How to Raise Our I.Q.

[tekz999]

Yes, we are the pearl of the east. To raise your IQ, hang out with smart people. To lower your IQ, do the opposite.

I am afraid my State Senator, Virginia Foxx, is bringing the intellect of NC to a new low not seen since Jesse Helms.

First she claimed, on the US Senate Floor, that the death of Matthew Shepard was a hoax.

Today, on the same senate floor, proclaimed that the Republican plan, unlike the Dems' proposal, "is pro-life because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government."

Why are people like that allowed to speak in public?

Her staff must wench with pain every time she moves her lips.

Just think OBAMA and you'll act like that too.
Obama lies and or will miss lead you.

Naw, I think of senators like Jesse Helms and Virginia Foxx and wench. Even her images spook the hell out of me.

All politicians lie. You can tell they are lying when you see their lips move.

Yeah, I know that's a popular opinion. But to get semi-serious for a moment ....

Do you think that:

A) Only liars go into politics?

B) There's something about politics that forces honest people to become liars?

C) Some combination?

D) Not all politicians are actually liars?

Curious on people's actual beliefs about this.

Money, lobbyists, perks, graft, greed, gifts, bribes, good-ol-boy network, ego, persona, power, all the above.

I can not stand party politics and votes right down party lines. I respect those that break outside the party lines to actually vote with their conscious and with what their constituents want.

I really doubt that anyone has read the proposed Health Care bill in its entirety - all 1740 pages of it.

They simply look to see how senior party members are going to go and go with the flow.

Intelligence Quotients are biased in the way they're tested. A true IQ test would take several hours, if not days, to complete as it would be testing a lot more than math and general knowledge.
It is not a measure of itnelligence. Merely a measure of the ability to absorb knowledge. As such, your own IQ will change from year to year as you brain develops, becomes less elastic, and slowly begins to decay.
Measuring IQ by race is also erroneous, as it's likely to point out educational otpions that are available to those of means more than the IQ of the race. By & large, Jews have substantially more money than black people, and thus can afford to nurture a developing mind with educational material and activity.

IQ is not an indicator, nor indicative, of political preference. Idiots vote for every side of politics. However, political science in Australia has shown that the more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to vote for a fringe party/politician... Reductio ad absurdum: Voting for the Republicrats means you're a retard, vote Green... or something.

Designempire: Yes. Bottled water is chlorinated and flouridated, unless it specifically mentions it's not. A mineral analysis is usually printed on the label.

chlorine is a salt that kills organic (living cell) matter. chlorine does not make your teeth stronger.

*facepalm* Seriously, are you a yr9 highschool drop out?

Chlorine is not a salt! Salts are defined by a neutralised reaction from an acidic and a base substance. Sodium Chloride is a salt. It's table salt, to be precise.
Technically, Cocaine is a salt. I'd like to see that on my table sometime.

Clearly, you drink far too much water....
