I'm not sure that's correct; see here for a global Q distribution chart. As one might expect given the cultural and racial diversity of the US, the average IQ is ~100, according to that 2006 data.

Excellent perspective there, far too many environmentalists and 'green' fanatics are very confused about these issues.

new games released via the virtual console. If the guy who submitted it had read the commentary on the Ars story, he would known that this is not correct. They have not yet come out with the price, japanese or otherwise, for the older games.
That makes sense, until you think about what you mean by saying, "if we are wrong". What determines if we are wrong? In the secular society we are in, the majority decides. The whole thing just becomes a farce when you think about what would constitute "being wrong and committing mass murder.", for all it would take is a majority vote, and look, you're a mass murderer! It may not be a popular thing to say, but without a higher athority on which to base your beliefs, you are just being irrational by even having morals at all.
Your argument makes a lot more sense if being argued when you already assume there is a higher power who "sets the rules".
I actually think that your argument makes a lot of sense, and is what I believe, but I don't think it makes sense at all in a secular setting.
