I'll assume I do then have to explain what my question of James has to do with the subject of the thread that I started.
Here goes. I brought up College Students and pointed out how they are so deranged with no moral compass, to the extent that Bill Maher had to call them out for their disgusting support of Hamas.
James then came on and was defending college students and feebly attempting to call me out about my disdain and overall criticism of college students and their indoctrination into Leftist/Marxist ideology, which they perpetuate and the anti-semitism they've obviously been taught and continue to perpetuate.
So then since James was attempting to defend the college students, I had to assume that he may be as anti-semitic as they have been taught, and so I thought I'd ask what he thought of Hamas, i.e. does he sympathize with Hamas and blame Israel for the vile, despicable attack on the Jews in Israel.?
I noticed that he didn't answer me, so I'm going to assume that since he's defending the very same college students that I find to be detestible, I'll just assume as well that James is siding somewhat with Hamas and since he hasn't commented on it at all in the 2 weeks since the vile murders occurred,
He's free to clear it all up though, by simply making commentary on whom he thinks is in the moral right and who is in the moral wrong, or he can simply answer my very simple question, which is "what do you think of Hamas James"?.
And so, my response and my question of James has virtually everything to do with the topic of this thread.
Now that just begs the questions here so I'll ask.
You could not see the connection? I really had to explain it to you? You couldn't figure that out on your own?
I hope my very specific response here clears up the confusion you seem to have had?
Rich, you entirely missed James' point and you are falling for a media generated meme. James' point is indisputable. An engineering, science, law, medicine, business, finance, computer science, accounting, or many other college degrees are
extremely valuable, and the corresponding professions are simply not available without college. Similarly, mechanics, construction, agriculture, and many other great and lucrative fields are not readily available without post-high school education.
I have sons in engineering and medicine, and we talk a lot. To my knowledge there was no unreasonable social indoctrination, antisemitic or otherwise, included in their college educations. (I say no "unreasonable", because even the Colorado School of Mines has appropriate sessions at the beginning of the term in proper respect for women and minorities, and those sessions were not part of college when I was in school, which is a shame, since campus rape and bigotry were more common then in my opinion).
So your indictment of "college education"; and any suggestion that a smart kid not go to college is really misplaced.
That said, there are crummy majors at many schools, and activist professors at many universities who espouse abhorrent rhetoric. These same professors often seem to be more than willing to stifle dissenting points of view. I favor the market pruning these majors and professors, since I am not willing to quash political speech. Even so, your belief that college is all about social activism and Marxism nowadays is entirely over-stated. Jim
