What is the issue here...that MENSA exists or that not everyone qualifies?
Are none of you in any other organization that has membership qualifications (like the VFW)or charges these types of fees?
I want to apologize if my having a little fun offended anyone. I was trying to get a few laughs after reading the very funny list of words. I did NOT mean for the humour to be taken literally. I have the greatest respect for the members of Mensa, and I have been qualified to be a member since my first time in the University when I took the various tests. I had been contacted by one of my professors who was a member of Mensa, and urged to join, but didn't then and still haven't. I have attended 4 different universities, have two different Doctorate Degrees and one stand alone Masters degree, and yet today I find myself in a totally different field of endeavor and my degrees do not help in the least, except occupy wall space. I am also a member of 9 different dues paying organizations and don't have time for most of them now. Anyway, please accept my apology if I offended you or anyone else. I shall try to refrain from humourous comments in the future, and keep things on a strictly need to know level, IF I make any more posts.
Thank You
Rob
