Can you make that picture larger, my assight isn't too good these days

[Ksandra]

asians all have brown eyes. Asians are good at math.

Therefore, brown eyes help people be better at math.


Basically what I got from that study.

Correlation =/= causation

As someone stated, we grew up in the technology age. The fact we have an insane access to information is way more an indicator of higher IQs than anything. Was talking to a friend about this, we remembered that people (teachers) used to comment when we were younger about how the Encyclopedia Britannica had more info than Thomas Jefferson would have learned in his whole lifetime. Now, compare the encyclopedia to the internet.

Hell, kids having shit like the fisher-price educational toys and those baby geniuses books probably do more for their IQ at a young age than anything else.

science argument about spanking, major lulz. you have to be extremely retarded to even present that article as science.

[Chun Liroy]

Oh... looks like Hey cloned himself something something psychology is a true science something something

[hey]

science argument about spanking, major lulz. you have to be extremely retarded to even present that article as science.

And yet the data is still data.

[Chun Liroy]

Statistics mean nothing without proper interpretation.

[Ksandra]

And yet the data is still very pointless data that just states IQs have gone up and spankings have gone down, but nothing to suggest the two are related.

fixed for accuracy.

[hey]

fixed for outright lies.

fixed for accuracy.

[Ksandra]

fixed for accuracy.

show me where the data shows that they are related outside of one going up and the other going down. Which is what I stated.

[hey]

Page 10, 20, and 21.

[Ksandra]

Page 10,

LOL all it says is "smarter countries tend to use less spanking, therefore spanking = less IQ"

See my brown eyes example above.

20,

look guys, poor countries with less access to info have less IQs

and 21.

teenagers, which we've said is too old for this.


Might want to actually try and defend the study instead of throwing out page numbers that mean absolute dick.

[hey]

LOL all it says is "smarter countries tend to use less spanking, therefore spanking = less IQ"

Yeah, and that is all i have taken from it. Are you trying to say correlations are entirely meaningless? If you bothered to even read my posts, i've already said the conclusions were "dubious at best". The only thing i am defending is the data.

If you want to actually read my posts, and argue something that i haven't already argued against myself, then i'm up for that, otherwise i have no idea wtf you're even doing.

So you agree then that my correcting wasn't "lies" as you put it.

[Chun Liroy]

Getting manhandled by ksandra is pretty bad, Hey.

[hey]

So you agree then that my correcting wasn't "lies" as you put it.

No?

If you're not even going to read my posts, i won't continue responding to you.

[Ksandra]

No?

If you're not even going to read my posts, i won't continue responding to you.

what posts?

All I stated was the study just shows that spankings went down and IQs went up without anything to suggest they're related.

You then stated that was a lie.

I asked for proof of my statement being a lie.

You posted some page numbers that doesn't disprove my point that they only stated one went up and the other went down without showing how those must be related, which I pointed out.

Then you tried to saying you aren't disagreeing with me.

I don't care about pages of text from you, my only beef was you claiming my statement was a lie, and then couldn't back it up (then saying it wasn't a lie...lol ).

He tested the kid's IQ who were being spanked and came back to them 4 years later, and found they fell behind in cognitive abilities.

[guartz]

Did you guys even click the link I provided? The study was pretty clear to me, written in laymens.

[guartz]

providing more direct link because inevitable "post proof"

and we're saying that doesn't prove anything.
