Martin Gardner >>> DaShiOriginally posted by DaShi
Yes, Martin Gardner should be used as the standard reference for intelligence.
When you have done half, nah, lets make that 10%, as much as he did, maybe you can start laughing.
Right now you have got nothing to show for yourself other than snarky comments. Well done.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

I'm not laughing at him. I have no problem with him. I'm laughing at you, and you're inability to form a cohesive argument. Sadly, you couldn't even grasp that. You parrot people like Martin Gardner, then when challenged you fail to defend yourself because you don't understand what you're talking about. Then comes the insults, which is all your response is. Predictable.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

The Dutch tied the Germans so why should the German claim be any more valid?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I imagine it would be a lot like the superior metal using vikings starving to death in Greenland while the stone age Eskimos grow fat hunting walruses and fish.Originally posted by GePap
I say we put Lynn in the middle of the Khalahari desert and see him wow those retarded Bushmen with his amazing survival skills.....
He should be dead in about a week.
The fellow who wrote Guns, Germs, and Steel pointed out that different environments call for different skill sets. He also noted that New Guinian hunters knew the uses of thousands of different plants, easily navigated jungles which foreigners got lost in, could identify dozens of different stone types along with their uses, as well as knew how to find food while the foreign explorers and missionaries would starve. The colonial powers said these were stupid people who didn't know how to write and who couldn't use metal but they certainly were better adapted to the conditions of that place then the foreigners were plus they seemed to have better memories to remember so many things.
Likely it is because they had to remember and learn or they'd die while the Europeans were unfamiliar with the place and weren't as accomplished in memorizing things since they could write things down, read books other people wrote, or ask other people. Just different skill sets and not really a measure of intelligence.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

What's an insult? That you made absolutely no contribution to human kind as a whole and Martin Gardner is a much greater person than you?Originally posted by DaShi

These are facts.

Yes, this tactic. I've already discussed your overuse of the "No I'm not, you are."Originally posted by Urban Ranger
On the contrary, it is you who lack basic comprehension skills.
Let's see.How would you challenge somebody when you don't even have an argument? Hot air doesn't count.
1. I told you were wrong. I then followed that by explain why it was wrong.
2. You responded by insulting me.
Which of those is an argument and which is hot air?
How are these facts? Can you prove them? I could just as easily say the same about you, but I'm a grown up.What's an insult? That you made absolutely no contribution to human kind as a whole and Martin Gardner is a much greater person than you?
These are facts.
It appears that you don't even understand what "insults" are.
Now if facts aren't insults, why was Asher banned for calling you clueless?
The main thing is: you say that I'm wrong, but I show that you are.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

A Norwegian newspaper contacted professor Lynn, and he said The Times' article was wrong. As you can see Germany (Tyskland) doesn't score as high.
The Italians are Europe's smartest people

I like this list better, being part Italian. But truthfully, I also don't put much stock in IQ.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
