    Accurately interpreting what other posters say is an indicator of IQ.

    Even in Canada.

    Lol, you are nuts if you think a list that has a country with an average IQ score of 59 is accurate.

    You also have no idea what an IQ is.

    A dead give away that the list is inaccurate is that it has first world countries listed with an IQ of less than 100 (assuming that the tests are internationally calibrated) that's just absolute silliness.

    IQ is a measure of where you compare to others. The average IQ is 100. According to that list, the average IQ is something like 85. 85 is the upper range of a down syndrome individual. An IQ of 59 is retarded.

    Let's not forget some people's ideas of democracy is a lot different from the classical understanding of democracy.

    I like how these Occupy Wallstreet nuts like to preach "this is what democracy looks like" or in any leftist protest, in their mind democracy is creating chaos. As you can well see with the Egypt situation that whole song and dance was just some leftist delusion that is democracy at work. Wrong! It is the beginning of a Caliphate.

    When you delve into of the subject of a country's IQ we need to look what the education system is like and the general knowledge of the people. Education and general Knowledge are actually two seperate animals. However you cannot neglect the notion that a country's culture and how the people are taught as far as their beliefs and their society is revolved around...a place like the Middle East democracy cannot and will not work for the simple fact it is not compatible with the Western's approach to a "democracy."

    Democracy is something of a western idealogy which is not compatible with Eastern idealogy. There are somethings in this world that cannot find Harmony and that is democracy in the Islamic world.

    IQ =/= "intelligence". It's hard to define such a term with any viable precision.

    The IQ-Scores have been made by liberals and are faked.

    Obama is a True Dictator, not Bush.

    The problem is that dictators willingly deny peoples of a good education for better surviving of dictatorships.

    There are many of such "Scores" produced by liberals for discredit of Christians.

    For democratic countries, but for Muslim or African ones the average IQ-score 75 is fine.

    Democracy has nothing to do with IQ scores. It's about being able to put the best thing for the most people into law, so logically, if you wanted the best people to have a democracy, you'd be most interested in the ability to live within their means and delay gratification -- in short, people with self control.

    So IQ scores are only correct if they support your premise?

    Right.

    America is certainly awash with fatsos.

    But, aside from the aborigines of Australia, and a certain certified moron from New Zealand we are all familiar with ......next to sub-Saharan Africa .....The F-ing (F for Fig) Mid East is dumbed down by The Crazed, Fanatical ISLAMOFASCIST Mullah-Swine.

    To be fair, the public education system is trying to dumb down the population as best it can for the coming dictatorship. :mrgreen:

    Last I checked the US was ranked 48th internationally in science and math.

    Actually Our Founders were quite worried about The Masses having
    too much information with the invention of the Printing Press.
    The Founders feared mob takeover.That If the Masses read too much
    they might get to talking and want to establish what happened in
    - The Ox-Box Incident - where a couple supposed horse thieves were
    tried unfairly by a Posse { Mob } who didn't have nearly all the facts.
    It's the classic movie of Frontier Justice.Often times an Intelligent
    Populace looks for ways to be budding anarchists.
    Like - The Nation - magazine.
