Reversing Two Restrictive Policies, Illinois Issues Accurate Birth CertificatesBreaking news!!! And this is great news for trans people born in Illinois.
Here is a link to the ACLU Illinois story:

no surpriseI once belonged to Mensa. Then one day I asked myself the impertinent question: If you’re as smart as you think you are, why are you paying them $46 a year for a card that says you’re as smart as you think you are?
There really are nice friendly Mensans, you know. In my time I made friends with many who actually behaved like intelligent, courteous, aware humans. Unfortunately, Mensa is also the home of a lot of unrepentant, foul-mouthed, bigoted self-abusers whose ignorance outpaces their intelligence by a couple of furlongs at least. But I think you’ve already noticed that.
The problem is that the mensa asshole labors under the misconception that, since he scored in the 98th percentile of a standardized IQ test, that validates every verbal turd that pops out of his mouth. It got to the point where I got tired of listening to them, but they flew around mensa parties like flies around garbage, so I finally bailed.

I would accept the apology, but…

Apologies to real members of Mensa

I too am no longer a member.
Maybe its been longer than I thought (10 years or so?), but I don’t remember it being $46/year.
Nevertheless…

your site is horrible two scroll bars lmao and you talk about dumb ass shit on there hank williams is not being rascist by showing the whites of his hands you are just someone with no life looking for somethine to raise a fuss about my suggestion lose some weight get man and get fucked

Seeing punctuation-starved rants like that one makes me want to re-up just on general principle.

truly ..MENSA isn’t that entertaining.

$46 bucks?No .not going to do it.

I knew a few folks with intellects off the chartsSome self medicated themselves…..a lot
A couple had absolutely no social skills, rude, and schitzo too.

thanks.

sounds like the guywith the giant green ‘n crusty booger hanging from his nose hairs last month who told me where i, poor deprived lesbian that i am, could find a nice pole to climb.  he was such a fine specimen of manhood.  well, except for the sour clothes to match the fetid breath.  we do have some charming gents in seattle, and they’re not all named larry stickney.

Actually, you get a fair bit for your dues (which are $59 now)The money mostly goes to the local chapter, who use it to pay for regular activities, put together and publishing the monthy newsletter, cover various day-to-day expenses and offset the cost of regional gatherings. The rest goes to national where it helps to cover the cost of operations, pay for the Mensa Bulletin and offset the cost of the Annual Gathering. And if paying annual dues is too annoying, there is always a lifetime membership.
(I’m on the committee that’s organizing programming for the 2011 Annual Gathering in Portland, Oregon. One of the first things that got explained was the size of the budget and how difficult that was to get :-b )
We do have plenty of people who fart out their mouths and brag that it’s attar of roses, but I’ve known a lot of non-Mensans like that, too. The problem is that the very smart ones are much more difficult to crush, which makes them damned annoying when you are used to dealing with Densans. That doesn’t chase me away from the large majority who are lots of fun to be with. I like that I can go to a party and have the conversation go from gardening to pollution to petroleum alternatives to solar power to stellar physics to cosmology to Albert Einstein to Blaise Pascal to Jesus Christ to Benedictine monks and back to gardening, with everyone in the group keeping up.

That person barely qualifies for DensaTo join Densa, you have to be in the stupidest 98%. I dare say this person is marginal, and not at the high end either.
I would be tempted to correct the email for spelling, grammar and punctuation and send it back.

we could define a new minorityThe group NEITHER sex wants to F*CK.
unf*ckables

I get by with a little help from my friendsI like that I can go to a party and have the conversation go from gardening to pollution to petroleum alternatives to solar power to stellar physics to cosmology to Albert Einstein to Blaise Pascal to Jesus Christ to Benedictine monks and back to gardening, with everyone in the group keeping up.
I don’t have to pay dues for that; I can just go over to my friends’ houses. This is why I went into a highly technical specialty of the defense intelligence community.

