AJ as far as your reference to PC goes, well done. As for all that stuff about fallacies and so on, mate I don't give a flying flee about getting too deep in breaking down PC. What your link eludes to is confirming my stance on PC. If I want to insult or offend someone, I will not sugar coat it or shy away from the veracity of my point. By the same token I reject any person or laws that restrict or forbid me to say what I think/feel. For example, it is a falsehood and a total miscarriage of justice to stop a shop owner or any business from serving someone they don't want to serve. If the person has a problem with this shop owners beliefs or principals or just outright opinions, too bad. The shop owner must express them or he will be mis-leading the public to go against who HE is. The same way, it is said, you cannot legislate against queers, so also must you not legislate against someone who rejects queers. That is his right. (Please don't take this thread back to making it about the queers, I am only using it as an example as it seems the commentors on this topic have a lean towards queers). The customer has the right to rebuke the shop owners comments and go elsewhere. So clearly, under current laws and opinions, freedom of speech IS being denied.

No problem Joe, here's one for runner.

runner, when Jesus ascended into Heaven, did he fly QANTAS? Did he cash in his 'Frequent Flyer' points. Just asking.

Toni,

He won't just copy and paste; Miss Grimm will be supervising and she told me that she has found some old steel nib pens and some ink powder and an inkwell. She's going to let Paul mix his own ink.

That will be such fun!!

I have some good news for you, Joe.

Despite it being popular amongst you and your PC mates to denounce IQ tests as meaningless, a proper IQ test conducted by a psychologist is actually quite accurate, provided one pays attention only to the scores for each individual category. The overall score is problematic, and a good psychologist will be reluctant to reveal it.

The biggest problem with IQ tests, though, is that they don’t test for other forms of intelligence such as emotional intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence, which are just as important.

Unfortunately it appears your token black friend, Folau, is seriously lacking in these departments too. It’s just as well knuckle-dragging apes like him are good at footy, eh? Meanwhile, the rest of his kind are out knocking off cars and breaking into houses. Fat lot of good their Christianity is doing. Although, if they ditched the religion, their IQ might go up a few points.

A regular bunch of geniuses, that mob. Come to Logan here in greater Brisbane and you can experience firsthand the culture of the South Pacific. It's a real treat.

<<Even Herrstein and Murray (much more than Burt and Eysenck before them) also pay attention to such factors as class and culture (cultural capital, cultural imperatives).>>

Yes, I've heard all the excuses before.

It's a real chicken-and-egg problem, isn't it? Does their culture make them dumb, or do they have a dysfunctional culture because they're already dumb?

AJ, This is clearly character defamation not fact and you might need to prove such. "Unfortunately it appears your token black friend, Folau, is seriously lacking in these departments too.

Issy. as I have told you many times, I received unbiased religious instruction in the virtuous way of Catholicism from good Sister Mary an old Irish nun, and I kid you not, she was a tough old bird! But she knew all there was to know about religion.

"some ink powder and an inkwell", obviously you went to one of those trendy, lefty, politically correct progressive schools, also known as a State School, we were not allowed to use ink until 4th class, it was pencil (HB) or nothing. Bet you didn't even use a "slope card", for your running writing, such moral degradation, Pagan, worse still you could even be C of E!

AJ, you can have a reasonable IQ and be crazy, look at me, my score was 132.
I've got whanau living at Browns Plains, been to the Logan Markets, lots of "Coconuts" there.

Why are gays generally more intelligent than straights, and Singaporeans are the most intelligent people on the planet, Engineers by occupation, and women are smarter than men. So therefore a female gay atheists named Edith, being an engineer from Singapore, is the smartest person in the world. However, William James Sidis (April 1, 1898 – July 17, 1944) is possibly the most intelligent person who ever lived, and he was none of the above, as far as I know.
