Are Most British Single Mothers Of Low Intelligence .

Why are Beagles so popular as pets despite their low intelligence? Doesn't their low intelligence cause problems?

Beagles don't have low intelligence. They just don't always do what you want them to do. It isn't because they don't understand what you want them to do; it's because they value their priorities over yours.When my beagle stole an entire turkey breast right off the stove when my back was turned, he knew it was wrong. That's why he waited until my back was turned, gulped the giant turkey breast down as fast as possible, and then ran and hid under the bed (with his hind legs and little beagle tail totally hanging out where I could see them).I've owned a lot of breeds of dogs, too, German shepherds, collies, retrievers, and none of them showed the utter genius for escape artistry as my beagle. In fact, I'd say there's often confusion about who is training whom. My dog, after being left in the car a couple times, learned to set off the car alarm so that I would come out and insert the key in the ignition. Once I caught onto his trick, he learned how to unlock the car door and open it to let himself out. Needless to say, he also knows how to roll down the window so he can ride with his ears flapping in the breeze.My dog learned the word “bacon" and would come running to the kitchen whenever he heard it. I once said “I might do some baking this weekend,” and he went berserk, running between me and the fridge until I finally gave him some meat. We began spelling the word “treat" for the same reason, and he just learned what “T-R-E-A-T" meant. He also recognized “B-A-T-H" as a separate and distinct word.If I'm going to pick up my son from somewhere, and--without moving or making any sign that I'm going anywhere--I can say quietly, “Let's go get Aidan,” and, even if he's been sound asleep, he will run to the front door and wait for his leash.Most of the time, when someone says that a dog breed is smart, what they mean is that they're easy to train. Beagles aren't particularly easy to train. But they aren't stupid. They can often be smarter than the people who live with them.

If Bengalis are intelligent, why is West Bengal poor and backward state?

What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrowKolkata in 1860Calcutta served as the seat of the Raj since the very first days to 1911. It was the second city for the British Empire. Calcutta was a lot ahead of it's time. Calcutta has seen glory. Bengalis have tasted glory. No where else in India has there been a Renaissance as the one in Bengal. No other place produced more brilliant minds.This is pretty much what you will hear from an average Bengali about Kolkata/Bengal. We are proud people. We have an incredible history. But we have problems.1. What I just did. We tend to live in the past. We are yet to realise that it's all lost glory.2. We are lazy people-We have a REALLY BAD WORK CULTURE The average man working in a government office in Kolkata wakes up early to see the sun rise with a marie biscuit in his hand and hot simmering tea in front of him. He sits till he finishes the very last article in his AnondoBazar or Telegraph, has a good breakfast and takes a bath before getting ready for office. He reaches the office. It's 11 by now. And the first thing he does is to order a fresh cup of tea and starts an "adda session" with his co workers. The files on his desk are towering over him, but he doesn't really care. 3. Our love for bandhs is famous We still think we have a lot to offer to this country. Bring about a “revolution”. Every other college goer in the city thinks of himself as the guy who can bring about a “revolution”. A revolution for what? Well, most haven't thought that through.4. Bad governance Three and a half decade of Left (mis)rule. One can say that points 2 and point 3 are also direct/indirect result of that reign.
