Jason Bourne 11 #5 Posted January 9, 2014 Wow, 50 scalded out of a population of 320 million. HOW MUCH?!?!?! I may be of limited intelligence, but the last time I checked, which was a few years ago now, the population was only 300 million. And the last time I checked before that (about a decade ago) it was 250 million. I thought GW Bush Inc closed them borders between Texas and Mexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

erebus 10 #7 Posted January 9, 2014 Well in the race to the bottom, in education is it seems a fight to hold onto such a prize, and we in the UK and the US can be proud of having won such a prize http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/going-backwards-uk-literacy-and-numeracy-standards-slip-down-international-rankings-8979588.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Magilla 510 #9 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I may be of limited intelligence, but the last time I checked, which was a few years ago now, the population was only 300 million. In 2012 it was 313.9 million. Extrapolate based on previous years & round to nearest 10 million. And the last time I checked before that (about a decade ago) it was 250 million. It was ~250m in 1990.

Need i say anymore?:hihi: How does this prove it? Americans aren't stupid, but I get the impression you haven't met many. There's some stupid people in the USA, but that's the same as here. Here, look at a list of IQ by country - http://www.photius.com/rankings/national_iq_scores_country_ranks.html The USA ranks=9 whilst we are slightly above at =7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
