getting back to imus question. i say he said he was sorry that should be enough. we all make stupid statements (i think he is a dick) but let it go. as far as sharpton and jackson i am waiting on them to say sorry to the duke players for saying they were guilty that will never happen

Thats a whole other lengthy thread ...

I dont know what torque wrench you have, but mine wouldnt be come uncalibrated. They are meant to take force. Also, what is more frightening. One guy with a blunt object, or 5 guys with blunt objects?

Is the answer "1" !!??!!??

First, retard, you're not even quoting Mensa correctly. Instead, it looks like you're making shit up again, like where you made up statistics about the portion of IQ tests that devoted to problem solving. Here's a fucking newsflash, Mr. Mensa: 100 percent of IQ tests are devoted to problem solving. Wouldn't be much of a question if you didn't need to solve a problem, huh?

 

"Hello, this is an IQ test. Here's your first question. Think of the color blue. Okay, great! There's a point. Now, for the next question, listen to me say the following: "basketball." Okay, great, you did! Awesome, there's another point. Wow, from these results, you're a genius."

 

Second, quit thinking that only intelligence tests utilized by Mensa are acceptable and, commensurately, quit typing all the stupid shit that you think you know about Mensa and intelligence tests just because you have a keyboard, a monitor, and an Internet connection. Rather, get back to me when you've done some research on the following tests not "accredited" by Mensa:

 

- the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Third Edition

- the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fourth Edition

- the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities

 

In the meantime, maybe you should try this really great, but very brief, measure of intelligence. Get a jigsaw puzzle. Put it in the oven. Turn the oven on to 450 degrees. Put the jigsaw puzzle together with your forehead in as little time as possible. If you can do it in under three minutes, then you're a genius.

First off, I wasn't saying Mensa approved tests were the only tests worth taking. SAT,PSAT, LSAT, though if those were the tests in question I wouldn't need to ask who approved it. Though because Mensa is the most recognizable high IQ society, its usually the best to bring up. Certainly better than Mega, or 39. If the WAIS was the specific test brought up that would have answered my questions seeing as how that is an accepted test by Mensa. SIMPLE. You're being over-analytical about what I was asking.

As far as the 90% problem solving, I meant more along the lines of complex puzzle/pattern recognition, and yes I was being facecious about the actual percentage. Forgive me.

Also, what exactly am I skewing ? Skewing or spinning information is a way to show light on ones side of an argument or point of view. I am simply asking a question. I agree with you that Mensa is not the only authority on standardized IQ tests, but it is certainly a good place to start. When I hear someone say their IQ is 154, thats fantastic, you're an intelligent person, pushing the line of semi-genius. I just want to know where the test came from.

EDIT: I apologize for being part of this threads jacking. I will speak no more of the subject. Thorne, I am not trying to doubt you, you seem like a perfectly intelligent person. Tilley, regardless of our disagreement if you have anything to say to me, lets please continue our conversation in PM so this thread can continue without our bickering. You also seem like an intelligent person so I have nothing against you. I suppose we just butted heads for some reason.

This was the last paragraph that I have removed from my post, it stated:

"Lastly, the fact you resort to name calling proves to me, regardless of the missing prefix in your name, that you have a superiority complex, and the maturity of a 10 year old. Congradulation's."

I formally retract it. It was immature, and I let my bitterness get the better of me.

Mensa means stupid thats whats so funny.

"Mensa" means "table" in Latin. In spanish it means "stupid" but I think thats just a coincidence. Or someone being funny.

Please stop saying "Mensa accredited." I don't think you entirely know what you're talking about.

Accredited:

1. officially recognized as meeting the essential requirements, as of academic excellence

2. provided with official credentials

3. accepted as authoritative

As in meeting the requirements for acceptance into Mensa, of which there are many standardized tests that are acceptable.

Thanks for playing though.

The Pharmacist who signed off on a 2x.x dosage amount for the little girl who was perscribed a 3 or .3 amount of meds.. immediate termination on 1 mistake.... granted totally different scenario but similar

I hardly eqaute someone stating their opinion to someone killing a little girl ...

the one thing i really hate when n00bs do is when they were invited by a friend, they post in a random thread and just say "hey kyle/jim/craig/todd/morbo remember when we were at that one girls house and she did that one thing and it was hilarious?" which leaves the rest of the established CR community scratching their heads.

 

 

so i guess my message to n00bs would be is if you have an aside to tell your friend that you know outside of CR, make it a PM or just call the motherfucker up...don't waste posts here.

 

I.E. Good post:

 

 

bad post:

Yah, that is annoying and I'm a n00b.

I came out of Best Buy on Morse rd. and saw some prick and his boy staring into my car window. I had only gone inside to check a price and wasn't in there more than 3 minutes.

I just yelled "Hey get the fuck away from my car!"

They took off and that was that. I hate these fucking people. Low life bastards don't respect anything.

It almost makes me want to set a trap. My car, a radio in the driver seat, and me hiding somewhere nearby with a torque wrench and a couple of friends.

Oh, and I'm down ...

nononononon that was a typo man. The test I am going to ask my mom tonight I know she saved it because she was so proud. This was fomr the shrink I used to see for bieng bad hyper.

 

 

I am good at puzzle solving.

See there you go, though I'm still confused as to why you said you were poor at solving puzzles ?

I was hyperactive as well. This is just before Ritalin became the proverbial, national babysitter though so my brain was spared the ill spanking it would surely have received. Though I probably could have used more focus as a child. Always going from here to there, back and forth.

From the stange guy handing out candy from his dingy van, back to the playground ...

that was too much for a n00b to be posting

 

 

 

STFU NOOB LOLOOLOLOLOLOLOL lame

 

 

 

 

seriously, though, I've got nothing against n00bs as long as they respect the rules and don't start too much shit

LOL. See I have been word banned.

