This should be a law

[gfm7175]

Democratic elections is not a democracy. Those elections are held according to the constitution of that level of government.

'Being a democracy' due to 'democratic elections' is the biggest misunderstanding I run into regarding the discussion behind the type of government that the USA has... People seem to think that 'democratic elections' equals 'Democracy'...

 

[StoneByStone]

Would it look something like this?? What is the cut-off??

Damn, that map is depressing. 100 is average, so apparently a lot of Americans are below average.
I'd say if you have an IQ of less than 100, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

 

[Truth Detector]

The redistribution is correct, blue states due finance red states, but what the left, those blue states, complain about is that those exact same red states who are the takers are the same ones bitching about redistribution of income, progressive tax policies, and reliance upon the Federal Gov't and others to get by

Drunk again. Poor dumb asshole.

 

[Flash]

But it's not just the Southern states.

True, but the northern red states are not usually poor.

 

[Bill]

That seems like something a leftist would post except in reverse. I'll go with the Constitution and the 14th & 15th amendments.

tefawn is a russian bot.. I guess you figured that out already..

Will the "better ppl" come fourth to represent those living in those shithole states that they & they forefathers created??

They can't vote, those were 4th. grade testing scores

There is an interesting phenomena among leftists that I think should be addressed

Step 1: They vote for policies and politicians that make leftist States unlivable

Step 2: Once it becomes unbearable, they leave for conservative states with low taxes and low regulation to escape the bullshit they voted for

Step 3: They begin to vote for the same policies that led them to leave their left wing totalitarian State

With that in mind, red states should pass laws that prohibit people moving from Blue states from voting in state and local elections for a period of 10 years after they move. They will be able to vote in national elections for President, Senate and House. But nothing local.

We have to stop these diseased leftists from spreading their poisonous ideology

Making it up as you go!

"IQ" is a meaningless number, created out of the way a test is given.

Do you know how to raise chickens profitably? Do you know how to repair a locomotive? Do you know how to manufacture reliable computer memory? Do you know how to hunt bobcats? Do you know how to fly a fighter jet? Do you know how to be a rigger? Do you know how to build a nuclear power plant?

They do in Idaho. They even built the first nuclear power plant in the United States. They have the largest locomotive repair and maintenance facility in the world. Yet, according to your map, they are 'morons'. No, dude. IQ has no meaning.

Nice to see somebody else calling out IQ as a meaningless number as well as getting into how people are individuals, that they have different interests and abilities... Bravo!

Intelligence can't be narrowed down to results from one of many different available "IQ tests" (as that's only telling you how good a person did at a particular test at a particular time)... That's kinda like thinking that people who get higher grades in school must be more intelligent than people who get lower grades in school... Intelligence can present itself in a plethora of ways (many of which are not a part of IQ testing)

Idaho?

Nothing against Idahoans, but Idaho ain't exactly what comes to mind when people think of the United States

You people got to face reality, if it weren't for the Blue States on both coasts, and a few inland, the US would resemble Albania, we would all die of mediocrity

And those are not IQ tests but standardized achievement tests.

Hardly. The quality of a society almost always reflects the IQ average of its population. And even the exceptions to this rule are usually because of things like having an oppressive government, such is the case in China and North Korea.

IQ doesn't measure how much you know. It measures, among other things, your ability to learn things. A person who speaks one language may be smarter, and better at learning languages, than a person who grew up speaking three languages.

They do in Idaho. They even built the first nuclear power plant in the United States. They have the largest locomotive repair and maintenance facility in the world. Yet, according to your map, they are 'morons'. No, dude. IQ has no meaning.

I'm sure there are very intelligent high IQ people in Idaho. That map only measures the state average.

 

[Into the Night]

Idaho?

That is what I said. I D A H O.

That is against Idahoans. Idaho is part of the United States, in case you haven't noticed. It honors its constitution and the Constitution of the United States, too.

You people got to face reality,

Idaho is a State. That is reality. Sorry to burst your bubble.

if it weren't for the Blue States on both coasts,

California is no longer a State. It no longer honors the Constitution of the United States, or even its own constitution. States of the United States guarantee a constitutional government. California has become an oligarchy.

Idaho could care less about California, Oregon, or even Washington.

Since you consider flying fighter jets mediocrity, hunting mediocrity, building the first nuclear power plant mediocrity, rebuilding locomotives mediocrity, I can only imagine what YOU find exciting.

and a few inland, the US would resemble Albania,

The population of the United States is considerably more than Albania. The land is richer too, even if you remove the 'blue' States from the population figure.

we would all die of mediocrity

You have no idea what 'mediocrity' is.

They are IQ tests. They are used to generate a useless random number called an 'IQ".

The term 'IQ' is meaningless. I've already explained why. Argument of the stone.

The ACT and SAT are not IQ tests. They are college admissions exams. Real IQ tests usually involve more than just paper/pencil/computer tests.

They are both.

 

[Flash]

They are both.

Elements of both. But they only have a .50 correlation with IQ tests. That means they only account for about 25% of the variance.

 

[LV426]

And, the left wants policies that redistribute income but complain when richer states redistribute money to poorer states.

We don't complain about that.

Pointing out that most Conservative states are welfare states doesn't mean we're complaining that they're welfare states.

Why do you think it is?
