Better still, if you have nothing to offer to the conversation, just keep your mouth shut. Seems some have to attempt to get into a discussion although they have nothing to contribute. Most college profs can detect the depth of knowledge one has on the subject. They will encourage or discourage participation. Take the opportunity to shut up.
Cuntry has not learned just a hell of a lot. If he would refrain from entering when he has nothing to add, we wouldn't know how dense he really is. He has just added himself to those of us who have multiple degrees within the past few months. He will never reveal his area of study, but he has stated he has a WVU degree. Totally runs from the challenge to produce a copy of his certification. Will attempt to bluff. and it cannot be verified one way or the other since he hides behind multiple computer names. I do believe that the current idiot is a bit smarter than the one I originally engaged with using Cuntry signature. Yes, the original was a bit more lacking than the current one - if possible.
Take your own advice, dumbass.
What is that sentence supposed to mean? You are illiterate.
I have only had one username on this board. I've never posted under another name so I have no idea what the hell you are suggesting.
There are always going to be bad ones. Hopefully they get weeded out. Education is a good thing for as many people that can afford it. Even in courses dedicated to subjects like Sociology, most of my professors were eager to hear ALL opinions and encouraged multiple perspectives in order to truly understand topics and concepts. To begin a narrative that tries to degrade higher education as a negative, that's just crazy. Please don't.
Nobody cares what you do. You are clearly an idiot. But for you to call someone out like you did devildog considering I live in your head rent free is comical.
I always found the profs that i had "in depth" discussions with, and there were more than a couple would grade my work better than what it was. I know when I do B or C work and that was sometimes the case, but after articulating disagreement in a respectful manner or facilitating debate within the class, that B or C work would usually turn into an A. Obviously this isn't a 100% but typically revolved around things I had direct knowledge about and was interested in. If the subject entertained me, I'd often just play devil's advocate to see what I could posture as acceptable opinion.
Higher education in America is a farce these days. STEM is the only marginally worthy avenue for studies.
So, you are the one he got "live in head" from. Plainly it is above him as an original thought.
There is no college that would allow him to steal thinking from another. He gets caught on here stealing from other people, and we are not quiet as strict as are college profs who require essay form of answers on assignment or tests. The boy does not have the capacity to think for himself. No way in hell he has degree from a college with recognition.
What could have possibly been a field of study that he could master? Damned sure is not in business. Social Study instructors require original thinking. Education would be over his head. Community college takes a little pride in their grading scale. Do they still have college degrees offered on back of matches box? Don't know about their requirements, but sounds like a potential. Anything lower than that for the boy? He just doesn't belong.
I'm just a big dumb old sponge wanting to absorb some knowledge.
How is STEM ignorance? Explain the ignorance please <link
I believe people benefit from a thorough education in many areas. Arts, history, humanities, sociology, civics, etc.... Higher education seeks to establish a learning in fields outside of ones chosen professional track. STEM focus, although not bad education by any means, seeks to narrow educations focus into a limited number of fields. We all benefit from the understanding of art and history. Once these areas of focus are pushed out of the educational process successfully, it becomes easier for people to be manipulated by an ideology founded in ignorance.
For example, Bushy Beaver seeks a more regimented focus on STEM education, but he also believes women shouldn't have been given the right to vote. IQ ratings in Africa are a result of "science" and not socioeconomic conditions. And anyone opposed to his own conservative political views hate America. I'd argue that a comprehensive understanding of art and history would help rid us of minds like his. Conservative or liberal, denying women the right to vote, or not recognizing the effects of socioeconomic status on learning, is just ignorant. Hence my post.
I'm for removing your right to vote as well. Also, why do you have verifiable scientific data?
I see now you were focusing on Brushy's use of 'only' but I'll go ahead and point out that most top shelf jobs in the US are STEM related. There is a limit to how much money a free society will spend on philosophers. Not enough return on investment if you have to many thinkers of thought on the collective payroll.
But just because someone is a business major, doesn't mean they don't benefit from philosophy. That was my point. Education shouldn't ONLY be about professional preparation, it should be about developing good thinkers, good citizens, and good neighbors.
99 out of 100 people that enroll in college don't belong there. College these days is little more than a scam to extract money from the young and naive.
I pointed out that your were referring to ONLY. You don't have to reemphasize it on my account. Haha. Philosophy (Ethics) is one of the few classes in which I got an A.
I very much agree about philosophy being intertwined with warfare and business. Art? Mehhhh, not so much. Understanding and being able to size up my enemy in warfare and in business has always been extremely important to me. I like to know and understand who I'm killing, literally and figuratively.
I see both sides, with information as readily accessible in this country as it is, I see less of a need for forced exposure through elective requirements. Prior to 98 when everyone was on dial up and we didn't have an endless internet to satisfy our curiosity? Sure.
Teaching is not a profession that should be treated with such indifference. If you think bad professors exist on college campuses, imagine how many are writing copy for the internet.
It sounded to me from your post that the internet is somehow a substitute for being properly instructed in art, philosophy, and other electives not directly relevant to ones profession.
Ahhhhhhh, I see how you could read that, let me clarify. I have no issue with those subjects being taught as there are always going to be people who seek to learn that information. My point was forcing them to be included in the curriculum at the college level, and this is mostly related to art, is outdated. For most people, that's the only reason they are taking them.
The idea unless I'm mistaken is to ensure exposure to a variety of subjects. My point was the art and 100s of years of interpretation of that art is easily attainable for the casual interest on the internet if one is so inclined. If someone wants to pursue something in that field, sure, take the classes in college.
Forcing that stuff into the curriculum via elective requirements with information as easily attainable as it is today, in my opinion is pointless.
It's not just exposure though. It's meant to provide students with a somewhat comprehensive understanding of the world around us. And you discount the power of art. Come on, you're a Panic fan, surely you understand the importance of soulful excercise?
"Illicit" means doing something shady or illegal, Dog. "Elicit" means to provoke a response. An old coot like you ought to know better.
As for Priddy, Boomboom, that surname equates being a hair slow in the part of the state I hail from. Not all of them, but a decent proportion of the males. "Pulling a Priddy" meant doing something particularly goofy when I was young. They're nice folks, but don't pay much attention to them unless you can confirm what they're saying. The problem is you usually can't, as they don't know what the heck they're talking about most of the time.
I knew two of the brothers that saw the landing lights pop up on a plane approaching Yeager Airport down towards Scott Depot and thought it was a UFO before they were wised up. I witnessed that rare double Priddy in the parking lot of the old roller rink. Another from the Greater 34 Ridge branch claimed to have seen a Bigfoot out on Heizer Creek one night taking the shortcut home one night, the legendary Heizer Creek Monster itself! That "monster" was a handful of bears that worked the garbage piles out that way. The moonshiners and later weed growers over there started that "monster" story back in the 60's to keep the slow and nosy from knocking around, as bears had started moving back into that area after the mines began shutting down in the 50's. Prime Priddy bait. Priddy's are an entertaining bunch if you don't take them seriously.
I don't know why you guys are fighting over this B.S. when we're playing a team known far and wide as the "Gobblers" next Sunday? There are so many variations of insults that can created from that nickname alone. Time is running short! Get your asses to the football and smack boards, there's work to be done!
