    There are other factors, but none as important as that.

    What quote were you planning on using?

    Although, I would argue that black people have better DNA statistically speaking. With the exception of sickle-cell anemia and a few others.

    That one?

    Gee, I hope that's not the pinnacle of my intelligence :(

    Going bad to the original thread, sortof, did you hear about the new add campaing for milk?

    They are using strips that smell like chocolate chip cookies in order to make your brain think "cookies, oh, and a glass of milk would go great with that".

    Whether or not the campaing is effective, no one knows yet, but this is definitely another form of the power of suggestion.

    See, it's like McDonald's using Spongbob or some shit to get kids to want to eat bad food.

    Well, they're trying to get people to drink milk... but I think they're probably just doing Oreo Cookies a favor.

    Yea, it's not as bad, but that's why they tie that stuff together. Some organizations use manipulation for positive reasons others for greed.
