There is a big difference between seeing the vast extent of

Apparently you've bought into it if you think Gunner gives a

think
it's
amazing. Let me know if you have trouble telling the two apart.


Ah, I see the problem. You need better reading comprehension. I'm
surprised - given the snowflake society that exists called
California
- that the offical snowflakes out there DO go after a school kid
for liking a post and ignore his repeated threats to kill, mame,
and torture people.


Why are they not both caught in the same net? It has nothing to
do with how I think society should be ordered.

My reading comprehension is just fine.

No.

It would appear from your recent
posts you are sniping at Gunner for getting more attention in the
group than you are. We all know you consider yourself to be Alpha
poster in the newsgroup,

Not even close.

but lately all you seem to be doing is trying to hold a
candle to Gunner.

Wieber doesn't emit as much light as a young firefly.

So much so, that you actually regard the snowflakes
feelings as valid.

I don't know what he has said about any supposed "snowflakes", but
you and the rest of the knuckle-draggers have drained the word of
almost all meaning. It basically just means people who oppose your
benighted ****-4-braincell knuckle-dragger views...and that means
all educated and thinking people.

Lol! "all educated and thinking people." excludes liberals.

ANYBODY with half a sack of dead brains can get the same kind of
degree a lazy-assed liberal does. But of what use is a "liberal
arts" degree, or maybe that impressive "african american
studies" degree?

"A liberal arts degree is the laughing stock of college degree
programs for a reason: its not specialized enough to prepare
you for a specific career."

All it does is teach one how to run their mouth and say nothing
meaningful.

In other words, you're ****ing dumb because you're lazy like
your parents.


A Liberal Arts degree may...may get him a job that allows him to ask
"would you like fries with that?" mulitple times a day.

I personally know of two Pomona Pitzer grads with "artsy" degrees, who are
working fast food jobs and living in their cars.

Apparently liberal arts colleges and their "degrees" are not real world.



There are MANY similar degrees. I always use "Elizabethan Poetry of
the 18 Century" or some variation.

That's because you're ignorant. You don't know anything about degrees offered or degree requirements. There is no such degree.


Just how many teachers of this stuff do the students think manage to
find a job each year? At best..maybe 50-500 can find a job....maybe.

How would you know?


Graduating 2500 of them with that degree..is simply ****ing money
down the students leg.

You're behind the times -- by about a half-century. Get yourself up to date:

(from The Wall Street Journal)

"Why I Was Wrong About Liberal-Arts Majors"

"Looking back at the tech teams that Ive built at my companies, its evident that individuals with liberal arts degrees are by far the sharpest, bestÂ*-performing software developers and technology leaders. Often these modern techies have degrees in philosophy, history, and music..."

I'm learning a lot by watching my son's progress. He works for a hedge

competition built into the company's culture. It's both analytical and

are staffed with young people of superior ability. They're subject to
daily critique by their peers and their managers. Their degrees vary

On the tech side the aptitude and perseverance that a degree implies
sometimes mattered more than the subject. I worked with an electronic
designer with a degree in astronomy. One of the department heads at
Mitre had a BS in Chemistry and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering.

My mother worked in a library where -any- degree including Music or
Theatre was essential to be promoted to management.

all educated and thinking people.

Lol! "all educated and thinking people." excludes liberals.

ANYBODY with half a sack of dead brains can get the same kind
of
degree a lazy-assed liberal does. But of what use is a
"liberal
arts" degree, or maybe that impressive "african american
studies" degree?

"A liberal arts degree is the laughing stock of college degree
programs for a reason: it's not specialized enough to prepare
you for a specific career."

All it does is teach one how to run their mouth and say nothing
meaningful.

In other words, you're ****ing dumb because you're lazy like
your parents.


A Liberal Arts degree may...may get him a job that allows him
to ask
"would you like fries with that?" mulitple times a day.

I personally know of two Pomona Pitzer grads with "artsy"
degrees, who
are
working fast food jobs and living in their cars.

Apparently liberal arts colleges and their "degrees" are not real
world.



There are MANY similar degrees. I always use "Elizabethan Poetry
of
the 18 Century" or some variation.

That's because you're ignorant. You don't know anything about
degrees
offered or degree requirements. There is no such degree.


Just how many teachers of this stuff do the students think manage
to
find a job each year? At best..maybe 50-500 can find a
job....maybe.

How would you know?


Graduating 2500 of them with that degree..is simply ****ing money
down the students leg.

You're behind the times -- by about a half-century. Get yourself up
to date:

(from The Wall Street Journal)

"Why I Was Wrong About Liberal-Arts Majors"

"Looking back at the tech teams that I've built at my companies,
it's
evident that individuals with liberal arts degrees are by far the
sharpest,
best*-performing software developers and technology leaders. Often
these
modern techies have degrees in philosophy, history, and music..."

As usual, you've filled your head with nonsense in order to make
excuses for
your own situation in life.--

I knew two Lit majors from my younger days. One retired from the
Navy as a
Lt Cmdr, the other is a VP at J P Morgan Chase.

Apparently, being able to communicate in complete sentences is a
skill that
is appreciated by many employers.

Yes, and it's what got me off the ground with what was then the
world's fourth-largest publishing company.

However, I hesitate to overgeneralize about it. The "critical
thinking" issue is another thing that keeps coming up when employers
talk about why they hire liberal arts majors. I can see that, but it
varies a great deal among individuals.

I'm learning a lot by watching my son's progress. He works for a
hedge
fund now, and there is a very formalized "quality of thinking"
competition built into the company's culture. It's both analytical
and
creative thinking that they evaluate. They pay obscene salaries and
are staffed with young people of superior ability. They're subject
to
daily critique by their peers and their managers. Their degrees vary
by department, but most of the top performers are liberal arts
graduates.

On the tech side the aptitude and perseverance that a degree implies
sometimes mattered more than the subject. I worked with an electronic
designer with a degree in astronomy. One of the department heads at
Mitre had a BS in Chemistry and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering.

My mother worked in a library where -any- degree including Music or
Theatre was essential to be promoted to management.

That's the gist of those articles I linked to a few days ago, and I
think it's more common than many realize. I also have changed my mind
in recent years about the value of going to a top college,
particularly in non-technical areas. My son attended top-notch ones
(Washington and Lee and Georgetown for his graduate degree), and I was
impressed with his critical thinking skills after the experience.
