Quite frankly I don't see the point with joining Mensa. Idiots like Illusion prove that any moron could join, anyway. /shrugs
Not to mention that the place is full of pretentious twats. A lot like some universities really, but even more pretentious.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

My parents hid my IQ scores from me as a kid for some reason (I had a bad enough know it all attitude as it was lol), but I got into my elementary school gifted program (which is based on IQ testing).   I really don't care to find out what my IQ is, it just doesn't matter to me.

I once quite fancied the idea admittedly. However, I couldn't say what the point would be and haven't bothered to try again.

I assumed that would be true, but the people I met at the MENSA meeting weren't pretentious at all.  They were just nice people who happened to have high IQs.

* ) It can be a plus for your resume.
* ) It can make it easier to find people interested in intellectual activities like philosophical debate or abstract board games.
* ) It has a special interest group focussed at researching and debating common side-effects of high intelligence like Asperger's.

Those are pretty much the reasons I joined.

Can't you even write a single post in this thread without insulting me for disagreeing with your liberal rubbish?

So why would someone join a club which is set up to say that they are the brightest in the nation, if its not to look down on others that they consider less intelligent? (Ignoring of course insecurity of their own intellects)

I've actually never joined Mensa, but I know people who have, and there are rumours that some Mensa members have threatened other members that they'd put ice-sticks in their brains if the other person scored higher on an IQ-test. :green:

Don't worry Phlex, he hazes every up-comming troll.

Just piss everywhere and you'll stake out some territory. Just don't piss on me or you'll be truly sorry. :evillaugh:
Go ahead and piss on Vodzy, he is a closet lover of golden showers.

I'd have to buy him dinner a few times before I did that I think.

Nah, that is what a first class degree is for.

There are better ways of doing the above as opposed joining Mensa, e.g academia, political parties, think tanks and other such clubs.

Most universities research it anyway, with access to laboratories, the whole academic community and so on.
