I do not say that every high IQ people always go dealing with weird stuffs; I just say that they tend to do so more than people with normal IQ.

I love how he tried convince people to vote for him because he was in a POW camp for 5 years. Yer, cause being a POW for 5 years does a lot for your emotional and mental stability.

And I'm saying you're saying stupid things. Just because you used the term "tend to" doesn't mean I don't see how you tried to link it into the 37% in the IQ area, intelligent or stupid convo post from before.
Smart or stupid, you probably can get people to like movies. If they like the same ones, they can talk. But a guy vs girl, one might like action and one might like chick flicks.
I'm saying there's more discrepancy within the IQ range than there is across it. You're just being an idiot and trying to latch onto a statistic and a "huhu american stupid people" chant.

Yup, you also learn great leadership / governing skills there (I hear at least) ^.^
EDIT: (Directed to fohfoh) I've learned a while ago to simply ignore whatever Darkjedi says... as most of his thoughts and opinions are derived from ignorance.

Or maybe you are interpreting my words wrongly.
This is a forgone conclusion. People with high IQ does tend to move onto more difficult interests; for example, if we say 40% of people with normal intelligence holds an inherent interest in Einstein's theories, a higher percentage among the higher IQ people starts to hold an inherent interest in Einstein's theories also. There are two reasons for this; one, high-IQ people simply has more intellectual capacity to accommodate such a difficult subject like quantum mechanics. I'm not saying normal-IQ people are not smart enough to understand it, but high-IQ people inherently are more capable. Two, high-IQ people usually end up with higher quality of living and standard of life. They tend to be more successful than their more normal brethren in life, but not always. And they always aim higher (usually beyond the necessary) using their greater amount of resources because that is inherently programmed into our survival instinct.

Yes, I know they can. I know both highly intelligent and highly stupid people are capable of holding the same interest as normal people. I'm just saying it tends to be more difficult than relating with people with the 'status quo' intelligence. I do not say that it's impossible.

And maybe you already think I don't know the obvious things you are pointing out to me? Do you think I think Americans are stupid just for not knowing the answers to the questions in the video? Tbh, I voted 'no' in the poll.
