What happens when dumbasses get to vote

Quote from seneca_roman:


My apologies to you if you do not hold an advanced degree as you write well and for that matter cuss well and my guess is you would be fun to drink with.

Seneca

No degree here yet, I started my first website and started to make what I thought was all the money in the world so I dropped out. Something I have regretted since.
Five years ago I started to take classes again through Harvard Extention, and yes..it's just the extention school, but the quality of the education is excellent and I've managed to pull a 3.4gpa while working full time. I have to find time to do a few semesters in Boston so I can get the real degree, 19 credits to go.

I do cuss well don't I :) Made me laugh, so thank you.

Anyway I guess I did not live up to my "leaving ET". TraderZones must be right, since Tim's only making about $100,000 per month I obviously need the money :) Well, that and I missed talking politics with Thunder. I was starting to worry that the convervatives over here on ET needed a voice of reason to come back and help em out against all you commie pinko traitors :)

Quote from Thunderdog:



As for your Forbes 400 remark, put your money where your mouth is. If that statistic is genuinely meaningful to you, then if you ever choose to have children perhaps you should discourage them from attending school so that they can make it big.

My own money is "sort of" where my mouth is in that I have not yet finished my degree. I'm obviously not even close to being on the 400 either though.

In terms of my own children I want what everyone else probably wants for their kids. For them to be happy and successful, and in our society unless you have an entrepreneurial bent then getting a degree is the fastest and most sure way of getting there. Obviously then that is what I hope for them. One of my most proud moments was when my daughter Alexis told me she was one of only two kids in her entire class who got perfect Fcat.

Which, of course, makes her an authority on matters of foreign policy. You do realize that this was her allusion in making such a comment, don't you?

Barak Obama said that since he was a community organizer he was ready to be President. Obama's claim is more laughable.

Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:

Throw out Dell and Ellison and then how do your stats hold up?

I see, the statists don't look at the entire population of a set as a whole. They look at the set, find the members of the population that be will troublesome to their cause, then remove them and claim victory.

These are the kind of people who watch their football team lose then say "Hey, if you took those two plays away, they would have won."

If Dell and Ellison are part of the set, then Dell and Ellison are part of the set. Why would you remove them?
 
Quote from seneca_roman:

IMO, academic accomplishment is indictive of intelligence as opposed to the conservative anti intellectual crowd which I fully expected to post a comment like yours.

Bush has degrees from Yale and Harvard. Where did you go?
 
Quote from Brandonf:

I'm not sure what advanced degree's have to do with intelligence. They certainly speak of academic acomplishment and also of sticking to what you start, but I've met a lot of educated idiots.
If you look at the Forbes 400 about 35% of them have no college degree at all, and that group is, on average, 20% wealthier vs the group with a college degree even when you take Bill Gates out of the picture. Interestingly the HS dropouts are the richest group, on average, in the entire list.

Plus you can tell IQ by their politics. Obama voters must be dumbasses because how could a smart person vote for someone who has no history?
 
Quote from seneca_roman:

Exit polls contradict your idiocy showing that those with advanced degrees voted overwhelmingly for Obama; and I can't wait for the conservative anti intellectual backlash.

And the wealthy also voted for Obama; so I guess that by definition makes them dumbasses.

Please define what a dumbass is other than someone like yourself who ignores data and pretends it says something else.

OOOHHHH, I forgot, that is the republikan way. It is like denying health care for everyone is a pro life position when the data shows it kills dozens every day.

Seneca

Most of the wealthy who voted for him did so they could be cut in on business deals. Examples are GE's Executives who are trying to get Cap and Trade business, Healthcare Records business or the GS guys who voted for him so he would funnel billions to them through AIG.

Wealthy trust babies who have no clue love Obama.
