    You dot think lawyers are scum.  Lawyers in Alabama were responsible for a man spending 36 years in prison for stealing 50 dollars.  I can guarantee there are plenty more like that are sitting and rotting because of fucking lawyers...
    And lawyers got him released.

    Are those lawyers scum, too?

    Perhaps angry potheads would be selfish to have kids?
    Donno, just seeking some sort of return to topic.

    Who do you consider educated?  The person who tried kindergarten felt it wasn't for them and dropped out, the grade 8 dropout, the high school drop out, someone with grade 12?  Got news for some of you there are people with less formal that is talented and amazing.  I worked with a fellow ... grade 8 education ...  He could fix and repair any vehicle, he pulled 50 grand a year.

    What about tradespeople, many of them would shock you with how much they make.

    What about farmers.  Many have very little education...but they run farms and feed us.

    What about truck drivers?  If you gotta, a truck brought it in most cases.









    Fucking hell.  Sorry that I can't get it to separate 
    I don't view that sort of comment about the grade level, but more about people acting like idiots and showing that they are "uneducated"
    My CEO never went to college.
    I don't put an emphasis on schooling, but on how someone behaves.
    .guessing the same for Brian, but he can answer that.
    You do know that there are plenty of well educated people who act like idiots daily and lack common sense.  I worked 25 years in schools around teachers and I have plenty oif stories of teachers being idiots...

    And as far as I'm concerned you can throw all the money you at womans causes to try to get them to have kids...which is bullshit.  Most of these cuntries where women have lots of children because children are their social safety net...in countries with no real social programs, the children look after their parents in thgeir golden years.

    And my point stands...you are an elite if you think your university eduacation trumps other skills...

    And one skill that I truely believe is hard work...

    I'm 53, grade 12, retired at 51, took a couple years off, decided it was time to get a job, took 2 weeks to land the job I wanted at a company that I believe in in an industry I fully support, I work for a Cannabis company.  I could easily outwork anyone with a university degree.  Come with me for a night.  I get paid good money.  See I got an rare skill these, called work ethic... The work ethic has gone missing lately And I work hard and my job is far more important than any banker, insursance con and scumbag lawyer.  

    Would I want to sit at a desk and shuffle papper work.  Fuck no.  

    Get a job that matters


    First, I'm not sure what makes you want to brag about your profession as being 'better' than anyone else's. 

    Next, your suggestion that work ethic is a skill is wrong. Your work ethic is something worth being proud of, but that's character, not skill. 

    Finally, are you suggesting that having a desk job somehow means your work doesn't matter? I really hope not, as that's false.

    One more last thing.. Who's saying university education trumps other skills? It opens doors, teaches you to learn, equips you to pick up skills easier, and helps you understand the foundations behind the skills you want to know, but it doesn't pay the bills. Essentially, education helps your odds of success but it's still up to a person to walk the walk.

    Is it elitist to trust that your doctor, your dentist, your optometrist, your accountant knows more than you because they got a college education?

    You may or may not have some good points here but I'd need an interpreter to know for sure. 
    Dude.  I do not care what your opinion is.  As far as I'm concerned you are elites...so go be pissed off at someone else.  I read that somewhere.  Jeesh.  By the way, I can go back and forth all day.
    Where did I say I was pissed off?  I'm elites?  What's that?  Where are you going back and forth to?

    I've only ever done that once, and not on this site.  I try to rely on my own self-control.
