Let me guess.. After graduating high school (if you even done so), you realized that you had reached the max educational learning potential for yourself. With no real life dreams or aspirations, you just decided to join the work force for who ever was hiring with enough wages for you to survive. Looking at all of your supervisors and better off friends with degrees, you've grown this overall hatred of jealously and self failure towards education. As a result, you ridicule the education system in order to try to make yourself seem not as worthless to society.

Given the fact that there are many jobs that require you to simply have a bachelors degree, any reasonable person would not call it a "meaningless accomplishment".

It's ok, we get it, you failed at life and by other posters being successful, it brings internal pain towards yourself.


You clearly don't know what Uglysasquatch does for a living.

So what you're saying is that your post was a meaningless and dumb attempt to insult Ugly?
Or did you just copy/paste that from somewhere?

Copy/paste? lol, of course not. I'm flattered. I was merely doing what I've been doing to him for quite some time, just reversing his posts.

Yea, I somehow doubt that. I'm pretty sure my "image" is already set. Thanks for the care though.

P.S. Besides, by reversing, I mean simply saying the same nonsense to him that he's saying to me, which would mean that he is also looking retarded. Of course that isn't true, going back to my "image" statement above.

If someone makes a rational statement, and you reply with "I know you are, but what am I", who looks like a child?

Not only that, I wasn't doing a "I know you are, but what am I". I was merely reversing his posts, if that includes a post of him insulting me, then so be it, but that wasn't the focus. So, if you didn't catch on until the insult post, that wasn't my fault.

I agree with your statement of those students going to school because of their parents, but those kids aren't typically paying for school. His argument is that students drop out of school because they don't want to pay for something that they don't care about.

As I said in my previous post, even in the case of social pressure, students aren't just dropping out of school because they lost interest, they dropped out because they failed out.

I know it sounds trivial, but when they lose interest does make a big difference in our argument. He is trying to portray that the biggest reason why students drop out of college is because they lost interest. I'm arguing that the biggest reason is because they failed out. When you consider the students who went to college due to social pressure, they probably never had the interest to begin with.


It is trivial. The entire argument is trivial. Here is what your argument looks like:

Ugly: The sky is blue.

Alma: No, Ugly. The sun is setting right now, so the sky is a shade of red lightening gradually to pink.

Ugly: Sure, but over there in the East, the sky is blue. See?

Alma: No, Ugly, you were facing the West. The sky in the West is red. Just admit you're wrong.

Ugly: But... I'm not wrong. The sky really is blue. Look, it's blue.

Alma: The sun is setting. The sky is red. Now you're trying to change your argument, but it's really red. Do you know why the ocean is blue?

Ugly: I'm not talking about the ocean, you moron. I'm talking about the sky. And it's blue.

Alma: Just answer the question, Ugly. I have a point, but you won't answer my question.

Ugly: STFU...


Smiley: lol

Add in a few more "Answer my question" lines, and you've got his argument with gbaji in that other thread.


Don't forget a few "Please explain" lines.

I guess you're counting nearly all medical jobs as hard science? Law? Teaching? Some pretty good jobs there that require degrees, not to mention all of the employers that require degrees simply because they want someone with an education.

Of course "no job worth having" is quite a qualifier, and a purely subjective one at that.

Let's be clear on this part. Most of those companies require degrees to filter people out. The job itself does not require a degree for any sort of reasonable success. Hence, the emphasis on required.

I literally laughed out loud.

Crap, someone should have told those doctors that they are wasting time going to "Med School", because any Joe Schmo can do that out of high school. Law school? Pfft. who needs it? LOL.. you're funny.

Lost again i see. Moe's statement gave an exclusion for some fields, being hard sciences. Maybe I'm off, but I would put Doctors in that area. I think Moe's statement is a little off if considered to be absolute, but in general it applies.

You're hung up on your degree though and think it makes all the difference in the world. I however, know that my degree means very little, despite working in the field it directly applies to. It's an advantage, but absolutely not required.
