Good. Glad I got you turned around before you went the wrong way. 
Believe me, if you and I ever go in the same direction it will not be for the same reasons.
Otherwise, forum rules prevent me from saying what I really want to say.

Go ahead and say it. I've been a Southerner all my life and have experienced what people think they know and what's the truth. Yes, even on here. Ya see, us dumb hillbillies ain't got no education, hate them colored folks and have low IQ's. (BTW, is 168 considered low? Impossible I know, just asking a hypothetical question.) We play with copperheads in church and practice incest cuz my bible told me it was all right. Of course when you meet us and find out everything you were told was a lie, it's hard to see it any other way. I bust out laughing when I hear Trump would be welcomed by the Klan. That's what I call ignorant. Go ask the local klavern if you can find one, and see if they'd let a NY yankee with a half jewish family join? But leave the car running in case you have to get outa there fast. A little over 100 years ago a great evil began to rise in Germany. Evil has never left this earth and it's about to rise again. Not only do I hate the Klan for it's racial ignorance but the ones that join the larger group of white supremacists in wearing swastikas and worshipping Hitler remind me of why I'm so uncomfortable with what I see now. If you'd have told me 10 years ago that Americans would close churches and schools, prohibit gatherings of more than 10 and approved of locking up or rounding up "diseased people" and requiring an outward symbol to be worn as identification so we know whether or not to segregate them, I would have called you crazy. But what I see now and what I see happening in the near future is what we've all been warned about. If you think Hitler and the Klan were evil, you ain't seen nuthin yet. You're about to see what happens when control freaks finally gain power. It's good that you recognized the face of evil in that picture, that was my intent. Now look outside and see if you recognize it coming to a town near you............. |

Um...
Just so you know...
I also live in the South. In fact, I also live in North Carolina.
I have lived on the coast, in the Piedmont region, and in the mountains of North Carolina.
And I have met many individuals with high IQ's that could not pour water out of their boot, even with the instructions to do so written on the sole of their boot.

If you don't believe the klan is still thriving, you don't live near the Missouri/ Arkansas Ozarks!

ceresone, We haven't lived here nearly as long as you, but in our 22 years here I've never run across a KKK member. Racists? Of course, they're probably around, but never a Klan member.

Just for shucks and grins, an IQ of 168 means that a person is smarter than 99.9997094213% of people on the planet (assuming 15SD,since scores can vary from test to test). As an illustration, that's somewhere in the neighborhood of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Indy Gun and Knife show.
Klansmen are the older folks.
The newer scarier version is the Aryan Nation.
Vendors know who's who, and the "special stuff" (books, patches, club membership, etc) are under the table and only shown to said who's who.
I watched is happen.
I love the gun and knife shows, but the thick, heavy blanket of hate in the building is palpable.
I learned SO MUCH by being "just a dumb red headed girl".............and watching.

Probably, but that was the last time I let them test me because they wouldn't tell me the truth about WHY they never told me the results. I only found this family secret 2 years ago when my mom finally told my wife why. Apparently each test has an upper "limit". When you go past it they try again with another test. That was the limit of the last one and I got tired of the BS they were shoveling at me. www.theguardian.com/society/2015/sep/02/girl-12-wins-maximum-mensa-iq-test-score |

It might be more correct to say you don't KNOW if you've ever met one.  If you're friends with the local dry cleaners in town, you may wanna ask him, lol. |

I've never met one. One of my chemistry profs in college was pretty much retired, but would teach a course when the school really needed him or the mood struck him. He was absolutely brilliant. Worked on the Manhattan Project and held several patents in the refinery business. Rumor was his IQ was north of 160. His teaching was less than stellar or we were dumber than usual.😄😄 |

=== ===
I can add to this statement... So many times the person teaching is so familiar with a subject they forget everyone else does not know the many seemingly small details they do that may be key to the total understanding of the subject...
In tool and die shops I spent many hours teaching new people how to operate things and knowledgeable people how to operate new equipment and procedures... Again.. Skipping over a small detail may derail a persons whole understanding beyond that point if you presume they should, do, know this is the place it is to be included in the training..
When I learned to teach such things, I was told teach it as if you were writing instructions for defusing a bomb.. Do not assume everyone knows you cut the blue wire before the red wire... Or do not say "cut the red wire after cutting the blue wire" Keeping this in mind has helped me a lot over the years..

My Dad was a very very smart mechanical engineer (9 patents, etc.) and a very very bad teacher. People would get partway through doing what he'd 'taught' and things would go wrong. He'd say - it should be obvious, I shouldn't have to tell you every thing --yeah, no.

My nephew/partner in the wood flooring business was like that. He was so naturally brilliant when it came to anything mechanical he'd start explaining from the middle, expecting that "everybody knows the first part". Nope. I'd have to stop him mid-sentence and say "Okay, Steve, that's great, now start over from the real beginning."

I called him one time to help me with some problems I was having in an inorganic chem class. When I hung up the phone, I don't know who was frustrated more.😄😄 I never called him again. |
