I've known so many.

I even know a girl who was on Jenny Jones.

It's pretty awful, but the premise consists of a man being frozen for 500 years, only to wake up and find the world inhabited by complete morons, as all of the smart people refused to breed anywhere near as much as the stars of COPS did. Sounds like a horror, doesn't it? I guess it was actually sort of funny. Anyways, my cats and I enjoyed it while we drank our Juicy-Juice and ate Government cheese.

sounds like the premise to "demolition man"

They should seriously consider making a pay TV channel that just plays COPS 24-7. With a recession coming onto full swing, crime rates will climb up so there will never be a shortage of young smartarses that need to be pulled over, tazed, handcuffed and beaten within an inch of their life for not indicating, feeding their cat cheese or something...

But the Government *gave* me that cheese to do with it as I see fit! I have rights! don't i?

You got the right to be on TV.
Its easy, find out when COPS is in your neighbourhood, put bootpolish on your face and fill your pockets with zippy bags full of icing sugar.

INSTANT CELEBRITY!

Seeing as how I'd likely be the first dark-skinned man any cops in my state have ever seen, they'd likely shoot me dead rather than haul me off.

Ive always wondered this about cops-How in the hell can they broadcast these people on tv without them signing a release? It seems like a huge violation of rights, they don't even blur their faces judging from a few episodes I have seen recently.

and I cant stand the useless sting of sending in a hot female cop to offer sexual services for 15 bucks to old men that are trippin on life and are proably in the early stages of dementia. WTF, that is like 2 drinks at the bar. Creating criminals out of nothing is what they are doing.

I often don't here these people's rights being read properly, and even though its fully documented there seems to be no repurcussions at all.

So I'm doomed to have stupid kids? Nooooooooo....

Seriously though, do you have a study supporting this? Two reasons:

a) It seems completely at odds with the idea of "natural selection" and valuable traits being passed on.

b) My own experience says that this is wrong. All the smart kids at school seemed to have intelligent parents too, though I guess that leads towards the whole "nature vs nurture" debate.

I think you misunderstood me. The kids of smart parents will still tend to be smarter than average, they just probably won't be quite as smart as their parents. So if you pair up with a smart woman and have kids, then they'll probably be smart, just not quite as smart as the two of you.

This holds for phenomena other than intelligence, too, like height. If two really tall parents have kids, the kid will probably be taller than the general population, but shorter than the parents. This is because when the genes get shuffled around in mating, the rare combinations that lead to things like extreme height and extreme high or low intelligence don't happen all that often. They're more likely to happen if the parents have an abundance of "smart genes," but still fairly unlikely when you look at the population as a whole.

This is all assuming that intelligence has a heavy genetic component, of course. The smart kids you're talking about were, presumably, raised by their smart parents, growing up in an environment of intelligent conversation and respect for mental pursuits. Who knows how they would have turned out if they had the same set of genes but had been raised by an illiterate mother who thought education was a tool of the devil?

Ahhh, okay. Thanks for explaining. Your last paragraph was what I was saying about nature vs nurture.

Eh, I don't buy into that theory. If your parents have a set of intelligent genes and you don't end up as intelligent as them, then how do you explain the evolution of the human brain? Over millions of years we DID get smarter.

There are occasional big flukes, which is how evolution happens. But human brains haven't changed in the past few hundred thousand years, in spite of the enormous cultural evolution that has happened since then.

True I agree with you on that. It probably won't evolve anymore either considering a lot of stupid people end up with a lot of children today.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as situations when the kids have significantly better nutrition than their parents.
