

    As far as I can tell, there isn’t a civilization on Earth that hasn’t considered itself the freakin’ apple of God’s eye and hasn’t tried to conquer others. So why single out those who proved more capable at a game that everyone tried to play? If anything, I believe a fair amount of opprobrium should be heaped upon those who tried and failed.

    I never wished for people to be innately unequal. I’d have no real purpose for doing so. I obviously feel highly superior to almost everyone, so there’s no pressing need for me to prove my “group” is the bee’s knees. But if “equality” is being shoved down everyone’s throats to the degree that anyone who dares question it risks their career, lifelong social ostracism, and possible physical assault, then I naturally become highly suspicious of it. And if you want to call me all manner of naughty names merely for trying to investigate whether my suspicions may be true, I can handle it, li’l buddy.

    Danielle opens her yap and says:

    “Thank you for admitting that the things you have written are indeed far from the truth.”

    Point to ONE THING I’ve presented as a factual statement that was false. I mean, back in the VICE “Fun Facts About Slavery” article, I stated that the Australian convict trade started IN 1776, when the point I was trying to make was that it started AFTER 1776 (in 1787, to be precise), when it was no longer viable to send convicts to America. Regardless of the nitpicking, my essential point remained intact. And I admitted that was technically an error, because I’m unbearably valiant. Beyond that, over the course of a 300,000-word thread of responses, they all tried to catch me making errors in that article and couldn’t.

    Otherwise, I’m drawing blanks there, Danielle. I simply don’t know that of which you speak. Help me out, ‘K?

    Don’t throw down the gauntlet and then scurry away refusing to back up your statements. Point to a SINGLE FUCKING THING I’ve presented as a FACTUAL statement that was instead “far from the truth.” I’m not talking about opinions, because it’s often hard or impossible to prove that subjective statements are right or wrong, but you can take a crack at those if you’d like, too. I ain’t a-skeered of you, and I’m usually capable of supporting my opinions with an arsenal of facts. I’m not talking about rants that were obviously satirical in tone, either, such as certain screeds back in the ANSWER Me! days. I’m talking about things where it appeared I was trying to make a factual statement but it was wrong, wrong, wrong.

    If you can, indeed, find something I’ve stated as a fact that was factually errant, I’ll be the first to acknowledge it. This is because, as I said before you warped my words for your own prejudicial purposes, I’d rather know the truth than be right.

    Otherwise, go shove a rutabaga in your mouth.

    You can’t fuck with me. My Kung Fu is too strong.

  73. Mark says:

    ” So why single out those who proved more capable at a game that everyone tried to play? If anything, I believe a fair amount of opprobrium should be heaped upon those who tried and failed.”

    Opprobrium… huh… I had to look that one up. Well, you definitely win the vocabulary war. Linguistic-might, however, does not make right.

    If I follow your argument to it’s logical conclusion, shame does not lie in attempting to colonize, enslave, or annihilate other races, but rather in attempting these things and failing. He who can conquer (because conquering has always been the game) should therefore conquer without compunctions?

    And “why single out those who proved more capable at [the] game”…? I don’t need to single out the more capable: history does that for us. The more capable races and civilizations have always fallen eventually, because of their inability to play nicely with the less capable races (who generally outnumber the more capable ones or else find another means to overthrow them). In the long run, this Social Darwinism you espouse tends to have equally nasty consequences for the current winners as it does for the losers.

    Perhaps the ostracism that you have had thrown your way is merely a symptom of the natural order trying to right itself – that is, as the dominant race is now on it’s way down, the popular media is no longer welcoming to your views and is expunging what it sees as destructive ideas from its evolving body. One race can only stay on top for so long before the “natural order” balances itself out. For that matter, one species can only stay on top for so long. Given the implications of the discussion we are having, and how detrimental Social Darwinism in action is proving to be for our environment, it seems that we human beings might do mother-natures job for her, and wipe ourselves off the planet so that a more capable species can take our place.

    With this in mind, working against what one perceives to be social inequities is not about guilt, but rather, it is an act of self-preservation.

  74. Jim Goad says:

    Mark:

    I think we’re in alignment regarding the processes that make civilizations rise and fall. A great book that covers the topic in detail is “The Lucifer Principle” by Howard Bloom.

    But merely because something doesn’t directly serve the needs of the majority herd doesn’t automatically make it untrue.

    But be careful to distinguish between “espousing” something and “thinking it may be true.” Regarding the topic of intellectual disparities, I’d go with the latter. And being raised Catholic and shuttled through their repressive system for 12 flippin’ years, I find myself naturally drawn to taboos. Intellectual inequality among social groups is one of the most suppressed topics in the world today, so naturally I’m going to poke at it with a dirty stick.

    Or maybe I do “espouse” it in some way. I honestly feel that if breeding were forbidden to anyone under a certain IQ level, it’d only take a generation or two before the world was a much better place. But since whitey tends to fall right in the middle of the race-IQ continuum, my position is hardly a white-supremacist one. As long as I’m breeding, too, I say all the Jews and nips should keep a-fuckin’!

    I’m glad you seem to be one of the rare souls who can admit that going along with the flock is more a strategic act of self-preservation than simply a sanctimonious “right thing to do.”

  76. Dr. Furious says:

    One more thing – equality in the political sphere, which you are so eager to subvert, is, at its best, a commitment to universal human rights, and to policies that treat people as individuals rather than as members of a group; it is not an empirical claim that all groups are indistinguishable. I wish you would show some evidence of grasping this.
