You are conflating IQ with criminality. These people live and exist and breathe and eat and occupy space. Where are you going to put all the bodies when you're done?
- aslkfjhskjfhadk 8y agoPlease take my comment within the context of the comment I was replying to. >You can argue that inequality is necessary to create incentives. I don't personally believe that's true, but I understand the argument as a reasonable moral position. But to argue that some people are morally worth more than others is to discard the very notion of human equality. This statement is a twisted idea of equality. People are born equal but they do not remain equal. A doctor is not equal to wife beater.

I never suggested > Lower than average intelligence does not cause people to become "wife beaters"
- facetube 8y agoYou said it twice. This is what lack of emotional intelligence looks like. If you can't figure out how what you typed could be interpreted in this way by others, I feel very badly for you.
- asfjfjjend 8y agoQuote me where I said it? I never intended to say that and rereading my comments I can see that I did not say it. >This is what lack of emotional intelligence looks like. If you can't figure out how what you typed could be interpreted in this way by others, I feel very badly for you. I wonder if you can understand the irony of you mocking me for my supposed lack of emotional intelligence.

- stcredzero 8y agoYou are conflating IQ with criminality. IIRC, there is a high correlation with those who get caught in certain kinds of crime and IQ.
