I haven't posted much in this thread because it seemed to go in a different direction. That being said no one really seems to get the point, your all looking at the difference between GPA and wealth, it's about redistribution. It's unfortunate that you do not understand. If redistribution works for something as important as a man's means of feeding himself and his family, we shouldn't have a problem using it in other areas to better our lives. Such as education.

I'm pretty sure everyone understands your point; most of us just don't think it's a good one.
stop telling me i do not get it. i get it perfectly fine. it is a very very bad example you have brought up.
you can talk to me til you are blue in the face and you will never get me to agree with your viewpoints. sorry, but that is how i feel. you think you are right, i and many others on here think i am. in the scheme of things it doesn't matter. if you don't like how it is voice your opinion with your vote or your congressman. until then, do not volunteer your time or help others and then bitch and moan about it. i am sure those you are "helping" would not want your help if they knew how you felt about it.

Nowhere in any of the history of my posts have I said that volunteering TIME is a bad thing or something that I have complainted about. Nice try though. Typical AMT tactic, Can't come up with a counter point so you lie about what the poster supports.
I always hear from you liberals that "They don't have the opportunity to make money"
So why not support GPA redistribution? I could just as easily say
"Well some people don't have the opportunity to focus on school and have to work a job or two while others don't"

I know a guy who's a genius. He could easily have schooled his own teachers, BUT, because he's such a bad people person (or ass kisser ) He barely gets by working in retail, and strangely enjoys his job..
On the other hand you can have people without college educations steal and cheat their way to the top (Bill Gates).
This is why capitalism is fucked.
I don't care how hard you are working, if you are making 10x more than the lazy ass, that's still too much. Like a minimal wage there should be a maximum wage. If you are only being successul for the money and not the craft then you don't deserve it and I'm sure we can find better doctors and atheletes and so on who care more about what they do than numbers they make.
I really don't think any human being is worth more than a few hundred thousand a year to society, or less than a few dozen thousand..
If you want to work hard, you make twice as much as the guy who doesn't work hard. Not millions more.
yeah....this is good.
now allow us to put this into pearl jam logic.
pearl jam should only make twice as much as creed. (or insert any band you wish)
live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

this is most certainly true, however a few points of GPA could mean the difference between graduating or not...which I think we can all agree having at least a high school diploma is necessary to find halfway decent work...
But overall I think this analogy is terrible. It makes no sense and isn't nearly the same thing...

Your telling me that your H.S. GPA is irrelevent to getting into a good college or college in general. So are you saying its irrelevent to an employer if 1.canidate when to college 2. canidate did not attend college?
You said your in the medical field right? WOuld you hire someone for your job with a degee in that field or a H.S. diploma?
this is most certainly true, however a few points of GPA could mean the difference between graduating or not...which I think we can all agree having at least a high school diploma is necessary to find halfway decent work...
yes, it also makes a difference if you're trying to get into graduate school.
I can sort of understand the reasoning behind the analogy, but it doesn't have a similar societal impact.

If redistribution works for something as important as a man's means of feeding himself and his family, we shouldn't have a problem using it in other areas to better our lives. Such as education.
Here's just a straight answer to your question. No, it's not okay to redistribute a person's GPA. However, I would be for wealth redistribution for the reason you stated, 'feeding himself and his family' if things have taken that bad of turn to where it's becoming impossible.
I feel that we should want to have a minimum standard of life to protect our citizens, and if eating and shelter is based off of the means of wealth, then we should be able to have our citizens protected to at least get that distributed to them.
As for the GPA, that's a personal achievement to better yourself from that minimum standard of life for you, yourself to build upon.
Everyone needs to watch it with the "you liberals" "fool" etc., I could look for more but I'm sure I'd find more.
It's quite alright to ignore a thread unless you have something you want to discuss. Don't get personal with the other person, just stick to the issue. See Posting Guidelines and take good care of each other.

gaining and obtaining welth isn't a personal acheivement? If everybody had equal GPA's distributed to them, then we could all have equal opportunities to look for a job. if we did that we would not have the excuse makers on this board saying its not fair to inner city school kids because they have to help raise their family by working all the time.
I haven't read the whole thread (sorry, had to skim) but I'm thinking about how wealth has already been redistributed. Now how does it get redistributed in the other direction? Is that a valid question? There's so much disparity and it's getting worse all the time and harder to live. How is that fixed? GPA won't fix it. The word "power" comes to mind...who has the power? Who had the power to make it so lop-sided now?
I won't have time to keep posting but I just wanted to express a few thoughts on this topic.

