Maybe that is why there are so many stupid people ruining our country today. They and/or their parents did too many drugs in their youth.

Personally I believe that broken marriages have the most adverse effect on the kids. I speak from experience. You feel disoriented, dislocated and distraught. one of the most damaging things to happen to a child, regardless of the reasons.
Not anymore, thankfully my marriage is still intact. I've always followed one philosophy - let your partner think she's right at least 55% of the time.
I'm not sure how much of a role intelligence plays........................sensible and wise maybe!
Oooooooooh, oooooooooooh the forum idiot has reared his head again!
Absolutely and deep love includes tough discipline when needed and the patience and wisdom to encourage a child do to as much for themselves as they can with your instruction.
Depends on how you define a threat! A "threat" comes from within a person's head. What can be dangerous is a valid threat!
I presume you mean people who think they're smart but really aren't, and I also think you're implicitly redefining intelligent to mean what you want it to mean. I know some very bright people--advanced degrees, high powered jobs--who are total pricks, and I know some not very bright people--grade 5 education and unemployed--who are the soul of kindness and generosity. No contest who I'd rather spend time with. Things aren't as simple as you seem to be suggesting.
I think part of planned parenthood should result in the most intelligent (aka kind person) parent being the one that raises the children just because less things have to be fixed later in their lives.
IQ's are based on what you already know, the areas that you lack can be filled by more education on the topic, forced as topic you already like will be scored high at the start. The balancing part means you can have an 'intelligent' conversation with the other 19 people in the room rather than only being able to relate to only a very few. Those are the ones you would view as being the most intelligent in the said room. That part should be no surprise.

Some people just feel threatened by intelligence - period. I worked for 6 years for one, he kept stressing how important it was to have control, yet it worked in reverse.
I think it is about balance,I am more leading on intelligence in some areas,others not so much and visa versa with my partner.
i would not want to be the "more" intelligent one always in our relationship,or even the dumb one in our relationship.
i know people who are perpetually dumb and naive and their partners are turned on by this.
i don't do numbers,my husband is the number dude,this is one of many examples that we share balanced intelligence.
of course we are both good at playing dumb,it is all balance.
and let it be known,it is important to make our partners feel we respect their intelligence,not the opposite means of making our partner feel dumb and not up to standards.
