Random Politics & Religion #00

Nothing to do with Ravael, you are constantly bemoaning peoples education. Being intelligent and having a bought education are two different things. I don't expect someone like you to understand that though, so stay the coarse with your true ignorance.

Go get yourself one of them there fancy college degrees and maybe you could converse on the level that adults do.

I've never called myself a "red" anything. Why should I be inclined to do you any favors?

I am squarely in the red, but not every subject has 2 sides, for many, the sole question is how to deal with the problem.

Aaaaaand found it. Page 31, this thread.

Do you have some some inferiority complex that compels you to belittle booklernin'?

Context matters. bud.

The funny thing is I've paid for three degrees. I payed for both my sisters and my wife to get bachelors. I also find it funny that someone who is always unemployed, believes he shouldn't have to work, and more than likely is living of the government thinks of himself as educated.. But hey I'm not he one judging people on education just the *** they write on the internet.

Context matters. bud.

You'd make a great politician. It's RIGHT THERE and there is still no admission of fault. Bravo.

some some? really.. ffs dude.

I'm going to go use my new Sindri while I do trials on my Mjollnir, you ladies have fun now, ya hear?

Still on those? I guess it is probably harder to do on a mage job. Have fun cosplaying Thor!

Anwyho, back to the discussion, I really wish education level translated better to intelligence. Obviously a reasonable level of intelligence is required for most degrees, but seeing educated people do really stupid things is getting kind of old.

alot

lol'd a bit but if you didn't notice, I was being facetious when I typed all that, "alot" isn't even a word.

unfortunately you don't need that high of a passing average to get a lot of degrees.

To be fair my gpa is kinda ***due to me being severely lazy. Should be a 3.5-4.0+ not hovering where it is. But I have no interest, in general ed classes and they're a waste of my time so taking the time to put more energy in them just isn't in me. I'm not going there for those classes anyway, just a means to an end.

People often forget that facts/logic override "common sense" or just don't know, not sure which it is, I know it's off, topic a bit, but the term bugs me that way.

Facts and logic are not the same thing. And "common sense" doesn't exist. Maybe they should change the term to "Community sense" or "localized sense" or "regional sense".

Mitt Romney has said he's not running for president in 2016 - but if he were to run and win, he's sure he'd be a lot better at the job than Hillary Clinton.

"No question about that in my mind," the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee told "Fox News Sunday" when he was asked whether he'd make a better president than Clinton.

Clinton, a former secretary of state, senator, and first lady, has said she has not decided whether she's running, but polls have shown her all but running away with the Democratic nomination if she decides to take the plunge.

"The American people may disagree with me," Romney explained, "But, look, you've got to get this economy going. You have to have people who understand what it takes to create jobs and to help people come out of poverty, to help the middle class to have a better and prosperous future. You've got to have that understanding."

Romney further suggested Clinton lacks the managerial chops to take on the job.

"You've also got to have people who've actually run something," he said. "The government of the United States is the largest enterprise in the world. You watched a president who just doesn't understand how to make an administration work, how to interact with Congress, how to get things done. You have to have those things. I don't think Hillary Clinton has that experience."

And as he has before, Romney linked her record as secretary of state with the president's foreign policies, which he termed a "disaster."

"Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are two peas in the same pod," he said. "And the American people have tasted that and have said, look, that's not a good taste. It's not right for the American people."

Despite the campaign-friendly attack lines, though, Romney shot down speculation that he may take another run at the presidency in the next cycle.

"I've spoken at this time and time again," he said. "I'm not running. I'm not planning on running. I'm going to be helping the person who takes the banner for us."

"There are other good people who I'm sure will be able to lead the country in the future. I wish it were me," he said. "It was a great experience running for president. I loved that. But my time has...come and gone. I had that opportunity. I ran, I didn't win. And now, it's time for someone else to pick up the baton."

Romney has indeed addressed the issue "time and time again," but he hasn't always been as ironclad in denying an interest in another presidential bid.

In an interview last month with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, for example, Romney said he's not interested in launching another campaign, but he allowed that "circumstances can change."

Facts and logic are not the same thing. And "common sense" doesn't exist. Maybe they should change the term to "Community sense" or "localized sense" or "regional sense".
