Your definition makes the Olympics a snobbish endeavour. Every Mensa member I've met was very simple and down-to-earth, so I can't agree with your analysis. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If polyglots aren't arrogant, why should then the members of Mensa be arrogant? I wouldn't see any reason for this. And I wouldn't expect such behaviour either. If somebody is a member of Mensa and I am not, where is the problem? If some people are polyglots and others are not, where is the problem? Every human being is different and it is wellknown that having a high intelligence doesn't make life easy.

How is it a better attitude to simply and generally declare that all Mensa members are snobs? Are you not declaring you are a better person for NOT being a member? That is equally "wrong and nasty". Edited by Arekkusu on 10 March 2011 at 10:21pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don`t know where this disdain of Mensa members originated, but I can genuinely say that it mirrors nothing I`ve ever experienced. 1 person has voted this message useful |
