[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really sickening how some posters talk about “poor kids” like it’s some kind of genetic mutation that makes them poor and stupid. It is  just a lower income bracket it’s not a criminal gene, it is not a factor in intelligence, potential or anything else it’s simply an income status. You people are vile[/quote]

This is an interesting article.  https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/traits/intelligence

[quote]Like most aspects of human behavior and cognition, intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.

Intelligence is also strongly influenced by the environment. Factors related to a child’s home environment and parenting, education and availability of learning resources, and nutrition, among others, all contribute to intelligence. A person’s environment and genes influence each other, and it can be challenging to tease apart the effects of the environment from those of genetics. For example, if a child’s IQ is similar to that of his or her parents, is that similarity due to genetic factors passed down from parent to child, to shared environmental factors, or (most likely) to a combination of both? It is clear that both environmental and genetic factors play a part in determining intelligence.[/quote][/quote]
Your point?
People are not genetically poor you idiot. Low and high income is relative. What is considered average income in many lower costs of living areas. Vile(and stupid)[/quote]
