1 fourth of the population is retarded--does this help us or deter us?

Well this question seems to attract well over 25% retards.

I'm assuming the quote is meant to be a joke, but actually, it would be very surprising to find out that 50% of children are of below average intelligence. This would imply that the arithmetic mean of children's intelligence was identically equal to the median, an unusual observation.

It is because half of the population is complete idiots.

I believe that the world has a set limit on the amount of intelligence that there is available.  The problem is there are more and more people to spread it around to and some people are not waiting in line to get theirs at all.

What do you consider normal? Anyone who is just like you? Do you think God placed handicapped people on this earth to benefit themselves? Probably not, many have rough lives. So, that means they are here to help us. To help us to learn to have compassion. \n\nIt's not our place to decide if someone has worth or value. We can do our part to help the handicapped, and it will actually help us. Our lives will be much "fuller" when we are helping others.

Because we're also the only beings that use less than ten percent of our brains! Even the most intelligent human is a serious waste of potential.

If you have a disabled child, as I do, you can appreciate this act. Some public school systems don't provide a proper education for disabled children. This has helped in solving this problem.

I think that people are retarded because of problems with their genetics, or because of bad choices mothers make while pregnant.  \nOriginally, when man was first created, there was no sin in the world and everything was perfect (spiritually, physically and genetically)  When sin entered the world, through the choices of original man) that began a downward slide (spiritually, physically, genetically) that we are continuing to feel the effects of today.   I hope I answered your question, if not, maybe read The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel, maybe that'll help

First of all, not all mentally retarded people produce children with mental retardation.  \n\nIf the person is disabled to the point where they can't take care of themselves, I say no, they shouldn't have children.  If the person is mildly retarded it's a different story.  \n\nI generally don't believe in disallowing the right to reproduce, but if the child can not possibly be taken care of without constant outside help, I have to say that it is extremely unfair to the kids.  If the parents decide to put the child up for adoption, I'm in favor of it.  If they plan on keeping children they can't care for due to their disability, then no.  I know that sounds awful, but I'm talking about severe disability only.

OK now lets get a question from somebody who is not a total retard.\n\nyes you in the blue?

Oh boy! infowars WoW. Do you trust the tea leaves in your Kool Aid too? With all do respect, there IS no cure for stupid. Ignorant, uneducated, undereducated, and ill-informed can all be cured, but not stupid. The facts just get in the way.\n\nAnd for the benefit of the above, that was the problem then. The 60's generation, and now we suffer the single parent syndrome.

IQ is not a requirement - \nand voters prefer the mentally disabled candidates

You are going to have to define your terms 'target population' versus overall society. I think if passed it would harden class lines, reduce services (including education) thereby reducing upward mobility, create a larger impoverished class, and would increase social tensions and resentments immeasurably.\n\nI am not sure if that addresses your question.

There are not thousands of poor, illiterate children in India. There are millions. India is a huge country full of poverty and injustice. There is no way to super-quick fix that place up. Just so you know, they are agricultrually self-sufficient. This means that India grows enough food so that everyone there can get enough to eat. The problem is that it gets held in these store houses and never gets to the people that are starving. The best way to help India is to invest money in companies that are working at building up its infrastructure. That's my opinion, anyway. If you give money to its government, that is really bad, because most people over there in government are really corrupt. If you want, do a little research on the socio-economic history of India. I learned a lot and am really excited about it.

at least retards have an excuse for being ignorant. most religious people are not technically retarded. they're just not thinking very much.
