I think you are the one that needs to leave. You were the one crying about people having rights and talking about dividing up the country into two pieces.

So you concede I have two degrees and James Woods has none?

Thanks.
Gates dropped out of Harvard, Russ Limbaugh never went to school. Just because you ahve a degree, I have two myself, doesn't mean you are thta smart. I'm living proof of that. Ask my wife.[cheers]

Thanks for the great examples. Let me add another idiot to the list without a degree. Sean Hannity.

Add:
P Diddy, Jay- Z, and Dre.

Lots of super intelligent and ridiculously wealthy individuals who don't have degrees. A degree is not indicative of intelligence, it's a reflection of discipline. It's a key to a locked door of opportunity.

You presumably have a bachelors and a masters and all but a couple of posters on this board run circles around you. You've not given an original idea or thought on this board that isn't a product of what you've heard. You're a parrot at best. In business, I term people like you as The Great Reiterators. No ingenuity, no originality, no vision, just people who nod in affirmation at the truly intelligent in the room. You can't even sling **** at people without using jabs that have been landed on you. With two degrees, you never learned the most important thing in life, how to think for yourself. You're terrified of being wrong. You're terrified of being proven wrong, though you are on a seemingly daily basis. Enjoy mediocrity.

Only about 4% of MLB players have college degrees.

Currently, half of NFL players have college degrees, which is a much better ratio than other major sports leagues.

In 2009, according to data gathered by the New York Times, 21-percent of NBA athletes had earned undergraduate degrees


Some professional football players have a rough time once they retire from the National Football League. Surveys of former NFL players have shown that 78 percent are bankrupt, unemployed or divorced after two years in retirement.

Again, I'm living in your head rent free. I know that's not original but it is a fact. You wrote a whole paragraph attempting to denigrate me and you have no clue who I am, what I do for a living and what my degrees are.

If attacking me makes you feel more important, knock yourself out. You're a sad little man.

Ultra successful was my point. hannity is, he worked a lot of menial jobs to get where he is. He didn't get there because of affirmative action.

No, I never did. Go back and read the thread.
I did, you said let me add another idiiot to the list. I listed Gates, Limbaugh. Maybe you should reread what I posted. I hope you noted that I never attacked you but pointed out you didn't ahve to be a college grad to be ultra successful. I also made fun of myself. Got all that in two lines. Concise and to the point!

It's actually not a fact. In order for that smack to apply correctly, it would mean there are things that you've said to me that have stuck and I'm unable to let go. Me responding to you directly on a message board isn't it. And yet another example of your ignorance.

Affirmative Action was legislation aimed at correcting an imbalance. It was good legislation, and needed substantially. That said....at what point it becomes legislation that CREATES an imbalance, is a vital and complex understanding that requires comprehensive study, imo.

Critical thinking skills should be the focus of every good educator as early as elementary. That college professors do not encourage critical thinking is something those that never attended college assert.

Totally disagree, Mr. Wide Brush. Imo, many (certainly not all) who don't hold a sheep skin assume had they been able to attend college, they would have been encouraged to learn facts and to learn how to process knowledge with logic. False assumption. On the other hand, many who completed college KNOW that openly expressing a point of view counter to a professor can cost one or more letter grades. My advice to aspiring students is to mostly keep your head down or nod in agreement. If one cannot stoop to appearing to agree when put on the spot, they should offer up language such as " You've really given me something to think about." Stroke the prof while keeping a modicum of integrity; everybody wins.
