We Ashkenazi Jews are top scorers on IQ tests, averaging 124 on the Wechsler-Bellevue. The Japanese come in second at 117. But what does it mean? The only thing it predicts is how well you are going to do on your next IQ test. Last I heard science had defined over 30 different types of intelligence. No idea how many, if any, are tested for in IQ tests. Offline

There's no point in telling you why you are wrong because even I don't know why you are wrong. But you are just wrong because I don't agree with you, even though I don't know why I don't agree with you, I just plainly don't agree. Also, you smell like moose farts. Offline

Who wants to field this one without putting on a tin foil conspiracy nut hat? This could get really dark. Watson has yet to be proven correct even remotely and his various other comments regarding race leave little doubt where he was coming from with his assertions (he definitely is a racist ***). Race and intelligence isn't some scientific taboo but the problem with these studies is that we have no real way to measure what we consider intelligence. Like mentioned, IQ tests are iffy and only serve as a proxy at best.
Then add on how genetic factors interact with non-genetic ones (nature vs nurture). Even if there was a proven genetic link between race and intelligence, it would still remain a single factor among a multitude of others. Even if you were born mentally "superior" development wouldn't necessarily dictate to stay that way. It's fine to think about these connections but so far nothing supports them.

I don't like obviously loaded, purposely vague questions especially when I can't see what point you're trying to make.

I wanted you to tell everyone if you cared if the gay pride flag is burned in the same fashion. You know, to point out your hypocrisy. I haven't done that in a while because, well, you hardly post anymore. Asura.Kingnobody said: » Well, you certainly don't care if the US flag is burned. I wanted you to tell everyone if you cared if the gay pride flag is burned in the same fashion. You know, to point out your hypocrisy. I haven't done that in a while because, well, you hardly post anymore. You literally created an opinion for me, argued against it, then called me a hypocrite for something I never said. How fantastically dumb. Thanks for the laugh. Siren.Mosin said: » who's burning flags? trump? Offline

How fantastically dumb. Thanks for the laugh. I mean, that's the only explanation there is for you from dodging the direct question to you. But then again, that's what I expected from you, you have no conviction in your own rhetoric....no wonder you are so easily manipulated and completely taken in by the "flavor of the day" rhetoric your representative happens to be mad at that day. I would ask if you ever felt pride in anything, but that would require you to have conviction. You certainly don't have it, so what is there to be happy about?
