I still feel sorry for clayron. I didn't mean to hurt him so bad, but he asked for it, given the situation.

The previous instances just showed that I was dealing with idiots.

I have to go to bed soon, so I'm going to respond once and be done with this.

BranK, I'm shocked that you still haven't moved pass the issue that saw you leave almost a year ago. A situation where you came into a forum where you were told on day one that the people poked at, insulted, and generally had a good time prodding each other in jest. Yet, with that information you elected to carry your emotions on your shoulder and allow yourself to be caught up in a nonsensical argument with various users regarding race jokes that, I believe, were made on all sides.

You were not a victim, but an accomplice.

Now, to be fair I suspended EVERYONE involved for 2 hours, and gave you 1 hour to calm the situation and keep everyone from getting to riled up. Remember that? You weren't picked on or targeted. Everyone involved was reprimanded.

Now, then you PMed me and that led to a lot of hullabaloo.

You say you feel sorry for me?

Really?

Race jokes aside I'm one of the most beloved members of TDH, and I wasn't hated on GS either. But, unlike you I could take and give a joke without wearing my ass around my shoulders. I don't know if you think I'm continuously insulted on TDH, or whatever, but that is FAR from the case. I defy you to find more than a handful of instances where someone and I traded race jokes. Or even find one where I was offended. You're welcome to traverse my posting history or anyone else's on the site.

But, unlike you, I understand the concept of a "joke" and I believe that other users do as well, and, as such, have never once felt disrespected.

If anyone should feel sorry for anyone it is I for you.

You are a disliked, oft insulted, and sensitive male. In all honestly, the way you parade your "I'm black and black jokes hurt me so no one should say them" mentality around as if it were some badge of honor is so far beyond pathetic it's mind-boggling. It really is. Our last interaction was May 2011. That's almost a year ago, and you are still holding onto a none issue. Just like when I suggested you let the issue go and STOP PMing me on TDH.

I will say now, and I said then, you are a whiny, little man child with no direction on how to be an adult.

You are pathetic.

You are sad.

And you are about far too emotional and sensitive to be considered a male in this lifetime.

I know children with fewer issues that you have.

Now, please quit bringing me up and let the situation go.

Dear mods, I understand there is a new TOU, I haven't been here in some time, and I don't know how things work, but if you are to suspend me, as would be under the old TOU, then I understand.

Yep sure is Dmad....

YEEEEEAAAAAAAH

Is it really a choice when your parents, your peers, and TV commercials tell you to go to college?

Plus, the last thing the US needs is more people with degrees in the liberal arts.

Perhaps I should have phrased my proposal better. Encourage children to go to college in a way that will benefit them and the country the best (by pursuing degrees in the sciences, technology, and engineering). Allow children to be aware of the strings of going to college and studying something that has few career prospects.

People just need to make their decisions more clearly, that is all. The ethos of this country is encouraging everyone to go to college, whether it benefits the country or not. Does it benefit the country if most college graduates end with six figures in debt and few avenues to paying it off? No.

Your prejudice seems to be against those with degrees in liberal arts, which in your mind are useless. I can't argue this point since I don't know the statistics on liberal arts majors and post-graduate job opportunities. However, I'd be hesitant to say that the degree is absolutely useless based on whatever criteria you are using. A degree that does not translate into direct vocational training does not mean it is useless. But, again, I can't argue the point since I don't have the information necessary to make an argument.

Even if you "encouraged" people to go to college in a way that benefits the country best; how would you accomplish this? Make all students study engineering/business/and or various other sciences? Then, as the previous point states, that creates a huge labor supply of people who will not be able to get jobs due to an over-saturated market. A factoid that a lot of science majors are dealing with when the economy goes south and businesses contract. Why avoid such studies as history, latin, social sciences, etc? Why encourage students to avoid these majors? Even if they didn't get a job post-graduation there is always further educational opportunities (grad-school) that would allow these students to further specialize in their own major and possibly move into other fields. I don't know how you measure a college degree's benefit to a country.

People will still be expected to complete high school. We just need to make college less accessible, that is all. Because not everyone is ready for/should go to college.

The_Capitalist

College is a principally a choice. So people who often go to college are those who have determined to do so of their own volition. I don't understand how by capping the amount of people allowed into college would benefit the U.S. Particularly since it's not always the best academic performers who do well post-college. It seems sort of self-defeating to limit the talent pool to those who did exceedingly well in college.

I truly don't understand how this would help our country.
