Intelligence is 80% genetics

[Pray To Jesus]

Sorry for your bad draws my minions.

 

[Printer Bandit]

a study says it's only 12.3%

 

[Mixolydian]

I disagree. My parents are idiots and I turned out pretty well. :hmm:

Smart people would cite a source.

You don't get it - he is so smart he IS the source

Ahhh, so that's the OP's excuse. Inferior genetics. Well, if he chooses to believe in reincarnation, and those religions turn out to be true, maybe he'll have better luck next time.

I thought it was 80% NSA. :ninja:

 

[Vdubchaos]

0% when you come from religious family

:biggrin:

 

[SSSnail]

:biggrin:

Or 100%, inheriting 100% of the stupidity...

 

[natto fire]

Natural law

I rarely trust percentage statistics, as they are the most overused sensationalist tool, discounting fear. I personally think that you definitely inherit a lot of your cognitive processes, but those can either be left fallow or nurtured to wit on many levels. To me, the most important show of intelligence is have a flexible mind and being open to new ideas and accepting that it is impossible to know "everything".

Or 100%, inheriting 100% of the stupidity...

As clearly demonstrated by morons like Heinsenberg, Planck, Godel, Knuth, etc

 

[BudAshes]

Is the other 20% googling ability?

 

[SunnyD]

The irony is the vast majority of statistics are made up.

 

[vi edit]

Clearly, 80% of the time it works all of the time.

Sorry for your bad draws my minions.

In that case...I'm sorry for your bad genetics.

"You are retarded."

makes me sad

So basically, how overtly you troll is the show of said skill? No wonder TFP got banned, because we couldn't handle the subtlety in his trolling, but a grown man that uses "your mom" jokes and "bro" in a not ironic way is given free reign to rile at will.

"The most refined and delicate woman will refuse her husband and children her afterbirth and infant, that comes out from between her legs, as she secretly eats them for food."

"You are retarded."

"The most refined and delicate woman will refuse her husband and children her afterbirth and infant, that comes out from between her legs, as she secretly eats them for food."

That verse isn't from any known translation of the Bible that I am aware of, not to mention it is completely out of context.

The NIV says:

"The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter."

And King James says:

The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter

Next verse.

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
