'Repeat rapists are already castrated in most states in the US. The state's burden of proof is similar to that of capital punishment, and the castration is chemical and reversible, not physical and...|||What's there to like about politician Trump? He was appalling as a candidate and he's already a lame duck as president. The vast majority of us who aren't his voter base are just waiting his term out...|||Not on the secondary market no. The only reason I was interested in bitcoin when it was first released was as a possible hedge against fiat volatility. The global fiat currency crisis never panned...|||Bitcoin is the only crypto I have any experience with. I mined a few back in 2010 when it was still new and relatively worthless. They were maybe $10 to $20 a coin OTC. I sold them to a friend who...|||Well, great minds think alike. :proud::wink:|||In the normal sense of the word, yes. Although I'm more broadly in favor of equal rights and equal opportunities than specifically feminism per se.  I suppose I'd be an egalitarian without...|||The Fell One   I'd say my typings for them remain the same. Except I'd say Genghis Khan is more generally a Ti-dominant and that's the only thing I can say with any reasonable certainty while...|||Not really into plump women so probably not, no. I wouldn't mind say a small muffin top but much heftier than that and I'd start to think we're too mismatched and incompatible in terms of hobbies...|||Oh, that test. There's a thread with people posting their results to that test in the socionics subforum here:...|||Lol, it sounds like a poorly translated or awkwardly phrased socionics question about Se. I would say it fit me when I was younger but now that I'm older and more settled in my life, not as much....|||Generally speaking, I try not to leave myself open to criticism if at all possible. How I handle criticism depends on:  - What was said. - How it was said and,  - Who's saying it.  If what was...|||Something that isn't overpriced and pays a good dividend yield. Otherwise, I'd be very hesitant on trying to buy low in this heated stock market. Almost everything seems overpriced right now and...|||Sparky No comment on the quotes but lol the description between the both types make perfect sense to me. In the military, if you can't come off as someone worth following to others then you'll...|||I won't be able to get back to you extremely quickly but I will get back to you eventually.|||I'm not especially patriotic but in times of great need, I will rise to the occasion, sure. I used to be much more when I was younger but age and maturity has made me question my sense of patriotism....|||Lame. What else do you have.|||Showing off your meme skills? :wink:    You are too kind. :kitteh:  I agree, I don't like arrogant opinions either. Which is why I prefer to inform to opine, because I'd rather give you the pros...|||Thank you Wild, that's so sweet of you to be having so many forum members in mind! :)  In all honesty though, unless you wanted to talk about politics, I'd be more inclined to talk about world events...|||How did I miss this? Congrats Icy!|||Ugh yes. There have been a few times where the smell was so bad that I immediately walked back out because I didn't want someone thinking I created that vile smell. I tend to try not to go #2 at work...|||Or if running and jumping around seems like too much monkey business and not nearly aggressive enough, then there's always taking up a martial art. :tongue:  ...|||My palms are sweating after watching just two minutes of that video. :shocked: I used to do quite a bit of parkour and free running when I was younger and I used to practice at the first gym in the...|||https://s9.postimg.org/9rcyd7pan/8values.png|||The guy sounds like a troll in real life, hahah. He could be an ENFJ but I think the more poignant point to make here is that you're an ESTJ. So not only is his Fe clashing with your Te: What you...|||Not becoming so worked up over leggings would be a good start. :wink:|||Or actually responding to the actual argument without resorting to snide insults. Plus I don't think much data on the average IQ of Nobel Prize winners.|||Seriously. What a poor display of judgment.|||The 120 IQ range was in reference to a study on self-made millionaires. I was referring to the US since the person I was speaking to and I both live in the US.     Sad really. How hard you're...|||You really only need to do so when necessary. Otherwise you'd have your time better spent enjoying some milk and cookies. :wink: Well with that kind of an attitude you may never have the opportunity...|||Of course one should never uncritically accept what one is told, but most of the effect is due to a larger portion of the population moving to an urban city where there would be much more constant...|||Well, the Flynn Effect is only documented from a relatively modern time (the 1930s) and it mostly explains the rapid urbanization of much of the advanced world during the time. Which is what mainly...|||Anyone whose looked into IQ will more than likely know what the Flynn Effect is. What about it?|||Did you look up the average IQ for each of the subjects you were talking about? They're all about the same. You citing a general estimation based on education to try to prove anything is just...|||:rolleyes: You really aren't getting it are you? When you fail to apply even context to academics and working professionals. You have no valid argument for comparison, because you're comparison is...|||I changed the word incomprehensible to inexplicable since that word better represented what I meant. Also, I mean inexplicable in behavior, not in reason. NTJ types can reason perfectly fine all day...|||Yes, I agree, no one wants to enable a sense of entitlement. A person would need to work for it. Although I think perhaps too high of an IQ would make a person seem unrelatable and at times...|||No, you didn't cite any context. Just your own biases which you seem unaware as to how you're applying your biases. Most physicists, mathematicians and academics in general aren't world class...|||Typical example of someone who won't amount to much. Smh. This topic always tends to bring out the dum dums when it comes to IQ.|||Not every physicist and mathematician is going to be a world class scholar. Although I will agree that academic fields that compete with other academics around the world must be quite brilliant in...|||That's an empirical fact. Plus I said most not all. If you're going to cite logic then at least be logical.    I work in a profession where the average IQ of professionals is supposedly 130. For...|||I don't mind wearing a suit on occasion but for the most part I prefer business casual to full formal wear. I work where casual to business casual is the norm so I have a few options when it comes to...|||Leader VDE-M  https://s10.postimg.org/hwkm8dk8p/test_result.png  Galvanized by the concepts of bravery and purpose, Leaders believe it is nothing short of destiny that they rise to be a force of...|||Genghis Khan wasn't so much a conqueror as he was an administrator. While his armies did conquer vast amounts of land under his name and he would then pacify newly conquered regions with extreme...|||Well, aren't you wrong. :laughing;|||Depends on what you mean by liberal. I'd consider myself to be moderately neoliberal which doesn't really align with either party. Which is why I vote based on the candidate, and not along party...|||Right. I think the differences you're referring to is the difference between a conservative and liberal mindset. Which isn't necessarily the absolute differences between a Republican and a Democrat....|||Hm, I don't think ae1905 to be that bad but I suppose you have your reasons.    lol Sorry. That statement wasn't directed at you. That was more my disliking of PC culture the past few years...|||Yes and thank you for posting those articles. I found them to be informative but I balked at the author's assumption that libertarians vote Republican. Some do but most are politically...|||This is hilarious in how poor the author's reasoning is.  Including his jump in logic to conclude that Republicans are smarter than Democrats. :laughing: Does the guy not understand that real...|||Well, IQ mainly determines a person's ability to problem solve. Whether you consider that to be valid or useful would be subjective but seriously, the PC nature of downplaying intelligence is so...'
