Sorry, but I am giving up on you. That post is too much. It is stupid beyond the pale. You have these ideas that you think are true, but science has proved are not. The right wing does that a lot and the reason people should watch MSNBC instead of FOX.

The rich are NOT smarter than the poor that is really a dumb thing to say.

and stimulus is stimulus. The study said it was simply the amount of words spoken in the house. The rich speak over a million more words at home. People who can afford to go to college, or travel more, or go mix more with educated people, etc, speak more.

It has nothing to do with intelligence.

And contextual stimulus does the job no matter where it comes from.

And no that is not an extreme kids are like sponges and can learn all sorts of things better than adults, like languages. People in Europe usually speak more than one language. They usually learn as a child.

No I post data from multiple real studies, you mostly rely on one older on if you bother to bring real data in to this issue at all.

The reason, stimulus in the rich kids homes!

1 - At 5. The point is having things last.

2 - In their homes, different factor than in school.

3 - Rich people are on the average smarter than non-rich peopl

You just are not going to quit the right wing clap trap are you?

3 - Rich people are on the average smarter than non-rich people. That's one of the reasons they get rich. It does not always work that way, you have very intelligent people who are very poor and idiots who are rich, but its a real tendency. Intelligence is partially due to genetics, in fact there is some evidence that once you get to the point of a decent environment (no serious nutrition deficiency, some degree of stimulus, no accidents or abuse that would cause brain damage etc.) that its mostly genetic.

If a five year old child lived in a household that spoke five languages

A rather extreme corner case don't you think?
