Yeah, Estonian is Finno-Ugric as well, but my point still stands I'm just trying to keep your feet on the ground, homeboy

edit: and after having read your 25 random facts post; whatever you do, don't join MENSA. It's just a huge ego trip that turns into boredome. Trust me.

In reply to this comment by EDD:
Except it just happens so that I meet and chat and hang around Estonians almost every other day. Just sayin

P.S. Don't think of me as someone too self-centered. Sure, I may queue up audio of myself talking in the background while jerking off, but that's the only way to get off for a lot of people, right?

No, MENSA has lowered their standards over the years...

Unequivocally.

I love Monty Python, but the next witless fuck who quotes me some of it in a "oh look how clever and Mensa I am" tone is gonna make me go off and break John Cleese's knees with a lead pipe.

And now, for something completely different:

THE ARCHITECT SKETCH!

I know I'm not privileged, but if I was I'd request a "MENSA" channel for this...

Yes, you Mensa folks are exactly right!

We should weight votes by how intelligent a person is. Forget letting idiots and buffoons decide our leadership.

I propose we weight "dumb" people's votes and only count them as 3/5th of a regular smart person voter.

No go f-ck yourselves.

Great article. A Palin Administrations would be terrifying. He's pretty much dead on with this article, except I disagree with his blind celebration of elitism. This notion that being smarter than someone else qualifies them to exclusively represent a body of people is lunacy. He'd probably rather have Mensa International elect our government than the people of this country, because Mensa's collective intelligence represents the best 2% of the world's population, therefore they must know best for all of us, right? Maybe we can enact a law that states before any citizen votes they must pass an IQ test? If he/she scores poorly they cannot vote. That would ensure the dumb people aren't fucking up the country for the rest of us. What a wonderfully tyrannical world of the elite that would be.

To denigrate the import of a representative government by citing bad quotes from a cross section of voters ("someone fit to have a beer with") is bad form. It goes against the very notion of reason he unflinchingly touts as sacrosanct. Our founding fathers gave us a simple blueprint by which all men could read and understand our government: the Constitution. Freedom is a simple idea. It fits nicely in plain text within a couple pages. Tyranny is complicated and fits in thousands of law books and only an elite few can truly understand its verbose legalese.

Anyhow, I'm going to climb off this soap box now and get back to sifting cat fart videos. I just wanted to add my two cents. Great article, though.

>> ^bigbikeman:
Spoco: True. You make valid points. and I too struggle with the whole porn thing. I love it. I hate it.
That being said, in a free society, one has to make room for this stuff. So Jenna hasn't gotten over her unhappiness? Well boo hoo, neither have I. So what? Where's my 15 mins with Bill O (so I could smash his self-righteous face against the wall and blame it on my parents while I lick his blood from my knuckles)? As for the porn industry being full of miserable bastards: take a look around any industry and you'll find sad desperation, in all it's insidious forms, anywhere you have the guts to acknowledge its existence.
The real problem in thinking here (imho) is in believing that what pornstars do is "Wrong", in the mortal sin kind of way. It's a trapping of the whole puritanical taboo against sex that runs so strong in N.A. society. Yes, people have sex with strangers for money. It's time we got over that already.
What they do is a choice, of their making, based on their life experience. And compared to other (comparatively morally ambiguous) choices, it isn't all that bad a way to make a living, really. Sure, you can rail against it and say that it's demeaning and demoralizing, but then you should rail against telemarketing to, not because it's annoying to you, but because it's psychologically damaging to the people who choose to do it.
But not many people take that stance....though by your argument it's equally valid.
Have sex with strangers; work at Walmart; call people you don't know in their homes and try to sell them something they've never heard of. Hmmmm.....tough call. I have a vague idea of what kind of whore I'd want to be, though.
To to be honest, I don't give a flying fuck if porn is empowering or not. That's not my problem. Or yours. It's Jenna's. If she says it is, then that's got to be good enough....assuming one gives her an ounce of respect.


Yeah, we shouldn't look down on people for having sex with others for money if that's what they chose, but the problem is that in so many cases they either do it and really, really hate it, and themselves, for doing it, purely because they need the money, or they're doing it while reaching out for something they're lacking in their relationships. Have a look at the movies "The Girl Next Door" or "Sex, the Annabel Chong story" for a couple of examples of the sorts of lives these women have... then you can also look up info on Asia Carerra, a porn star who has been admitted to Mensa, is very smart, and yet due to various bad things occurring during her younger years, ended up in porn also. What about Linda Lovelace from Deep Throat? Check out Louis Theroux's Documentary on Porn, that demonstrates how unhappy men can be in the roles also. (Yes, this is something that interests me quite a bit, because as I said, I would love to just be able to enjoy porn, but it's really hard when you are faced with the ugly behind the scenes truth... spoils the illusion) There are so, so, so many cases of these people not being happy at all, at all... try and find me one who's finished with the industry and still says 'Yeah, I loved it, it was a great job'. I think you'll have a hard time. OR even 'Yeah, I did that, it's behind me now, it didn't affect me at all, and I've moved on to better things' (like someone who had a job at Walmart might)

As much as you can say it's their choice, they have a right to do it if they want to etc. etc. and some woman say that they do like it, and they love it etc. I've yet to see a woman come out the other end and not be changed for the worse by this.

Oh, and Choggie mentioned the rise of brutal and degrading porn... yeah I've seen some of that on the web etc. and that is really wrong, the direction the industry has taken, seemingly towards more mistreatment of women is horrible. Give me a movie where the woman is pleasured and the man perhaps not even at all, and I'll find it more of a turn on, because at least that makes it more possible to believe everyone is having a good time.

Dupe, Mensa boy:
