    Billions?

    <rofl>

    Ok, answer this then.

    If the army is for intelligent people, why is the test the most spastic piece of nothing I've ever encountered?

    Nope, no one with a brain would ever be a cashier or a squaddie.

    You're obviously ****ing clueless <doh>

    Did you meet lots of people you considered intelligent when you were a squaddie?

    Makes sense now <rofl> <rofl>

    Jesus ****, you are an actual *****. No one said "the army is for intelligent people", no one. Somebody did say that Intelligent people don't join the Army or work in Asda. Do you understand the difference?

    Clearly not.

    That seems to be the point you're making? :huh:

    That intelligent people do decide to be squaddies? :huh:

    'I've spent 3 years working my arse off on this Astrophysics degree, I'm off to Iraq now to get shot at by goatherders for a 20k salary'

    If you think there are no intelligent people working in supermarkets or the Army then you are living in a fantasy world. You are a clown son and I have no intention of trying to prove you wrong because you are wholly ignorant, all the smileys in the world won't disguise it.

    You're so ****ing desperate it's unreal.

    Ok, so does this mean you're going to shut the **** up now and stop quoting every ****ing post I make?

    Nope, didn't think so, I've got to you so much you'll be beeling about me on your ****ing deathbed.

    You wouldn't recognise an intelligent person if they taught you how to ****ing read (and trust me, that's be some serious ****ing challenge)

    Now pop off to see one of your mates again <rofl> <rofl>

    By the way, you claimed that a degree is a 'memory test', you sure about that?

    Pilots need a degree? That's new to me.

    I started off (about 10 pages ago) saying intelligent people don't become squaddies. I then proceeded to say 'join the Army' (which, by the way, is how most people would understand it). I used the example of Engineers, but of course a doctor or a dentist need qualifications. They don't tend to go out and shoot people though.

    Keep it up Mindy <applause>

    Ok Dev, I'm going to play your game.

    You said getting a degree is just a memory test.

    Do you stand by that?

    You clearly haven't seen the Tory manifesto plans on reducing benefits and state pensions for the 2020 election...

    I think it's very subjective...

    If you have a relevant degree i.e Engineering, and you achieve a 2 at least, then you probably work as an Engineer.

    However, I know ****s with Art degrees that work in call centres!

    I would say, - in my opinion - if you are looking at Army squaddies, then I'd say there is a large % of them deemed as average (to maybe low) intelligence. It's a recruitment tactic, target poor areas - get a squaddie.

    However, there will be a % who have degrees adn/or are deemed intelligent and work their way up the ranks.

    They ****s on that SAS programme (the actual SAS guys), I would like to guess that they doubt have a degree but you couldn't say they were not intelligent. You know, SAS = Super Army Soldiers.

    I dont have a degree but I consider my self to be pretty intelligent. Well above average.

    But I my penis is of average size - last time I saw it.

    I know this is for Dev ... but not a memory test as such, but in my opinion, the majority of degrees are not a measure of intelligence. It is a measure of your ability to study and retain relevant information.

    My brother has a 1st in Civil Engineer, and a Masters in Project Management and uses that as a measure of his intelligence - it's not. He is good a maths, problem solving and being methodical.

    He's a daft racist at times.
