    And I originally referred to the scientific basis for IQ. You aren't ignorant you're just dumb, or evil i.e. a cultural Marxist.

    "you need to perform a scientific study. Have you done so?"

    No, but thousands of cognitive psychologists have. Their overwhelming conclusion? That IQ as a valid measure of mental acuity exists and on top of that, a majority of it is heritable.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and only assume that you are merely ignorant.

    if you are young and a conservative you have no heart and that if you are old and a liberal you have no brain.

    I might add that mothers are far more conservative politically than single unmarried women.

    LISP isn't going away. In fact there are new dialects being invented all the time. I prefer an interpreted LISP 1.5 like newLISP.

    Being gay is not wrong; it's merely disgusting. And Sean Hannity is an authoritarian lackey of the establishment who presents a false faux "conservative" honey trap to whites.
