Random Politics & Religion #28: The Last One

No one is burning flags so who *** cares?

First you would have to define intelligence.

We Ashkenazi Jews are top scorers on IQ tests, averaging 124 on the Wechsler-Bellevue. The Japanese come in second at 117. But what does it mean? The only thing it predicts is how well you are going to do on your next IQ test.

Last I heard science had defined over 30 different types of intelligence. No idea how many, if any, are tested for in IQ tests.

What's remarkable is how you aren't noticing how wrong you are.

What's remarkable is how you aren't noticing how wrong you are.

It's a wasted effort on you.

I'll just say you are wrong but never say why you are wrong. There's no point in telling you why you are wrong because even I don't know why you are wrong. But you are just wrong because I don't agree with you, even though I don't know why I don't agree with you, I just plainly don't agree.

Also, you smell like moose farts.

Are you ok with people burning gay pride flags while shouting anti-gay rhetoric and calling for the deaths of gay people?

What the fuuuuuck does this have to do with anything right now?

I don't like obviously loaded, purposely vague questions especially when I can't see what point you're trying to make.

Well, you certainly don't care if the US flag is burned.

I wanted you to tell everyone if you cared if the gay pride flag is burned in the same fashion.

You know, to point out your hypocrisy. I haven't done that in a while because, well, you hardly post anymore.
