Had that argument before, Lamont.
IQ scores are set/defined as a statistically normal Bell curve, with 15 points per standard deviation and the median set at the mean of 100, so actually they are pretty near perfect, as the scoring is crafted to be as such.

And the average lifespan is getting longer which seems to invalidate the correlation between age and wisdom.

yeah, i don't think you see what i am really saying...... kinda like when i say 90% of humanity is in the bottom 10% of humanity.....

is that like the pareto rule?

Tony B wrote: Hmmm. I'm wondering where I stated that, but I can quote where you did. I'm also wondering if you understand what 'pseudo' means, or if perhaps you know the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist? No less, neither seems particularly relevant here unless we go back to your psychobabble about ego that started the exchange, which would be psychology, not psychiatry, unless you were attempting to prescribe a medication... But I digress. People who use big words that they do not understand are given to making mistakes like that. The same problem fits well within the definition of arrogance. Now is that an insult, or is it merely an observation of truth? Who cares, at least it pertained to something you actually did do/say. In any case, enjoy. I guess if I "win" the joust, and I'm OK with it. Beats the crap out of "loosing" it. Well, 50% of all people are below average intelligence.

You are the absolute master of the long winded self-congratulatory retort filled with nonsense, you have excelled once again, and I bow to you.

But you still need to tell us what size ball you strap and who you roll as to be real ethical climber, seriously.

How on earth you silly people manage to find the motivation to climb without a ball and mask strapped is beyond me. Every time I see someone climb without a ball and a mask my eyes burn. Everyone should climb like me and appreciate what I do, or I may just start crying, whining, and ethicizing. Maybe I will even call you names like stupid, immature, and arrogant if you continue to disagree. Watch out, I just might do it!

Good. On your knees B^%#$es!
(That will put some variety in this jousting business.)

Your aggressive homosexuality scares me.

You still haven't proved your a real man by disclosing your ball size and mask preference.

Please, before I get on my knees for you I need to know that you are ethically pure. I need to know that your a real man, not some nooby chufflet who can't strap a ball or mask to save his life.

or more like this?

looks like aid me, but I am a noob at these complex ethical debates.

Please advise. I don't want to upset the trad daddy gods and get torn a new one on ST like the retro-bolter-who-shall-not-be-named.

yep, times 10.... and then divided by 11.

actually, i say these things somewhat tongue in cheek. just got back from a great trip to squamish, and i gotta say those canadiens.... like 90% are in the top 10%. they are so nice.

Sorry I scared you. I am not pure at all. Ask my wife.
Or anyone else who actually knows me, for that matter:

I am not put off by closet types and homophobes. I've dealt with rednecks all my life. So I must ask - Ball-mask or ball-gag? What exactly is it that you are used to?

Bring Out the Gimp!

Now, I kind of expect you to RE with a certain other video clip - dude, it's a total soft pitch. Go ahead, you need a win right now.

Oh, and as for your other questions about size and such - no need to speculate. Go into your local 'bookstore' and do some research...
This has been hashed out before and I am pretty comfortable with myself.

Not as played as old trad's arguing ethics using tradition. Now that shit is played.

No need for new material, the only people not getting the argument and getting upset instead of entertained are ego driven tarded troglodytes.

J Q, by your extreme version of this argument, anyone could go anywhere and bolt anything, chop anything, etc. Nothing should be preserved. While we're at it, let's convert Angkor Wat into a Wal-Mart. See how this extremity can go both ways?

I'd love to hear your true opinion, but I suspect you're too scared to step out from your protective veil of irony.
