CHALLENGE TO THE AMERICAN VOTER[views:6588][posts:26]____________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 1:15am - infoterror ""] Our political system is based on liberal democracy, multiculturalism, and personal materialism (individualism). Now, looking over the past 5000 or so years of history, please name: (1) A democracy that did not go into decline following its adoption of democracy, and end up a third-world dictatorship. (2) A multiculture that did not result in a hybrid ethnicity with less aptitute for cultural and intellectual pursuits than its ingredient ethnicities. (3) A culture based on individualism that did not rapidly lose sight of reality and collapse. I'd love to hear your answers (but I know you cannot answer this one). Rome fell, and the USA is falling, because we have nothing we agree on and are dedicated to selfishness and illusion. You either figure this out and counteract it, or lie back passively and try to enjoy the collapse. http://forums.chron.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?n...es&tsn=1&tid=339&webtag=hc-politics SUMMARY: 1. FUCK DEMOCRACY 2. FUCK GREED 3. ANYONE WITH IQ < 120 SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE FACE |

IQ Description % of Population 130+ Very superior 2.2% 120-129 Superior 6.7% 110-119 High average 16.1% 90-109 Average 50% 80-89 Low average 16.1% 70-79 Borderline 6.7% Below 70 Extremely low 2.2% |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 11:40am - the_reverend ""] 100 is average so this should be the "mid point" and if you look at a bellcurve of it, I'm sure using pisscup's data, you can find the 98% points on your own. though I did a search for the bell curve to find an image and I found this: [img] which shows it much differently |

| _____________________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 11:57am - Man_of_the_Century ""] paganmegan said:several of the countries listed would be considered third world I checked the list to this: http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/third_world.htm According to that, they're not third-world. I also just found this... "The term Third World was originally coined in times of the Cold War to distinguish those nations that are neither aligned with the West (NATO) nor with the East, the Communist bloc. Today the term is often used to describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. Many poorer nations adopted the term to describe themselves." So, maybe "third-world" isn't the best term for this... |

Kinda funny that people didn't read this right. Guess you'd get killed. but I don't really have answers for your first three questions. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 12:19pm - brian_dc ""] yeah, I'm fairly confident I'm in the 120 range now...but really what would be the good of killing off everyone else. Other than food for years and years with proper refrigeration. We'd just procreate and eventually different classes would arise and we'd be in the same mess we're in now. Well, maybe a little bit different of a mess, but still not worth the mass genocide. But again...the supply of food...hmm. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 12:28pm - pam nli ""] ...I would be sad to see my only source of ridicule be killed off. What would I talk about if not how stupid people are? I changed my mind. |
| _______________________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 12:58pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Forget democracy, what form of any government has lasted since the dawn of human history without going into decline? The answer is none, therefore all humans must die. HAIL XENU! ARM THE THERMONUCLEAR VOLCANO! |
| _______________________________ [Apr 17,2006 2:44pm - eddie ""] IQ isn't intelligence, it's just how fast you process information. you could have a 140 and still be a complete idiot. this is retarded i'd love to see a 120 IQ be a farmer for his whole life and not kill himself. i guess you could keep some of the dumber people for slaves, But then the people will take the smart people over, because the smart people aren't smart enough to realize what they're doing. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 17,2006 3:28pm - Yeti ""] bingo. a high IQ doesnt include common sense either. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 17,2006 3:39pm - eddie ""] a high IQ doesn't even mean you know how to read |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 17,2006 4:58pm - infoterror ""] brian_dc said:I was a 118 going into high school. Wonder if that's changed at all. Yes -- it's generally a relative measurement against predicted intelligence at age 18, so the closer you get to that age the more accurate the test is. It's a generalized measurement and not to be used as absolute law, but the divide between under-120s and over-120s is pretty goddamn obvious. Also note that the smarter you are, often the longer it takes your brain to mature... There are plenty of high-IQ idiots but we can kill them off later. Earth with 200 million people would be sweet. |
