IQ rates- Yes World, American voters are really dumb.

Great website that I just found. I am just beginning to delve through this website. I live in Mississippi and just do not fit in here. I dont think like they do generally. After reading this I am proud I dont fit in. There are a few that I can enjoy conversing with but not that many. Some of this info is too far out there for many but still has some very interesting subjects that are more believable.

6. The IQ thing being bogus, Have you went over ...

the rest of the site for more bogus info?
I know some of the info on this site cant really be proven or disproven and it more or less how the author believes.
I am interested in your perspective on this website and the info in it. I have only been looking at it for 10 minutes so I have not seen most of it yet.

I feel that we are dumber than we used to.
We have not seen any more Einsteins or Nikola Tesla people being born.

5. Interesting sites.

<snip from 1st site>

"Essays and books have been written in recent years concerning what many educators and intellectuals believe has been a deliberate �dumbing down of America,�

<end>
I believe a nationwide TV addiction could be the possible vehicle for such a deliberate plan. As a child and a youth, we valued and honored intelligence. Sometime in the 80's, dumb became cool.
What happened?

I don't want the dumb guy flying my plane!
I don't want the dumb guy performing surgery on me!
I don't want the dumb guy running my country!

Why would sooo many people vote for DUMB?
