we have kids living on the streets turning to prositution thinking its the only way for them to bring themselves up when Paris and Richie areliving in the lap of luxery.what is wrong with the US?

Answer 1

People with lower IQ's have more children. With the advent of birth control, intelligent people could greatly reduce the number of children they have and increase their quality of life. Lower IQ people breed like rabbits. Even the most liberal among us agree that at least a portion of intelligence is hereditary. Take the g-factor for instance. It is analogous to the clock speed of your CPU (computer). The faster the clock speed, the more calculations your computer can do. Since some people have neurons and nerves that fire faster, and that is hereditary, intelligence is therefore hereditary. Since higher IQ people have a lower birth rate than lower IQ people, we are breeding intelligence out of the human race.

Answer 2

Americans are very spoiled (including me).  We see it, we get it even if we can't afford it.  The gas crunch will surely change the way many of us live.  We may still want but we will not be able to get it.  I wonder what America will be like in a few years from now?

Answer 3

You can't really argue the athletes. It's a rare job, and you get endorsed out the ***. They're just like actors. They have a role and a dangerous job being a celebrity. Also, a simple injury can put an athlete out of the job.
