    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    Lol. Yes...to a certain extent we are all offering some kind of service here and expect the same. I see that once pointed out you do have more to offer. That makes for a lot better experience here.

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    I think I've made it readily apparent what I'm in favor of. I would have to have more information on what you are referring to when you say "intelligence". I think a certain amount of intelligence in the right kinds of aptitudes are necessary in any occupation where some kind of successful...

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    Oh I'm sure it was to your advantage whether you acknowledge it or not. I would like to ask though...why have you taken so many IQ tests? Do you simply enjoy them or are you interested in tracking how steadfast your IQ is throughout the years or...?

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    Awe come on. You shouldn't be so dismissive when you offer no meat in your rebuttal for us "others" to chew on.

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    Newer IQ tests much less so. But with older tests, those that include specific mathematical and scientific aptitudes, it most certainly is to your advantage, especially in linguistic and vocabulary aptitude assessments to be very well read. A well read person is a very good indicator of that...

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    Couple of considerations. 1) you don't know what is motivating the cops actions. (Perhaps the cop is aware of impending danger or other police actions which you would be impeding) 2) The cop don't know if your simply lying in order to continue loitering when loitering is perhaps not a good thing...

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    What do you mean by book smartness? General knowledge?

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    That was my point. The problem may not be how "whatever" is measured. The problem may be what is being measured. Intelligence tests are only relatively recently recognizing and attempting to quantify different "types" of intelligences in people. My guess is the article is referring to a...

    Why Are So Many Cops Dumb?

    What kind of IQ test is this? What is it testing for? General intelligence? If so one might score low in certain areas while extremely high in others which would put the overall score somewhere in between those extremes. So we should ask which intelligences are more important in police work than...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    Well then by Gods good grace it most certainly must be if you've given it the okay.;) Wonderful! We've come to an agreement on some things. Couple of things here....how much significance do you think the idea of a superhero carries? And hopefully you don't think that since humans have been...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    Not at all. Used to be strangers could gather together for good conversation, comradery, and ,resolution of disagreements without fear of being unwelcome, insulted, or even injured. Sadly in much of society its seems this isn't so anymore. I welcome devils advocates. Understanding is rarely...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    Hey F1fan, don't be sorry, just have some "class" and don't be rude. :grinning: Hmmm...where to begin, I've got so many thoughts but dang if what time can be allotted to this is never enough. I do love that you've given me things to think about...fun fun. I'm only going to shoot out one reply to...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    Setting aside the obvious differences in ontological class between the two beings - Santa Claus and God - you might consider the fact that the contemporary character we've come to know as Santa Claus in his many cultural variations is based upon an actual person who lived in an actual time and...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    No suspicion necessary. Many atheists seem to attempt to assure that there will be confusion. Here is an example of creating obfuscation of an issue - perhaps unintentionally. Taking a premise for granted does not automatically isolate oneself from having any belief on the matter. Nor does it...

    You've just concisely summed up the near entirety of human understanding.

    Atheists: does God exist?

    We can equivocate tell heck wont have it on what atheism is. We might look up the entomology of the word and see that originally the word literally means "without god" or "godless". That my friend is not a deferral of belief. That is a testament of belief. A deferral of belief would be akin to...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    I'm suggesting that often atheists don't seem to realize what the position of being atheist actually entails. I don't think so, one can certainly take up a particular position concerning a particular subject but taking any particular position on a subject entails having some sort of belief...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    If the responses on here are from actual atheists I'm very surprised since most engagements I have had with the professed atheists on these forums have inadvertently resulted in their insisting they have no beliefs concerning Gods existence. If you have no belief concerning a subject then you...
