Neither do their followers who put Jobbs on a giant pedistal.

American's don't give a shit how our shit is made. Just that we get the shit.

I'm sure the fuckers who got their head chopped off weren't some innocent bystander and would have probably done the same to the other gang.

Well that's pretty fucked up.

So in your view, it's difficult to be above-average? Even considering how lame the average is?

In my view, a lot of average people look at the lowest common denominator in society, decide that THAT is the average and then claim to be above average.

I'll give you that.

However, when I took an IQ test several years ago, it was something like 125 or 126, and while I realize that certainly isn't genius level, it's still above average. Also I have a grad degree And yes I know education <> intelligence

So let's say you have a choice of 2 people to buy pot from. One is a regular citizen down the street. The other is an illegal alien, who, especially if he's from "down south", is more likely to be connected to, or at least feeding profits to, violent gangs.

But let's say he's not. Let's say he has no connection at all with the people committing all the murders in Mexico.

Fine, except that many illegal aliens send a substantial portion of their earnings back home to support family members. Taking it out of our economy. In fact many have no intention of staying here more than a couple years. This idea of the average illegal alien being some kind of saint who wants to stay here permanently and put his nose to the grindstone getting an education and climbing the ladder in his line of work is hogwash. That is true only for a minority of them, IMO.

Sometimes it is depressing when I think that 1 of every 2 people I meet is below average
