[quote]goddamit. IQ tests are imperfect measures of intelligence.[/quote] no such a thing as perfect anything. It's pretty good though [quote=@SleepingSilence] [@Andreyich] *sigh* That's a stupid rebuttal. I'm sure doctors, lawyers and teachers want to feed their families too. Do we not pay them? [/quote] That's a shit analogy [quote]Again, non-statement. No, it's not greedy...If others -want- to pay you. You sound very much like someone demonizing a company for making money, right now and you didn't have that opinion before.[/quote] and that's a shit comparison/deduction. [quote]Because you don't seem to understand, that people should get paid for work.[/quote] That's not work lol especially since nobody even looks at the ads for these videos so they're a one man breakdown of any economic system. [quote]Again there's a lot of sub-par workers in general, they get paid too. :/ Whatever you're arguing, and at this point I'm not even sure what it is...it's wrong.[/quote] They get fired lol [quote]+12-17 points difference on average is not -very- little... [/quote] That's hyperbole, and because the smart get rich, not vice versa. [quote]The point remains that it doesn't even measure overall intelligence well at all...[/quote] Yes it does. Not perfectly but well enough for someone to come to all sorts of wonderful conclusions from it. [quote]I suppose that last statement kind of just goes past anything, but spiteful racism...[/quote] Man I'm fucking evil because I want the Chinese to stop dumping shit in our country and violating all sorts of international laws that even my country goes by and because they flood in their workers who via numbers replace the native workers thus increasing the already pretty big amount of poor people we have. Aren't I an evil bastard. ....................../´¯/) ....................,/¯../ .................../..../ ............./´¯/'...'/´¯¯`·¸ ........../'/.../..../......./¨¯\ ........('(...´...´.... ¯~/'...') .........\.................'...../ ..........''...\.......... _.·´ ............\..............( ..............\.............\... saying shit like that is how ordinary edgelords like me get radicalized EDIT: I also realized that this is in a way similar to what happened in some of the middle east, with my country playing some arab nation and China being the U.S. and the poster above somebody annoying an already disgruntled person from there making them join some terrorist group in frustration. Shit's deep yo, this actually makes me reconsider some jingoistic/xenophobic beliefs I had towards some people from the Middle East. [quote] But no, it CAN'T do that. It DOESN'T show your peak...I just said, you can improve your scores...[/quote] You can but only temporarily; the IQ of children in MENA was improved in some recent tests but only by preparing them specifically for the test and asking near identical questions. [quote]Studies have found significant increase in IQ from one generation to the other. It increases 21 points on an average in 30 years. Such an increase can result only from the surrounding environment. Hence, it is proved that IQ does change based on the environment. [/quote] That's to do with selection and the next generation being more intelligent, not to mention as said earlier that Africans in France have reduced the IQ by more than 4 points over the same time span. [quote]You're trying to tell me, that race mixing hasn't been a thing? I'm sorry to jump in the accusatory statements, but I think you're flat out being intellectually dishonest here...[/quote] No, I'm saying that this isn't anything new and has been going on for the last 1500+ years but might I note that the Israelites were told not to mix their seed, and surprise surprise they got the highest IQ of all groups. [quote]You may not see America being diverse, being a good thing. But I certainly do. I love the melting pot concept. And I wouldn't live anywhere else.[/quote] Yes, but see you won't stay a melting pot, you'll turn into a homogenous society in about 100 years. Brazil used to be a melting pot, now it's all of the same thing with only a few holdouts of unique cultural communities that still keep their culture and ethnicity in tact. [quote]European debt crisis: It's not just Greece that's drowning in debt[/quote] Nothing new, but I do think blaming merkel is a great idea; Poland is ethnically homogenous and would you look at that, no terrorism! [quote]Yes, Violent Crime Has Spiked In Sweden Since Open Immigration[/quote] stop being so intolerant, this is part and parcel of living in a big city [quote]Europe is failing, and Merkel can’t save it[/quote] It does say "opinion" in the title but I do think it's right. That said, new coalitions of sane countries are forming, i.e. Austria and Balkan friends. Good lads in Macedonia are even tear-gassing and and blasting rubber at the invaders, whilst Serbia is slowly deciding to not join the EU, and is forcefully removing kebab http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/serbia-refugee-camp-insecticide-video-forceful-eviction-spray-a7732761.html So in short, EU is failing, not Europe. The states that lived under communism now see the retardation inherent in the left, though Western Europe is going to have to learn with it's blood.
