I agree with Grenache and liked bugmenot's response also. While I think it is alright to go back
and double check that one has their facts straight, if you don't "get" a topic, maybe try to learn
from it before debating it. Then again, there are some topics regarding current events. If one
hasn't had a chance to catch up with the news, I don't see anything wrong with searching that topic
and finding the facts before a response. In general, I think we are here to both debate and learn.
No, having two windows open is not a good way to do that. Checking your facts is something that we
should have learned back in middle school when writing a term paper. |

It's both funny and true, and I especially liked bugmenot's reply. Just keep in mind though
referencing Wikipedia at least demonstrates an attempt to do a little research and back up an
argument versus simply sounding off with attitude. |

Wikidiaper is full of $*!+ and is made for infants. It's a joke and a waste of time. I reject any
work that students use it as a reference for.
Check the $10 bin at your local computer store. A five or ten year old CD encyclopedia by Collins,
Webster or Microshaft will be more accurate and useful.
Edit:
If it's making you cry, buttplugman, you've always got three choices:
1) Leave. 2) Grow a pair. 3) Suicide.
Pick one and stick with it. |

True intelligence is editing wikipedia to back up your point first. |

Too true, just because it's easy to find information online doesn't mean that the source is
worth-while. And in an online forum like a debate site it's not a sign of intelligence to be able
to run two open windows at the same time, just means one is good at using windows. Your average
third grader can cut and paste info from yahoo or wikipedia. If this is what we consider smart
now-a-days, we're in a lot more trouble than most of us think. |

This is true, but given the fact that no one will ever read the same books or resources to site the
only common source that everyone can review are online information and its only a matter of if
everyone is willing to accept it as fact for the sake of argument. Other than that, its just a
battle of personal opinions. |

Intelligence is implies some sort of application of information.
Wikipedia is only information.
I can agree. |

Intelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many
related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think
abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn. There are several ways to define
intelligence. In some cases, intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality,
character, knowledge, or wisdom. However there is no agreement on which traits define the phenomenon
of intelligence agreed upon by a majority across the various concerned disciplines.
Theories of intelligence can be divided into those based on a unilinear construct of general
intelligence and those based on multiple intelligences. Francis Galton, influenced by his cousin
Charles Darwin, was the first to advance a theory of general intelligence. For Galton, intelligence
was a real faculty with a biological basis that could be studied by measuring reaction times to
certain cognitive tasks. Galton's research on measuring the head size of British scientists and
ordinary citizens led to the conclusion that head size had no relationship with the person's
intelligence.
Alfred Binet and the French school of intelligence believed that intelligence was an average of
numerous dissimilar abilities, rather than a unitary entity with specific identifiable properties.
The Stanford-Binet intelligence test has been used by both theorists of general intelligence and
multiple intelligence. |
