Nor that this and not politics is the correct forum for race baiting. While the article may have been analyzed, that wasn't what was done. Nope, pure racism on the part of the poster:

A. A very simple question was asked. Nothing more or less. Some took out their rage on me over asking a very simple question showing results of education tries.

B. Mensa is the largest and oldest high IQ society (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_IQ_society) in the world.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-2)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-3)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-4) It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile) or higher on a standardized, supervised IQ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient) or other approved intelligence test.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-mensa-5)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-mensa_UK-6) Mensa is formally composed of national groups and the umbrella organization Mensa International, with a registered office in Caythorpe, Lincolnshire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caythorpe,_Lincolnshire), England.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-7)Mensa (<small>pron.:</small> / (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English)ˈ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)m (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)ɛ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)n (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)ə (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)/ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English); Latin: [ˈmensa] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Latin)) means "table (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(furniture))" in Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin), as is symbolized in the organization's logo, and was chosen to demonstrate the round-table nature of the organization; the coming together of equals.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_International#cite_note-AboutMensa-8)

[5,6] explains that one is not required to take their test provided others recognized are taken}

C. The first mention of Mensa came from Jim. Notice that Mensa accepts other official sites tests to qualify.

D. As to my not joining them, the question is why? I qualified in 1962 and if the US Army tests don't qualify a person, this would amount a slap in the face of this nations Army.

The Army test that shocked the Army was a 100 percent score on their test by myself. This was in 1961. When I entered the Army, like it or not, the US Army subjected all of us to two batteries of tests. I received a letter from the Army that I had beat the best score previously given out by some person in the 1935 era as best recall. At least it was prior to 1940 and I recall it being in the 1930s.

To qualify for the Army OCS Test, one had to have superior test scores.

I scored very high on the first battery of tests so I took the OCS test and got a score of 156.

I am not amused some republicans are in attack mode over this long distant event.

I knew even in grade school and high school and then in College my test scores were very high.

I expect these attacks from democrats but had no idea this board had this many hateful republicans. I question they are actually republicans due to the hate oozing from their finger tips.

Kathianne. Even when I attempt to follow the suggestions of jim, and you in ignoring someone. Speaking to other members has become another reason for me to be called out. It's almost as if...If I dare ignore. That is then grounds for another argument, and threats of running to the Cage.
How long are we expected to avoid including children who should be seen, and not heard?
That's a terrible question. But it's getting worse every day.

I wasn't being that deep. I was really wondering about those two threads. My power was off and they were in my top 5 on new posts. That's all I was referring to.

Behave and Jim won't keep putting you in the Cage.

This post should not be in the Cage. A post going to the cage for merely explaining in general?

I saw Kathianne as the number one cage post.
