[T.N.D.]

Throughout the presidential race the left allways screamed how smart Kerry was and how stupid Bush was, well it looks like it aint so.

I could've told you they were probably of roughly equal intelligence.

[stingray]

Well, there is a difference between being lazy and being stupid, even though the academic outcome will be roughly the same. av_biggrin.gif

People go into politics because they can't get a real job. Kinda like professors: those who can - do; those who can't - teach.

Does this really matter any more.

Yeah, Kerry looked like a horse back then as well. I will never understandHow that face caught two rich women.

funny thing is... Grades don't mean anything when gauging intelligence. It is common for 145+ IQ's to get horrible grades in school. BTW 130 is smart. I am in physics and never got a decent grade... had to learn it all hands on, structured classes made no sense to me. Same goes for a lot of people, it's how they act that one can tell!

I agree with the educational system part, we are all different and can't be shoe-horned into one single educational mold and expect all to come out with flying colors. It just doesn't work that way. One size does not fit all. av_wink.gif

On the other hand if you take a physics course in college and all your knowledge comes just from baseball then you won't make the grade. av_biggrin.gif

In college all my physics knowledge came from pool. The upside is that while playing pool I got my organic chemistry knowledge as well... through beer!

/don't ask why it took me 8 years to get a BS
