Wow, I couldn't disagree more. Not everyone lucks into brains, and the average IQ in America is 100. That's 20 points above retarded.
just to tag in here because I have a bachelors in this shit--
IQ ratings are based comparing one's test score vs the average. A score of 100 is average. By definition, the average person has an IQ of 100. That's how they're designed. If we, as a culture, all ate paint chips or took smart pills, the average IQ would always remain 100.
also I don't think we're talking about people who are "born stupid" (whatever that means) - I thought we were talking about people who CHOOSE to be stupid and uninformed.
