BOFH: Budget cuts

Thumb Up

Cheers!

I'll glady reward that effort with a case of Australia's finest lager. While enjoying a schooner the other day I couldn't help but take a moment to appreciate the flavour. "Self," I thought, "VB is a full flavoured brew, less malty in character and slightly darker than CUB's traditional lagers. A gentle fruitiness in the aroma complements the sweet malt on the mid-palate balancing perfectly with a robust, hop bitterness."

Museum drops Watson talk in race row

Alert

the science backs him up

If you trust science, then you need to accept that Watson is right.

However, it's more important that we discriminate between individuals than groups. The smartest person I know is black, but that doesn't stop me accepting that as a race they have a lower average IQ, which isn't accounted for just by lower socio-economic standing.

The highest IQ doesn't belong to anglos (average 100). Asians come in at average 110 and asian-anglo "hybrids" come in at average 120 which means that the average anglo-asian has a higher IQ than around 90% of anglos.

but from a smart guy who sits around most days, it's not your IQ, it's what you do with your life that matters.
