The one thing i always find funny is when...

Someone says ohhh they are ignorant or this amount of people are dumb! and yet that person alone, uses cue tips, does not realize fluoride is in their drinking water, and assumes just stupid things all the time.

Read this shit and tell me I'm stupid. Haha you people are...
5 bucks says I know 10 times more information, in nearly never subject known to man. Since I've taken over 13 years of college and read, researched predominately most of my entire life. Posers!

Oh and you don't think shit is need to purify the water? Live in a city? Put a bowl of water outside and watch how much shit grows in it within 2 weeks. Ignorant fool. Go live in a colony in South America and see how long you live. Rofl. Or go to the rockies and be a mountain man, most don't live to 80, much less 100.


from the growery http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/533727#533727

"Unfortunately all over the world a couple dick heads screw it up for everyone else. The Chinese, Iran, North Korea, couple assholes all over Africa screw it up also as well as the Middle East.

Even here in the USA we have assholes that run the KKK or other radical groups to disturb peace. Ironically the assholes in the USA only blow up or cause chaos in the USA, instead of other countries; go figure.

Countries like Pakistan militarize their youth, which is pretty fucking disgusting. The USA aids countries like India, whom we are allies in the region and provide some of our advanced military tools too. In countries like Egypt we train their soldiers to be seals and etc.

Whoever those white republicans are, they remind me of my grandmother. She was white from a rich town. Asian people started to come into the community and eventually the town was 50% white and asians. She always said, "the asians are taking over." In rich towns like that the women specifically never did anything with their lives while their husbands worked, so they are completely out of touch with reality and say the stupidest things.

To be honest I hate rich towns where women never work. The women are uptight bitches who are completely worthless and have no knowledge of politics for the most part. They babble about completely worthless garbage that makes a mockery of intelligent conversation. This is why I root for Socialism / Democracy which is what Democrats are doing now and say down with Republicans forever. Also Republicans treat poor people like they don't exist, when everyone should have the same opportunity for success, regardless of race, color or creed.

I'm white, came from one of the wealthiest cities in the entire United States of America, and feel this way. Next to the town I grew up in, Los Gatos California wealthy men have Ferrari's, Lamborghinis in enough numbers that you can see at least 1 on a daily basis in the downtown area if you are their for a couple hours. Ironically then men driving them often look completely lost. I often feel sorry for them.

In the new system of pure Democrats and Socialism, rich people still exist. It's just they actually have to be smart; lol! Let's just say, they have to be smarter. In socialism the upper middle class typically have it awesome, the way it used to be in the USA. With much better support for lower poverty individuals and extremely rich people still exist, but at least the top 10% of wealthy people don't have 90% of all the money in the country like it is now.

Not like I'm just dissing the video, but that woman hasn't lived in Oakland CA or San Francisco and seen the hundreds of homeless people sleep on the sidewalk in a row. That is unacceptable. Also it's unacceptable that their is a graph that shows Blacks and Mexican's as stupider then Whites and Asians. That is only because Whites and Asians have more money, go to better schools and colleges. This country is bullshit that because of financial distribution keeps racism and segregation alive.

But I don't know what this lady is complaining about 9/11 didn't even impact the nation besides a war. It was the Stock Market housing crash that almost recently destroyed not only the USA, but the entire Worlds financial system.
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Infuriating-Trailer-For-The-Wall-Street-Documentary-Inside-Job-20465.html

The movie documentary Inside Job, which I recently watched shows how messed up the USA really is. Or read books on Wall Street if you don't believe the movie, more then one says everyone in Wall Street knows about the bubbles; anyone with half a brain knows they are just doing it to make more money. The actions of Wall Street are just about as dangerous as the lack of spending in education.

The man from Nepal at the convenience store where I buy American Spirit Cigarettes has 2 children who are in their early 20's. Both are medical doctors. I'm pretty sure Nepal integrates college into their education system. Same with India and countless others.

With the high military spending in the USA, which I estimate by budget numbers to be at least 50% of the GDP I see as the primary issue. Reagan, the most popular president by the idiots of the USA, which ironically was the worst president who made the mistake of allowing Wall Street to run the Federal Reserve. Ever since then our nation debt has been out of control.

Overall I believe the problem in the USA is everyone is an idiot. Nobody knows the truth nor cares to easily research the information. The #1 problem with the USA is policing the World, when A. half the World wants to deal with their own shit B. If policing the World is required it should be a Global Effort; what about England, France, German, Russia, or everyone else in the UN?

If the White House owns the Federal Reserve, which is like letting a wolf in a folk of sheep if you require an analogy, then it's safe to say that major US military companies like Lockheed Martin and Northman Gruman have their hand in the White House as well. Ever notice the US military budget is about 100X what they give NASA? It's insane. And why do they spend so much money on military development.... when the USA is a good 40+ years more advanced then any other country in the World.

