all these arguments, and hell even these videos prove one thing and one thing only. The IQ system itself is flawed. What its SUPPOSED to do is show how intelligent you are, what it ends up showing is how good your education system is. compare those lists of highest IQ countrys to best school systems by country, very little to no change. Hell someone of completely average intellect can test out as genius on multiple tests if they STUDY for it. not exactly a a definitive test for ability to learn.


Anyway that being said dear god someone give these people a book. preferably something they can comprehend and understand. So something in the vein of "see spot run".
The internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

Ahh, EvilZone.  Where networking certification meets avian fecal matter & all is explained, for better or worse.

After reading these two news links, I'm convinced that some Americans suffer from a chronic mental illness called "lack of education".

There live 380% more people in India than in the USA.
They probably have more idiots as well. You realize that you need to do an average on things like this right?
If India has higher population, that doesn't mean India has more idiots.
Just think before you post. >:( >:(
You should think about what you are saying.


As for the topic, stupid people don't live in  any specific country, they are everywhere.

I'm not saying people from India are stupid, but in this case if you're going to compare you can't compare in numbers you need to compare in % or average.
If the US has 50% idiots and India has 30% idiots India will still have more idiots in people.
The same with IQ, you can't count how many people in two countries have high IQ if the countries have different amount of population; You need to count average
