Don't know if the above linked worked correctly but these kind of Scotsmen really don't do themselves any favour's??

Obviously he has no idea that there are also jocks getting blown up and killed in Afghan aswell, the chap really should educate himself..... don't normally start threads on here but just really angry that a member of the British Public can have these opinions, btw this is his profile feel free to leave him a message if it makes you as angry as it does me!!

The world is full of morons, Facebook and the internet just gives them a platform to share their rantings with the wider world.

Facebook, giving stupid people a voice since 2004.



Edit: related to this I saw on the news a story about a female soldier killed defusing bombs in Afghanistan. Jesus, that job must demand the biggest balls in the world. Just the thought of having my face close to a device that could blow bits of me into the clouds makes my spine chill.

I was under the impression more Scotish young men join than English as a percentage of respective populations.

In fact I thought it was something most Scots were proud of.


This guy is an idiot.

Most of us are very much so, but like everywhere we have our share of well below average intelligence individuals, given that average IQ isn't that high (104.2 for the UK) and half the population are below that figure, there are an awful lot of numbskulls wandering around, a surprisingly large number have managed to work facebook and twitter.

Was listening to that earlier. Defusing one IED when another exploded. Retreated, and decided to go back in and got caught by a third.

She was more of a man than every keyboard warrior on the planet combined.

Not quite correct as, if you give it a bit of thought, will become clear.

Actually Derek, he is correct. Which, if you give this a bit of a read, will become clear...

There are a nunber of ways to show the statement is incorrect. Let us stick to a simple one as I think simple is seriously underrated as a way of proving stuff.

For it to be so then no one can have 104.2. That much is obvious. However, given the number of people in the world it is statistically certain that a considerable number of people will have that precise figure of IQ.

100 people, two of whom who have 104.2 IQ, 49% below average.

There are other ways in which you can prove the statement wrong.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are gibbering on about. You posted something which clearly intimated that the poster should have said the average IQ is 100, you've been proved wrong and now you are trying to wriggle out of it. Derek, I know you have lived a perfect life, but it is OK to be wrong every now and again.
