I believe if you put into google "world iq map", there are various images that show IQ mapped out into regions. -

This post makes me realise its important to point out Africa is not one country. Two of the countries ive visited trust is so stongs Ive taken goods away from a market place on the promise to go to my hotel and get more money(acter having bough too much stuff). I asked about this and its because in their society taking the goods put you under a moral obligation to pay for them. This is with traders who i had never dealt wirh before.Originally posted by KaiserWilly View PostThey are both cultural (African societies have a very low level of trust) and biological (Africans are in average dumber than Caucasians and Asians).
Ive also been allowed to wander off to the park with total strangers kids and play football and take photographs. Imagine that in the uk!? Id be arrested!
Africans dumber. lol i shant reply to that, but I presume if they'd had the benefit of thousands of pounds spent of their state education they can at least spell correctly.Signed sealed and delivered.Comment

The "safety BS" in the UK is absolutely disgusting. But it is a modern trait imposed by the nanny state.Originally posted by IR35FanClub View Post

Leftist non-sense. You can take the US as a template. Blacks are still underperforming even when having the benefit of "thousands of dollars spent of their state education". Actually the US confirms that Asians are smarter than Caucasians, and Caucasians smarter than Latinos and Blacks.Originally posted by IR35FanClub View PostAfricans dumber. lol i shant reply to that, but I presume if they'd had the benefit of thousands of pounds spent of their state education they can at least spell correctly.Comment

I've got to respond to this, it's a cop-out.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostFor starters, 18-21 century, western Europe oppression and exploitation (although you could argue that now its probably more Sino-Asian)
Japan exploited the Chinese and the Koreans until well into the 20th century, but those two countries are doing all right now.
Germany oppressed and exploited several countries under Hitler and Spain once owned most of central and south America. Most of those countries are now in reasonable nick.
Australia, Canada and New Zealand don't have many problems.
People cannot bleat about bad things from a lifetime or more ago, a country is what its people make it.Comment

You have a point, but I'd say that the places you've named threw off the yolk quite a long time ago; many African countries had USSR or US sponsored dictators well into the 80s and even after the USSR fell apart, and many still have foreign sponsored corrupt governments or are the battlefields for foreign wars. Those countries that are relatively free of these things are now starting to do much better in terms of both economics and social issues; sure, there's a long way to go, but things are looking up in large areas of southern Africa. Even Zimbabwe is looking better since the idiot Mugabe's had to deal with Morgan Tsvangirai every day, who is, to my mind, one of the bravest men in Africa; truly an exceptional individual.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostI've got to respond to this, it's a cop-out.

of a smiling Irishman say that the UK should leave the Falklands in order that it should "learn a lesson" from its colonial past. I then asked him whether present day considerations should be taken into account i.e the situation with the people living in the falklands and the integrity of the claim of the Argentinians. He said that these were not important.
I then drew the parallel his was the type of Bigotry that was driving the sectarian hostilities in Northern Ireland and thus preventing any progress being made for the future. That living according to the past was no way for any society or community to progress. Despite being a successful businessman in the UK he could not make any logical argument to support his view.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I don't understand all this hatred against Europe.
One thing that the single market has failed us, though, is that it should have given us cheaper prostitution. Instead we spend all night w@nking on 't net, one tab on CUK, one tab on Youporn.<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment
