Re: "Free Speech" and the Internet

The MENSA entrance test is more solving puzzles, identifying word associations, that sort of thing. Not so much a test of what you know but how quickly you can process information and solve problems.

I agree 100%, it is no indicator of common sense, as evidenced by the posts that I have read from some of them. There are, as Basil mentions, some very bright people with a lot of common sense. There are also a great many without it. I only started learning common sense after I put on a uniform. Very steep learning curve there.....

I went to a few Mensa meetings and was bored to tears. All under-achievers
crying in their beer about how "someday" they were gonna be famous.
All of them trying to impress each other with much drivel and nonsense.
Not a lick of common sense in the room--- after I left. je,je,je..

I had a room mate in the service who was a brilliant mathematician - but the boy had not an ounce of common sense...well, maybe an ounce.

My Grandmother used to tell me that there is nothing 'common' about 'common sense'. I have found that to be VERY true. :wink:
