Trust me I've got one in the classroom and on the streets.

Did Matt Gaetz finally resign? Or is he from Liberia?

In America, if you can get a few questions correct about the Kardashians and Britney Spears, and J Lo, you already score a higher IQ that most of Africa. That's our culture IQ.


If there were more questions about Michael Jordan, they would have scored a lot higher.

One can take some sections of an IQ test without knowing how to read. Of course, the directions would have to be told to them. That's prob how they measure infant IQ. For example, one area of the IQ is spatial reasoning, which is kind of like solving abstract puzzles and visualizing 3 dimensional objects in your mind.

Regardless, the IQ test has been deemed racist.

"Trust" you?????



Now that's a funny one. Not saying you’re lying, but I am saying you’re not the only one.

Anyone who thinks a degree makes them smart is not so smart. Intelligence is something one innately has. You don't receive it from an institution.

Never said that it "makes" one smart. But attending an institution and paying attention will teach you things. You will learn things about issues, people, countries, science, etc. etc. which you did not know before. Anyone who tries to downplay getting an education is obviously not smart at all, and 9 times out of ten are people who don't have the will, discipline, or intellect to complete a 4 year degree.

There is some crime in more populated towns (populations in the thousands), but I don't think it's comparable to Chicago. It's like someone stealing a four wheeler or trying to rob the local gas station. They have more of a prescription drug and meth problem than gang violence.

I definitely like Chicago more than those shit hole rural towns, but I would stay away from the southside.

Um, I wasn't referring to the crime rate. I was talking about iliteracy and unemployment. I do believe the southeast still ranks high among those two categories. As soon as I graduated from Tennessee-Martin I ran back to Texas as fast as I could.

The fact that Gaetz has not resigned (yet) makes him worse than Cuomo.

I never said I was the only one. But you tried to insinuate I wasn't educated at all. It's pretty sad that you came here from another country and you want to bad mouth this country and it's citizens. That doesn't sound like a very smart person to me.

Do you have a source for that stat LOL?

That statement is your opinion. Four year degrees aren't really shit, in my opinion, and plenty of people realize that soon after graduating. That doesn't make them necessarily stupid, but naive and complacent, which is what I was.

I've mentioned before that my degree helped me to get a descent job, but I don't use anything I studied at university, and I likely never will. So, it seems like it was largely a waste of time, despite helping me to get an okay job after.

I never "insinuated" any such thing. Now I know that there are a lot of fellow Texans here that wish Texas was it's own country again but last I checked Texas joined the Union in 1845 and has remained a partof the union. I was born in 79' so I'm pretty sure that makes American. At least American enough to have a social security number an an American passport.

And likewise. Your statement is nothing more than an opinion as well. See how that works?

Only on Paper. Mind and Spirit that's questionable.
