    I have not either. Some ppl dual-major, and of course there's the summa and magna cum laude honors. I'm curious to see what, if anything, Grumpy says in response to my post mentioning how he started a thread to mock me going back to university in my 60s, and how I was awarded an academic scholarship (which I did not apply for) -- and how that is somehow robbing some kid of an education. Yet he's getting a masters in engineering on line in his 70s. I wonder why one is okay and the other is not. ???

    Shit Don't Stink Syndrome, is rampant with conservative posters online. So it's always a possibility, one should always consider.

    For sure, for sure. Hypocrisy and irony are rampant both in this thread, on this board, and in conservative politics in general. Liberals though don't get a pass either. It's true that some lefties here do mock the Toadstool's beloved "poorly-educated" base.

    Left, right or in between, democracy will survive if only common ground can be found among these diverse ideals instead of engaging in divisiveness that only serve the desires of America's internal and external enemies.

    It's not on the initial diploma....I'm surprised you're not familiar with the term...

    Another example of false resentment from the American conservative, no one 'sneers' at non college grads, some of the wealthiest and most famous people in America never finished college. College has become for the conservative elite as well as the liberal elite a symbol and a door opener. Today a MS is even better, it show you really did do something even if the something means nothing. I managed a lot of people and my HS grads were often as good or better than those with degrees. But right wing conservatives must whine so whine on.

There sure was a lot of speculation as to how I was allegedly pushing some poor kid out of a spot (not true) and "Why would some old retired person want another degree?" and so on.
    My reason was very simple not long before you were bragging about being worth a million bucks. If someone has that kind of money why do they need a scholarship? After all there are only so many scholarships so need should be a consideration. As to me getting another degree, it's simply something I have always wanted but never had the time to complete. But I can say the same about your search for a degree. Why does a woman in her 60s need to go to campus and get a degree? See it works both ways.

College is great for many professions but often technical schools are just as demanding when it comes to knowledge and intelligence as many college degree programs. So sneer at the poor uneducated boob fixing your plumbing making $40 an hour with no student debt. Yea a college degree really makes one superior. I have an advanced Bachelors degree so I am speaking from experience.

    How does one get a scholarship without either you or someone you know putting your name in the hat? To the best of my knowledge scholarship funds don't recruit.

    its a fox news talking point

    they tell their idiot malleable brained viewers to scream Elitist at anyone who trys to correct the fucking lies they teach them as a response to REAL FACTS


    the facts you give them kills the propaganda programming and sets the fox viewer into a brain panic


    the slow brained Fox viewer is trained to believe screaming Elitist at people protects the fox news lies



    they are just that fucking stupid
