Genuinely intelligent people see MENSA for
the sham that it is. No person who can use their
intelligence in real world situations would
consider becoming a member of MENSA. Being a
MENSA member means "I can do puzzles but I am unable to apply intelligence to practical
situations". Be wary of people who feel the need
to have their intelligence validated. I remember
I was impressed with being a member of MENSA
until about the age of 15 when maturity started
to kick in. I would suggest that anyone impressed
by MENSA membership should find out the celebs
who claim membership. Famous members in the UK
include Garry Bushell, Jimmy Saville and Kathy
Lloyd. Norris McWhirter is also a member - this
is a man who has spent his life memorizing The
Guinness Book of Records parrot fashion - probably the stupidest waste of a brain possible.
I'm from the UK and now live in the US so I
reckon I can comment - Fox Network is pretty
bad apart from Simpsons, King of the Hill etc.
but the Fox sports network is AOK by me
as Fox Sports World show live English Football on
Saturdays and Mondays with UK commentary and
they also show Sky Sports News every night.
I believe that the regional sports nets are
well respected by US sports fans.
BTW If anyone in the UK wants divx ripped US
shows before they are in the UK contact me
at immcnospaminto@yahoo.com and maybe we can
do a two way deal - a high speed connection
would be desirable though as I would like to
swap using ftp.
