lol, we've got another one of these ultralow iq folks caught in this thread. It seems a useful honeypot here attracting the unhappy and mentally challenged.
pointing out that it doesn't make sense to use a city built by europeans as an example of african success and an american city run by blacks as an example of western failure means i must have a low iq?
Yes it does.
1) You suggesting that city was built by migrant labor from Europe.
2) What do you mean by "black" ? Seriously. Enlighten us as to the scientific definition you propose. Richard Pryor said he saw no black people in Africa, he saw Africans.
If you think IQ tests have any validity you are already an idiot. If you think they have some meaning in regards to other generalized terms such as "black" or "white" or "tan".. it becomes clear you have the intelligence of mealworms.
Oops! I need to apologize and restate.
Years ago there were several times that I took IQ tests. The tests were subdivide into sections, sections for each of several different disciplines. I tested out rather high on math and language. There were other areas that I tested rather low on... even under 100 on a couple.
People who design the IQ tests generally can't design the tests to accurately measure IQs over 200. The reason is that there are too many variables involved with people who have that high of an IQ. An additional reason is that those who devise the tests often aren't of a high enough IQ themselves so that they can accurately devise tests for high IQ people.
The reason that I am writing this post is that I may have been unfair to hashman. It is obvious from hashman's usage of the language that he is of a reasonably high IQ with regard to using it. (Please forgive my usage of "he" with regard to hashman. I have no idea of "his" gender, but am simply using the masculine form for brevity.)
At the same time, it is obvious that hashman is of a rather low IQ in areas of judging people's intelligence based on results of IQ tests. In addition, it seems that his IQ regarding general respect of people that most of us try to maintain with others, is rather low. There is nothing wrong with this. It simply is what it is.
Because of the above, I apologize for any seemingly critically adverse language I might have used with hashman. He is simply acting within his IQ range... higher in some areas, and lower in other areas.
