Seems like you're really having fun with this new book you discovered.
Nice to know my tax dollars aren't going to waste paying for the
education program down at your facility.

Looks like you did exactly that in your response to "Jet", bozo. 
Please as your next word refer to "hypocrite" (hyp*o*crit)  (noun)

Your presenting of facts, figures and averages is understood.

Both you and Mr. Knight are attempting to maintain that because of
these "averages", either the exceptional individuals must apparently
not exist; their feats and accomplishments are invalid for one reason
or another, or that it's dangerous to society to suggest that their
birth-group as a whole be allowed to have open access to certain
opportunities, privileges, freedoms and rights.

...So, in other words, you are trying to use these averages to justify
bigotry against individuals NO MATTER THEIR CAPABILITY.

Mr. Knight has even proposed there be legislation restricting these
birth groups from having the same equal rights and freedoms as men
(although I don't know if his proposals have extended to those of
certain ethnic backgrounds)

Of course, we don't need to worry too much that your plans will ever
come to fruition, because most of society recognizes when someone is a
stark, raving ...
