Yea...1 fourth of the population is retarded--just look at the bell--curve...another fourth is subhuman, and 1 fourth is normal...and then like 1 fourth is 'smart'..this is how we get our average of '100'--.therefore, if there are so many retarded people in the population...are we destined for doom (the smart fourth) due to all the retarded things the retarded people use to entertain themselves...? How do you know what to take pride in...when you know a fourth of the population is retarded? Should the top fourth do a seperate society so we don't get confused with what is "retarded funny" and what is actualyl funny?
I mean....I think I am becoming retarded by being near retarded people....maybe if I were near smarter people or people as smart as I then I would be more challenged...aka--have a point of reference..

I mean...in a couple of years...I could actually start thinking the stuff my retarded pals tell me makes sense...and then I would have joined the retarded fourth fo the population..
furthermore, does a retarded fourth...make other
people in the population retarded...thus not allowing us to reach potential.
Examples: oprah wimphrey...and all the stuff on the media that is retarded...does this make us more retarded because of all the retardation?
does this retardation help the economy...after all, the smartest people in academia...are like liberal facists..(socialist inclined)...but this could just be the atmosphere of academica, and quite seperate from intelligence.
does having a retarded fourth help us or deter us?

devinthe....
look at the bell curve...
sum the percentages below 85...and you get 16...
so no, its a lot higher than 1.5.

1.5 is mental deficiency...

I am sure that if you really just want to rant and ask rhetorical questions then there are plenty of sites available to host your blog.

You have chosen to use the concept of a bell curve..which some would argue is a subjective construct that purports, but fails to define intelligence. Since you have chosen this as a measurement of intelligence, I think you live on the far left quadrant of the bell curve. You are definitely a few standard deviations west of the arithmatic mean. This feeble attempt to appear witty by making light of people with intellectual and cognitive disabilities could be an indication of one or more axis II condition/s on your part...reference that.

retardation is an old time period. i might want to point you reaccess the way you artwork jointly with human beings and out of your question/remark i does no longer say you are able to immediately team your self with the "smart 25%" anymore than you are able to positioned someone in yet another team that you're feeling is perfect to look down upon. Stereotyping is erroneous.

Actually, oh brilliant one, about 1.5 percent is "retarded".
But apparently one was smart enough to write about a lot of junk for no reason. Hmmm
