We have a debt that reaches into the trillions and terrorists who want us and western society as a whole dead, so what do we focus on? Skin colour and genitalia . On how air conditioner is sexist and manspreading is a social atrocity.

The things we trivialise and the things we insist on whining about is just astounding.

I agree. If MLK was here, or some of his equivalents from the womens' suffrage movement, they would be sickened by what their successors are doing. The very notions of 'equal before the law' and 'on the basis of merit' are being trampled upon by or modern 'enlightened' society.

Hell, MLK would be so pissed, he'd probably ruin his flawless record of being a "nonviolent protestor"

. I could see him taking a swing at some of the powerful race baiters of today

, just on the grounds of systematically destroying everything he's worked for.

If the people of the state of Washington wish to continue supporting this kind of brain dead jacka**ery then they deserve what they get in return. Personally, if I were to find myself in possession of a newly minted high school diploma I would bypass all the traditional choices in what currently passes for "higher education"

and go directly to a vocational/technical college that specializes in real world disciplines backed by state of the art training.

That's great, if you don't mind working for a living. Personally, if I were to do it over again, I would jump straight into the cesspool of higher learning, so I could rub the right shoulders and kiss the right boots to get me one of those fancy D-greez that would allow me to never do manual work again.

Not I. I have a fancy degree or three and I actually look forward to working in a machine shop, carpentry and Blacksmithing when I retire. My job is not physically demanding aside from the occasional scuffle, adrenaline rush, etc. For what little I actually have to do, I'm very well compensated. I agree with Mike Rowe 200%. If I did go back to skoo, I'd prolly be a civil or mechanical engineer of some sort so I could play with cool stuff and still work with my hands. I grew up working hard around men who could "do stuff" and fix anything and I miss it in a lot of ways and try to do as much of it in my off time as possible.

My dream career would 3-4 terms in HoR, 1-2 in the Senate, and then the rest of my 'useful' existence as a think-tanker/lobbyist.

Personally I'd rather relieve a lot of those highly educated types of their over-inflated paychecks for the simple task of fixing their HVAC systems, unclogging their plumbing or fixing their electrical problems. Heck, I'd even put up an outdoor barbecue center with a gazebo over it.

"Yes ma'am, we can come out today. There is a slight additional fee for week-end service but we can have a tech on his way within the hour. Thank you ma'am, we'll see you shortly."

The problem with all that shoulder rubbing and boot kissing is that it takes place in the "cesspool". And, it doesn't end when you get the degree. If you run with that crowd its going to be a regular feature of your existence.

Kaso · « **Reply #58 on:** September 14, 2016, 12:08:20 am »

All a necessary part of the game.

Every election cycle I get depressed. Not because I am repulsed by the scum running the show, but because I wish I could be in there with them. To me, politics is the biggest thrill.

coelacanth · « **Reply #59 on:** September 14, 2016, 12:11:50 am »

Fair enough. Its just not for me - especially when I see these videos depicting what life is like on today's college campus. I don't think I'd last a semester.

So true. I was listening to NPR a while back and they told the tale of two brothers, one who became a doctor and one who went to trade school at the local community college and became a plumber. In short, the doc was still saddled with college debt a decade after school but in the same two decades (the decade of school for the good doctor and the decade after graduation) the plumber brother had started a plumbing business which was hugely prosperous and he had tons to show for it with zero debt. College is not at all what it's cracked up to be nor is it a guarantee of the pot o' gold. There's many an advanced degree holder waiting tables and tending bar...or patrolling the streets, not that we mind.

Kaso · « **Reply #61 on:** September 14, 2016, 12:28:43 am »

That is true, and a lot depends upon the degree. 'Gender Studies' is flat out a waste of time and money, as are the liberal arts. Medicine, law, engineering, and CPA accounting all have a high chance of you finding a job in your specialty.

If I were to do it, it would be Law, with focuses on both Constitutional Law and a more practical specialty. Maybe Corporate Law? That way there is a fall-back in case politics does not pan out.

And to the story of the two brothers, I didn't hear the story as you did, but here is my observation: Per google, a med degree is $250k-ish. Starting MD salaries range from $150k to much more. If a doctor has student loans 10 years after med school... Maybe I am missing something, but I would guess he either made some bad choices, or did not prioritize very well.

Actually, I might go to school for heavy equipment operation and maintenance. With all the infrastructure jobs and projects we've been promised that could be very lucrative.

Kaso · « **Reply #63 on:** September 14, 2016, 01:24:46 am »

I wouldn't bet on it. We hired a guy away from heavy machines about eight months ago. He is certified to run a long list of machines, and he was being worked like a dog for a measly $15/hr. Sounds like decent money, and it was, but the work is worth more than that.

I cannot stand academia, but I do what I must because of passion. Like Kaso and politics or coelacanth and working with his hands- there are certain things that are in a man's blood, that if he doesn't do them, it will eat at him for the rest of his life. That's pretty much where I'm sitting right now. I didn't choose this job, it chose me. Yes, internal politics sucks, but every office has its own politics. Yes, the debt sucks, but I am willing to pay that price. I am not however, willing to pay the price of not striving and bleeding to do one of the few things in this world that brings me happiness.

Sarge said it in a post a while back. When you're young, chase what you love now, cos this life goes by fast. And you have a lot of thinking to do if you think it won't weigh down your insides like stone and eat at your guts until you start striving towards it. And "it" could be anything: marrying the love of your life, traveling the world, doing the job your passionate about. Like I said, some things are in a man's blood. Some things give him intrinsic value and purpose and its a crime to not follow that.

Random Ben Shapiro on feminism.

I'm hoping to find more ridiculous SJW vids soon. Stay tuned.

As mentioned earlier the Youtube user Computing Forever has been compiling examples of SJWs using their power within academia and business to force their rhetoric onto students. He's done this by collecting e-mails from those compelled to endure it.

I keep clicking on this thread and subjecting myself to the content because, like a bad wreck on the highway, you just can't look away.

I would not seek out these videos on my own so I have to applaud you for performing a public service to those of us who still resist being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the twenty first century.

Carry on, sir.
