Way to cherry pick. I also stated that there is no accurate way to measure the IQ of a whole nation and these stats are propbably not accurate. I threw out the first number I came across to make a point. If you can disprove my stat go ahead, genius.
My point being that graduation levels do not equal intelligence. Why doesn't the OP or one of you other esteemed Canadian intellectuals offer some analysis of the stats instead of just spouting "Canada good-USA bad." If Canada graduates the most from college why don't the IQ numbers match? Why doesn't this alleged superior intellect translate into world beating companies, leading universities, scientific discoveries, Nobel prizes or any other metric of your choosing?
The mornic thing in this thread is the relentless Canadian nationalism and inferiority complex.


You know what's truly moronic (and ironic)? The fact you took a comment that was clearly aimed at someone else, misconstrued it as a personal attack, and wasted time writing a rant in response to it.


Clearly for someone else? Actually what's moronic is that you don't know how to use the quote function properly. It's extremely vague who you were addressing.

well, firstly, we know how to correctly spell, moron. Wink secondly, i gotta agree with 12ax7. why are you so sensitive about the issue? your hastened responses to defend your position are ridden with spelling errors and simply poorly written. you do care. i'm not claiming that you're stupid, you are...the sad thing is it's not because you're an American. Shocked

AMERICA!


So now you are pointing out typos? But I'd expect that from someone who obviously in unable to argue on the merits of an issue. Answering the questions I posed should be a breeze for someone of your high intelligence. After all, Canadians are the most educated people in the world. By the way, your multiple capitalization errors trump my one typo, hypocrite.

What the hell are you talking about? I clicked on 'quote' on Couchsurfer's comment, just as I did to yours. It's not my fault if you can't comprehend something that simple.

HYPOCRITE! Shocked how downright insulting!

i will not stoop down to your idiotic level of discourse by crudely dissing Americans with adolescent depraved insults. your questions are obviously nonsensical and poorly written. i find them and you offensive and underlined with contempt for Canada, Israel and Japan.

i don't hate your stupid fag face because i know that i can take you in a streetfight, but i will suggest you seek professional psychiatric advice and avoid firearms and sharp edged objects especially around children for at least the time being. do, also, refrain from reflecting your feelings of inferiority onto me and the other good, healthy living, normal folk on this forum.

rat-con, it may seem just too overwhelming for you to grasp, as you sit there and phonetically read this post out loud, struggling to make sense of the pronunciations you incorrectly utter as the letters and words appear lopsided and upside-down, leaping off your computer screen and darting in every confusing direction, but i'm actually trying to help you, stupid retard. Canadians are good people. Cool

AMERICA!


Thank you for showing all who read this just how stupid you are. Vulgarity and violence are the last refuge of the truly ignorant. Off to the Rocky Mountain Tavern with you to engage in the Canadian Seoulite favorite past time: talking about how much better than they are than the US. Don't forget to discuss the War of 1812. I'm out. Up until your last post I wasn't positive if I was dealing with a twelve year old. Now there is no doubt that I am. To you newbies reading this: Ricochet is about what you can expect intellectually and maturity -wise from many a Canadian living here in Seoul.

Oh, say can you see...

Yes, after weeks of tension on the Korean peninsula, war has finally broken out. But not as anticipated.

O Canada...

Most of the Canadians I've met over the years have been pretty dumb.

It's a follow-the-leader culture. God save the Queen and do what the govt. tells you to do. Initiative-taking and freedom of thought are not respected.

Eh?

The majority of people that I've met in central Seoul, who have been degenerates here for years, are Canadians. I've been around the world a few times over and Canadians abound everywhere... and they generally aren't too bright. Very Happy

The smartest Canadians stay in Canada and do well there. The not-so-bright Canadians, along with some bright ones as well leave because the job market is competitive and it's difficult to pay off student loans.

Care to disprove my theory? You shout the words ignorance and moron. I do not need to resort to name calling.

It does not mean they have less potential, but less has been accomplished. First Nations in Canada have a literacy rate of less than 50%. Mostly due to oral traditions, poor parent role models, remote squallor living conditions, and contempt for 'whitey' education.

Wouldn't South Korea simply destroy USA and Canada if you counted 20-30 years old? 80% or similar?

I score in the top percentile of the IQ scale (real IQ tests, none of those make you feel good tests that you do online), speak four languages, completed my masters degree with distinction, contributed to and mentioned in name in a book that was a national best seller, just got the news that my photography will be showcased in a nationwide exhibition sponsored by the federal government...and I'm a M�tis. Your turn.

Your people are the laughing stock of Canada. Even immigrants from places like Pakistan and Philippines look down on your people.

Not my opinion. A fact.
