Nothing in that opinion piece supports what you said.

It's very easy to do with your takes on younger generations.
The only Whiney millennials I deal with are on this site. Probably the fatalistic mentality you grew up with.
Most irl are pretty awesome.

Gun rack in my pickup at school with a 22 on it.
Common at my high school too, I only did it once by accident, crapped my pants when I realized it, not because I had a gun in my truck, because I never locked my doors
Gun was still there after school, so all good

So... millennials on this site are whiney because they believe in fate or predestination? Do you actually think about the drivel you post before you hit "submit" or do you just fire it off and hope no one takes a mere 2-3 seconds to try and digest it?

One potential explanation was quasi-eugenic. As in the movie “Idiocracy,” it was suggested that average intelligence is being pulled down because lower-IQ families are having more children ("dysgenic fertility" is the technical term). Alternatively, widening immigration might be bringing less-intelligent newcomers to societies with otherwise higher IQs.
Really though, maybe it's easy times and socialism dumbing town those European countries.

Being told the only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to him and not crying to the teachers.
Also, going to The Dollar Cinema (and hopefully not catching hepatitis), being excited over getting the extended cord on your phone, cooking without a microwave, having to consult the TV guide to find out what is on television, watching the Wild Wild World of Sports or Wild Kingdom, and listening to LSU football on the radio while at the hunting camp!!

It's not an opinion piece. Another thing to make fun of your type, y'all can't tell the difference.

If you need help, I'm here. They've decided it's not genetic, but environmental which includes for a large part, media.
But of course, you can't tell the difference between fact and opinion.
If you could actually comprehend what you read, you would have read that the USA isn't in as bad a condition as some other developed nations.

Intelligence has a lot to do with the ability to solve complex problems, and it's definitely environmental. It doesn't bode well.

It's quite literally from an opinion part of the website.
Who's the drama queen now with that gay arse post?

Yeah the fact is that IQs are dropping. The rest of it is an opinion piece as to why. And he wants to criticize reading comprehension

The information contained was factual.

However, a 2018 study of Norway has punctured these theories by showing that IQs are dropping not just across societies but within families. In other words, the issue is not that educated Norwegians are increasingly outnumbered by lower-IQ immigrants or the children of less-educated citizens. Even children born to high-IQ parents are slipping down the IQ ladder.
Some environmental factor — or collection of factors — is causing a drop in the IQ scores of parents and their own children, and older kids and their younger siblings.

foreign to many these days. Went to get my truck inspected 6 months ago, the younger guy couldn't drive it, the older guy laughed and told me to hold onto this truck...."it will be worth it one day" whatever that meant.
Vinyl records are apparently making a comeback and I had an old record player for those, but gave it up a few years ago....poor decision apparently.

Glad you got it chief. Posted on 1/19/20 at 11:19 am to RogerTheShrubber
Right and the reasoning you gave that you tried to support by linking an opinion piece wasn't found in said opinion piece.
But by all means, continue to act condescendingly "smarter than you" while making yourself look silly.

No, you tried to dismiss the article as opinion. Some conclusions were opinion but the fact IQ is dropping and it seems to be dropping because of environmental factors is 100% based on truth, not pinion.
