Are College Students Really This Dumb?

[EdwinAMartin]

Unkatore: You haven't checked the financials of most churches recently, have you?

Most barely get by. The average compensation for pastors is very low. Many don't receive any compensation at all. And, pastors like Joel Osteen don't receive a salary at all, and hasn't since 2005, when his first book became a best seller, and he flows the standard set by Billy Graham that pastors who do well publishing then forgo salaries and live off thier book incomes. Osteen for instance averages $12-$15 million, per book, in advances from publishers like Warner Books and others, and has over 40 best sellers or so to date.

Yeah, yeah, everyone knows you lefties hate religion. The FACT is that conservatives give much more to charity than liberals. That includes getting off one's ass and actually doing things for people.

I am not a lefty. But I have been on the governing board of more than one church. The majority of church funds go to maintain the church, the preist/rector/Big Swamee/and internal church functions.

Admission for you perhaps. Your church doesn't go through its numbers with the membership at least annually?

I love it that Trump said Gavin can't be President because he has a learning disability. Dyslexia. Everything about him is stupid he said.

Donald! That's what everyone loves about you! You come off as a dope. Your supporters like that about you. Makes them feel like you are one of them. No one thinks you are super bright. They just THOUGHT you were brighter than Kalama. Turns out, AGAIN, you are not. Should have voted for Hillary, I mean Kamala, I mean Gore.

Not even one tenth the Dope you are, 'sealy buthead' ... !!!

As a resident manager I have observed grad students for forty years. They have changed dramatically over that time, from being cheerful and helpful to being depressed and thoughtless. So sad.

they went from academically educated to socially educated, this women [if in fact true] is the goal of a social eduction.

Society has been sexualized since the 1960's. It is now being feminized to the point where men want to become women and real men are considered barbarians.

True.
The sexual revolution (with help from the pill).
Drugs.
Increased college attendance.
The Vietnam war, and protests.
Civil Rights Acts and the welfare state.
Death of JFK, RFK, Martin Luther Jr.
Death of Buddy Holly.
Shouting replaces singing (The Beatles, etc).
Black angus cattle begin to replace Herefords.

Increased college attendance.

decreased education

 

[Woodznutz]

decreased education

True. Just perusing high school yearbooks from the twenties reveals what would be college level academics today.

 

[postman]

one of them?...well those numbers are easy to look up....but this you cant look up,only postal people have one...whats your stigley number?...

I don't have a "stigley" number.
I have an ACE (advanced computer environment) ID
An employee ID number (used TACS, LiteBlue, Employee leave line etc)

You'll have to explain what a "stigley" number is, since not even BLUE has an entry for it.

Most Americans in the 20s did not go past eighth grade
In WWI, Illiteracy was a major challenge with draftees




Draft testing revealed the issue

The Army administered intelligence and literacy tests to millions of recruits.

• About 25% of recruits were considered illiterate or had very low reading ability
• Many couldn’t:
  • Read instructions
  • Fill out forms
  • Understand written commands

The 1920"s was a watershed decade for education in the U.S.

Much of the illiteracy was that of the increased number of immigrants.

Not everyone in the post office carries mail.
There is everyone who moves it, sorts it, sells it, protects it, and plans it.
To get it to the carriers for delivery.

You said I didn't work for the post office.

Are you going to apologize about that?

Man up, admit you were not just wrong, but you openly spread that lie.

Now man up.
