I can guarantee your wish will come true.



Oh, OK. It's pretty well known that black people average out lower in IQ tests than whites, and Asians higher. This leads fairly quickly to the validity of IQ tests as a measure of anything, as well as to the aforementioned foolishness. Some people seem incapable of understanding that racial or ethnic or national or sex averages tell you precisely NOTHING about the individual standing in front of you.

And easily explained why they do have lower on an average out basis than whites- school, quality of teachers- economics- poverty levels- single families- to name a few.

But racists will use anything they can twist to get their hatred across.

Medic once explained to me that he doesn't see very well. Not sure how he can read anyone else's posts, given that explanation, though. Anyway, I explained to him that he should learn to use the zoom function in the tools bin of his browser.

What with? Perhaps food that actually still has a flavor other than sugary or salty?

I was not aware of this. I should have thought of it myself by the repeated posts and font size- I was dumb and inconsiderate. I have sent an apology to Medic for my post.
LG- Thanks for letting me know.

It may "lead fairly quickly" to the assumption that IQs don't measure anything excep the ability to take an IQ test, but that assumption isn't a conclusion. The question remains as to why some races score high and lower if, as we are given to accept, the only difference between the races is the melanin content in their skin.

I suppose it keeps the peace--the science and politics of race is often toxic. But it's still funny watching liberals tie themselves up in knots over it.

Not even that. There are, for example, plenty of Europeans who have a higher melanin content than many Africans.

I'm pretty much with the liberals on defining the problem. I'm with the conservatives on solutions.

A persons IQ is dependent on the food they eat, particularly fish consumption. This has been scientifically verified in work done last year by Dr Something or Other at that big US university out west. I'll find the link soon.

The fact that you're letting politics colour how you view the study, goes to show you're incapable of analyzing it scientifically.

I have to admit I also let politics influence how I view people's reactions to the study.

For right-wing drooling imbeciles, I snicker. For left-wing drooling imbeciles, I chuckle.

If it wasn't for those drooling guys, we all might be in agreement. Then we would have nothing to talk or laugh about. :-(

She was informed it was offensive- She decided to repeat it.

Are you suggesting you would stop talking in a particular fashion just because somebody said it was offensive? Would you stop posting here if I said I found your posts offensive?

Actually, as a self-identified liberal myself, it woud be more partisan for me to stick to the liberal line The fact is that liberals are capable of being anti-science just as much as the conservatives.

Do those laws apply here?
So what would your answer be?
