It irks me to no end to see this type of litterary excrement spread across something I otherwise enjoy. I have people who I know to have kids of their own unable to spell simple 3 letter words correctly. It's too late to stop the spread of retardism into the gene pool.
As a side note, the thread about an IQ test showed the average smuggler who decided to post had an IQ of 130+. This means we'd have to kill off 95% of the population just to be left with people as smart as we think we are
What really worries me is that back in High School, my IQ tested at 168. Now it's down to 133. I've gotten more stupid with age.
Take a lesson from this, kids. Drugs are bad, mmkay?
They scale the number based on age. If I say I'm 8 I have an IQ of over 200
If you were 81, you'd be eating much and looking for your hearing aid/teeth all day long. IQ of 200 really wouldn't help much with those issus.

Bonus points if the convo has nothing to do with language.

You got it. I'll see what I can come up with.
QFE to all of the above.
The complete lack of punctuation and sentence structure also annoys me to no end. I really wonder how these youngsters are going to pull their own weight in this world if they can't communicate in an intelligent and coherent manner.
Kids don't need to learn to read or write anymore, they have the internet looking out for them. Don't know something? Google it. Need to get a point across to a wide range of people but don't know how to effectively express yourself? Make a post on an internet message board consisting of one gigantic sprawling paragraph with only 3 wordsspelled correctly.
I have a friend who is a high school teacher - he set an assignment on Che Guevara earlier this year. Sadly 50% of all returned assignments were about how Che's shirts were readily available onEbay at $14.99 a piece.He was almost to the point of tears at the pub that night, although from laughter or genuine concern for today's youth I'm not sure...

My wife teaches elementary school... If you really want to know who should be arrested, it's the parents.
Teachers get blamed for a lot, but the best students, with some exceptions, are more often than not the ones with heavy parental involvement. Something as simple as reading with your child goes a long way towards their academic achievement.
Then again, my mom never read with me.

Yeah, seeing such things just makes me wish that IQ tests were manditory, where if your score was below a certain range for your age, you were to be sedated and sterilized.
In my province, not so many years ago, this was the case. Anyone clasified as 'legally retarded' was taken by the government and sterilized. Big lawsuits and such now.
