The black people and the white people are equally stupid and backwards yet still hate each other despite having more in common with each other than anyone else. Being intellectual makes you a pariah of society who will not have any friends. Need I provide you more to read about Mississippi?
No, but you need to read more yourself. I doubt you will, however since you have made it abundantly clear that you are not interested in actually learning anything, but wish to stay comfortably esconsed behind your preconceptions about the state.

Regarding IQs, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont are at the high end, and California, Louisiana, and Mississippi are at the low end.

Link please - or at least some citation to a study that I can read to verify your claim? A claim which by the way, has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand even if it happens to be true.

You are citing a study that correlates infectious disease with geographical IQ levels as ammunition in a thread about attitudes towards LGBT lifestyles?

Conversely, you never hear a left winger say a negative word about a muslim....or what is done to gays in the middle east...or to women for that matter. No....in the left wingers myopic viewpoint, on Christians should be attacked.

I find all of that very telling of the mindset of the average liberal. Generally speaking, liberals are 'tolerant' as long as your view mirrors theirs. If not...you are a loser...a nazi....a bigot...a homophobe....etc.

To me, that is why I generally pay no attention to the opinions of left wingers. To me, they are the most narrow minded people on the face of the Earth. Not to mention....their ideology is mainly what has this country in the horrible mess we find ourselves in.
YES!!!! It always amazes me that the most 'open minded' people are only that way when it agrees with THEIR beliefs.
