  ]....then- maybe- the top 5 most intelligent countries (cities) in the world are because they are of high GDP and high standards of living?  But why are those the 5 Oriental countries/city states with the highest GDP and standard of living??:confused:     because they have been 'magically touched by White people'    Well, there is your answer. :D     maybe it's living conditions that make IQ's higher?     Certainly is a factor I should think.    But of course, we don't take IQ test's too seriously- but everyone else does    Higher IQ or not, it was Whites who invented telephones, automobiles, trains, plains, helicopters, computers, internet, satellites, rocket ships, guns, tanks, battle ships, submarines, television, skyscrapers/high rise buildings, discovered electricity, indoor plumbing, the WHEEL. It is Whites who industrialized/modernized(Whitenized) Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan and are the reason they are so successful today. So you see, if the Orientals IQs are really higher, what does it really matter? That's why I don't take the IQ test seriously.:cool: But I'm not trying to insult the Orientals I have alot of respect for them, I just always call em' like I see em' as the saying goes.[/quote]
