BlueRidge, you are right, just don't expect anyone to admit it openly. It's taboo to say that you know?

I am struggling with the idea that the average IQ is ALREADY 80-90s. I always thought they put the 'average' at 100 and the bell curve came into effect from there.

As a group, these people appear to be willfully dumb....not necessarily incapable of grasping concepts, simply unwilling to put forth the effort to consider them.

My first impression is, does the Title of this thread underscore the original poster being 100% on the money?
OR has it just become so plausible in society that grammatical anamolies are not only accepted, but condoned.
Does this equal "stupider"? "Lazyer"? "indifferenter"?
While more stupid may be an easy answer to how you may feel, I tend to believe that indifference toward what was classically dubbed as being intelligent has taken a back seat to individual convenience. Ie., the title of your thread...I'm quite certain it was more convenient for you to use stupider although I'm also certain you know full well that "stupider" is grammatically incorrect.
Just my $.02
