...thought so!

a chart that has been constantly discredited.

And posted 3.2 billion times on this forum alone.

It's old and boring, just like the French Military History joke.

well, you aren't an old timer here, it would appear.

The French Military History threat is the Republican version of this hoax, it basically paints France as having only lost at military conflicts.

And it's been posted a hundred million times.

okay, will delete out of shame :(

but if you must know...

always amusing for the first time, but when it reaches time # 30,000,000, well that's a whole different story. When the Iraq war was being planned and all this was put up so many times...

Well, that's odd. The French were the reason we are a country. Of course, it goes the other way around too.

But the IQ thing makes sense :)

please don't talk about these things, they're old. I've seen this IQ thing a few thousand times since the 2000 election. I've seen it debunked a few thousand times since the 2000 election. It may have been slightly changed due to the 2004 election, but it's still BS. Just like the French Military History thing.

Please excuse the young...I just cannot find out how to delete the thread. It will go away by itself.

don't worry.

Taken from the same website:


"i was bored last night, so curiosity got the best of me and i decided to see if there was a correlation between %bush voters and %college grads by state (nerd!). so i found out each state's %Bachelor's degrees from the census and ran it--indeed there was a negative linear relationship between %bush voters and %college grads (R = -0.71)-- which means, the less % of college grads, the more % bush voters. DC had the highest % of college grads (42.5%) and the lowest % of bush voters (9%); West Virginia had the lowest % grads (16.1%) and a relatively high % (56%) bush voters...... Interestingly the last 14 ranking states in grads (&lt22%) were all bush winners (many 55-60+% voted for bush), and 11 of the top 14 ranking states in grads (>30%) were kerry winners."

So while the IQ chart is false, the level of education within a state still shows a correlation between Kerry voters and intelligence.

Anyway why do people equate IQ with good judgement? A road sweeper may have a better sense of a person that a high flying executive. IQ has been discredited before as a signature of basic intelligence and God forbid, decency.
