{quote} I thought from day 1 the numbers didn't add up - There were 140 flats in that block - Say 4 to a flat - thats 560 and assumes there is only 4 per flat which I think is unlikely.
I don't know what the official number is, but when I got up that morning and looked at the pictures and videos I instantly had the death toll in the hundreds. I was reckoning 300-400 minimum. I sincerely hope I was wrong, but there doesn't seems much news about the survivors, just recriminations and people like that Thornburky woman trying to score cheap political points.

{quote} I have a brother in law who has a maths PhD from Cambridge. He is rather stuck up about it, so in the past I have done things to try to trip him up. It was very easy. For example, he struggled to solve just the top layer of the rubik's cube without instruction. FFS, a monkey could do it. Then I had challenged him to a few online IQ type quizzes and I easily whup him every time. What his bit of paper proves is he's a very good swot, which is something entirely different. So, no, education does not make you smarter.
in a IQ test am in the top% in a literacy test am in the bottom% dose this make me a better/worse person no it dose not dose it give a clue as to what i will be good at yes it dose. dose it give a clue as to whether am a good person or not no it dose not is it anything to take personal yes if i choose or no if i choose not too if a survey comes out saying men of Irish descent have small dicks is this a personal attack on me of course not or if a survey comes out saying European men are the best swimmers is that a personal compliment to me no it's not so if a survey comes out saying Asian people have higher IQ the European people is this a insult or just a fact of course it's just a fact. do European people have higher IQ on average than African no of course not they the Africans do not have PHD or master degrees and that's why they appear to have lower IQ on standardised test you must have a hidden agenda i will not read up on the subject am sure you must have a hidden agenda. are their difference in physical abilities on average because if not the Olympics are mess up yes West Africa has the right combination of genetics for running 100 metres in under 10 seconds and east Africa has the right combination of genetics from long distance running but these are the only difference globally anyone that knows otherwise has a hidden agenda and people are behave like this whilst in America right now Asians need higher test result to get on the some university course as European people and European people need higher test result than Africans for the some university course and the really funny thing is some of the best performing immigrants in America right are from Nigeria anyone that has a understanding of Nigerian Culture will understand it's because they value academic progress but no am sure people are right i just do not understand this as well as them all am trying to do is simplifier it for my evil hidden agenda

{quote} Sorry Ex missed this one earlier. Was he really short ? The story is enough for people to start selling when he is lapping them up and soon the story might reverse, Soros made mistake S&P going to moon as he unwinds and reverses properly ? I honestly no idea but take all their BS with pinch of salt, same goes for stories of Banks buying xyz etc, I don't listen to a single line of it. Whatever the story is I don't think he will be hurting.
A while back there was a report/article on FF news that he was short the S&P. Apparently since last year (?) but definitely since early this year.

Oh yes sorry mate I don't doubt there was article, just saying I don't necessarily believe all the press releases. They're always qualified with "According to ........". On an individual basis he has the power to tell us anything and I suppose what I'm saying is, I would not put it past him to be lying through his (Or others ) gold teeth.

{quote} Q,I never said we can't compare IQs. I said it was not as simple as saying IQ = innate intelligence. My point throughout is this is more complicated that anyone knows, and that includes you. yes like i said in post 5343 (it's a gauge of certain types of thinking and if your good at these types of thinking it give someone a advantage in modern life) and if you look at the satistics base on IQ people with similar results are likely to fall into the some categories someone with a low IQ is more likely to commit crime i have a high IQ but know...

when have i made a claim to know all the answers all am saying is regional and IQ is a reality do you deny west Africa has the right combination of genetics to produce elite sprinters if you will accept this as being true why is it so hard for you to accept IQ and regional is a reality

Have I claimed that IQ and region are unrelated? Where did I say that Ross?


What matters is causation. If I move to West Africa will I suddenly become less intelligent, and a better runner?


Are people really talking about region or race?


I think you are taking a lot for granted. Perhaps you should read what I actually said, not what YOU THINK I said.



you do not understand this topic you are still at the very beginning of this which i am finding frustrating only because you are trying to debate with such little knowledge so this will be my last message to you on the subject also you are emotionally invested in the outcome of the results of IQ test and that is why you got upset yesterday i have no interested in holding your hand to walk you through this subject now back to your nonsense (Do people with higher IQs move to the city, or is it living in the city that produces higher IQs? ) yes they do is the short answer ( I don't think anyone knows the answer to that) yes they do spend some time looking into the subject i you will learn (You first say differences in identical twin IQ is not true, then you say it can be true in different environments - you are contradicting yourself in the same breath wtf) the only way is if one of them was miss treated to the point of not mentally developing properly like i said or suffered head injuries which stop them mentally developing properly the only info out there to say otherwise is all biased and is easily picked apart when other academics look at it


I said that race and the results of IQ tests cannot lead to specific conclusions about race and intellect because of confounding factors... Please explain how that makes me 'emotionally' attached to an outcome.


I said previously that genetics were important for intelligence at an individual level, that's totally different from saying that one race is more or less intelligent than another race. The former is a statement of fact, the latter is not.


It might very well be the case that specific races are more or less intelligence than the other, but there is no definitive proof. There are so many other compounding factors to consider that it makes it simply impossible to draw any definitive scientific conclusions.


How exactly does that make me 'emotional'.




have literally spent years looking into this subject as a pet hobby i have seen countless lecturers and debates and looked at countless statistics and started with the some personal biased as you have now like i said in post 5303 (it's a hard fact to swallow i have looking into study's to disprove regional and IQ and all i done was to prove it further) if you keep on down this road you will find you can look at the feel good shit that gets ripped apart in serious dabates or the real shit that holds up when questioned i once proved that blondes have lower IQ than non blondes from IQ test results from picking the people with lower IQ whilst ignoring the people with higher IQ results you are basically looking at the some thing to have the idea that environment changes someones way of thinking enough to leave a dramatic effect on IQ but at least why i was learning i had the ability not to resort to WTF and putting words in peoples mouths

No offence intended Ross, but the who the fuck cares if this is your pet hobby? lol


This is as much a matter of good scientific practice as it is anything else. In order to make definitive conclusions about race and intellect we must first purge the competing explanations and that simply has not been done.


Until such times as it has been done nobody knows.

Have you done a PhD? I'm guessing no. A PhD is not really about 'swotting', one of things you are marked on is 'original research'.

How do people get good at solving a Rubiks cube? - practice. How do people get good at solving online 'IQ type questions' - practice.

Do you really believe that the ability to solve the top layer of a Rubik's cube means you carry more intellectual clout than someone with a PhD in Maths?

Absolutely!

Anybody moving to West Africa is obviously unaware that WA is one of the sources of the great migration ... on account of the number of people who get shot just for standing in the right/wrong place. Since I presume you are aware that significantly reduces your savvy in my estimation.

....and a better runner?
Again, absolutely!

Indigenous population in WA have developed the ability to perform sustained sprinting. Remember, it is necessary only to be faster than the guy at the back...

Lol, if I decided to move to West Africa I'm clearly not as clever as I think I am.

And you are right, I probably would end up running faster too....
