MH, I really think we just need a picture of your butt to confirm the comparison.

Some of the most pleasant, self-confident (the opposite of arrogant IMO) people I know are not the ones with whom I would want to discuss deep, complex intellectual issues. Of course, when you get into really low IQ's, you likely start to see a disproportionate amount of psychological problems. But, if you look at the part of the IQ bell curve containing 90% of people, I don't see a correlation. Like I said, I?m merely basing this on my own anecdotal observations. I work with a lot of highly-intelligent people, making pretty high salaries. But even their productivity in the work place, which has some significant correlation to intelligence, is probably more dependant on the person?s character than his or her intelligence. For example, I?ve consistently noticed that attorneys who grew up on farms are some of the most productive and useful I know. It?s because they consistently work through problems until they get the best resolution they possibly can find -- no matter how difficult the process is. That?s just one example. Many people with a non-agrarian background also have great work ethics. But, so many others simply focus on how much credit they think they will get and how they can ?complete? a project the most quickly and painlessly. Invariably, it affects their lives negatively because they are constantly fighting the ill impressions and disorganization their laziness yields. Many of these corner-cutters are very, very intelligent, but also very unproductive and probably fairly unhappy.

If' I put a photo of my rear on here, some of the forensically-gifted people on here might be able to determine my identity. I'll let you extrapolate. Here's one of my little guy. And I'll just say the acorn didn't fall too far from the tree.

Don't forget the eighth and ninth intelligences: off-road tire placement and throttle control.

I think over time, people have been groomed to view things with more and more color. Releasing them from the confines of black and white, right or wrong. Levels of justification for low productivity or attitude as a whole (my momma beat me, I was called names in high school, TV was bad for me) have continued to blossom to a colorful rainbow of reasons not to simply do the right thing.

Increasingly, it's hard to find integrity as a central and overwhelming attribute. On the contrary, it's portrayed in negative light by many whom find there's less resistance by forgiving their own integrity for the sake of least resistance. As long as they have that colorful excuse to provide them with the minute amount of justification they can float through as lemmings being infected by those selfish with no moral aptitude who corrupt their thoughts and help them remain without the need to work hard at their own integrity.

I think you'll find that those hard working (not just trying to make a buck) individuals are ones that have the highest integrity, are the ones you can count out when you need them and are less likely to be swayed into the lemmingesk attitude of many. The credit seekers, obviously have lowered integrity and are cutting corners seeking a flash and not the bang.

Well, it is a cute little hiney.

But I was hoping for yours, this is not a shot of elcovan meat for my Girl Thread.

The head first intelligence does follow the tree theorum.

I concur with your line of reasoning here.

Please, Sir, let us keep this thread on topic and provide us with evidence of said booty.

That is just adorable! Like you, I enjoy the Father and sons play time.

Looks like your son is destined for a white collar career.

As a personal observation and quick calculations in my head, I've found 78% of children who choose to slide head first (as oppose to feet first), tend to migrate towards white collared careers. But this is just an assumption from one picture that your son likes to slide head first 83% of the time.

With an A$$ like that you don't have to worry about the sand in the crack issue at the beach

[DennisAJC]

Having "Your ass sewn shut" is a more common college practice than most people think. Incident rates of this rivalled just below Hazing.

I believe CO Hummer wrote a powerful paper on this. Him being the author and also a victim, I think he is more qualified at explaining this phenomenon.

[Scouts Out]

Just remember a man who never failed to tell anyone how smart he was, donald rumsfield once said

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

Fortunately, no such photographic evidence exists.

Since he got brave enough and did it his first time, he always goes head first.

It's my favorite time.

Interesting discussion. Dennis, I haven't run across many people quote Ferguson. As you can tell from my signature, I tend toward Mill.

MarineHawk, if you're happy with your booty, that's all that counts.
