I’m hearing a lot of what y’all are saying on this thread and sitting here nodding my head in agreement. I was going to remark something a bit off color as well, but in finding the words to say, I remembered a story on a podcast that I frequently listened to.
Here it is: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/levar-burton-reads/id1244649384?i=1000651142934
I don’t want to give away the story in case anyone wants to listen to it. It was eye opening for me. One of the best that Levar read IMO.
But all that is to say, maybe, just maybe, like the black klansman, it would actually be a good thing to have a Republican Party on the campus of FAMU. I think we need leaders who inspire less polarization of our country, if she is it, then I think she should be celebrated.
For the record, I have walked the campus of FAMU, and it is a lovely place. The trees covered in Spanish moss are wonderfully bucolic to stroll through in such a busy city. And of course, shout out to Loretta.
Ah the early MTV era, such a good time to be alive for music.
And yet, in that part of the country, there will be plenty of people waiting to be on the receiving end of his TP.
I don’t know about y’all, but I’d prefer not to win a Darwin Award.
I’m more a visual person, so let me show you some graphs: Famine rates are down: https://ourworldindata.org/images/published/Famine-death-rate-since-1860s-revised_850.png

Have y’all seen the pictures of chimney rock?
No thanks, I’ll take it without the butter.
Lime? Don’t see a lot of lime candy all by themselves.
Butter too. So many candies include butter, but it’s rarely hyped as the star flavor.
Shitstain on gently-used white carpet.
- Democrats: eww, we have to clean that up!
- Republicans: Hold on! it changes up the colors in the room.
- Independents: Both sides have a point.
Democrats: But it’s a shit stain on the carpet!
This is a well written article. I’m not sure how the OP came to their conclusion. The US ranks 24th on average IQ (with an IQ of 98) and is in good company with France, Denmark, Australia also at 98. For those curious, Canada, Finland and Germany were 99.
24th out of 102 should not be considered “dumber than average”. Additionally, as the article clearly states, the average has been going up, approximately 3 points per decade, and this is partly due to an increase in logical thinking.
East Asia is the outlier here, with many countries at 101 or higher (China at 105) though I find it curious that Hong Kong and Macau were singled out separately from China.
I wonder if these higher numbers have something to do with the homogeneity within these cultures, the average age of the county’s population, and/or, as another commenter mentioned, the way in which the higher IQ countries approach education.
