Do you believe that Dermot has a Masters degree and is a member of Mensa?

Here's a quote from one of Dermot's arguments: "Ok I've a masters degree and my wife has also I'd say we are pretty well educated I'm also a member of Mensa just so you know I'm not a dimwit and not making this up I just asked my wife whats a creationist , she said " they believe the earth is 6000 years old" my mom is here she is 80 highly educated and thought the same , now you can tell from your experience but I'm telling you straight from mine no one calls themselves a creationist here not that I've ever heard and in fact would be quiet upset to be called so ."

As you can tell, his grammar sucks but he also thinks that there aren't ANY creationists in Ireland... even though the majority of them are Catholic. As he stated, he's supposedly a member of Mensa, which means that his IQ is in the top two percent of the general population. Shouldn't his intelligence be well rounded enough that he'd know how to use proper grammar and understand what a creationist is?

There's more evidence in this debate as to why I find it hard to believe that he's as educated as he says he is: http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/Can_stupidity_be_inherited_through_genetics

You have to go through basic studies in order to get a Masters degree... or any degree for that matter... but come on, Mensa?

Side: No

People also probably had about 8 years of learning proper grammar back in school. So if we go by your reasoning then we can say that he has never went or dropped out in 1st grade, which I find to be less likely than not having a masters degree.

Idk about Mensa, but I'm addressing the topic title.

Who cares if he has or not, I've met loads of highly intelligent people who's grammar and spelling are appalling but like I said who gives a shit what his education level is, on here its someone's debating skills that are important not their education and obviously not their spelling or grammar as there's a hell of a lot of people's spelling and grammar that is atrocious and you haven't picked them up on it.

Side: Yes

Actually, I pick on a lot of people's grammar. It's one of the first things you learn in school... and then you continue to learn it. The only excuse is if you are a very young child or have a learning disability.

"Who cares" isn't an option. Either you think he he's as educated as he says or you don't. If you want to side with the guy who believes creationism doesn't exist in the Catholic country of Ireland, calls me a "bluffer" because he thinks that I'm pretending to be smart, attacks everyone else for their grammar even though his is far worse, and has suggested that members go kill themselves... then be my guest! But I find it very hard to believe that his IQ is in the top two percent of the general population...

Yes, I do believe he could have a masters and be a member of mensa.

1. Having lived in the UK, I understand that some universities automatically give you a masters after both the successful completion of your under graduate degree as well as a pre-determined amount of professional work (I am not sure if it is hours/months based).

2. You can take a test to get into Mensa. There are many practice tests. Go find one and try it yourself. If you "study" for it, I hear you can pass it fairly easily. But, why would you want to?

Oh wait! He is Irish, right... maybe he was just drunk when he said he was a member of Mensa, or maybe he meant NAMBLA, no that can't be right since he's in Europe... Hmmm? I dunno?

I'm starting to think he isn't even Irish. He just seems like he's full of shit.

I tried an online Mensa test once.. It was a sort of 12M on a D M C= 12 Men on a dead man's chest type thing. I got something like 24/30, not enough to get in :L Also, it kinda took me about an hour, when it's meant to be 20 mins..

As doe Dermot, it's easy to bullshit on the internet :P

Yep, very easy when people don't know you... but if he's going to make such claims, he's going to need to back them up in order for people to believe him.

Like I said to GuitarGuy, this is true. However I don't bullshit, ask me any question and I answer truthfully ;)

Side: No

Lol. Can't stop laughing. If he is ready to back it up let's give him a second chance test on CD to confirm his claims.

Why would I need to confirm anything to a Ghanaian rapist ?

Let's have you confirm you own a record label , and you're a CEO , let's have you confirm you own and operate a fish farm , let's have you confirm you're in a rap group .....

Let's have you confirm you're a rapist ...... oh sorry you've already took pride in admitting that 👋

1. Its an attempt to run by trying talk about me instead.

2. This has no correlation with intelligence test.

3. Cite each of them so i reply(if i may) according to how i stated them not how you put it.

By the way:

FB Page: Homies of rap ascension & SOW Africa(These pages have no boosts yet)

Youtube: Sow Africa(not adworded yet)

Twitter/Instagram: Sow Africa(@kushtalent~ Location Africa| Kushites) (not yet powered, only a few months ago this year but with three verified followers foreign and local).

Timing to publish website with other networking groups......

sowafrica.blogspot.com (just a little awareness).

I believe dermot is a kid living in his mommy's basement looking at porn and getting fatter than the day before.

Thats hardly surprising that you would think that way and it seems to be the Christian way of doing things on CD and you're a Christian aren't you ?

Side: Yes

I also think that dermot might be a night stalking street rapist, but who really knows...
