Book smarts vs. Street smarts

[Panic]

I feel like drinking til my eyes bleed.(Bread, I think I'm going to make a shirt that says that.) But then again, I didnt graduate college so I'm expected to do silly things like that.

[Bread]

Make 2 of them. I'll send a prepaid envelope!

[Robyn]

Your target audience? I comprehended everything that you said and I did not refute any of it except to say that there are some that do indeed buck the trend. If I wanted to, I could debate statistics and research on here with you, but there’s not a point since I was actually agreeing with your basic statement that those that go to college do, according to research, make more money. There was no reason to be demeaning.

As for the rest of this, a lady knows when to leave a pissing match between boys.

Teela, some of these guys argue just to argue. They do not focus on the people who agree but rather pick apart those who don't.

Boys are silly.

Let's have a tea party!

Actually, if you had gone to college, you would be better at drinking until your eyes bleed.

Bread r dum.

Why would you take exception to something that I myself said on numerous occasions throughout this thread. In fact, I made it a priority to say that education and income is not a perfect positive relationship. You need to read more carefully

[Robyn]

Teela is a ghost therefore she can't read. Right Teela?

[Teela]

What I took exception to, Buddy, was that according to you (in my perception), those involved in the discussion on this thread wouldn't be able to comprehend anything you said.

Robyn, I just wish I knew whose ghost I am!

[moneyline]

Does it really matter whose ghost you are? It is just rather obvious that you are somebody's ... a very perverse individual, that is for sure!

[Teela]

Sadly, I'm not anybody's ghost. I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would think that I am.

It would be more fun to be a ghost, I think.

[Panic]

Teela, are you a friend of Bread and Robyn's?

[Tsoprano]

Hell i think Gates dropped out of college.

Correct. Any many others that now run the World we enjoy.

[Teela]

Teela, are you a friend of Bread and Robyn's?

Define "friend."

I actually joined at the request of Bread.

[Tsoprano]

and your point is?

Point is everyone takes a different road aiming at the same goal. Some fail and some succeed on BOTH ROADS. Stats may show one road is more likely to bring a better destination in more cases. However, the scale is balanced out with winners and losers from both directions. And thats the way the World should be. Who wants to live in a heard-of-sheep style atmosphere?

You might be typing your very posts on a computer made, or motivated from the ideas and determination of the very type of person you bash throughout this thread. (a drop out, by the name of Bill Gates... maybe you've heard of him???)

[moneyline]

Yes, Bread said, to one of his other personalities, would you like to join SBR and the other personality said "Yes, but please call me Teela ... I want to be a woman."

Special, really ...

[Panic]

I think they are cool as hell. I, for some reason, thought you were the girl in one of Robyn's pictures that she posted. I was just wondering.

[Teela]

Moneyline, you're precious!

By "requested," I meant that Bread threatened to stab himself in the head until his other alter came out to play.

[Cappy]

Gates was a standout at MIT, he didn't really need college the way the average american does

[Teela]

If you're referring to the hot blonde, aka Bread's baby mama, I wish that was me. I'm just another crazy redhead.

[Cappy]

What I mean to say is that he is far more intellectually mature than your average college student

I wanna be like Bread(I might make a shirt that says that too). He is the only guy I know that can trip and fall into great situations. He hangs out at the Pink Pussycat, falls off his bike, but still manages to find his way home and probably still drank til his eyes bled. All while Robyn probably just smiled and found it amusing. I live vicariously through him.

You would get taken to task in a heartbeat by anyone who has taken an introductory statistics/research methods course.

I am sorry to say, everything you are saying here is 100% wrong.

I am going to let someone else respond if they want to, otherwise I am going to let you remain in total ignorance so that you can maintain your incorrect beliefs. I am sick of responding to people who are recalcitrant in their desire to not learn.

[Robyn]

That is correct. I tend to stay away from personally inviting any of my female friends to this place. They would instantly be labeled a "ghost" or driven away by the band of idiots who frolic about SBR.

Teela, do not take it personally that you were accused of being an alter. I think that's their sick way of accepting you, believe it or not.

Please do not encourage him.

I've been called worse.

Maybe I'll start channeling my inner Bread: I'm going to drink until my eyes bleed and then I'm going to *SNAP*! Crack makes the world go `round. It was cold and I needed a ride.

[Bread]

Channeling your inner Bread. That's precious.

[Teela]

Channeling your inner Bread. That's precious.

Sometimes, I stop myself and think "What would Bread do?"

Then I usually do the opposite since I want to stay out of jail.

[Dazzez]

I don't see how anyone can reasonably argue that a positive correlation between education and income level doesn't exist.

But in my opinion the correlation between one's education and one's intrinsic value as a human being is equally clear ... by and large there isn't any at all.

[Dazzez]

I have more to share, more ways to share it and, because most have been where I've journeyed, I can educate in a way the uneducated, untraveled cannot ...

Don't hate me 'cause of higher learning and travel. Embrace diversity!

Case in point.
