So did you raise the IQ?

Or just add your name to the non-contributors complaining about it?

Post interesting topics.

Also thank you to those individuals who felt the need to respond in a negative or apathetic manner, since your opinions matter as well. One thing that is self evident about these types of responses, is one can always count on them to be present whether it be serious or not, and needed or not. Doesn't matter does it?

Hmmmmmm...

I will say this, if you perceive negativity perhaps it is the way you couch your OP...

"Raising the IQ level" which means that many of us posting here aren't all that bright... would you expect a "positive" response?

It is like you are saying "Hey dumb shits, your inane drivel is boring the fuck out of me, you need to get some fucking brains and post something I find intelligent"... Same diff if you ask me...

If I want to discuss something, I start a thread. If other people want to talk about it, they reply. If they do not, they don't. It says nothing about the relative intellect on this forum that people do not want to discuss the same topics that I want to talk about, it means they are interested in different things than I am.

I did not say it in my last post, but I will say it in this one.. on this thread your attitude is extremely condescending as it reads in your words... And btw, people who post here do not do so for your entertainment or your edification, they do it for their own... if on average most of the material on this message board is beneath your standards perhaps you need to go somewhere else if you can't tolerate the stupidity that you find here.

What you focus on grows.

No I didn't raise anything if you followed the posts of everyone. And when I have something to add differently and with more interest other than an observation, then I will.

You're not getting the point of the original post concerning "Raising the I.Q." which wasn't meant towards the people, but towards the posting lately. I voiced an opinion and it was flammed half the time (which is generally expected) in the replies. I tend to give people more credit than you assume of me. And through the post that caused you to respond, I concede that it is pointless to carry this thread on any further.

The value or weight of a topic is often personal taste.
Same count for replies. What you dislike or what irritates you..you often see as soemthing with less "IQ".

And yes..I do think there also soem pontless threads..but you can ignore them..or just enjoy them
The lifestyle is not as difficult as soem think it is.
Just live it.
