Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

[Liberty1916]

Ah yes....spoken like someone without a degree.

Care to place some money on that?

I've got a couple and I largely agree with Liberty.

Waiting for news. Have any?

Well, a college degree doesn't necessarily say anything about someone's intelligence. That might be news to you.

Most credentialed universities are nothing more than propaganda machines.

Not most. And the ones that are, it depends on the department. Humanities, yeah, in many cases definitely propaganda. Berkley's, for sure. But "real" departments, no. Not even at Berkley.

How do you know he doesn't have a degree?


I have a degree. I think Colleges/Universities are propaganda mills.

On which part, that most universities are propaganda machines? Diploma mills maybe.

But like I said, if there's propaganda it's probably coming out of humanities. I've never taken an engineering or math class where anything was politicized. An average Engineering student who starts school with a decent sense of reasoning can make it through the required humanities with their sense of reasoning still intact by graduation.

But if you're a liberal arts major, good luck with that.

I'd say it's closer to all than most. In fact, my son is in grad school (STEM, a "real" dept) and has to attend a mandatory "diversity/inclusion/pro gay/blah blah" seminar this week. The propaganda doesn't stop at the "real" departments.

Yep, most universities..heck school systems in general have become propagandizing indoctrination mills. I have known plenty of people who were raised with firm conservative influence and after years of "education" have become some of the most liberal people I have ever known.

Edit- lets face it, universities used to be where people did a lot of growing up. Now it just reinforces what makes so many precious snowflakes. Entitlement, safe spaces, acceptance for all but those who disagree with the liberal indoctrination, micro agressions etc etc. I dread my daughter going off to one of these indoctrination mills in less than 2 yrs.

I also agree with this.

But it means a whole lot if you're talking about how colleges work without ever attending one.

That just means their parents sucked at raising their kids. Don't put it on the college that their parents sent the weak minded. Perhaps they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

I see some truth there. BUT, a wise man once made a damn good point about this. Anytime two ot more people are gathered, someone is being influenced and someone is being an influence. If a person is subjected to an "educator" long enough there will inevitably be some influence made. Even strong minded people will often crumble when faced with passing a required course with a teacher that forces their views. Colleges do share the blame

Idk about Route, but I happily admit I attended one but didn't graduate. I left a traditional university for a trade school instead. The university was a bit of culture shock for me (dealing with professors BS)

Police confirm Paddock used "special ammo" to try and detonate the fuel tanks, as well as his car.

And fuel for the conspiracy fires:

Mandalay Bay is questioning the accuracy of the police changing the timeline (security guard shot 6 min before attack).

And... Paddock's house was robbed. The house that should probably be under 24hr FBI surveillance? Robbed. Wonder what was taken.

Burglarized. The home was not robbed. It was buglarized, or burgled, depending on your preference.

That is all.

 

[thunderchicken]

Isn't this pretty much how every thread ends up?

I guess that's bad news for those who like to discuss the inner workings of government, without having actually worked in government.

So, what are your kids going to do after high school?

"Let's blame the police".

right

What about people that went to college and left before a degree? Are they qualified to respond? Or people working to put their spouses through grad school that help them with their research? Are they qualified? Or only people with a degree are qualified?
