   almost everything that gets posted in these forums is moderately to intensely brainless  - we leave out brains in a basket by the door before entering, that way EVERYBODY can have fun and no one has to feel bad  -   as far as I can tell, that is what goes on here.  I love it, personally.

         naw - I don't even open a thread like that - ditto some of the obvious bids for sexual attention of some kind - unless, of course, I'm feeling exceptionally brainless myself and then I jump right in to tell them how inappropriate or transparent their post is and how much I don't like it - and generally somebody says "if you don't like it, don't read it"   so you can see why I say "we" leave our brains in a basket by the door.
         
         I think some of this stuff serves a purpose in being an outlet for inanity or insanity or just plain old cussedness and I don't leave myself out when I'm pointing the finger.  Sometimes its fun to just be silly or express our dismay.  So right now I'm expressing dismay! 
         
         the sex in front of children post is pretty dumb on the face of it and possibly something more than that. There have been a number of posts like that which are very thinly veiled attempts to titillate people by mentioning taboo sex topics - the other day there was one about whether women always bleed for first time sex - the title of it was "Sex for the first time"  and there were posts by young pretty women avatars with hubber scores of about 20.  Obvious to me that these were solicitations but I'm not sure how that works?  they get men to email them or something and then offer sex for a price?   I'm sure that prostitution happens here as well as anywhere else online.  It's offensive, actually, more than stupid.

    Mine was a crazy British woman who wanted the world population reduced to 500,000.... in the belief that she should be amongst the remaining 500,000 because of her high IQ. The first to be lined up against a wall would have been the physically and mentally disabled.
    
    That one wasn't just idiotic, it was in fact distressingly insane, even more distressing were the number of Hubbers that appeared to share her views. A quick look at the Google Keyword Tool confirmed, thankfully, that very few people actually subscribe to or research this particular set of ideals. At least away from this loony bin.

       Except her IQ wasn't quite high enough for her to understand that high intelligence isn't a particularly useful trait.   Most of the problems that really matter are better solved with a high emotional intelligence than a high IQ- or can't be solved at all.

             It's more than that.   I always am hesitant to post links here but if you research really high IQ people, many have real problems adjusting to society.   It's analogous to being Andre The Giant - you can't play with your friends because you'll hurt them.  You are too big to use many tools.  But you can't win a fight with a grizzly bear either or jump over tall buildings with a single bound.
             
             It's not a matter of "common sense" - it's that you aren't smart enough to see the sense they are making.   As almost nobody else is either, it usually works out that you were right anyway :-)
             
             The most successful people are the ones who are a little bit smart.  Smarter than most, but not so smart that they cannot fit in.  Not so smart that they can't still see how ordinary people think and use that to their advantage.  Many of the successful people you may think of as "brilliant" are not, actually - if they were, they usually will not be successful :-)

    There are lots of reasons why people post a topic here at the forums, reasons are varied maybe to :

    to be known to others, introduction of themselves
    bored
    real problem and need solutions about hubbing
    wanting support
    just to be heard
