Something to think about ^_- Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15343696 you make it up as you go along, don't you. Most high IQ people gravitate to well paying positions which happen to be there. What might be of interest is where these people are from. What also may be of interest is what they personally think, not the mob around them. Logic isn't your strong suite, is it? Government is a body largely ungoverned. |

Liberals are not only lacking in intelligence, they're also immature and delusional. |

A person could be an MIT science wiz, and a liberal....yet remain a total ignoramus in the important realms of street smarts and philosophical wisdom... Some liberals have high IQ's....yet they have trouble tieing their shoes or making basic judgements. |

Most intelligent people are compassionate. Its just that the older one gets, the more they understand how the world works and realize how even the best intended efforts are so easily hi jacked so that the most sane thing to do is to promote individual independence and empowerment whenever possible. |

You can also say that as a person grows older they are more resistant to change because they look to the past with rose-colored glasses and see it as being a better world than in the present and given the brain stops being able to learn as it used to (try teaching computer programming to a 65 year old) they don't exercise their brain as they used to, resulting in its deterioration. These are sweeping generalizations of course but as a whole I see them as being true. Furthermore, one can be intelligent and wise; they are not mutually exclusive as some here have proclaimed. |

Two of the most conservative States in the Union are numbers 1 and 2 economically. Down here, we have the lowest unemployment rate in the Nation and a much lower cost of living than that of you high IQ geniuses. You keep your high IQ blue-bloods. I'll take a slower-paced life of comfort and security. And I'm the dumb one... |

Black people are also called "conservative" according to these polls because they don't believe in gay marriage and shit. Just thought I'd show you how liberals lie. That is a common fallacy. The correct response is poverty is correlated with low IQ. Appalacia has a tremendous amount of poor white people that have a term for them called 'white trash' and I would suggest that rather than your racial comment be indicative of reality, the truth is that poverty correlates with low intelligence (more often than not). From Wikipedia: The term white trash first came into common use in the 1830s as a pejorative used by house slaves against poor whites. In 1833 Fanny Kemble, an English actress visiting Georgia, noted in her journal: "The slaves themselves entertain the very highest contempt for white servants, whom they designate as 'poor white trash'" Shows like Honey Boo-Boo have shown, perhaps even moreso than Jerry Springer, just how degenerate the poverty-stricken whites of Appalacia have become as a result of poor education and environmental pollutants (especially in the 'food' they consume). |

Not surprising at all. Ayatollah Khomeini: “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] verses and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” |

Something to think about ^_- Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15343696 IQ tests are biased against groups that are not 100% English speaking from birth. No need to explain or prove it here; it's a fact whether you care to acknowledge it or not. In states with high percentages of Spanish speaking immigrants, the average person does better on tests of Spanish-English bilingualism. The Northeast cannot be expected to match that. Spanish-English bilingualism is one of the most important social skills, and one that isn't teachable in conventional primary and secondary schools, because it is too hard, and/or takes too much time to perfect. By the way, "mensa" in colloquial Spanish means "a stupid person." |
