    I'm questioning my education
    Is my education who I am now?
    While you're deciding, I've been finding
    Looking around in the here and now.
    If I've been taught from the beginning
    Would my fears now by winning?

    I'm questioning my own equation
    Is my own equation relevant somehow?
    The flags are waving, the news is breaking
    See the man who can't pick out his own tie
    If I've been taught from the beginning
    Would my fears now be winning?
    A wild world, figuring out the answers
    I'll be in my own dance and I, I, yeah, I, I....
    I'm questioning my education
    Rewind and what does it show?
    Could be, the truth it becomes you
    I'm a seed, wondering why it grows

    You don't need to have bachelors and masters or PhDs to appreciate the importance of education and "preach".... another pointless thread just like the one you started about PJ being rude :rolleyes:

    if they don't have college degrees does it invalidate what they say about higher learning?

    i don't think so.

    In all honesty I don't think a Bachelor's in anything means anything these days. I have a BS in Psych and I work in Finance. While the BS in Psych comes in handy in interpersonal relationships I can't say it's really handy in the actual field I work in, So it's not really fair to gauge anyone on the degree they hold,

    I read this thread feeling totally neutral but I feel compelled to say I'm leaning towards Spinbrett's side here.

    He did just ask a simple question and instead got a bunch of comments that didn't answer it.

    The point is, there was nothing in his original post that indicates he is somehow criticizing any member of the band for having or not having a degree.

    People need to chill out.

    Maybe we are just biased because of the ridiculous thread you started earlier about the band being rude because they made fun of the president among other things, and how you get banned for being rude but the band can get away with it....

    I thought I read that Eddie went back and got his GED (not easy to do once you get out of the habit of studying and what not). I also think Jeff took some classes at a Univ. in Montana before his move to Seattle (but not sure)

    Eddie seemed like he read a lot (probably still does) and often used to quote authors in his interviews. I found about Howard Zinn while reading an old Eddie interview. So I guess he taught me something :)
    I wish a guy like Eddie, would like me.

    You don't have to have a degree to be educated. A degree is just a peice of paper saying you completed the required courses.

    One thing I know they are educated in and that is music.

    thank you keiran....ya, I heard Jeff was enrolled in college even in the early years oj PJ. I was just curious as to what field they got into etc. Ed has always used high level similes, metaphors, quotes, etc. I was wondering if he had a degree in english/philosophy etc. Plus, I wonderif any of them plan to go back to school? Or are they done?

    "hey everyone i just wanted to know if anyone in PJ has some sort of degree?"
    is not what he said though... I might be flaming him when he had no ill intentions with his post... but his post didnt sound like he was just asking a question.... but that's just my opinon which counts as much as his does..

    "Rats"

    they don't eat, don't sleep
    they don't feed, they don't seethe
    bare their gums when they moan and squeak
    lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
    they don't push, don't crowd
    congregate until they're much too loud
    fuck to procreate till they are dead
    drink the blood of their so called best friend
    they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
    don't pack themselves together and run as one
    don't shit where they're not supposed to
    don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
    they don't scam, don't fight
    don't oppress an equals given rights
    starve the poor so they can be well fed
    line their holes with the dead ones bread
    they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
    don't pack themselves together and run as one
    don't shit where they're not supposed to
    don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...
