Well well well, I do not knows about more intelligent, but seems they
were better armed than the average Iraqi.. those IRA guys ya know. They seemed a mighty ****sed but that was a while ago. Did ya have a hoot on St Patties Day there Donal? They dyed the bayou here green here.. and marched around in kilts blowin the bag pipes. I'd love to drink a pint at every pub in Dublin on St Patricks Day. Joe Member of The Scott Clan Joe |

Human beings are human beings and all have the same capacity to learn, as a
species. it has nothing at all to do with what nationality they are. Cultural differences do not indicate intelligence. "Donal" wrote in message ...

Cultural differences do not indicate intelligence. Correct! But how do you explain the fact that Polish decendants are unable to detect sarcasm? If it isn't cultural, then it must be genetic.