I GO EAT POO NOW.

Nice knowing you. Dont drop the soap or else...

Sorry fellas, just got back from the federal slammer, and what they told you in "Office Space" isn't true.

I need a band-aid, some colon cream, and a percocet. Stat.

If you read TBOM or Anarchist cook book using allot of accesable checmical you can build some pretty nasty bombs. I mean I dont know how large they can ge.

The good ol' A.C. Had a lot of fun with that growing up. Now I'm even afraid to say I've ever seen it.

Wait ...

I think I heard a loud knock just ...

...

...

Yes sir, I believe so I would have to dig up the papers. I had 3 tests. one in 1st grade cause that though I was slow, I was just hyper as fuck. 125 then. middle school 143 then the 154. If you doubt my problem solving We can find someting ot test it with. Thats why I'm a engineer because I solve problems. But thats what Im not here to debate. I do consulting on the side where I deal with penn testing and Foresnics on servers.

 

 

I said I CAN figure out btw I just typoed. My biggest issue is my mind thinks faster then my fingers so i start going and stumble over my words. Sorry.

I'm not trying to throw shit at you or anything, I'm just wondering what kind of test you took. There are a million different IQ tests out there. I was just wondering if it was a Mensa accredited test. Besides it was you that stated you lacked skills with problem/puzzle solving, which is highly important to a standardized IQ test. I'm sure as hell not trying to "test" you, just asking a question.

I agree, I'm 26 IQ tested on paper 154 (WTF IS THAT, Still cant spell. Cant figure out complex puzzles and patterns but english...), I've got no formal school and make above 65K now. I agree its possible but the odds are stacked against you. its those of us who fight to swim that make it.

No offense but how did you score a 154, if you can't figure out complex patterns and puzzles. Problem solving is 90% of an IQ test. Was it Mensa accredited ? Really those are the only IQ tests to be taken seriously. I didn't qualify, I only scored in the 96th percentile at a 136. You need to be in the 98th or above to qualify for Mensa membership ...

You would think if you wanted to ay low you would not dress like that

For realz, though he doesn't seem like the "intellectual" type to me.

God damn Al Queda. I always wanted to grow a decent Fu Man Chu beard, and now I can't cause I'll look like a fucking terrorist.

Dare I say it ...

Would someone please call the WAAAAAAAAHHHHbulance.

j/k

I can see what your saying and I can understand it may not read well. Though I'm probably someone your talking about. Hell, go read my intro thread. I mess with people all the time. Its the inter-web. It happens. I made a comment earlier that was a complete goof, but in my defense, read the title of the thread. If you ask a dumbass question like that, you deserve to get some sarcasm.

My posts, if there was some joking and cynicism, were mostly in defense. I understand people are going to fuck with me cause I'm a noob on this site, and thats fine, but I sure as hell will fuck back, and if someone can't take it they shouldn't throw stones in the first place. (not saying that is you)

This sure as hell isn't the first time I've been on a forum either I'm a regular on a few Nissan specific sites and was looking for a place to meet other auto enthusiasts with other platforms than Nissan. A little variety if you will. Though this is an obvious case of monkey see, monkey do. N00bs come in, get fucked with. Then turn it around on everyone else, possibly thinking thats how to fit in with the crowd.

Personally I could give a shit less what everyone does, and if something strikes my funny bone, out it comes. Thats just how I am, and if we ever meet, thats how I am in person too.

People havn't forgot that slavery existed. You're under the impression that since people don't bend over backwards for every minority that it means they aren't respected. To reiterate, slavery was recent in terms of U.S. history, but it still wasn't anything the current population experienced. We should be far past racism by now, but the defensive side is always crying in order to gain ground on their agenda.

I don't agree with every point your conveying but I do agree that if the racism card is played too often it loses its meaning, and unfortunetly it makes some of the actual cases of racism go under a storm cloud of controversy.

As far as being "past racism" you have to admit that you can't get "past" it when its still prevelant. I'm not talking about cracking racist (but often funny) jokes with your buddies. I mean real racism. Which I myself have been unfortunate enough to experience. I'm not going to give you my sob story either, because the way I see it, the people involved I could care less about, they're grade A morons anyway, and all around losers at the game of life. So it doesn't effect me, or how I live.

One side is saying that they're "always crying".

The other side is saying that they're "always racist".

The truth lies somewhere in the middle. In the grey side.

I know a few white people with nappy hair, and I know black people with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Please post pics ...

nappy headed ho's is not being racist. Its a rap song by Too Short

LMAO

If I were at my office and I made similar statements and someone was offended (which they would be) I could definitely be canned. The same way if I go into work tomorrow and grab my bosses, hot as hell, secretary's ass I'll get fired too (SORRY SORRY I meant personal assistant).

However, Imus is a radio personality, his job is to give his opinions. Not help to grease the corporate machine, or be an opiate to the masses. Just keep a humble demographic for the show he sells. If people don't agree, then don't listen. He was a mild shock jock, and has said stupid shit in his past that was along the same lines. I think its hilarious that people are demanding apologies for this mans opinion. Thats one thing I never want to lose, the right to think and believe what I choose to, when I choose to. Even if it means defending an asshole like Imus.

Being a minority myself I must say that what someone says on their radio show is their business. If I don't like their point of view I won't listen. Whats worse is trying to silence someone just cause you disagree with them. Al Sharpton, while he has done many positive things, is also a creature of opportunity (though aren't all in his political position). Any chance to make some noise and get his name out, and hes on it.

That said I understand that the station owners are the ones that have to put up with the backlash, so he may be out of a job, which is unfortunate. Not because I liked him, because I don't. I think hes an arrogant asshole. The reason behind his firing is unfortunate.
