Horrible. I just hope that some people here will realize that IQ has very little (nothing) to do with this.

This is a very serious issue. noting that, i would like to commend the author of this article. I would also be very happy to hear from the author through this email:everythingafrican@googlemail.com, as i would like to discuss a project with the author.

SOMEONE (someone other than one of their members) needs to go in and help out these arguably retarded animals....<br />they aren&#39;t stupid people. they just do not have the resources to attain the knowledge to know how damaging something like this would be to a child and how pointless it is. <br /><br />and no, most of the arguments against the foundation of IQ tests are usually epistemological arguments as well as the objectivity of the questions on these tests. to me, thats far from &quot;Handwavy&quot;. <br /><br />http://www.elephantchronicles-nell.blogspot.comNellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-32080065751053343942010-07-26T23:23:53.000-04:002010-07-26T23:23:53.000-04:00&lt;span&gt;Notice that I make no claims as to their &lt;span&gt;potential to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;acquire&lt;/span&gt; knowledge. I sincerely hope that all humans have the same potential for intellect, though I am uncertain as to whether this has been established beyond doubt. I am only making a claim about their average &lt;span&gt;current&lt;/span&gt; IQ, which, for whatever reason you might wish to propose, is pretty much abysmal and I think indisputably the cause of idiotic behavior like &quot;breast ironing&quot; of children. &lt;/span&gt;<br /><br />&lt;span&gt;I&#39;ve never really been convinced by the reactionary, handwavy arguments that IQ &quot;is just some made up thing that doesn&#39;t mean anything&quot;; it may not mean as much as some people like to claim, but it correlates HIGHLY with all the other factors one would expect such a measure to do if it were measuring a substantive quality of human cognition (eg. educational attainment, wage earnings, inversely WRT religiosity, etc.).&lt;/span&gt;Blakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-72366782280439973482010-07-26T22:47:23.000-04:002010-07-26T22:47:23.000-04:00i think it&#39;s been shown that IQ tests are really just modernity tests. there is no real test for intelligence because intelligence is a human concept and not something that can be truly measured in a test or in a lab. <br />cameroonians have as much capacity for learning as you do, they simply do not have the resources to acquire the knowledge you and i have in the methods we have obtained it. <br /><br /><br />and to the others that have commented-get off your high horses. you all, again, have no higher capacity for knowledge than the average Cameroonian. the issue here, is not that they are all stupid idiots, as you all seem to think, it is the level of poverty at which Cameroon stands stagnant, which then lowers the level of education. <br /><br />really, i would have expected more intelligent comments from atheists. <br /><br />http://www.elephantchronicles-nell.blogspot.comNellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-81936293030053466012010-07-26T21:23:12.000-04:002010-07-26T21:23:12.000-04:00WTF - why can someone put some sense in these idiots?Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-34636445472368197792010-07-25T06:58:31.000-04:002010-07-25T06:58:31.000-04:00Why do I fear the &quot;Graphic Content&quot; is due to the pictures of breasts rather than than the mutilation?Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-32317823121921337802010-07-25T04:05:51.000-04:002010-07-25T04:05:51.000-04:00The average IQ for Cameroonians <a href="http://books.google.com/books?ei=nOtLTPnjMoH58AbZkoUz&amp;ct=book-thumbnail&amp;id=rA8RAQAAIAAJ&amp;dq=IQ+and+Global+Inequality.&amp;q=cameroon" rel="nofollow">is 64</a>. 70 is considered the cutoff point for mental retardation.
