Like you?

I never mentioned SJL by the way, dimwit.

Typical liberal response? Yow! Never heard that one before

How about putting your money where your big mouth is, dipshit. Prove your "true fact." I'm sure you have plenty of time considering how you've chased all the posters out of Pissburgh!

What a fucking crybaby!

OK, you're now wanting to know whether having a Harvard degree will result in a net loss in value value.

Ask and ye shall receive:

"According to payscale.com, the median starting salary of emerging Harvard undergraduates who work full-time in the United States is $63,400; even without pursuing further schooling, they boast mid-career median salaries of $124,000. Compare these numbers to the median earnings of the average American male—$45,113 in 2007—and the evidence that a Harvard education increases one’s earning potential appears incontrovertible."

The proof is there. You just refuse to see it.

I think being able to buy a degree from a formerly prestigious college is exactly what you libtards like. The good old boy system. I only use SJL as a prime example of what is obviously a bought and paid for degree. It is just more proof. I suppose there are some that actually earned their degrees but may be it is just an extremely expensive diploma mill that has a very high price to join the club.

Yep, Wendy Davis hates the handicapped.

No proof again, topped off with a ridiculous supposition that you can buy an Ivy League degree, just like Dubya did ... Oops.

You're moving up the "liarboard," dipshit.

Nope, they have a better racket going than Alfonso Capone himself had....
Ironically, I help feed into by insulting such fine institutions as the University of Houston by calling it "Cougar High"

I don't know about this debate and the OP. If you don't have a Harvard degree now you will probably never have one.

The OP is about Wendy in Texas. Rather than being a good honest provider she has decided to go into politics and it seems that she is well suited to the job. This time is not her time. Abbott leads her 2 to 1 at this point in time. You could say that Texas is trending Abbott.

Wendy claims to have a Harvard degree, that her sugar daddy paid for and when it was she dumped him.
SJL has a Harvard degree. here a woman that cannot make a complete sentence that is remotely understandable.
Membership has its price. I wonder if she had to suck the dick of a handicapped professor and that could be one of the reasons she hates the handicapped.

Wow! You're so obviously influenced by IBIdiot. This bit of snappy repartee reveals was until recently was so well shrouded. Can't you see the folly of your current course? You're headed (naw, it would be too easy) headlong into the (naw, it would be too easy).

Keep it up, the IDiot family will gladly accept you, dipshit.

Btw -- still no links, proof or anything other than a shriveled up homo's claim that Wendy Davis "hates the handicapped."

SO noted.

That wasn't the issue of discussion Whirlyturd.

so obviously, you disagree with the crybaby 2Pups.

If you agree with him, then you need to help shed some light on the evidence, otherwise, you're as guilty of his lies as he is.

So which one is it, Whirlyturd?
