No parole. My brother just turned 50, so he has been in prison for quite awhile. He’s been depressed for years, but who wouldn’t be? If given a choice between a federal or state prison, most of us would accept a federal prison. Overcrowding is unlikely, the food is better, the guards treat prisoners differently and you are allowed a few more privileges over a state facility. My brother’s biggest complaint is that the loneliness is terrible. Even the guards won’t speak to you. You get an hour or so to go outside, or if the weather is too bad to go out, you have a choice of either using the gym or sitting in the library, but you are not left alone with other prisoners, not even for a minute. He has never spoken of killing himself.
Yes, he always carried a gun.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
So countries and states with a highly educated populace should have a lower rate of violence. That's probably true. I don't have time to research it right now. I have to go to the dentist.
I would argue that none of these perpetrator's IQs were tested.
Other than Ashkenazi Jews, the most intelligent among us are the East Asians of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. From the standpoint of low rates of criminal violence they score very well. The three countries with the lowest intentional homicide rates in the world are Japan, Indonesia, and China.
I was finally able to open the link....I couldn't when I first tried.
Poverty, crime, and violence share a common root — IQ.
I disagree. In my opinion, it's lack of education, not IQ. It's a social problem.
I don't know if highly educated people are less violent, but most credible sources state that there is very little data to warrant that low intelligence causes an increase in violence in a population. The overwhelming cause of violence in a population has proven to be poverty.
"It is easy to be lofty and assume that it is “the unwashed, poor or low intelligence “ that commit these crimes"
IQ is genetic. It is genetic in East Asians and Ashkenazi Jews, as well as all of humanity and frequently manifests itself in skull volume, just as genetic athletic abilities are gifted on some more than others. No doubt a product of evolution in a variety of environments.
He was a product of inbreeding. His mother was his sister.
No
some rumors had it that his father was also his grandfather. Because Ted's birth certificate lists his father as "unknown," his biological father's identity may never be confirmed.He was a product of inbreeding. His mother was his sister.
The reason it won't be happening here any time soon is that too few people support changing our laws. And to make a big change would require a constitutional amendment, not a thing easily done.
Funny, dialog, not related to politics, gets labeled as political, with no reference to politics, offends you. Not everything people discuss is political.
I agree.
You misunderstood my words. My main point being that the conversation is intensely hypocritical. How it’s hypocritical I won’t get into since it comes off as me being against all Americans, which is FAR from the truth.
Everything is political these days... even a pandemic!
