Mostly joking...

But seriously, how hard WOULD it be to take over a small state or even a small country and claim it as a mutant homeland? Or even do it diplomatically, just assign a "homeland". I mean, they did it with Israel back half a century ago, what's to say that couldn't be done for a mutant homeland?

Not that I'd advocate it - I mean, look how horribly it's gone over in the Middle East - but really, who thinks it couldn't be a feasible occurrence in the next, oh, twenty years?

Right. Grew up in Hell and all that, my bad.

In summary: I think humans and mutants living in a mixed society is a better idea. Sticking a bunch of people somewhere where they can all exclude the rest of the world because they're different leads to feelings of resentment. It's like the stupid high school cliques, but with nukes.

Well, more like, I'm not a super-genius like everyone else, and you all have this habit of saying things I have no context for. But now I get it.

Your opinion is acceptable. Actually I think I quite agree.

Believe me, there's plenty of people here who aren't super-geniuses. It's not like you're in a minority.

Yes, but I can't stand most of them.

Kidding (well, I mostly wasn't, but I'll pretend) aside, there are an inordinate number of really, really smart people here. As well as a fair number of morons, so it probably balances out.

Yep. No super-genius over here.

STAND UP AND BE COUNTED, THOSE OF AVERAGE INTELLECT!
