they had little to do with the status of their IQ, democracies have to recognize this, and have a way to educate people on all points of view. Fox should be banned from the US as it was banned from Canada.

And not all people of low IQ make wrong choices. I have seen some pretty smart technically high IQ people just do dumb things.

But there is an intersection in the population of dumb, conservative and prejudiced that has signed onto the GOP.

I have known many children that have low test scores on intelligence tests who were able to apply what they have very well to life. Then there are those who consider what they think they know to be infallible and through sheer force of ego do not grow and cannot adapt. Ignorance is not an acceptable excuse.

They don't teach IQin stuff in the Bible, but they learn ya 'bout hatin' on gays, womin and difernt folks.

(DISCLAIMER: /sigh No, I do not think all Christians are dumb. Just the Conservative ones. Well, I'm sure there are others, but we'll just stick to the Conservatives, for now.)