I didn't say they'd be gaining and obtaining wealth on an equal level. We just have to set a minimum level to protect our way of life since we use monetary value as our means to trade for food and shelter. This is to provide for the minimum base of life...hardly a gain of wealth. The GPA is a stepping stone to furthering yourself to gaining MORE wealh which nobody is going to hold against you. What anyone wants to do to further themselves beyond this point is up to them, whether it's school, sports, art, family shop, etc.
Just like you're asking me if it's okay, and I give you an answer...it just doesn't seem to be an answer you want me to have. So is it okay to you for anything to have differentiating circumstances?
By the way, since when is working to provide for your family an excuse? Sometimes that situation exists to where they've got things hard for them and their focus of survival takes to a different scope of life, therefore education will be on the backburner. This is a whole different subject to start talking about though. I don't get what this has to do with your question? This is a whole new monster to discuss.

Take a look at the number of self made millionares... Not saying they got there due to GPA or College but lets not act as if all wealth is passed down. My father was able to obtain wealth by his school and GPA, which in turn made that an importatn part of my life and hopefully I will be able to obtain wealth and my college and H.S. & college GPA will have alot to do with that, considering thats what my employer said. If you redistribute GPA you will allow kids in innercity school who have to support their family to have the same equality as kids who study all day long. Then there will be no more excuses as for why public schools H.S. graduation rates are so low, and these kids will be able to go to college. Once in college these kids can get their GPA redistributed to them by the scientists and engineeres and will look equalt to all employers. Thus landing a job will be much more in their favor.
Why are you all acting so selfish over something that your earned? Some people don't have the time or opportunity to studay all day, and many don't have the same resources as wealthy families. Quit being so selfish and give them just a little bit of your hard earned GPA.

I said this back on page 2, but you ignored it:
The more I think about it, if you want to use your analogy, sure lets try it...
If I had a 3.23 GPA, and we were to use a proportional scale to take away points and redistribute to the lower GPA recipients in regards to welfare amounts, lets see here...
I would have a about a 3.2 GPA after the reduction. So, yeah, I'd be willing to give it up if it helped someone else. And I know what you're probably gonna say: they didn't deserve it because it was a reward, and it will make them ill qualified for life/job.
I do like to share when it doesn't hurt me too much. I like helping people.

As I said previously, I get his point, and the analogy is a reach. But, you would not wind up with a 3.2 in this scenario of stretching an analogy that you don't like. You'd wind up with a 2.5. You don't lose less than 1% in this ridiculous analogy. You need to lose 33% or more. Even at 2.5, you're only losing 23%. Remember, you're not giving to just 1 person. The top 2% need to raise up the bottom 40% who give nothing.
We all like helping people. But, what's fair?

I completely understand his analogy too -- I was making the analogy of GPA vs. monetary deductions that the average person pays to welfare or govt assisatnce in the course of a year (I'm sorry, but you are completely wrong, unless we are talking about two different things here -- the amount or % that is taken from my paycheck for govt assistance programs is absolutely nowhere near 33%!)

OP: when you say redistribution, which part of the redistribution set of ideas are you particularly against?
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
I didn't say they'd be gaining and obtaining wealth on an equal level. We just have to set a minimum level to protect our way of life since we use monetary value as our means to trade for food and shelter. This is to provide for the minimum base of life...hardly a gain of wealth. The GPA is a stepping stone to furthering yourself to gaining MORE wealh which nobody is going to hold against you.

The top 2% need to raise up the bottom 40% who give nothing.
We all like helping people. But, what's fair?
so you agree it's a silly notion to redistribute GPA...? glad we cleared things up... :thumbup:
But is giving money or GPA really helping their cause? It may temporarily but we need life long solutions not band-aids.
I completely understand his analogy too -- I was making the analogy of GPA vs. monetary deductions that the average person pays to welfare or govt assisatnce in the course of a year (I'm sorry, but you are completely wrong, unless we are talking about two different things here -- the amount or % that is taken from my paycheck for govt assistance programs is absolutely nowhere near 33%!)
