I liked the trippy effects and pink floyd.
Also this is a big reason why I live in a small, innovative town and don't have TV.
the fun part about this video is that if you show it to 100 people, only 2 will believe it
IQ is dictated by genes mostly..
so I guess america has a shitty gene pool if this is true.

As far as what I've learned IQ is mainly determined by everything that happens in childhood (And Genes). And I'm pretty sure cramming ads and other things of the such down peoples throats contributes to that too.

no IQ is genes.
What you use your IQ for is whats determined by environment.
IQ is a quantative term.
Quality is really the issue.
Bah I always hated genetics anyways.
Intelligence doesn't matter if you don't use it. I don't think the problem in america is I.Q. or ability. Ask someone what they believe about a subject and they'll tell you how they [i]feel[/i]. Ask someone about something that isn't relevant to them or their short term interests and they won't know the answer. Nobody thinks because nobody has to.
We're an over-emotional, spoon fed culture.
Wow, 2:50 to 3:03 - they tried to snowjob the guy into not being heard.
Overall, the dumbing down has multiple causes. Saying it's just chemicals is a limited perspective. Yes, there are pharmaceuticals in the water supply, toxins in the air of every urban environment and an over-medicated population, but there's more to it than just that.
Any complex system can give rise to emergent behaviors and properties that could be detrimental and/or unexpected. At the highest levels, we see that in banks colluding with governments (read: owning). On more local notes, people get absorbed in debates surrounding abortion or gay rights - things that mean virtually nothing to the banking/ruling elite.
In all, everyone is looking to further their own interests, needs and desires, from the janitor to the corporate executive. It's these differences and dissociations that create eddies of culture. These then grow to self-supporting proportions which may be spawned from a commonly originating society, but fractionalize it with each successive generation (each of the sciences develop their own language, as do economists, farmers, musicians, etc).
The banking elite, with government as its tool, seeks to protect itself from discovery while maximizing its power base. This is the same with anyone, but the banks have a particularly centralized (and therefore easy) way of making that happen. It should be no surprise that the segment of a population which devotes itself to controlling the power base would use any method available in order to continue the scheme.
In a sick twist, the people who realize bits and pieces of what's going on petition the very institution of government that the banking elite have complete control over. What do you think is going to happen? The government certainly won't bite the hand that feeds it until its caught in a situation it can't win. Then gov't will do just as an individual would: protect itself and lash out at any threats, real or perceived.
This will all result in a situation worse than what's going on in Egypt right now, and without a clear path and society-wide comprehension of a definite goal, there will be blood in the streets. Yet another cycle of civilization will take place, once more with self-destructive tendencies.
Maybe next time they'll learn before it's too late.
There is no link between vaccines and autism. I would just like to put it out there that the man who said so is a fraud and has been publicly humiliated and has no standing in the medical world.
I disagree. The vaccine argument still holds water, and it did not start from that man.
Thimerosal is still used in some flu vaccines, and it does contain mercury. no matter how small the amount, the mercury will kill some cells somewhere in your body. It's a game of Russian roulette of whether it affect the area of the brain or not. It's ignorant to say that Thimerosal can ever be totally safe. Mercury isn't something you can treat or mold into something harmless.
This youtube video title is ironic as fuck.
And if this is all true, I feel damn good my parents were too poor to vaccinate me for such things and that I drink out of a well.

My family was too stupid to take me to take me to a doctor or dentist for 5 years. The first time I went to a dentist was a month and a half ago and they spent thousands of dollars on me. Before that, a year ago I had a few infections that I need antibiotics for.

A person could be born with an IQ of 200, but if improperly nurtured will grow up to have an effective IQ of 100.
I'm seeing a lot of assertions without any proper backing. How could these people know IQs are going down in America when the Stanford-Binet test and Wechsler Adult Intelligence tests, by far the most commonly taken tests, are weighted to have a mode of 100 and a normal distribution? How could you even prove a trend like that?
The increase in diagnoses of autism stem from a number of factors, key ones being that it's classification standards are more broad and its relative scientific attention increased, which makes it far more likely for a doctor to notice the symptoms and diagnose accordingly.
There isn't a single valid study that I can find that shows Thiomersal intake as having significant correlation with autism, much less causation. Some studies show a [url=http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/112/3/604]slight negative[/url] correlation, some a [url=http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/290/13/1763.abstract]very slight positive[/url], which lends credibility to the idea that there [url=http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=autism+and+thimerosal+studies&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart][I]isn't a link[/I][/url].

I could see the frequency of outliers being fingered as the reason. Of course, outliers being outliers, the statistical significance of that would still probably be negligible.
Interesting links, thanks for sharing.

I assume that the poisonous content in fluoride is meant to kill germs in the mouth?

It binds to the enamel in your teeth, preventing decay. There are other effects as well.

Ah, the fluoride conspiracy theory.
I know a kid who believes in that. Or at least he used to, then he matured a little, [i]or maybe the fluoride got to him![/i]
Nah. This video be crazy. Just sit back, relax and drink your delicious tap water. Also, it's the middle of winter, have you had your flu shot yet?
Wow that woman at 1:40 is fucking retarded.

Wat
Technically people are getting smarter. Even in America. They even have to adjust the IQ thing so that way the new norm is 100

AFAIK the norm has been 110 for a few decades.
Retarded conspiracy nonsense. Fluoride is a toxin in high concentrations but hey guess what SO IS ANYTHING ELSE.
Is this a joke?

I beg to differ: hot 18-year old girls who don't talk.
I rest my case.
