I don't like college-educted people.

Education has become credentialism and that is the problem.

More like a loansharking scam and then brainwashing agendas, even in the 'science' depts.

The real important things should be taught in grade school. That's when kids are most impressionable. By the time a student enters college they should be fully able to manifest the pillars of knowledge of a sound society.

Yep. If they have no sense of right and wrong by age 8, they will probably never develop one.

I don’t like college educated people much and I will tell you why:

Don’t you just love college-educated people? Where would we be without them? I read Intellectuals and Society by Thomas Sowell in 2009 and have never looked at scholarly leadership the same way since. Here is an example of educated incompetence I noticed that started a war, lead to the Arab spring, and eventually the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001:

April Glaspie, President George H. W. Bush’s Ambassador to Iraq, an eminently educated US diplomat traveled to Iraq in 1990 on a fact-finding mission to discover why Saddam Husein was massing troops along the border of Kuwait. Saddam was not an English-speaker, so he used interpreters in those meetings. You would think that a highly educated person like Glaspie would have taken that into account in a very important meeting like that. But Glaspie was not just an educated person, she was a box checking female or what would be referred to today as a sparkling early icon of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The highlight of the meeting was Glaspie uttering that “the US has no opinion on Arab/Arab affairs”, which Saddam took as a promise that the US would do nothing substantial other than diplomatic condemnation. Saddam promptly invaded Kuwait.

You do not have to be genius to see where that educated ineptitude led—the Gulf War, the Arab Spring, and 3,000 casualties in New York City. The real travesty was that Glaspie was not fired. She was promoted and given more responsibilities reserved for educated elites.

A lot of people are dead so educated elites can have great jobs, but I guess it is what it is.

So you “don’t like” doctors and nurses?

Garbage in equates to garbage out. Brilliance and problem solvers lead to brilliant government and problems being solved.

We know the solutions to most of our problems. We just don't like those solutions. They're not glitzy enough.

It’s not “college education” anymore, it’s college indoctrination.

College Education is supposed to be about giving young adults the tools they need to handle various problems they encounter the real world.
It's really not doing that in a lot of places in America these days.
I got a real one, I did, thank The Lord, and right before, even AS it was being subverted. Clinton did something and campus population exploded by 200% and 180% of that were not college material. (numbers just pulled outta my ass, never saw their tests, OH! They stopped having to take them for admission, but judging by their performance, a reasonable estimate)

So, looking down your nose at those looking down their nose? A nose loop?

I do not suffer fools gladly, true. The prevailing attitude among far too any leftists is that the mere fact that they are leftists makes them superior intellectually which is a very stupid assumption since intelligence and education are quite independent of political orientation.

Yes, I do look down on such people.

So you ARE a hypocrite.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

So you ARE a hypocrite.

The issue wasn't of people's looking down their noses. It was looking down their noses while being utterly uneducated and stupid, all the time relying on the illusion that their conforming to leftist talking points somehow made them superior.

You would have understood that were you not looking for an opportunity to attack me.

Engineers, mathematicians, scientists, architects, planners, physicists, computer doods, shipwrights, logistics doods, plant designers etc. etc.

Kind of a strange view.

 

[Unkotare]

The issue wasn't of people's looking down their noses. ...

...

Then why did you say it?

 

[Unkotare]

... It was looking down their noses while being utterly uneducated ...

You said you were talking about college educated people. By definition they are educated.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

You said you were talking about college educated people. By definition they are educated.

First, you short quoted me and then you claim I indicated something I did not say.

You are really getting desperate.

 

[Unkotare]

....you claim I indicated something I did not say.

...

What?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

What?

Kindly show where I said I was talking about the college educated?

I mentioned no such thing. You are lying.

Are you actually so stupid that you think all the leftists here are college educated?

Not all college graduates are liberal arts majors

What about all the medical professionals, engineers, MBAs etc?
