Who's Better - Today's Stars or Yesteryear's Stars?

And you read in Medical Monthly that here has been a mutation to make us better?

You know what Logic tells me?

Logic tells me that we have excelled at using our minds and have created machines to do the bulk of things we used to do physically ourselves. So as genes are passed down from parent to child, we are losing some of our physical gifts at birth because life has become physically easier. Why do people need to go to the gym to stay in shape now?
When we never had to prior to a few decades ago?

Life has become easier for humans physically so natural logic says we are becoming weaker... which translates to less talent at birth....

Again. I'm not going to call you a fucking idiot if you disagree with me though.... That's the point of contention you must come to learn. Its okay to agree to disagree without having to hate on anything or anyone....

 

Huh?

Do all answers require a response when conversing? I've answered everything I felt was relevant.

I don't even know what your asking . Unless you just lost the rational convo and are back to playing games again. Of which ill gladly start ignoring you again..

 

Omg for the last fucking time..... I never said people are more talented today. Ever. I never said that. I said they're just as good.

 

Please read my post again. I'm not going to repeat myself sorry.

 

Less talent at birth? Are you serious right now? Lol.

 

I wasn't asking you to do anything. It was a rhetorical question. You have a hard time believing that today's stars are better than stars in be past. Cool. Me too. I never said they were.
They're just as good though.

 

OMG for the last fucking time. No one said you said they are more talented. You are asking for evidence based on medical facts. Im asking you for the same to prove that there hasnt been a decline or anything else.

 

Obviously your not... so have a day...

 

That's like saying, "prove to me that Asians aren't born good at math!" I don't need to prove it. The argument is fucking retarded.

 

You told me to prove they were better.... Implying that you think I said they are...

 

Not that I care, but that is a racist statement. and is also a direct conflict to what your argueing.

You cant generalize like that in such a large... you know what... nevermind. Not worth the time because your not able to converse rationally.

 

Couldn't have said it better.

 

Ahhh you could be right, but then isn't that a direct contradiction on all accounts for any generation of basketball?
He is saying the players are the same now and were no better then, and I'm saying prove it. Just like he is saying to prove it when I say they are better then compared to now. Doesn't that arguement go both ways? I mean doesn't it HAVE to go both ways or its just another ignorant statement meant to keep the bantering going without any rationality within ones' posts?

 

The problem is his LOGIC is still an opinion. I posted my logic about physical life being easier now than in prior decades. Its logical. It makes sense. We are lazier as a race than we ever have been in history, so its logical to think that our muscle mass has deteriorated, even if of the slimmest percentages. This is absolutely logical. And he asked it I was serious. He is not logical so thus insulted everyone who disagreed with him in the process..

Again, I don't care, but I will not accept a wrong as a right.

I will not accept someone telling me to be logical in the face of their ignorance. They will get a rebuttal until they prove they are unable to hold a mature conversation. Of which I default to two things. Stooping to ones level or ignoring. I stooped for a bit. Now I'm onto ignoring again, lo..

 

In the post you're talking about, he never insulted. Just sayin'.

The post you are talking about was a generalization of a different subject on page 1 or 2.

 

And here is Nate insinuating we need to prove something, Of which he later says its ridiculous to try to prove... What an oxymoron of convoluted events....

I think someone doesn't realize what they are saying... Or has forgot or something...

 

Here is my contradiction and its based on facts... not opinion. But it has helped to form my opinion, but I must be a fucking idiot for having it....

Obesity Rates: Then And Now
Approximately 10 percent of U.S. adults were classified as obese during the 1950s. In 2011 to 2012, however, the CDC reported approximately 35 percent of U.S. adults were obese; the prevalence of obesity among American adults has more than tripled within the last six decades.

National surveys of childhood obesity weren't recorded before 1963; however, the rate of childhood obesity in the U.S. began to rise in the 1980s. In 1980, 7 percent of children ages 6 to 11 were obese; in 2012, the rate was nearly 18 percent. In adolescents –12 to 19 years of age– the increase in obesity rates was more striking, climbing from 5 to 21 percent during the same period.

This is based off a study.
