getting old short term memory loss!
IQ tests are utter shite. If I practice taking IQ tests all week, I will score significantly higher than I would if I had not.
Therefore, they are useless at gauging innate intelligence. Which, as those of you who have studied Claude Levi Strauss will already know - what we perceive as intelligence is culturally defined.
One of the biggest threats we face and what is coming to its natural conclusion in Pakistan, is Wahabism.
Grayson must be troll. That is the best explanation for outright racism and - let's be honest - complete bloody stupidity. Whose sock puppet is he? Come on, own up.
Reggie - way too far. If you really think that being eliminated was a sign of cowardice then you simply haven't done any reading or research. Before you shoot your mouth off about such sensitive subjects it is, surely, both sensible and polite to do both.
Macabee - there is a distinction between Muslims and Arabs. Those who demand sensitivity towards themselves ought to extend it to others.
Sammy - I think that now the troll has hijacked the thread we ought to leave it. We don't talk to trolls...
I don't see why I should not, having done research in the area, wonder why there was not more rebellion. I am not sure that I would put it as cowardice as much a simple acquiesence; similar to that evidenced by passers-by in the street when someone is lying on the ground - people don't like hastening danger, even ultimately to lessen its impact. You readily accuse others of voicing blunt opinions but you are one of the biggest mouths around here, arrogating to yourself some kind of right of determination. Moreover, Grayson is well-known, is he not? How can he be a troll? Just disliking someone's else's opinions is no reason for turning your back. And then you speak of manners!

The old religions are crumbling. Here is where the world is headed.

I do think, Grayson, that you are blaspheming, since Muslims recognize the one true God which you, presumably recognize and it is not God who is a bigot is it?
