The average IQ in Thailand is 89
Not really. It works a bit different: IQ tests are scored relative to a set of people who are supposed to statistically represent the nation where the test will be used. The test is designed to produce a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation of 15. The mean is defined as IQ 100. Half of the normal people (those not suffering from mental diseases) have IQs above 100 and the other half are below 100. IQ = (15 x z-score) + 100, where the z-score is relative to age peers. Each nation does this, so the tests from a dull nation will still show the average score as 100 and bright nations will also show the mean as 100. In order to compare nations, all test scores must be adjusted to one standard. The one used is the Greenwich IQ Standard (white British). After the conversion, we can compare all nations. Doing that shows the mean IQ for the world is 84. So, on the basis of the full world population, a person with a Greenwich IQ Standard IQ of 100 would be 16 IQ points above the world mean. -

Can those public Reverse Osmosis Water Filters be trusted?
An inflammatory post has been removed. A post in violation of the fair use policy has been removed: 27. You will not post any copyrighted material except as fair use laws apply (as in the case of news articles). Only post a link, the headline and three sentences from the article. Content in the public domain is limited to the same restrictions. -

US inflation
Are you hoping for 0% or maybe -1% Inflation doesn't drop due to good economic policies, it also drops because demand decreases. After all, increased demand is what drives inflation. But once people become a bit concerned about making major or unnecessary purchases, demand drops and so does the rate of inflation - until a recession hits, and then it can be stagflation (like Japan went through for a decade - no one buys and the prices drop - which is why it seems so 'cheap' these days to visit). Many Western economists and business leaders for years have been quoted as saying they are most comfortable with 'slow steady growth' - and point to 3-3.5% as their comfort zone. -

Israel's nuclear capability
I said a tactical nuke and only to take out the Fordow facility. This would not kill "massive amounts of civilians". The fact remains though that MOP's might not be enough to get the job done and that job is the total destruction of the Fordow facility. -

Israel's nuclear capability
Common sense mate. If Israel continue bombing Iran, someone else might. Iran has billions of supporters. Israel must stop NOW. Most Israelis are good people, they got to elect a PM who is for a two state solution and equal rights for Israeli Arabs.
