low iq more kids ?
« on: September 30, 2003, 01:52:06 PM »
Wow !

today we had a tv show that with a professor that claimed that the lower the iq the more kids you have :(
And in the bitter end that will give the country a low iq all over.
(I understand the point that high educated people wait long before they get childs but ......)


What a freaking **** if you ask me.



well what do you gentelman mean ?


PS! Got only 1 child so far and guess I have a high IQ .:confused:

No... You have just one child so you are a genius. :)



It's a twisted logic... People with low IQs are generally poor. Poor people tend to have large families... Therefore, people with large families have low IQs.



I don't necessarily agree with this logic, but I must admit that the majority of my in-laws seem to be on some form of government subsistence; they are poor; they are stupid; and there's a damn lot of 'em.

Four kids here....I'de rather be loved by my children than boast of a high IQ.

Intellect.....what a suspicious quality.

Would you mind explaining that statement in terms this poor dumb Texan can understand. It went way over my head.

Woulda missed this one without Straffo.

When did this children vs iq trend start? Something in the water or hereditary? Guess it means our distant ancestors must have had gigantic intellects compared to us? :rolleyes:

In this case it's just a (not so) dissimulated tentative of Eugenism/Rassenhygiene justification.

This surely isn't true for everyone.

But on the AVERAGE there's lot's of truth in it.

I say we eliminate warning labels. Stop protecting the stupid from themselves.

I'm sure it's true.  The point is not that having kids makes you stupid as some of you are saying .  Rather, those with lower IQ's tend to have more children than those with higher IQ's.  Just as those with lower incomes tend to have more kids.  Facts are facts .  That does not make it good or bad.

I suppose it's possible that intelligence may cause a low sperm count or lack of interest in reproducing but please pardon my acute skepticism.
