So you're saying you believe that the IQs of people who people who work for a living are the same as those who sit around all day and collect benefits?
Or would you even dare suggest chess grand masters are working for a living then?
Other than that, yes. Yes and yes again.
Just because someone opts not to participate and/or wants to live in near poverty and/or can figure a way of getting money for doing nothing doesn't mean that he's less intelligent.

"For 104 of the 185 nations, no studies were available. In those cases, the authors have used an estimated value by taking averages of the IQs of neighboring or comparable nations. For example, the authors arrived at a figure of 84 for El Salvador by averaging their calculations of 79 for Guatemala and 88 for Colombia. Including those estimated IQs, the correlation of IQ and GDP is 0.62."
As amusing as it is to bash selected nations, I lost interest after reading that paragraph.

I thought you were from the sewers of Holland.
Still it explains why you hate the English so much.
Why on earth do you think I hate the English.
Oh. Wait. You mean I disagree with their government on Iraq.... yeah... it's not quite the same as actually HATING the English, though, is it?
No.
Right. Shut up.

If you had a brain you would relise that I do too.
Its because you continually post derogatory remarks about English people and their culture. It is a VERY common theme. I am amazed that you deny it.
Still it is obvious that you are touchy about it.
