I take your point. But my post was aimed at vegetable man's claim for an association with having a low IQ and having a taste for torturing animals. This of course is a fallacy of assuming correlation = causation.
Of course with the Trump's the genetic inheritance from their KKK grandfather (on a side note I also discovered this week that Harry Truman was a former member of the KKK) they also inherited a aggressive/pathological streak which is probably more important than having a low IQ.
I am sure folks on WP who score low on FSIQ scores wouldn't appreciate vegetable man's slur
I doubt many think Theodore Roosevelt was a man with a low IQ. Even though there are countless photos of him posing with dead elephants, rinos, leopards etc that he shot for sport. As for having a tatse for torturing animals, you literally have a that if you have ever enjoyed eating store bought meat. Even fishing can be called torturing animals. You just want to villify the Trumps.
The low IQ VM was talking about was people putting themselves in danger by gathering around a wild animal that could maul them, without seeming to have any sense whatsoever of the danger they were putting themselves in.
Big difference between that and being on a safari with villagers who have been dealing with those animals for generations.
As a meat eater I can't really fault your logic. To be fair Theodore Roosevelt lived 130 years ago whereas Trump's sons are hunting animals right now. But then I supposed the extermination of domestic animals (I include greyhounds, pound pets and horses) can't be held to a different standard so I stand corrected.
