The thing that tortures me the most is the fact that people are posting all this crap on Facebook, and then going out of their way to attack somebody that hasn't voted for the party they voted for. To me that's just plain crappy human-kind. I see students who aren't old enough to vote posting stuff on Facebook like "Don't make a mistake, vote Labour", and then I thank god that they aren't allowed to vote with their incredibly shallow understanding of politics. Half the people that vote don't even vote for policies, they vote for the faces and what they assume the party stands for.

That simply means a population moving to a more reliable average IQ, not a dumbing down.
If the IQ of 1000 people is 80, and the IQ of 1000000 is 80, the average is still 80.

Just thought I'd show my above average IQ. :p

My dear sir, before i go on I must say that I am not in any way being obstinate. But...

"iq on planet is constant and population continues to grow"

implies that as the planet grows in population, the IQ does not. IQ is constant, population is increasing. This inference is that in your positioning of said text in response to a post on voter ignorance (or stupidity) you are stating the position that the IQ is not increasing with planet population.

My response was to allude to the fact that the IQ does not not need to rise with population as IQ is a score of intelligence (arguable, depending on application of IQ test). Thus, a population will have an average IQ. It will not rise with population as the two concepts (IQ and population) are not technically related.

In fairness, I checked your profile before calling you 'sir' and saw a string of cyrillic text (?) perhaps implying English is not your first language. Having a teeny look into Turkish (to learn for my holidays) it is common for a lot of structure and nuance in a language to change. So your quote does not say average but it does imply it (in English).

That being said, I would agree that population is growing, the planet is getting dumber.

Snoopers charter just got introduced by the tories after they won election, within literally hours. Goodbye privacy. Next up we're going to get a forced porn filter on UK Internet!
 
As Always and has always the IQ of the "population varies Some groups get Smarter some Stupider.
That's the Nature of Evolution
 
It's everyone's right to vote for anyone they like. I'll never bully someone for not voting for the party i happened to vote for as not everyone believes in the same politics but I'll vehemently oppose policies which i find destructive. Conservatives seem to have taken a lot of the Liberal Democrat seats. I think people voted for SNP because they wanted to punish the system, they are a moderate centrist party so are palatable on most policy; a bit of popularism a bit of tactical voting. I seriously don't think most people voted for SNP on policy. They are seen as a credible alternative. Well we will see how they perform and if people decide to stick to voting for them. For me the SNP landslide is a bit IDGAF until there's an issue i have a problem with.

Boris Johnson is a laughable buffoon, a total meme machine.

EDIT: 56 seats for SNP in Scotland one a piece for Tories, Labour and Liberals. Be interesting to see how the new novice MPs do in parliament, might actually be refreshing or a total flop.

hmmm :shadedshu:
i guess something has lost in translation but original in bulgarian (i did verbatim translation and yap its cyrillic) it is also neutral and "average" doesnt exist and yes it is ambiguous but only on first sight.
if you pick first part only "iq on the planet is constant" and if you want to point that "average" iq is constant then the phrase is incorrect cause the way it is said it means that the planet itself has iq which is obvious nonsense. beside that it doesnt have any meaningful connection with second part "and population continues to grow" so it leaves you only with other possible meaning - "total iq of the population on the planet is constant and population continues to grow" which connects both parts of the phrase and then it makes perfect sense.
you got the right meaning even w/o explanations so my translation inst that badly mistaken (i think also in engl. you have that expression "to read between the lines") even thou you had to show off your above average iq ;)

btw if content of those pints is draught or bock i'll make em double :toast:

That is pretty funny. Colleague of mine in the office still uses a Nokia 5210 because unsurprisingly it's still alive.

Would you rather live in Camden? :D

Im sure camden has its own issues, Id say yes due to the mass surplus of hot scene/emo/goth chicks but at the same time no due the place being a hipster magnet secondly followed by crime and most likely noise pollution.

Oh god...

@Tatty_One - Requesting emergency evac over! - LZ is hot, i repeat LZ is hot!

I blame the problem on the rather large mix of ethnic minorities that have come to inhabit my area and also the council literally owning so many houses and using them to re-house all the ex-con's and other antisocial trailer trash scum of society in this neighbourhood.

When i was a kid, when it was mainly white folk who lived around these parts before they moved or passed away (quite a lot of them were kind elderly folk) crime was almost unheard of.

This is definitely something to show my parents when i see them tomorrow. I think mum might actually consider moving to some place more 'friendly' shall we say.


In total.... 903 crimes in march 2015....
 
Thats recorded crime not solved.

Bit of an eye opener though. I think they started it about 2 years ago 2 a month is average for here.

Bizarrely, my old town has less crime that my current one, however my current town feels ten times safer! More rich elderly people here, where as my old town was 60% housing association estates with some of the worst educational results in the county :laugh:
