So the first bit you post suggests that siblings have about a 50% chance of having the same intelligence as each other? Is that right its hard to tell without looking at the complete article, it doesnt however make any suggestion how they relate to parents. It just shows that it has a genetic basis. The second part about meiosis supports my view and remember whilst you got 50% of your genes from your mum 50% of that could well have been recessive genes that were not expressed in your mum which could, depending on what you got from your dad be expressed in you.
NorthernStar - MemberThat's why these people often complain that all the immigrants have 'stolen' their jobs. No, the immigrants have taken the jobs because they got off their arses and have moved to find work. They also tend to have the motivation to work hard and to turn up on time.
Some of these jobless British think that the lower paid work that immigrants often take is 'beneath them'.
The obvious logic of your comment is that if no British person was lazy all immigrants would be unemployed.
How have you come to the conclusion that immigrants wouldn't be able to find any work if British people were willing to work ? Is it something you have read somewhere ?
I was working on building sites long before the influx of East Europeans arrived to the UK, I cannot recall one single solitary example where construction work was unable to progress because potential British workers were too lazy or unwilling to 'get off their arses' - there were no empty plots waiting for East European to arrive so that construction work could begin.
Every Lithuanian or Romanian working on British building sites is stopping a British national from doing that particular job - simply because they are here, it has nothing to do with your rather racist and insulting suggestion that British workers are lazy.
Talk Talk and British Gas are now closing call centres, in the NW and Southampton, along with Peacocks stores sacking more staff.
But Tata Jaguarlandrover, at liverpool are taking on staff, hopefully some to send out rejection letters to those who where deemed unsuitable.
