    Are you a white nationalist or a supremacist? Because this thread comes off as supremacist and that's not cool bro.

    It's fine if you're a white nationalist because that particular movement has peaceful intentions but supremacy is bad and is inherently evil dude. You need to lighten up a bit.

    I posted an article from Yahoo.Finance about the 16 smartest people on Earth and asked people to draw their own conclusions......I just post facts and news.....what you do with those facts and news is a 'you' problem....not a 'me' problem.....just sayin'.

    And just how does (*)(*)(*)(*) work?.......I do think that our immigraton policies should be based upon bringing in the best and brightest, as opposed to the current policy of bringing in the sick and the dumb. This article tells you where the best and brightest would come from.

    I'm just shocked Obama is not on that list. We've all been indoctrinated to think he's so brilliant.

    IQ's are an interesting gauge, but most of it really depends a lot on the environment that person grows up in, good genes, developmental years (no bouts of malnutrition, relatively free from infections and/or sickness) and the availability/opportunity to learn the criteria. As the article said the more a person takes it the better they will perform. Took it twice the first time in the high 120's the second time 132.

    Tests are also relative and discriminating as well. I doubt these top 16 people would do very well in a survival test if they were dropped into the Amazon, or the Congo, having to depend on their ability to get a high score on an IQ test. In fact the village idiot in areas such as this would probably do much better, since they do so on a daily basis. Most of these smart people are "smart" because they are knowledgeable on the material, have deductive reasoning skills (learn easily), and have long term retention abilities.

    JMHO.

    That would really be a huge insult if I really thought I was among the top 16 smartest people in the world.

    Honestly though, a list dominated by whites and Asians. What a surprise.

    Wasn't meant as an insult, Brewskie, don't be so thin skinned, just a reminder if you eat your green beans, study real hard, work your way out of the slump you may find yourself in, you might make the list next time. Anything is possible right? ;-)

    I'm doing just fine. Thanks for your concern, though! I guess there are some good liberals after all. :)
