To think people who are thick...

[Jux]

... should be taken out of the gene pool?

Then there'd be all those lovely resources left for intelligent people who can spell, who know grammar, can count, can think clearly. Has the added bonus of improving the human race, as more intelligent babies will be born and the dumb schmucks won't be able to reproduce.

They should just offer cash prizes for Darwin Awards.

Job done.

BANG

Agree.

Wouldn't it be lovely if all the nasty people congregated on this thread and talked about 'hating' people/benefit bashing etc.

This would leave the rest of us room to breathe and eat cake. Maybe saying 'Ohm' occasionally and wafting some Mitsouko around. Not patchouli, we ain't that hippy.

I was messing. :) x

Haha at 'the middle of my journey' ripishere

That'd put me out of a job op as I work in ld services, and I know who I'd rather spend my time with, given the choice. The guys I work with time after time.

I hate living amongst elitism haven't read original thread people wanking on about how clever their kids are and how their genius is held back by the others pisses me off a lot.

Thank goodness Jux :)

I agree with laurie

Fizzy, I'm so dumb I actually don't know what ld services are. Really, I don't know. I am wondering whether I should ask you for enlightenment - pulling myself up by my bootstraps - or just go straight to BigGirl for the humane killer

(Though, I would like to know before I die.)

Laurie, I do make good cake.

Most AIBU OPs today

They look loooong to me; but I have been sticking pins in my eyes.

damn it i was ready to have a pop at you jux for being an idiot but i see now you are joking. you take all the fun out of it you know!

ld services - learning disability jux

Fizzy, couldn't have been more appropriate (nearly spelt that wrong!).

IAmBooy, please, go ahead. I may end up performing an invaluable service for the MN community; anyone feeling pissed off with all the AIBUs could come on here and have a pop at me.

Like to feel I might contribute something to my society!

Actually, Fizzy, may I PM you on a serious note, vis a vis ld services?

I am quite thick but not as thick as some people I know.

Where do you stand on semi-thikos?

Pandemoniaa Phew, am safe then. Only just.

Semi-thickos should be semi-detached, obviously.

Bigirl Pmsl at bang

Boo this is a joke isn't it. (sense of humour confused)

Fizzy, I just wanted to ask what you did in ld services. I am coming to a point in my studies where I have to make a decision about the direction I go in. Up until now I've been doing a maths degree, but I can choose to move towards literacy/numeracy teaching or statistics.

I am interested in teaching lit/num to adults who missed out at school, kids who are falling behind and children/adults with ld. I was wondering if you could tell me anything about that, ie. what qualifications you need, whether there are a lot of jobs around etc.

The alternative is statistics, and I have been told that the world wants more and more statisticians. I'm not sure about taking a job where I can only just pronounce its name!

Firstly, go and google Eugenics in America early 20th century. Secondly, if everyone was university material who would fill the shelves at Tesco, collect the rubbish bins etc?

Whoa there people! Surely we can actually expand this idea to truly do some good....

Now eugenics is all very well, but (and hear me out here) - what about cannabalism? (sp? Potentially outing self as ficko). How much methane etc do cows, pigs etc produce? The production of meat is harmful to the planet.

But cannabalism - we could get rid of the fickos AND help to save the planet!

I mean, I eat someone you think is fick, you eat someone who i think is fick - where's the harm?
