I would be quite wary of Mensa membership were I setting out on a career.
Truth be told, I made $1,OOOs from clients
I acquired thru contact in Mensa when I was on-the-job,
but I will acknowledge that is not necessarily the same as
anticipated experience in a translation career. (I imagine
that your daughter has an excellent memory.)

It may be comparable to my NRA membership, of over 5O years.
Not everyone in NY loved the NRA. I did not put that on my resume,
nor was it the first thing out of my mouth during employment interviews.
I dont remember that it arose in conversation at all,
in common with a lot of other things whereof we did not speak.
It seems un-likely that English Mensa publicizes its membership lists,
such data remaining immune from the scrutiny of potential employers.
When I was hiring for my own firm, membership in Mensa
was not among my chosen criteria for applicants. (That's a little joke.)
However, I recruited my law partner, Elliot, DIRECTLY from Mensa.
American Mensa is very flexible, malleable, & good for making new friends.
Some of its SIGs r intriguing. In the alternative,
u might offer her membership in the NRA.

@OmSigDAVID,
I thought that most modern languages could be transcribed/translated by computer software.

Doesn't Google have a technology for many foreign language translations?

@Miller,
That's what a stupid person would say. Try having a conversation with someone using google translate and see how far you get.

The facts are that Language graduates are the most employable of all, more that science and engineering. Your uninformed bigotry is just that, uninformed, and extremely ignorant.

Some people don't understand 'body language.' A computer can't do that! Any nuance in language can't be interpreted by a computer program.

@cicerone imposter,
There's a novel by Philip K Dick called Galactic Pot Healer. Since it was written it's been overtaken by science, but in effect they take the title of a novel, put it through a load of translation software, post the result and try to guess the novel.

"Majestic gun stinging insect" is The Great Gatsby.

@izzythepush,
I eat at an Italian restraurant quite often and on the walls they have posters of movies with them printed in Italian. When I was a kid 70 years ago my grandparents could only speak Italian and I was able to converse and understand them. Now I cant make out the italian to english translation even knowing what the movies are. Sad.

When did you last try? It's all still there, you just have to remember how to access it. Why not try an Italian class? If nothing else, it's good for your mental health re. the aging process and all that.

It would be best to understand that racism is the fear of indifference. The white fear the black, as children fear the darkness, so to speak. They are men, like us, they come up with different aspects of life and biological make up, but they should never be treated any differently than we treat any other person besides ourselves, for our own colors are as different to us, as people who come in other colors. We love a rainbow; we love the night sky, but somehow we simply cannot understand how to love another human being because of the difference in appearance, culture and evolution, but in the end - I always felt that blacks are biologically more primitive than whites, which is just an observation; it may explain why whites are so scared by them, they are very strong biologically speaking, and the whites are basically living their entire lives suppressing their own inner animal within this society, so I can see exactly where the hatred spurs.

Ease your dosage and pay attention to what you're writing.

There's a big 'difference' between 'indifference' and 'difference'.

Black people make white people feel "normal" - it is "indifference". Please understand what you're reading before commenting.

So if there were no black people no white people would feel normal?

Lucky there's an endless supply of stupid - otherwise you would have cornered the market.

No, black people cause whites to realize they aren't the only ones, so they lose that "superior" motive. It's like when a child lives their life thinking they have super powers, but realizes what reality is in the end. When whites see black, they realize "we're not the only ones", and they lose that ability to pretend they are superior, but like a turtle, they roll around on their back, still striving in that naivety, so you can clearly see what white men are doing and WHY they condescend their own species - they are bringing them down for ONE reason: to maintain that superiority.

Strangely I am sure that whites are as a group better than blacks

We can argue that whites did not get this better in fairness, but life is not fair so maybe it would not matter .

Yea, whites are great at racial bigotry. Your chart proves the point.
Without understanding the history of black Americans, you fail to understand the fundamentals of racial prejudice and its long term effects.

Why do you think blacks serve more time in prison for the same crimes that whites commit? Or, why do blacks get shot by police more often than any other racial groups? Why do blacks get stopped by white police more often for just walking on the sidewalk or driving a car?

Get your head out of your arse - if that's possible.

@hawkeye10,
Sorry, but the Universe is black and white, without black, there wouldn't be white and vice versa. Darkness and light; stars and black holes; black skin; white skin, it's all contrasts.

It really disturbs me that people on this planet have brains, but they use it to argue relativity instead of reality - it's just absurd to even think about what potential we have, and what that potential was wasted for.
