I don’t know if you were around then.
DebraD used to post her arse 24/7 and she was pretty mild.
I’ll have to remember some more about that forum. It was genuinely hilarious.
But there was one mega skank, it wasn’t MrsCB cos this was a good few years ago. Maybe it was your mother, shout up from her basement and ask her.
And this is how I know you are socially inept. A more secure person with social skills would have just laughed at the joke but you got rather defensive. It struck you deeper than it should have. When you grow up around other males you understand the concept of ball busting.
I don’t agree with your Somalian example.
Outside of outright malnutrition, almost nothing has impacted on group IQ.
Stuff like twin studies are the best example of this. Also studies done on blacks put in far more functioning family environments etc.
It was a joke you pussy. Mother issues?
Start a thread on being a man.
Then start another on speaking to women.
I’ll sort you out.
When the Somalians were building a civilization, what were the English doing?
Somalians building a civilisation. Lol best joke you’ve made all day.
Well, I don’t have the power to force IQ tests on my neighbors, but this seems almost self-evident to me based on my interactions and observations. I don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine that a child’s mind might develop differently if the priorities were shifted from basic survival during development to things like academics, sports and social pursuits.
Especially when malnutrition is no longer a concern.
Do you disagree?
See what I mean?
It took the French to civilize you lot.
I do disagree.
Outside of very severe factors, I do not believe academics, sports and social pursuits will have a significant impact on increasing intelligence. I believe their impact is negligible.
Prenatal care?
Again, only in certain circumstances.
My sister was born severely premature and is currently at the best university in the world.
Are you smarter than Didier Drogba?
How do you think people managed to become as smart and accomplished as we have?
Would you expect a child who narrowly avoided starvation, wasn’t taught to read until he was 18 and whose idea of social etiquette was doing what the warlord says so he won’t chop off your arm to be able to learn calculus as easily as a child who was raised in a normal family in Portland, Maine?
Assuming, of course, the requisite material has been taught.
This ain’t right.
Top 2% of people in your town?
The answer is death.
It depends how you look at it.
Personally, I wouldn’t say ‘disease’ was the biggest killer, just my opinion.
This is a very strange opinion.
It’s death you imbecile. Lemmy said so!
You are equating intelligence with education, which are not the same.
