    Something something lib'rul media something something fake news something something facts and book learning is fer coastal elites something something
    The age of Trump.

    When people can say stupid stuff like this and think they have a valid point.

    "One word: Professors. Lol.  Too funny.  Like anyone should care what academics that couldn't cut it in the real world say."  
    Burn your books! Close the schools! We don't need no....


    Beware of any groups that vilify academia or higher learning.


    It's almost as if no one has learned anything from history.

    Yeah, and while we're at it, let's throw some gas on stay at home parents. Just fucking losers who can't get a job.
    You guys might need to go back to school if you have a difficult time understanding what I was saying.  It was nowhere close to what crazy extent you took it to.

    Teachers teach.  Doers do.  Sometimes they cross, but often times those that take shelter in academia have a lot of non-real world applicable knowledge. And while they can teach us things, they can't actually apply things.  That's for the doers.  So, the fact that 1,000 liberal lawyers that take shelter in such bastions of impartiality as academia thinks or says something is completely nonsensical

    Furthermore, I'll give you the bigger hint - how many lawyers are there? 1,000 saying something seems like there's a large amount NOT saying that.  

    Now, before your simpleness takes that to an extreme, no that does not mean the rest agree or don't agree.  But, as many say about Trump's supporters - just because you're the loudest doesn't make you right. It just makes you the loudest.
    I take issue with your statement that teachers don't apply things.  That may have been true when you were in school but education has changed dramatically, especially in high school.  Teachers teach, true, but teachers teach students to apply their knowledge to real-world situations so they CAN understand why decisions, past and present, impact us moving into the future.  This nomination will lead our country down a path that it will be hard to recover from because we are allowing one political party to control the country with few checks on their power.  That is a dangerous precedent to set.

    I would also contend that your point about the UN is accurate in that they have no power but this is only because the 5 security council members can veto any issue, for any reason, at any time.  Changing that could change the course of the world but that would mean the US is no longer in control of world affairs and we would never allow that.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    Yes, but now with unemployment at its lowest since 1969, there's no way any of this changes until it all collapses again.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Most of the teachers and professors I know were invited back to academia because of their successes in the 'real world'.  These people are
    C-Suite managers, engineers, lawyers and even educators. 

    Further, if we valued education more, paid teachers more, we'd have less Edsons and more riotgrls.

    How nice of Murkowski and Manchin to run cover for each other.  Easier than having a spine, I guess.  These people aren't leaders, they're grifters.
