I dunno, most of the kids who seemed smart in my highschool did well on the SATs, and the kids who seemed like morons did poorly. I dont see what parental income had to do with it since my highscool was public. I feel like i have average intelligence and i did average on it. I took an SAT class and studied a bit and raised my score by 60 points, still got a pretty average score.
As for the Ivy league thing, the smartest person I know went to Harvard. Are we arguing that in general people who go to Ivy league AREN'T smarter than those who don't? Then i'm siding with Mr. Turtles here.
just my anecdotal 2 cents

That's really all I'm saying. And I wasn't even saying that, to begin. Someone claimed that all celebratory emotion directed at Osama's death is based on being uneducated. My point was only that I'm both educated and happy that he's dead. That's it. At some point in the thread, it apparently became necessary to be educated to have a legitimate opinion on the subject. So I was providing my qualification.
At that point, someone felt the need to tell me that attending an Ivy League college has, and I quote, "nothing to do with intelligence" -- which, of course, is false. Cue anger.
