    Intelligence is not based purely on genes, but also on circumstances such as availability of educational resources, good role models/teachers, attention, encouragement, a wide range of cultures and opinions etc...

    So your opinion makes absolutely no sense.

    I know its not soley based on genetics, but its thought that genetics accounts for 50% of a persons intelligence.

    But there again, no one can agree on how much is actually nature, and how much is nurture, so that argument isn't necessarily valid.

    I don't see how your idea would benefit mankind at all, not that it would actually make any difference to the general level of intelligence anyway.

    I think the PC brigade bleeding heart attitude permeated in recent years enables welfare abuse in our system, especially when it comes to non-nationals/scum bags.

    - People on boards are know it all's.

    Doesnt matter what the subject is. People know everything and you know nothing. Only can speak for myself but if the thread is about something I dont know alot about, I dont post in it. Not for others sadly.

    I especially love threads about society. Everyone is so "shrewd" :rolleyes:
    I personally am starting to wipe my ass with peoples opinions on here.

    Besides the nature of the internet breads this. You could have some 18yo talking about how someone should handle a divorce :rolleyes: of course you dont know they are 18 and sure as hell act like they have "experience" with this :rolleyes: .. or some middle class knob acting like he knows what its like to be hard up ...

    Pragmatic1, what you're suggesting is eugenics-tastic, plus I've never been convinced that greater intelligence means better people. Intelligent people can be crap people too, negligent, psychotic, anything really, on top of being intelligent.

    Well its fairly well established that intelligence has a strong genetic component. Twin studies have been used to confirm this.

    You cant see how a smarter population would benefit mankind? Take a look at countries that average near the top for IQ and then contrast that with countries that average near the bottom.

    Okay.

    I dont like the fact that nearly every TV show on at the moment is trying to push homosexuality and lesbianism upon us.

    Also there is no way gays should be allowed adopt.

    I don't think they are pushing it on us but it is certainly over represented. However, we are dealing with showbiz where luvvies are in abundance

    I don't see how that's pushing homosexuality on people.

    Those programmes simply feature gay characters.

    In fact, most of the characters in those programmes are straight, so using zinx's logic, they're pushing heterosexuality far more strongly than they're pushing homosexuality.

    Ok then,off the top of my head...

    1.Eastenders-2 and a half homos in it.
    2.Corrie-2 lezzys and a gay who works in a KNICKER FACTORY
    3.Emmerdale-A psychotic homo who put the lad he was riding into a wheel chair and then poisioned him.
    4.Fair City-Another Lezzy
    5.Im A Celebrity-Full of them every season without fail.
    6.X-factor-Same as above only worse.
    7.Off The Rails-I hardly need to identify the gay in that,surely?

    Im sure there are more but all of the above are big rating grabbers and I think there is an agenda to normalise being queer.Who knows how many of the producers/writers/directors are gaylords as well??

    A sneaky campaign by elements of the media to push the gay agenda down peoples throat.

    Horrible

    hmm, all those shows have more straight characters than gay. And how is showing gay people the same as 'pushing'?

    EDIT: "normailise being queer", uh oh... it is normal lol, sure the Greeks did it!

    As pointed out a while back, surely since these shows have more straight characters than gay, you could say they're forcing heterosexuality on people? Along with all the other shows on tv that don't have any gay characters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 83 ✭✭zinx

    Its only a matter of time before they have more flamers than hetros on TV.

    Oh yeah, I nearly forgot-that big goon of a lad dressing up in Corrie.Another weirdo invading our sitting room with his perverted lifestyle.

    A good lash of 3/4 inch wavin across the back of the legs for these lads and it would soon staighten them up.

    For most people homosexuality is a normal part of society.

    Homosexuality is still under-represented overall on TV and in films in that there is a lower proportion of gay characters relative to the proportion of the population that is gay, so I don't see where the agenda is.

    No need to get defensive. So they're popular shows that happen to have gay characters in them. And. Still dont see this agenda.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 83 ✭✭zinx


    For most people homosexuality is a normal part of society.

    There is nothing normal about a man sticking his willy up another mans backside or a woman being with another woman in a relationship.

    We are here to procreate and advance the human race.

    Gays dont want to do that but they want to adopt children so they feel better about themselves.

    They would be better off getting a hamster for themselves and leaving child rearing to normal people.

    Zinx you hate gays, fair enough - not your fault, but no need for the silly "gay agenda" talk (what agenda?) and viewing the mere acknowledgement of their existence as forcing it on us. Or something. As said, they're in a minority on these shows anyway.
