  5. Machismo is a waste of time, no one cares. Think about it for a second now why do you suppose that liberals make up the vast majority of the intellectual community? Scientists, college professors, writers, philosophers, etc? It's because they are smarter than you and to a much lesser degree, me. Same reason they are mostly non-religious. They don't waste the one and only existence they will ever have on stupid, supernatural beliefs like the right wing loves to base itself around.

    But it is unfortunate that intelligent, liberal minds may not make up the majority, not everyone possesses those gifts.

    My apology to anyone who recognizes that I've posted about the same thing over the years on IQ.

    IQ is seriously misused and overrated. It just doesn't mean all that people think.

    The highest numerical IQ that I'm exposed to is... my mom. She got a PhD in chemical engineering but never worked a day in her life. She has difficulty driving if she can find her car. She has attempted to enter the wrong vehicle quite a few times and wants to argue about it. She clocked in at 175+ but that was in the early 60s.

    I love her but she cannot cook, like at all. She doesn't remember people's names. I've watched her struggle my whole life.

    My dad is much lower, in the mid 130s. I fall almost exactly half-way between my mom and my dad. I have my own struggles and, thank you, I don't want a single additional point of IQ. Fuck that. My dad is happy and stable. My mom is a freaking mess.

  7. No one said IQ test results were the end all, be all. If you can't apply it to the real world in some fashion it's really of little value, like Donnie's cognitive test.

    Fucking hell you leftists have a problem understanding and interpreting basic statistics.

    Stats are important. As is IQ. They aren’t the be all and end all...but they make a lot of interesting suggestions.

    If black males commit, who are 6.5% of the population, commit 52% of the murders...
    What
    Does
    That
    Tell
    You?
    That Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell can’t exist?

    If 90% of the NBA is black, does that mean there can be no Larry Bird?

    Jesus Christ. You guys are dim. And thick. In the wrong places.

  10. Non sequitur and a couple of dumb analogies to boot. But assuming what you stated is true the difference is that you as a conservative accept the status quo as if there can be nothing done about it, that's their problem. Whereas the liberal is committed to righting the injustices that created this situation to begin with and so that all people regardless of their race, gender, etc. will have a more equal place in society. That's what you fail to understand.

    Plus you seem a little angry and unhinged, you should really work on that
