WORKING-CLASS students have lower IQs than those from wealthier backgrounds and should not be expected to win places at top universities, an academic has claimed. Bruce Charlton, an evolutionary psychiatrist at Newcastle University, has written a paper asserting the reason why fewer students from poor families are admitted to Oxford or Cambridge is not because of social prejudice, but lack of ability.
He suggests that low numbers of working-class students at elite universities is the "natural outcome" of "substantial" IQ differences between classes.... His claims could trigger an outcry similar to that faced by the Nobel prize-winning geneticist James Watson, who was forced to apologise after claiming that African and Caribbean workers were "demonstrably less able" than white ones.
However, Dr Charlton argues it is precisely the fear of creating controversy that prevents other academics taking the same line.
He said: "That is why such obvious scientific truths have not so far been stated clearly, or have actually been denied.
"(This theory is] accepted among those who know and understand the research."
There is /no/ reason it means blush. “colem” means blush, and “calam” means blushd. Both also mean show shame. These are also in Strong’s, which /I/ used to make my post in Google Groups. If you would bother to read my links, you’d not make these hasty posts, as they already cover your claims. (I don’t believe in evil either—any more than a free baby-eater pitbull or a (Anne Hjelle) Kristian-biker-lasher mountain lion is evil.) Also, in one of my links I say how there is no free will as long as God is around, and as long as God’s evil in scriptural admission is.
In my Yahoo! Answers post, I gave you the true meaning of “eternal” and how it does away with your belief.
I think you mean Gene 3:15, not 2:15, and it “specifically” refers to no Krist. It says why women are afraid of snakes, how their kids will stomp on their heads, and how snakes will bite at their feet.
Gooooogle on...
The Commonwealth is too illiterate; it corrupts nearly every vowel and consonand. Why else would they say Google as “Gugul”.
