About the IQ thing, there is hope. Ever heard of the Flynn effect? Furthermore, in Scandinavian countries, after the end of World War II, IQ rose by a whopping 20 points or more per generation. Read on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect Now, I agree with everythingzen when he alludes to the notion that people have been conquering, mixing up, migrating from one place to another for eons. According to the most popular hypothesis, homo sapiens began their long journey from Africa, the so-called mother continent. I guess everybody is familiar with this hypothesis. So yes, I don't blame Europeans at all. However, I wonder why he goes on to enunciate that non-resident Nepalis shouldn't criticize Nepal. How do we earn this right? Democracy, man. If everybody shut their pie-holes, you would see no French revolution. I see tons of Americans bashing America. It's their right to do so. Of course, Republicans have the right to criticize them as well. Same regarding Nepal. Do we all have to be "patriotic", however the word is defined? Know what I mean? "WE HAVE NO RIGHT" All I know is democracy is about rights. Should we all act like robots? I like speaking my mind, thank you very much. You might not agree with me, but hey, I do have the right to criticize whatever and whoever I want.
