How ironic

LOL Rags getting savaged. It's a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the condescension. Glass houses & all that
FYI, I don't bother engaging in most discussions - psychological research shows only a fairly small percentage of the population are open to rationality. You can tell (typically within one post) whether someone is open to interactive discussion.
Its what academia & science is founded on - exposing one's ideas to being (often brutally) dismantled, to reach truth or the best outcome.

I am sympathetic to the idea of not engaging in discussion with a lot of the posters in this thread, there is a growing list that I'll refuse to bother with. Particularly because they're incapable of supporting their "arguments" with fact and often resort to juvenile retorts.

However when you initiate the topic you should be prepared to engage in some discourse. You don't do that and resort to faux-intellectual arguments around right wingers. Essentially my friend, you are no better than them and I believe my condescension towards you is merited.

I'm also sympathetic to the resentment that many feel towards that you seem to have very little interest in football. The odd post in AF that's even more rarely about matches or its players does suggest you're nothing more than a troll trying to get a reaction.

This IQ thing posted to show that an aborigine is inherently less intelligent than a white caucasian is an absolute disgrace and a deliberate obfuscation of the facts.

If you must post such garbage then at least have the balls to post up inks, sources and references rather than smugly sit there thinking your shit doesn't stink.

If shown a picture of a rabbit and asked to describe what they see an 13 year old city child is likely to tell you that it's a mammal, an introduced species and a pest in Australia.

An aboriginal is likely to tell you it's food.

Neither answer is a demonstration of one's superior intelligence over another. (Let's drop you in the Tanami desert and see how long you last smart arse.)

Pathetic. I feel like I need to have a shower now having engaged in this conversation.

That isnt what an IQ test actually tests though.

I think they were implying that there are different measures and concepts of intelligence. Some of the smartest people I knew at school had limited common sense / practical intelligence.

The OP of the IQ garbage is posting this rubbish up as proof that white caucasians are inherently more intelligent than aboriginals.

There is absolutely no doubt that that is what he is driving at.

Amazonian Indians, amongst many other native cultures, can count to 3 or 5 and after that their languages do not even have words for 6, 7, 8 etc.

When shown a handful off beads and asked for an approximation of beads there are they'll say 'many'.

No matter what you say it is not proof of low intelligence.


Edit. Deleted 'their'.

This thread is frankly pathetic and some of the openly racist stuff being discussed in here is disgraceful.

I cant be bothered reading it all except to say that this thread is locked and anyone posting racists comment, whether they claim to be facts or not is not on.

You risk a very lengthy ban if it continues.
