  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There's a huge problem for republican candidates in Minnestoa. The state is fifth highest in the nation in IQ scores, 103.7. Interestingly, three of the top ten are western states that are red, so it's not intrinsically a political thing. But historically, republicans since WWII and particularly since the 1960s have done very poorly in states with high IQ scores.

Which brings into question the accuracy of IQ tests
(Barbarian checks PubMed for Journal articles)

Harvard Business Review Nov. 2005
Historically, the only reliable measure of brainpower has been the standard IQ test, which is rarely used in business settings because of the specific subjects it tests for-math, reading, and spatial reasoning-and because of its multiple-choice format. Despite its shortcomings, the standard IQ test is still a better predictor of managerial success than any other assessment tool companies currently use,


Which might explain why there's such a good correlation of state IQ with average income, academic success, and health.
