Well, this explains why all of us FReepers are able only to grunt at each other and point at things.

Now, if you'll please excuse me, I've got some feces to throw at some DUmmie who keeps rattling my cage.

I was responding to your claim that you were a high IQ social conservative with a latin phrase which approximates the more common quote that "the exception proves the rule".
But now I question your claim of the High IQ. :)

Yes because the welfare state is made up of Republicsn voters rmfe

Being of Indian origin, I have to say that is a most racially ignorant comment you made, and kind of proved the author’s point.

O.K., let's see how smart you really are.
If you throw a white rock in the Black sea at the time of full moon, what will happen?

Then why do people with higher IQs tend to live in suburban areas, where they vote republican and people with lower IQs tend to live in urban areas, where they vote democratic?

“Watch out Sam Harris, Gordon Hodson and Michael A. Busseri of Brock University are giving you competition for the worst use of statistics in an original paper.

Their “Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact” published in Psychological Science1—headlined in the press as Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice—is a textbook example of confused data, unrecognized bias, and ignorance of statistics.”
