Indians are the most civilized persona! It was Indians that originally found aeroplane, radio And many other technologies!

First, the question of who has the most intelligent people in the world is a matter of population as well as intelligence. America has more geniuses than Singapore has people! Say goodbye to all the other small countries on this list. Countries are very often ranked based on their average intelligence with out regard to variation among ethnic groups. The United States taken as a whole has a high, but not world beating IQ. Drill down to various ethnic groups and you find the intelligence of those groups is much higher than the American average. The average for the dominant group is as high as any other group in the world. Add to that the fact that the smartest people in the world try to immigrate to America, and you have a very large sub-group of intelligent people. The intelligence data we have for China records information for only a few of the big urban area. Extrapolating that intelligence to the whole country is not valid. With hundreds of millions rural Chinese still living at ...more

In the United States of America, kids get C's and/or D's. Very rarely do you hear an American kid is getting straight A's every year. Kids from the United States of America just go home, ignore homework, play video games on their gaming systems, and lay on the couch watching television, until it is time for them to sleep. Kids in the United States of America don't pay attention in school, and fail lots of things. Kids and even ADULTS hardly understand politics in the United States of America. Let's get away from the kids subject. Ever since all of the toys in the United States of America were made safe, the dumb person percentage went up very high.

Malaysians have always been forced to learn everything and excel at everything as early as 4 years old - to survive the ever-changing education system of Malaysia, one should be an expert in adaptations. Such are Malaysians - while adapting to the changes, one must else be one with the harmonics that is the cultural diversity. It's actually a double-edge sword - one being the capability and the will to identify a definitive trait of oneself, while the other would wreck havoc to one's confidence due to the sheer amount of knowledge that needs to pass through to reach the doors of exploration. In my humble opinion, that's what make Malaysians part of an intellectual community, but also provides an abundant of wisdom hand in hand.

sentences could be for 5years, even if the crime could have deserved more.
