I hope you aren't serious on that. If you actually look around you can see that in everyday life. I see kids that act all dumb and stuff. When you look at their parents they are the same way. I also know kids that work hard and are smart. So are their parents. There are always exceptions, but I am talking the majority.

[karragh]

To state the majority you have to know 50.00000000000001 percent of the kids in the world.

It has been proven by genetics that parents intelligence is not past on too future generations. You aren't gonig to argue with genetics are you?

I suppose you believe in phrenology too......

I'm not argueing with genetics here. I am stating that the parents have a large influence on childrens lives. That is pretty much a proven fact. Most children act like their parents because that is how they were raised.

Oh well in that case the solution isn't too staralize the parents, the solution is too either have a tutor come in and help raise the child for an hour every day or to adobt the kids off.

There's something flawed with your argument. Because the success of the child should be accredited to good parenting and not smart parents. There are many very intelligent people who do not pass it on. You could argue that a good parent is intelligent, but there is not that necessary link.

I am speaking of generalizations. I am saying though that most stupid ppl do make bad parents.

That is very false. I know many stupid people that are good parents. I also know very many intelligent people that are horrible parents.

I find this argument to be elitist. Who are we to judge how "stupid" and "intelligent" people are? It's all arbitrary. after all.

The more you post these stories xosmi, the more I start to hate mankind.

Meh. I don't feel ashamed over humanity after I talk to WingZer0 for more than 10 secs... Anyway, it's not like this is the first time any of this has happened, nor is it the last time it will happen... People suck, I've been saying so all along.
