RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

Ironic, coming from a Welshman.he he he You might want to remove some of this which could be considered racist. Bohdan 21:33, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, Wales: the birthplace of the industrial revolution. Mississippi: its deathbed. Anyway, what might be considered racist? Mississippians aren't a race (yet), right? Also, all my States articles are unrefutable, documented truth-filled eclairs! Ooh, I have to go edit Oklahoma again! humanbe in 21:59, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

The race accusations could be this: You criticize them for bringing down education and civilization. It is a known fact that they have one of (if not the) highest number of African Americans of all the 50 states. Your comments could be interpreted by some as a corralation of those two. Wales, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution? Nice try, it was England. Bohdan 22:06, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
Ah, ok. I see where you are coming from. I would counter that by saying that the reason MI is run so badly is a racist attitude on the part of whites running the show most of the time, not the direct fault of the African Americans (ex-slaves, of course). Sure, England was also the birthplace of the IR, but you should read up on how important South Wales and its coal and iron ore were. It's pretty again now, but a couple-three hundred years ago it was an industrial wasteland/hive of production, kind of like China today. humanbe in 22:18, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
China is pretty? Bohdan 22:19, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
While I'm sure China still offers much natural beauty (yes, it's a very beautiful place), right now they are doing the same thing everywhere else did when revolving industrially (!?) - covering everything in a thick layer of toxic grime. The Welsh grime was gone by the time I got borned. Ever see Yellow Submarine? Some of the scenes show a bit of what Liverpool was like. Covered in soot. Remember the peppered moths (famous evilutionist lie?) that had to adapt by exploiting their darker pigment because the trees were all filthy? humanbe in 22:32, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Average IQ[edit]

Apparently, it has the lowest of all the states, with an average of 93.8. In a funny twist, the lowest "non-state" would be D.C., with 91.2. The nat'l average is approximately 98. source: http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2010/05/state-iq-estimates-2009.html --Toasterstrudel64 (talk) 00:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
