That's what I thought. I PAY YOUR BILLS. Enjoy the stipend while it lasts.
Those who can't.... vote democrat. (...and teach.)
Interesting use of generalizations. This post is for Electric Delta as well, because he approved of Best of Times' quote so much, he felt the need to applaud.
You do not pay my bills. I work and I get paid. The money that I receive for working then goes to pay my bills. Do you see how that works?
And, the fact that you have some vendetta against college professors and those getting a PhD is strange. Those that I am around, the people I converse with every day, have shown nothing but an open mind with respect to social, political, and cultural issues. I have met and talked frequently with socialists, marxists, conservatives, historians, sociologists, geologists, and many other learned individuals in a wide array of fields, and I am richer for it. These are people who study for a living; they do not watch celebrities dance on TV; the extent of their reading goes far beyond People or US Weekly. I know the stereotypes of "academia" and "academics" and it has been MY EXPERIENCE-if you do not have it, then you can't really judge-that these stereotypes and generalizations are false.
I enrolled in Graduate School because it was something I was interested in doing. I worked in banking and finance, working for large banks and once holding a job as a trader on Wall St., and I was unfulfilled. I find my new direction much more satisfying. How either of you, or anyone on this planet, feel that you have the right to insult my decision or what I do is beyond my comprehension. We are not all gods; though, you think you are.
I would love to hear what the two of you do in your lives that trumps what everyone else on this board does. By the display of self-importance that you both project, you must be saving the world. Like everyone else on this board, 100 years from now, it will be as if you never existed. You are not special, you are not more important than anyone else.
I am sure that you will respond to this post with some clever and witty insult that you will pat yourself on the back for. It is people like you that make dialogue impossible. You have shown time and again that your warped ego is beyond repair, and you feel a constant need to put everyone on this board down with your blowhard opinions. Again, you have clearly shown this.
If you want to continue to throw insults my way (or if you want to continue to insult others on this board), I suggest we meet in person. I think it is time for you to stop being a little child, and man up and stand face to face with someone while insulting them. This hiding behind a screen name fad must come to an end.
I live in upstate New York. If you live nearby or are ever in the area, just PM me and we can arrange to meet somewhere.
If not, then this is the final time I will respond to one of your posts. I prefer the conversations that I have, and that occur, between Godfather, grace under p, Commy, Byrnzie, mikepegg, gimmesometruth, unsung (sure, why not), cajunwiki, and polaris. (If I left anyone out, I apologize, those were the names that first popped into my head). The fact that you lump some of these intelligent individuals together into the AMT's Liberal Front, or the brainwashed Obama supporters is ludicrous. Many of us have shown we do not hold back with our criticism of anyone. And, the claim that we all blindly follow what Ed and the boys think is simply absurd, as all most (all) of your claims.
And, even though those mentioned don't always agree, I can safely say that the conversations are at least civil, and I can say that I learn a few things. Yes, I learn things from other people. Not everyone is as gifted as Best of Times or Electric delta. Oh lord, I wish I knew everything there is to know in the world like those two fine gentlemen do.

It's an honor just being nominated. :?
"sure, why not".......Just my attempt at humor. I find that we sometimes have different opinions, but I still read your posts with interest, and I find myself learning something from what you have to say.

Dude, you need to chill out.
No, I don't. I just don't like seeing people insulting others for no reason. I don't like someone disrespecting the integrity and intelligence of those that I find myself conversing with. It's quite simple.
