Mensa

Let us all ponder Mensa. Mensa, means 'table' in Latin, therefore, it's members consider themselves a kind of 'knights of the round table' I suppose. They consider themselves a society where race, colour, creed, national origin, age, politics, educational or social background are irrelevent (this, all taken straight from the Mensa website)... BUT, you have to take IQ tests to join, and your IQ has to fall within the top 2% of the population. So, riddle me this, how is that not a stigma on the utopian like society of so called intellectuals?

You are free to discuss what you like in forums, go to lectures, blah, blah, blah...
Although, you have to have an IQ that falls within the top 2% of the population to enjoy such discussions, forums, lectures, etc. Apparently stupid people aren't allowed to enjoy such things because they are all politically mad, racist, social deviants! Mind you, I do feel it takes a special level of ignorance to be a racist in any sense of the word. Although, I don't feel I'm being racist against Mensa, I am just bothered that they would put themselves at so lofty a height above others. Forget the whole, 'Mensa means 'table' in Latin,' I think Mensa means, Many Egoists Needing Superlative Affirmation. What makes them so much better than everyone else?

Maybe I'm just bitter because I can't join Mensa. Seriously, I have an IQ of like 70, the free online IQ tests told me as much! The average IQ is 100. That makes me below average. Sure, I can read and write, but that's about it!

I'm going to start my own sub par intellectual group. Who's with me? We can have discussions, forums, and lectures about things like: Kitty cats, purple leopard printed pajama bottoms, the extensive collection of dust bunnies under our beds... whatever our little brains desire!

I'll let it be an open forum as to what we will call ourselves. I have a cold beer in the fridge with my name on it, many cigarettes to smoke yet, and Jerry Springer to watch on the telly!
