Hallo,
Back in '66 just after returning from the Nam I was hanging
out with college kids and this prof who they hung out with
started telling me about mensa and asked me if I wanted to
test. I did test and was invited to join but first was
invited to one of their meetings to check it out. Turned
out that all these geniuses had all the answers to the
problem in the Nam and that everyone else was just
ignorant. That was enough for me. A bunch of arrogant
clowns is what I found. Never set a foot in the Nam but
knew all the answers.
A partner of mine from the Detroit area tested a couple of
years ago and did join but without going to a meeting
first. He spent 1 year as a member and attended 2 of their
meetings before coming to the same conclusion I had back in
'66. Seems times had changed but mensa hadn't.
All that being said, it is still wise to remember not to
judge a book by its cover. There may be some decent ones
out there.
Happy Happy,
Gustl

You don't really think he's Mensa level do you?? I
think Keith nailed it with his comments about
sociopathy... they too, are "out there" and have opinions
- which unfortunately are often skewed by their disorder
(when untreated).... Life as we know it, goes on...

I like to think that given a chance he might have come
around. Alas, the decision has been made.
This is the second Mensa clown that stumbled to the
group only to make an ass out of himself. Why is that?
Is there a requirement that you have to be heartless and
souless to become a member?
Perhaps they are too smart for their own good,
fred