I enjoy gifted and creative friendsThey may not score as brilliant on an IQ test (though many do) but are artists, poets, dancers, costume and set designers, architects, musicians.

tch, mensa!My 8th grade science teacher once made some kind of obvious mistake or had something important slip her mind, and when she realized it, she went, “tch, mensa!” I chuckled, and she assumed that since my Spanish was poor, I didn’t know what she meant; “Mensa” is a colloquial way of saying “dummy,” at least in Mexican or Texas-border Spanish anyway.
She was right that I didn’t know that, but I wasn’t humoring her based on her tone; I had assumed she was sarcastically referring to the Mensa organization.
I always think of that whenever someone mentions Mensa now.

If we can talk history and sexual or queer theory over booze or coffee, it’s ON!!I need to come to a party at your house.

booze in coffee…..YUM    http://coffeexperts.com/images…

We’ll be doing even more holiday baskets this seasonThe couple we did the white orchid wedding for, want us to do the holiday baskets they send, and want my hubby to decorate their home for hanukkah, a winter wonderland theme. A few years ago a lawyer and his lover had us do their home, after the lawyer got fascinated seeing trees sheathed in ice. We did a bare pear tree with clear wide tape covering most branches and hung with icicles, rock salt crystals and Austrian crystals from chandeliers. It came out very striking.

Yes.‘Dad’ would be able to keep up with all of those and far more, including the story of a monk that to the best of our knowledge, was sicc’d upon him and is, to our knowledge, still praying for him…
Versus I would have hijacked the conversation at stellar physics and taken a re-route to history or genealogy!

IndeedA great sense of humor is one of the most beautiful aspects of a person’s makeup.

Waitaminute!You said you couldn’t make it to Maine! When were you here and WHY was I not informed???
Oh wait, you said Seattle… More coffee, please!

Why I went back into International Lawpeople with broad outlooks, committment to justice and whose minds are absolutely delightful

Petey! Put a warning on those postsI was sipping coffee—ROFL

Thank you for posting this,  This Bull Shit Rule affected me personally.  As Many here know, I am planning to get married towards the end of the year.  I have been worried that the Birth Cert might hold things up.  I know where I will be calling and mailing later today.
 Thank You again for posting this!
 LOVE and HUGGS to all.

Damn, peteyyou owe me a keyboard.

I was invited to the MENSA equivalent of a rush party once(My IQ isn’t actually high enough to qualify for membership, but several MENSA members assumed it was.)
The first guy I talked to at the party, whose name was Alex, explained that he was going to build a space ship in his back yard and fly to another star system by pulling himself along lines of gravitational force.  When I tried to explain that “lines of gravitational force” don’t actually exist, and this is like saying you’re going to travel from Pittsburgh to Philly by pulling yourself along the 40th parallel, he began screaming at me about “dogmatism.”  And nothing I said could get him to stop.
I pulled myself away from him and slinked across the room to an interesting-looking woman who had caught my eye  And before I could even say a word, she greeted me with, “Hi!  I’m Marcie!  I’m a witch!”
I found my coat and got the hell out.  MENSA?  Fooey!

Which reminds meI’m going to set upon my big sister this week and implore her to procure the appropriate genealogy records. I swear you and I are related a few generations back when the patrilineals came down to Massachusetts from Nova Scotia by way of Maine and the Penobscot tribe. The fact that I look just like your sister makes me REALLY makes me want to know.
(And why the hell did it double-post? And not show up as a double-post until this morning?)

Seems like the commenter came from the same box of crackers as Hank.

DON’T HAVE TO BE IN MENSA TO KNOW HANK, JR SUCKSHank’s not just a racist, but a terrible musician.
Fortunately, grandson Hank III is a great musician.  It skips a generation.  
It’s a good thing Hank senior is passed away, because his son is just plain embarrassing.  Since he can’t sing for s–t, he can only make money from these political rallies because he’s not even good enough to play Branson.  

my bad

we have a chance for our first frost tonightWe moved tropical things like a fishtail palm and mixed pot of houseplants, and flapjack kalanchoes up on our porch which stays a little warmer, and protected from night winds.
I made a few cuttings of sweet potato vine, coleus and large leaf begonias.

I think POC LGBTs might have particular interest in her thoughts on OUR MOVEMENT.

REALLY an exceptional movie, if you haven’t watched it get a copy.
Complicated characters, layers of imagry, and masterful  acting in every part.
