Bin Laden's dead

[Spud]

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.

The correlation between parental income and SAT score is much more formidable than that between IQ test score and SAT score.

As to the morality of being a lawyer, whatever. If you don't want to be one, don't be one. But if you ever get wrongfully arrested or sued, I suggest you hire one.

Sure thing pal I'll call you up if I ever need a judge bribed out of a no-victim drug charge. Since I casually decided I just "don't want to be" a member of the most disgraceful bottomfeeding shitheeled part of our broken justice system when I was planning my life, I guess I have no choice but to be grateful there are evil cunts like you out there to take Ivy League opportunity and transmute it into another piece of the State.

It's actually not. The correlation between SAT score and the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is 0.86. The correlation between SAT score and Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices is 0.72. The correlation between SAT score and Mill Hill Vocabulary Scales is 0.68 for combined SAT score, 0.71 for Verbal SAT score.

In the link you posted, the correlation between parental income and SAT score is projected between 0.25 and 0.40.

Jesus. Bitter much? If you hate everyone with a law degree, you've got a pretty long list.

And if you've got a problem with the State, move. I hear the laws in Angola are pretty lax.
