ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Fragony]

You have asked him this several times in various forms now. Either he does not want to answer this, or, in a strange twist on the given topic, maybe he cannot answer this because he lacks the IQ to understand the question. In school he would certainly not get a good grade for failing to answer the question five times and on IQ tests it would be a serious downgrade.

So Fragony, what is it now?

The first thing that comes to mind is me having an uncomfortable take on things. A take on things that is offensive. I understand all that, and admittingly I talk too much in contempt. But at least I am not in denial when it comes to some things.

The day I can read the validity and reliability tests that demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that someone has developed a culture-neutral measurement instrument for IQ, then we can start considering these kinds of comparatives.

Until that point, we are more or less trying to calculate the weight of a bag of oranges using a meter stick.

Are you telling me that that Facebook test where I identified which polygon would appear next was wrong in saying I am the smartest man alive?

This is nothing more than an attempt to avoid a direct question. I'll try again:

How large does the difference in IQ have to be in order to get a noticeable difference between 2 persons?



By the way, I know this question has an answer. I am not asking questions that have no answers here.

You allready got my answer, you just don't like my answer.

No.

You showed me a map (supposedly) showing varying levels of IQ around the world.

You have not told me what level of difference is necessary before you actually notice this difference. You may use the map if you prefer that over numbers(though I don't see why).

For example, is the slightly darker blue of Italy enough of a difference to notice a difference between Italy and Germany? What about Russias slightly lighter blue than Poland? Cameroons darker shade of red compared to Nigeria? Or will you only notice it when you go from colour to colour, ie. UK's blue versus Ghana's red?

And what is the difference between the colours, in numbers?


By the way, the average IQ on a dutch IQ test is 100, not 105. If it's anything but 100 in any country, the test is wrong.

We take a break from this regularly scheduled rant to return to topic:

For what its worth, Canada is in:

The whole strategy seems to hinge on the locals being up to the combat side of the mission. Just wondering, did the Kurds ever actually get the weapons they were promised? (you know, to put them on some kind of parity with ISIS?)

Can't they take them from the Iraqi army like everyone else does? Rout an Iraqi unit or two, take their weapons...

Chop chop cut *gurggle* another day another head. War-reporters know the risk but this man was there to help. Even Al Quaida asked for his release. Rest in peace in pieces.

Meh, savages.

From what I know, they currently train kurds over here to use MILAN missiles. Afterwards they will get those, as they were aged surplus anyway and delivering them to Kurdistan is cheaper than dismantling them in accordance with European environmental standards.

So when you never answer a specific question and reply to a quote with something that has absolutely no relevance to the question you quoted, you call that "talking too much in contempt"? I call that either an inability to come up with a proper response or changing the topic the entire time because you do not want to leave the territory you feel comfortable on, which so far is only the realm of very vague generalizations that you can only back up using vague links to nazi sites.

To be quite frank, to some extent HoreTore makes you look like a fool because he asked for a number somewhere around five times now and you always give him vague text in return. You made it worse yourself by saying the answer is simple and then not giving an answer that fits his question. If you think it is easy to answer his question, why did you not do it until now?
