By definition, 50% of people have an IQ over 100.

Is this based on the US population? Or the world population?[/b][/quote]
I used an IQ of 100 to be (what I thought was) fair.

I realize that people are much more stupid than I gave them credit for!!!

I thought it was one of his best speeches so far. He seems alot more confident, but that is what's scaring the international community and all the God references will only strengthen his being perceived as the leader of a crusade.

I was pleasantly surprised by the bag of goodies he opened even internationally like the Aids relief help, hopefully that will go a long way to smooth some of the anti-american sentiment abroad. The other stuff seems to be just usual speech 'filler'. Medical help, etc. I still don't have it I keep hearing about it for decades.

Notice the focus from Axis of Evil to Target Iraq Evil! This speech pretty much cemented in my mind the idea that Iraq deposing Saddam THIS YEAR is the only acceptable outcome of this conflict as far as the administration sees it, as this should be, anything less is suicidal for the whole republican party, certainly for the Bush family and inner circle associates.

Only as necessary.

Well, the DEFINITION of IQ is

IQ = 100*(Mental Age/Age)

IQ is Intelligence Quotient - hence the division (quotient)

Examples:

1. If a child's age is 10 and the child scores the same as the average 10 year old, the IQ is
100*(10/10) = 100

2. If the 10 year old child scores the same as the average 13 year old, the IQ is
100*(13/10) = 130

So the test is always comparative and in theory is continually renormalized so an average score is 100. Any subgroup may average higher or lower on average than 100 - either due to chance, environment, and/or hereditary factors. Big arguments therein.

There are many different IQ tests - none of them standard. Results may vary across tests though there is fairly strong correlation. If you score well on one test, you are likely to score well on another test.[/b][/quote]
Cool, I didn't know how they figured out IQs,

Thanks

Right. Was thinking the same thing.[/b][/quote]
It's really quite simple. Ask yourself if you had to listen to a man like Rumsfeld give you shit all the time and who doesn't care about or listen to your concerns for your men in the upcoming war and then see if you feel compelled to cheer for the man who put him there.

Yes Colin, and I send mail,only as necessary :)

Did I ever tell you that I like your posts. >;-))

Most of the time!!!

I thought this through when I saw it: The times they focused on the joint chiefs, the speech was lauding them so it was pre-arranged that they were getting clapped AT so they didn't have to clap. All in a day's work.
