Whiile a larger precent of africans americans are in jail compared to whites, most african americans aren't in jail. I don't know if most of them are poor. Anyways, you can be derogatory and accurate at the same time. | ||

There is nothing genetic, nor instinctive, and actually it even tends to be the opposite. Anywaaaaaaaay, to move on to another stupid question: Some of you might have heard of the 'ITER Organization', localized in France, (it is a project to try out fusion by magnetic confinement as an energy source), but the specific thing is that once you go through the fences, you are not in France any more, you are in ITER Organization, with its own laws (most are the one from France, but not only) and law enforcement persons etc... Do any of you know about other places in similar case in the world (embassy and consulates excluded)? | ||

I very much doubt French criminal law is suspended on the ITER site and I can't find anything related to it after a quick googling. | ||

There is nothing genetic, nor instinctive, and actually it even tends to be the opposite. Of course this highly depends on your definition of strength, but if you take base physical strength, this statement is nonsense. Men are on average ~10 cm larger than women. This is pure genetics, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with what they are told to be. Based on this, men can on average accumulate more muscle mass at the same effort, and thus on average be stronger than women. Note that this does not mean that every woman is physically weak. I know that there are a lot of women out there that can easily kick my ass. Furthermore, physical strength in modern society loses its value more and more. I know it plays a very minor role in my life, mostly in carrying groceries up stairs. And if you are talking about something esoteric like "mental strength", you run into definition trouble really quickly, because i don't think there is a common agreement as to what that is or not. | ||

http://www.rense.com/general63/galaxyofgeneticdifferences.htm has some stuff bunched up together but the names and sources can be googled. Females can differ from each other almost as much as they do from males in the way many genes at the heart of sexual identity behave, researchers say. "Literally every one of the females we looked at had a different genetic story," says Duke University genetics expert Huntington Willard, who co-wrote the study. "It is not just a little bit of variation." All told, men and women may differ by as much as 2 per cent of their entire genetic inheritance, greater than the hereditary gap between humankind and its closest relative, the chimpanzee. "In essence," Willard says, "there is not one human genome, but two: male and female." that last part is some statement ... Edit: there are still some semantics involved here about the meaning of genetic/genes - do you look at gene level, the base pair level, you look at percentages or you look at numbers and so on. | ||

http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/Sex-differences-in-the-structural-connectome-of-the-human-brain.pdf What is known from simpler organisms is also true for humans: The wiring of the nerve cells in the brain differs between the sexes and reflects the different gender roles that became manifest over millions of years in our genes. This is in concordance with the differences we see in males having better motor and spatial skills and females having better memory and social cognition abilities. This is also the reason why jobs like pilot or brain surgeon will always be primarily male while jobs like nurse or kindergarten teacher will always be primarily female. | ||

It is an international zone in the same way an international airport is : international zone before border control, duty free exists because the local taxes do not apply. The French laws apply roughly the same way the US laws apply on the UN site in NY for example. The main impact is a diplomatical immunity for the people of the organization, a protection of the assets of the organization (including official documents). They cannot be seized by a French investigator unless authorized by the organization. There were quite a few debates to see if French laws should/could be applied for work contracts of the subcontractors on the site and for nuclear regulations and audits, to see if French regulation authorities were entitled to monitor the site. Not sure how those were settled. | ||

If you want to start talking about emotional strength than sure, that's a fair point; such a thing is probably harder to quantify than "How much can you lift" anyway. | ||

I assume a murder on the ITER site would still be prosecuted by French authorities? | ||

I knew my statement was not so true, but at least it made you look another way at some point :p (For instance in the anmal reign, you can find a lot of species where the female is dominant (both physically and 'mentally') About ITER Organization, French laws do apply as stated (at least by default, for some they are explicitly stated), but I was mostly wondering about other places in a similar situation. So we have the UN in New York, World Health Organization (not so sure about this one though). But international zone in airport are a bit different because you are in 'no country', not in a different entire international entity. | ||
