How Long Before Poland Has Its 'Dumbest Generation'?

So it is a biological quality.It has social consequences.Tell me the IQ of a 15 year old and I can predict his success in standardized tests he will take 3 years later.

what IQ tests are measuring is not biological quality, it is persons achievement in tests compared to his peers in area test is standardized for, that's partially caused also hopefully by biological intelligence we still don't know where at all is, and what it is, also what is it depending on (genes, which ones?, nurture, early development).

they are hoping that is in the background, causing all those differences.
but it's never just that hypothetical biological in the background, environmental factors are not questionable in psychometric intelligence or IQ.

Yes, of course you can predict it. Everybody can, it's since childhood quite unchangeable.
What was your point here?

If you want to enter the US army you have to have an IQ lower than 110 and higher than 90.All these black and white populations in the army belong in the same range regarding the IQ.I am surprised how you don't know that.This is a biased argument.

If we use your argument, that there is something wrong with black genes we can also assume that IQ of black soldiers was improved through education, so basically black people who are in US army are scoring 100, but thanks to good environment, while white people with better genome were lazy at school and because of that were equal with black ones.

So, next generation of german-american black and white kids had to show some inherent differences, stemming directly from genes ;)

Irrelevant.You don't know the IQ of the parents.You don't know if black or white IQ genes are dominant and will express themselves more in combination.

It looks like a quite simplistic idea about the way intelligence is passing from generation to generation, it's surely not like color of eyes, probably polygenic not only one is responsible.

Why would white or black be dominant? What is the connection between color of their skin and genes for biological I, so you think that those two things are related at all?

is there a proof for that statement, i don't know for it?

Again you don't know which genes are dominant.If black genes are dominant then no matter how many white mix one has,his IQ will be low(black).You have to know the pattern.

Again why would genes for black or white skin have to be related to genes for intelligence.
What genes, what is their connection with genes for assumed Biological Intelligence.

IQ is not just biological quality. We all here know that very well.

I've never ridden a bus alone; but I don't think that necessarily makes me a nincompoop. Not really something you want to do, some dangerous low class people use public transportation. But that's in America, I'm sure public transportation is far more normal over there.

US has no idea what a good public transport is since the car industry had to sell millions of it and they keep doing it, so they had to paint the public transport with a negative brush. Also, the distances in the US usually require a car anyways.

Britain's 'Dumbest Generation'?

youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=G05saPA31j4

You know it's reassuring that in this morally bankrupt age of sweary, shock TV, there are still corners of the schedule where you can find wide-eyed sweetness and wholesome charm and music and dancing and infuriating little piiiss-weasels.

You don't need text when everything is in the video

"There is an onslaught of stuff being sold to us from the second they come out of the womb

Parents control what is bought, unless they are no longer in control and the child
runs the home, which I doubt because then he wouldnt be stupid, he would be
pretty smart to be able to manipulate his parents.

What the f*ck?? Yeah, this is exactly what I meant with the new generation of sissy-boys and I-sluts. He's a real man? Bwhahahahaha! (Let's hear that again from you girls the moment he drops his pants, shall we?) Oh man, it really seems they're trying to infect the entire world's population with the Justin Bieber disease! (I mean, with programmes like this, who needs conspiracy theories?)

Exactly.

TV does play a big part in the dumbing down of society - and Polish TV is pretty dreadful. In many ways TV is the new opiate of the masses. At least I don't own one.

At least I don't own one.

I do, but I only watch the news, and sometimes even some comedians who still have something thought-provoking to say, check teletext, and even then I question everything I hear, see and read. Sometimes there are actually half-decent series to follow, or interesting documentaries to watch, but I usually only turn on the TV to watch a DVD, if I want to see a movie at all, that is.

I'm not upset, just ridiculing the very same people who like ridiculing today's working-class people through the media. (I see it, but do you??)

Some of the latest trendy things to say? Well, here it comes!

''Rich people have more, longer and better sex and more orgasms than people who belong to the lower classes.''

Oh really? Well, I'm sure money attracts more partners, but I'm also pretty damn sure there have to be atleast a few rich guys who can't see junior unless they're holding their breath, and it's very likely that some of their wives don't really feel junior has much to offer! I'm not sure if people have noticed, but physical attributes aswell as strength and stamina play a huge role in the whole sex thing.

Or how about: ''Women feel much better with a rich partner?''

Even when the guy is a total abusive *sshole? (Hey, poor people can be abusive *ssholes too by the way!)

what is important is what you do with your life.

I understand that completely, and eventhough I know where I'm going, or atleast where I'm trying to get, that's not the entire truth either, is it? I mean, I'm not alone on this planet, and unfortunately for me there are some greedy people who are trying to make damn sure people like us won't get too far!

I'm sure you've noticed that today everything revolves around money, and they're obviously taking most of that money away from the people who actually have to work for it while they're giving themselves a pat on the back, which usually translates into a couple of million Dollars they really didn't deserve. So yeah, I like making fun of people who bend over and perform blowjobs to get rich, especially when they belong to the same media-circus which likes to ridicule and make fun of working class people.

;P

What distances...? the distances between the Empire State Building and the Grand Canyon? The White House and the moon? The suburbs and the Hypermarkets? or the cradle to the grave...?

How much distance does one need to travel in the States...?

And surely by your rationale, the greater the distance the more someone would need a faster mode of transport, such as the train or plane...? Or does this put to death the notion of the "Great American Road Trip?"

USA has no serious public transport because public transport does not increase demand for services like car transport does.For example you cannot get out of the bus,buy sth and then return to the bus.You also feel like a herd in the bus while in the car you celebrate the individualistic freedom.

Merged:

Poland with an average IQ of 99 makes the demeaning "dumb Polack" a gross misnomer



With an average IQ of 99, Poland is tied with Spain and ahead of (in descending order) Australia, Denmark, France, Norway, United States, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Slovakia, Israel, Romania, Ireland and Greece.

true..but vast bulk of polish immigrants are from countryside areas.and they are not best educated bunch.
Poland use to be agriculture heavy economy,thus vast majority of USA polish immigrants were villagers.at least in the past.even today in the UK there are so many wiesniakow.and they have their own way of life.kinda drinking in the open.

weeing by the someone fence ect. quite a clash with english culture.

I rarely hear "dumb Polak" jokes these days. It was VERY prevalent in the 90's and has steadily decrease

wiesniakow

What is better? A wieśniak or a wykształciuch? The latter populate the Platfus party and remaining look-down-your-nose opposition.

Dumb pollock" jokes

Why are Polack jokes so short? - So the idiots that tell them can remember them!

What is black, blue, bloody and crawls on all fours?
Someone who tries to tell a Polack joke in a Polish neighbourhood.
