I'm also not in denial about things that you apparently wish to ignore.
Enjoy your little frump ... but please stop being so damned self-righteous about it.
You are very kind and considerate.
The biggest of all words. McCain’s selling point was that he could attract the Hispanic/Latino vote because of his support of amnesty. McCain could have received 70% of the Hispanic vote [instead of 30%] and still would have lost. The point is that the GOP’s decline in the white vote from 2004 to 2008, 60% to 55%, is why Obama won.
I suggest you continue to wallow in your own ignorance. It will make you feel better. And stop presenting your inane anecdotal observations as being something meaningful. You are missing the forest for the trees.

LOL. Sending me a picture of yourself is juvenile.
OOOooooohhhhh ... straight from the first grade playbook. You're good, kabar. REAALLLY good!
You miss the point entirely. We are not remediating the problem with culture anymore. Instead, our universities, pop culture, high culture and society re-enforce the bad mores. With each generation, deviancy is defined down.
Hell yes.
Because extremely low or extremely high scores distort the average. Futhermore, your contrived distribution has an average of 83.3333 and a median between 80 and 90, both of which are below the mean of 100 which is frequently considered the mean. It should be noted ththat your ditribution has 100 at a score of 100 and 200 below 100.
I am not in the mood to discuss semantics,
The average IQ of the population as a whole is, by definition, 100. IQs range from 0 to above 200, and among children, to above 250. However, about 50% of the population have IQs between 89 and 111, and about 80% of the population have IQs ranging between 80 and 120, with 10% lying below 80, and 10% falling above 120.
Understanding IQ Scores
IQ stands for intelligence quotient. Supposedly, it is a score that tells one how “bright” a person is compared to other people. The average IQ is by definition 100; scores above 100 indicate a higher than average IQ and scores below 100 indicate a lower that average IQ. Theoretically, scores can range any amount below or above 100, but in practice they do not meaningfully go much below 50 or above 150.
Half of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s:

90-109 Average 50%
80-89 Low average 16.1%

Below 70 Extremely low 2.2%

My brother’s IQ is in the 99.9 percentile. I wonder where that puts him.
In addition to the statistical problems, I would note that there are large numbers of intelligent people who lack common sense and probably voted for Obama.
lies damned lies and statistics,
point is if you are average you are the best of the worst and the worst of the best.
You are using the liberal playbook. Change the subject and make personal attacks because you don’t have the facts to support your position, only feelings. I think it is time to get out of your mother’s basement and join the real world.
Post all you want, but the median and the mean are not the same thing. By definition, 50% are below the median. Where the mean falls in relation depends on the distribution.
and where did I say mean and median were the same?
I said if a person is average half are smarter half are dumber, period
LOL!
You're really pelosi-ing yourself into a hole today, FRiend....
