Hey, with everyone's combined intellect we could build a space ship to mars and start a colony of smart people. Of course there would be the question of oxygen... We could terraforms it first I suppose, but we'd all be dead by the time that was finished.

Aw, screw it, never mind.

ever notice it's usually the smart ones who say "I don't want to bring a child into this messed up world"?  We need to tell them "No way; breed; we need the numbers".

I saw a 60 minutes 2 years ago about a man who had the worlds highest IQ (Or so they said); he was living alone in a shack, working part time as a bouncer, writing a book about proving the existence of God.  The very next segment was about a couple who had no jobs, no HS education, and 18 children or so.  They were in such destitue poverty a few years back that they had to have thier children stay with relatives -- two or three here, two or three there... and today they live in a house built for them by habitat for humanity, still no jobs, and get enough government money to feed thier private army.  I think that they mentioned going through 4 gallons of milk a day.  At least the children are pursuing higher education.

i would agree. now would some hacker/engineer like to raise the average world I.Q. by 10?/*i bring it up 1, and you give the 0*/

 jokes aside, it is a seriuos issue and it is true that mostly stupid people are making more stupid people. i mean god even says that his people are sheep. maybe thats why everyone blindly follows and does everything without questioning "higher authority". and they are looked down upon if they ask the obviuos. the feeling is "don't ask you don't need to know right know, all the glory will be revealed in the end". or our governemnts, "we know but you wouldn't understand, its a national secret" or "why do you need to know"
