I have often thought that it must take some kind of super intellect to come up with and defend some of the idiot ideas that liberals fall in love with.

Sometimes if you back out of all the complex, intricate rabbit hole thought process and reduce a question to its simplest most basic form, you find the real solution does not require an advanced degree.

Simple isn't always stupid and complex isn't always smart or necessary.

So yeah, the parents have no right to know if their child doesn't want them to know. So yes! I support the law! And the appeal will almost certainly fail

A casual reading of the courts decision would indicate otherwise. You are entitled to your own opinion but not necessarily to your own facts.

@GerOttman nevertheless I support the law

There's a quote from Churchill..
The best argument against democracy is 5 minutes spent with the average voter..
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Convivial And the only argument in favour of Democracy is that it works better over all than any other system we have found so far..😷
It doesn't matter who's the more intelligent, it matters who there's more of.

@Rolexeo Are you saying that black people and women are mentally inferior? 🤔
Rolexeo · 31-35, M
@Pambie I am not, the statistics are, in general. I cannot post links, my account has restrictions on it.
Pambie · 26-30, F
@Rolexeo What statistics? Where? Provide a link.

People with a higher IQ can work out that helping someone improve themselves and their life adds more value to them for you and in the end costs you less than having to defend and protect yourself from them..😷

The joys of democracy.

Everyone has a say no matter how stupid, unqualified or biased they are.
Pambie · 26-30, F
@AdmiralPrune That's the biggest problem with it.

One look at the polling data shows that trump supporters are promarily older, low educated white males that live outstate.

i struggle to understand how the political party of dropouts, addicts, and convicts is smarter than everyone else
SusanInFlorida · 31-35, F
@ViciDraco thanks for clarifying. we are indeed on the same page. i voted for nikki haley in 2026. never voted for trump in my life.
ViciDraco · 41-45, M
@SusanInFlorida It wasn't really socialism that destroyed Venezuela. It was the economic warfare levied against them. Mamdani is also closer to what they do in the Nordic states and that seems to work pretty well.
SusanInFlorida · 31-35, F
@ViciDraco i don't believe you can find a credible link establishing how "economic warfare" led to nationalizing factories built by foreign investors, the destruction of their oil industry, or hyper inflation

Duh. Though I agree it's very nuanced. This study doesn't differentiate between Liberalism and Leftism. And if MAGA taught us anything, it's that a lot of people are just opposed to truth as a concept. So a lot of these Conservatives aren't stupid, they're just miserable losers, so they're going along with policies they don't actually believe in.
Pambie · 26-30, F
@BohoBabe Yes, that's possible too.
SusanInFlorida · 31-35, F
@BohoBabe i agree that college professors on average have higher IQs than parolees. Except when the college professors organize anti semetic/ant-zionist attacks on students who worship the wrong way
BohoBabe · M
@SusanInFlorida That doesn't happen. There SHOULD be anti-zionist action towards students. Fascism shouldn't be acceptable in society. But generally, colleges don't. And they definitely don't do anti-semitic attacks.

Let’s just say that Trump keeps confusing a cognitive test with an IQ test. He claims he’s the only president ever to ace a Cognitive test. He’s taken them multiple times while being in the Oval Office because he claims he loves the results. He also HATES smart people but loves stupid Republican voters.

He’s taken them multiple times while being in the Oval Office because he claims he loves the results
he’s taken them multiple times because his doctors are becoming increasingly concerned about his cognitive abilities.
Rolexeo · 31-35, M
That doesn't prove a whole lot. Most conservatives are pretty socially liberal and while they tend more towards religion plenty aren't, a lot of people on the left are religious as well. Authoritarians are consistently shown to score lower on IQ tests, they can fall on either side of the political spectrum.

The rubes who are duped by the billionaire's hired con men tend to be simple, under-educated, trusting.

@whowasthatmaskedman We try not to say that outloud.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@badminton In absolute fairness, I must state clearly that my comment does NOT apply to all Americans. There are some intelligent, informed, enlightened Americans out there, many of whom have travelled and benefitted from walking a mile in the shoes of others.
I am however referencing the perception of non Americans everywhere, and their observations about other Americans as seen through the Trump lens..😷
Pambie · 26-30, F
@whowasthatmaskedman Benefitted from walking a mile? Americans don't like to walk, so don't you actually mean "benefitted from driving a mile"?
ArishMell · 70-79, M
If we apply that question to British politics we'd need establish if with capital or lower-case initial letters, because there are the Liberal-Democrat Party and the Conservative Party.

Whether the members and supporters of any one party are cleverer than any other.. I think this largely meaningless. There are bright and less bright, well-educated and poorly-educated, people in all walks of political life.

Extreme groups, of both Right and Left, tend to attract people who may or may not be particularly intelligent but have poor analytical and critical skills.
