You realize that the Stanford-Binet tests the ability to take the Stanford-Binet, right?

IQ tests reveal a little about the intelligence of a subject, but only in a constricted field, and laregly under Western cultural influences. The numerical/shape sequences are pretty much universal, I think, but particularly the comprehension questions are susceptible to cultural skewing.

He's a thoughtless man with a vapid program of action that is unrealistic in the extreme. He's a loud-mouthed boor, a racist who treats his own staff like dirt -- and those are people he knows, how do you think he'll treat strangers?

He doesn't know shit from shinola about the law or the Constitution -- witness today's backpedaling about "the military will do what I order them to do" -- and he's a megaphone without a brain.

As far as what I'm afraid of if he should become president, I'm not worried about that. You're watching him split the Republican party as we write. But if that imbecile were to be President, I'd be afraid of the damage, probably fatal, he'd inflict on the American Experiment. We're ailing as it is -- the last thing we need is a Know-Nothing cunt in charge of Supreme Court nominations, and trying to usurp power for his own greedy benefit.

Fuck Donald Trump with a five-point buck.

Speaking on behalf of the rest of the world , WTF is wrong with America?

42% of Americans believe in Creationism.

What do you expect???

What always has been wrong with it since 1978, I believe. When the Supreme court ruled corporations to have human rights, or something along that line, when it comes to donations. The result are unlimited campaign bribes for politicians playing corporate ball. The result is also that only well funded candidates stand a chance of being elected into any office. Wether it's their own money or the money they're collecting. The donators, of course, expect something in return. So these folks don't really represent the people but their donors.

America is worst in that department, but that doesn't say, it's much better in any other part of the world. The rent a politician mentality has long reached the shores of Europe and Asia. It's worst withing the EU structures, since, as opposed to national parliaments, what happens at Brussels is largely removed from the public eye. So, lobbyists go in and out there, but I want to stress, it's still about national politicans, their parties sent there to represent their people within the EU. So it's not some unknown and faceless body we're talking about.

One of our former ministers got jail time a couple of years ago, because, at his later job at Brussels, as leader of the conservative delegation, he was too open for accepting bribes and walked right into the trap of some british journalists.

I don't know what the Stanford Binet tests are, I just used a google search to find the results.  They seemed like they might be accurate to me because I thought the results are pretty much reflected in other signs of IQ.  Like Asian countries are at the top, Asians earn more than most in America, tend to do better in school, Asian countries have a history of innovation when it comes to language and inventions and so on, high life expectancy, low crime rate.
  In comparison to say, the lower countries on the chart like Ethiopia with huge levels of poverty, high crime rate, corruption, high illiteracy, not much recent innovation in terms of technology.
A lot of these differences can obviously be put down to purely economic differences but I'd be willing to bet that the differences in economy can be put down to how a country performs in ways that can be expressed through intelligence, like technology, arts, finance, law, language and so on.
I'm not saying the results are all perfect or that they are due to genetics either.

You are over reacting. He is a good guy.

Ok, good talk.

Bill Maher had some fun with the douchebag last night.

Roll in the big bad boogeyman, if someone's a bigoted asshole. There's always some room for some ultimately stupid Hitler comparisons.

Dump is bigoted and primitve in his own right. Deal with him on that basis, since it's undiluted Dump you're getting and not Hitler.
