AN IQ OF 70 OR LESS IS CONSIDERED MENTALLY RETARDED, THE OVERALL IQ OF THE UNITED STATES IS FALLING

I put it down to the issue of evolution and preferences - when you had to work hard, mentally and physically and smartly - just to survive and live any length of time, you had to THINK hard and the more industrialised - pre fossil fuel machine age, you had to think in terms of great depth and complexity - so the "IQ" traits were bred in - and as things got easier and everything came out of packets, and no one had to think or rationalise or plan, all the smarts like every other trait - were devolved, so mentally lazy people bred mentally lazy children and they all created a mentally lazy society.....

Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: The internet and "smart" phones has contributed to the problem!

@bigintol03: You think so? I would have put it down to also including too many choices and not enough time spent on specifics.... But the internet and smart phones, as you say can be sources of endless low IQ shit to engage in.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Also, add Indiscriminate breeding to the list!

@bigintol03: But they can't breed with dogs, most of the farm animals, cucumbers, kitchen implements, most house hold goods and appliances, the gear stick, the tow ball, ping pong balls, all sorts of fruit, barby dolls, most everything at the sex shop, childrens toys, shampoo bottles, wine bottles, beer bottles, toilet brushes, bed posts, each other, used condoms in the park, pool cues, base ball bats - the list is almost endless.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: lol...True!
