Interesting Signs

[Slo'Poke]

I caught this one on my way to an airport in San Diego (admitted, I was in a cage at the time). It was taken on my second pass; the first one, I was nowhere near ready to snap a pic, and I nearly crashed LMAO while doing 65.



Got a good one somewhere on your drive? Post it up here, friends.

I saw that one on Mind of Mencia one time. Carlos was making fun of it, then asked the City Officials what it was for. They said it was to "beware of pedestrians" or something like that.

[Slo'Poke]

Yep. I asked a friend at the airport, and he stated it was for illegals trying to cross the freeway at night.

Yeah, Carlos said it was beware of Mexicans crossing, but to be true to life you have to add more kids and make the woman pregnant.

I'm reading a book about different country's and race's reproductive rates. You need a 2.1 birth rate per woman to remain at a constant state. The US as a whole is at 2.11.

Liberal white women are at around 1.35
Conservative white women are at 2.3
Japan & Russia is like 1.1, they're reproducing their way out of existance.
All of Europe is at about 1.5 except for their Muslim population which is way up there.
Muslims, Hispanics and Africans are really the only groups of people that are growing in population so Carlos Mancia's sign idea is right.

An interesting thing with that is the correlation between an idividual's IQ and they're likelyhood to procreate...and procreate often. Obviously, there are many more factors that go in to it and a lot more depth to it. In general, the higher one's IQ, the lower the likelyhood to have children, let alone a small brood. Once you get below the 100 mark, there's a higher likelyhood of having more and more children. What else is interesting is once it gets "too low", then it drops off again.

You ever see the movie Idiocracy? It was done by the same people as Office Space, and it goes through just that scenario. The higher IQ people don't procreate and the lower ones do. 500 years later civilization is dumbed down to the point of barely being able to function. It's a cheezy movie, but the point is clear!

We've seen. Crysti and I just about decided to start procreating! Then again, that's assuming we're smart. Ha ha!

I can't actually lay claim to this one, but it was posted in a thread I started on another forum.

As soon as I saw your post, I was about to respond, but then I saw the next one...

Great movie. It gets more true every day. Being in the TV business, I found the guy watching TV with all the ads surrounding the program (which was reduced to a tiny postage stamp in the middle of the screen) very amusing - and regrettably true...

The thing is, I have close to a 170 IQ. However, I'm single (and really not out looking) and pretty much out of the game when it comes to "expanding my genetics". On the other hand, the guy that lives next door that hit his thumb 3 times with a hammer before removing it from the top of the nail has 4 kids. Go figure...

A lower IQ often correlates to lower income, lower income, to fewer recreational options. Procreation is cheap entertainment. We moved from the city to a very rural area just a few years ago. If our two next door neighbors let their kids out to play you would swear they were having a private festival. Throw in a couple of visiting friends and you've got the game of your choice complete with spectators. In rural America there's just not a lot else to do. Which also contributes to the teen pregnancy rate. Husband and I agree that we're glad we had all our children by the time we moved.

Are you trying to flatter me because I never had kids?

[ALStensby]

Procreation is cheap entertainment.

And condoms are cheap too! Or, there are other "options". Ha ha!

I bet you're a genius now!

I'm not sure of the actual dates and such, but this just goes to show you how us man value various body parts:

Nutcup was invented and used regularly roughly 100years before helmets became common place in sports. Ha ha!

That or myself.

I couldn't resist.
