Yea, but I'm not implying that people are stupid for not having a degree or that a degree is some sort of right of passage in order to have certain opinions.

And, of course, you're free to think that way, but it's a little annoying to hear someone spout off that kind of garbage.

I am confused.
IQ is a measure of a persons intelligence, not how “smart” they are.

Intelligence can be defined as a persons ability to learn. You can be totally illiterate but still have a high IQ.

I find it difficult to believe that all of the people in sub Saharan Africa have no ability to learn.

Now you're just making stuff up and putting words in my mouth, how typical. Where did I say that people are stupid for not having a degree? The only point I made was that education is important. And you're the one who got bent out of shape over it. I wonder why?

I would argue that it's not important. Especially a higher education, and when a high percentage of students are graduating functionally illiterate.

As you like to say, that's your opinion. I believe it's very important and feel that this forum proves that every day.And I stand by my statement. Those who downplay an education are not very smart, and are most likely unable to earn a degree themselves.

Are there folks out there who haven't received a higher education and are still smart? Sure. Are there folks who did receive a higher education and are still dumb, of course look at Trump there's a perfect example of that.

Let me ask you is it smart to tell someone who you've never met, don't know, where they're from or where they were born?

I personally don't hold a 4 year degree in high regard. I don't think that makes me stupid, but so be it.

I hold a PhD in somewhat high regard, because I know how god awful that can be, and the fact that they went through that kind of torture deserves some respect.

I agree with you on the second part.

I ask you again though. Do you think it's smart to tell people where they're from when you don’t know shit about them other than their political affiliation?

[Strokey_McDingDong]

I am known to stroke it, yes.

Have you ever stroked it using a can of cream of mushroom soup?

Clearly you know nothing about the southeast or America's big cities.

At this point is there anything that isn't?

Let's say for the sake of argument that their were differences in IQ by racial ethnicity. How would you explain that?

I bet if we let ethnics devise an IQ test, Whites and Asians would still score better... because the fact is that that the tests aren't really racist, they're factual but any test that results in disparate outcomes cannot be allowed to exist... because FCUK YOU, RAYCISS!!!

Depends on the school and the subject. If the program included Physics and Organic Chemistry I assume the person to be educated and intelligent. If it was a business degree or some other nonsense, then no, I don't hold it in any regard.

Well you might want to rethink that. All you have to do is read "Dr. Jill Bidens" dissertation and it's obvious that a PhD is pretty fcuking worthless. It's literally garbage. There's a spelling/word error in the second sentence for pete's sake. I would have failed plebe English for turning in a piece of shit like that. 3 spelling errors was an auto fail. Boom done. And she wants to be called Doctor? It is to laugh.

Higher Education is about credentials not intelligence. One of the smartest DB Admins I ever met never went beyond 12th grade. He also built his own computer at the age of seven... so he was just gifted. Point being that credentials do not equal intelligence. If it did, Universities wouldn't be acting like Mao Tse Tung Revolutionary Training Academies. The little fcuks would be too busy with homework to be engaged in radicalism.

Higher Ed. is done in its current format. 120K worth of debt for a sheepskin just isn't worth the opportunity cost.

At the end of the day, once a kid has learned to read, school is just paying people to tell you what books to read. Let's not even get into the curriculum-text book publisher scam. $500 bucks for a text book is ridiculous... what are they printing with, gold ink?