Need proof? China recently developed anti ICBM missiles, the USA had those 40 years ago. I can't argue the military gave us the Internet, GPS, but man Nasa made velcro, hydroponics and aeroponics amongst other things. I see the USA focusing on defense instead of offense and reducing the military footprint and activities of our country the only way to save the country.

Besides the USA is retarded. Everything now is a digital war. China and Israel are the perfect examples. Israel programmed a computer virus to disable Iran and China's nuclear missile and uranium refinement facilities. China hacks the USA as part of their government expenses. China kicked out Google because the US government was using Googles Proxy to hack China!



Everything is technology know. Why even pay a solider, when already robots are in space http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=robots+in+sapce&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=#q=robots+in+space&hl=en&sa=X&prmd=ivnsu&source=univ&tbs=nws:1&tbo=u&ei=rWpzTa-3HZH0swPwoIWTCw&ved=0CCoQqAI&bav=on.2,or.&fp=7e644e0018037e50

Only real problem with reducing the military is either China actually wants to start a war with us, or someone in the USA is making it up and creating the news. At least the nuclear submarine fleet would have to be active and support for it. Honestly it doesn't make any sense logically as the Chinese have most of the America products developed on their soil and hold most of the US national Debt. I read some bullshit news article that said China wants to be a "Super Power." Which is ironic because based on GDP they are almost equal to the USA. Even though Chinese treat people like dogs, and spend everything on technology; they actually pose a threat economically. If the Chinese are really that stupid, well it just doesn't make sense as we build so much and buy so much from China; logistically.

To my knowledge all the information is true. But honestly I question the White House, the US Military, Corporations who provide assets to the US Military, the Medical Field and much more. The medical field focuses on treatments rather then cures, as cures for AIDS are already developed but medical companies only care about a profit, which means keeping people alive with the disease for as long as possible. Just like Wall Street only cares about a profit, not the Worlds Financial System. Just like Lockheed Martin gives a jack shit about protecting the nation and only cares about a profit."

I consider people who are smart geniuses or at least 150  IQ. And it isn't that simple either. People like Isaac Newton, Albert Eistein to me were not ordinary people. Either God or another alien life form gave them the information. Proof? Watch this video about the math equations that Isaac Newton made a very long time ago that is perfectly accurate today.

I as well know for a fact that the neutrino is the future energy source for everything on earth and space craft. This will be proven, and this video sorta leads to why this will be true. It's ok to doubt me, but you can't doubt something not of this world supplied the information to Isaac Newton. Impossible without the help of something else. Impossible.

What are they measuring when they measure IQ?

My opinion is that common sense is much more important than'IQ'




intelligence. but, intelligence tests are biased in many ways, and intelligence comes in a vast array of forms. for example, athleticism imo is a form of intelligence. everyone to some extent possesses an exaggerated level of a certain type, or types, of intelligence.

Iq tests seem a bit like intellectual masturbation to me...the score may correlate to some extent with real intelligence but it doesn't seem to mean much beyond that...as you said, there are a lot of types of intelligence that are not even looked at in those tests.

Isn't intelligence our way of adapting and surviving in the environment? Maybe those tests should look at how well a person does IRL instead of comparing shapes...

You are a fascist, seriously your fucked-up world-view scares me...

Quote:

logical thinking & problem solving skills




what about creativity? emotional intelligence? social intelligence? Not much use in being able to think logically if a street-smart kid cons you out of your money and livelihood (I would consider that social/emotional intelligence before you ask)

I have a pretty big IQ score on those tests, still think they're rubbish. There is so much more to intelligence then problem solving and logical thinking that they can't be taken seriously, why aren't they used in job interviews for example? Because they're pretty useless.

this all may be true (and my fundamental beliefs are not that different) though ive come to my personal conclusion that more or less most of this type of talk/conversation is all just a type of amusment (fun or not). its like a brain exercise, as right as you may be  it all doesnt really necessarily matter. in the end the saved ones will be saved and the not... well you get the point. 'I dont see it as insight possible to be transfered from one person to another, you either got it or you dont (yet)'.and me adding to the conversation doesnt help my point... see you on the dark side of the moon.

If my word were too "big" for you, then I have been giving you far too much credit. As for the second part of that, what I've said has apparently stood up quite well, given your complete lack of refutation.

Yes, advocating that poor children of color around the globe should get a quality educational opportunity, to be able to realize their potential to help uplift their societies form poverty; the very definition of both fascism & elitism.

Your words are to big for small ideas and seeing yourself as better then most americans is elitism...I'll stretch the fascism part to fit you if you'd like.

Now what do we do? I propose we discuss ways of ending world hunger by bringing education to the stupid masses...want in on this?
