In memory of those we lost in the past years... this dedication is to you, the eccentrics, the free thinkers, people who made a difference in our lives both in the real world and on the net.Thank you for the memories.

In fact, I think that humanity deserves extinction.............let some other species have a crack at fucking the world up.

14:10 - Moarskrillex42: She said something about knowing why I wanted to move to Glasgow when she came in. She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?
The Muslims are also outbreeding the west.

Increasing nutrition, decreasing disease burden and increasing information richness are environmental factors which are increasing the average IQ, but these factors can only act on the genetically determined neural hardware that each person receives, and some people inherit the genes for a creaky Pentium I while others inherit the genes for a Core 2 Quad.http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1520
And some people choose Apple, claiming to be different.God, I'm profound today.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northeast/series9/week_six.shtmlWith the dregs of society breeding like rabbits while fertility continues to fall among the more intelligent individuals, I sometimes wonder about the future of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. It seems that the average IQ is set to decline, but that decline won't be across the board, as people tend to breed with others of a similar IQ. Instead, it looks like Homo Sapiens Sapiens is in the very early stages of a speciation event in which human partner preferences have caused a degree of reproductive isolation between the high and low ends of the IQ distribution. Since this reproductive barrier stems from basic human nature, it should be resistant to cultural, economic and political shifts, and is only likely to grow stronger as the population continues to diverge. With time, the classic IQ bell curve will split and there will be two peaks with a valley between them, which will grow deeper and wider as the groups continue to separate, and as less people will be in the middle IQ range to provide a bridge population, there will be less genetic flow between the two groups, increasing the rate of separation.
