Well studies have proved that the more education one receives the more he will earn in a lifetime. This naturally is on average and I am not even sure that this trend will continue, but in the long run people with a college education make more. Generally speaking that is true. And is this important, well it is important to people that are living hand to mouth or even worse.
What else might a college education do for you. Well it almost always gives one a sense that science is important, science unlocks the answers to questions mankind has pondered for centuries. We no longer worry about a werewolf attacking the village, well most of us don't. We understand the incredible progress made by medicine in just the last hundred years and it was all science related. However, many, not all of the uneducated frown on science just like our friend rifle. If rifle had those advanced degrees he would not be so fast to dismiss science and everything it stands for. Science makes mistakes of course they do but in the end science gets it right. The uneducated drift their attention to shows that rifle likes and that is okay but is it still okay when your put more faith in that type of show then you do with scientific evidence and theories? This show is his favorite. And just for a small example yesterday I watched a PBS production about Henry Ford that is the television I enjoy.
Very few of the college graduates come on this forum and scream it from the rooftop, hey I have an advanced degree and I am special. But rifle did this, he made claims and I thought okay he probably does have that degree and I let it go. Some people like to brag and show off. However, as I read his posts it became quite clear that this guy has no advanced degree, how would I know that. Just read his shit once in a while. Does he ever have a clear, concise narrative about a problem or an issue? I have never read one. What does he post? Well mainly it consists of a copy/paste or some rant about liberals or non christians and how they will go to hell. Often he writes something like this...god will not be (fill in the word) usually mocked or made foolish or something like that. So where does he get that shit from well that comes from his minister on Sunday and probably Wed evening. What else does he post, well he is very fond of telling people to commit suicide. (another very Christian comment that one hears every day from christians) he also has no problem with little cartoons and colorful comments about homosexuals and other bs. Think about this have you ever, even once read a narrative written by this guy that exhibited a thoughtful or interesting theme? Even once? No!!!
So why should I care, because Rifle represents everything I dislike in a person. First, he clearly is a liar. I know and believe that most people on this forum strive very carefully to be credible. Does he? No he does not. Second he is a braggart, no matter the subject rifle has an opinion on it. I trained for a few decades when I was younger. I know what it takes to do some serious physical training it isn't only the weight training it is also the cardio and nutrition and in some cases a proper mind set. Rifle tells us he has a superior body and that you need not worry about nutrition if you are training. Do you believe him? I have been around people that train and I said it before these people are almost never bullies, I have never met one that bragged or bullied. I am sure they exist but when you train with a bunch of people there is a sense of brotherhood, a certain spirit and rifle lacks that, very evident he lacks it.
So I spoke up I challenged rifle to take a bible quiz, after all he is a christian and should have no problem with a one question quiz. He has refused, isn't that strange? Then I challenged him to take a one question quiz about his business training, he refuses. He claims that when I take a lie detector test to prove I am not a child abuser he will take the quiz. Really, he asks for an impossible task to deflect his inability to take a simple quiz on the subjects that he claims to be a master in. He and a few others never attack a person for what that person says or believes in. He attacks with...commit suicide, hang yourself, you're a pedophile and other bs. So he receives what he gets. I can do that too.
Does a person with advanced degrees operate with the MO that rifle uses, does a person with advanced degrees disregard science and believe in paranormal bs when there is absolutely no proof ever, ever about even one of these encounters? He believes in witches and goblins, ghosts that come knocking in the night. He said that if you watch those shows you will shit in your pants. That is the intellect of rifle, he isn't concerned about global warming, or a rogue asteroid or one of a dozen scenarios than can mean the end of the human race. But, he is concerned about a zombie sucking the life out of him. All these traits belong to a person that has no or little formal education. That is a fact.
Here is another bit of irony about rifle, he claims to be a christian and probably a fundamentalist christian, he certainly isn't a Catholic chistian because you know what he wants to do to Catholics. So where is the irony, well the bible in more than one passage warns people not to be involved with the supernatural. It is not just one passage it is preached by almost every fundamentalist preacher to stay away from all that bs. But to rifle it is the best program on tv, can you reconcile that? Also ask yourself who, what type people watch these shows and think they are true. Do you think the highly educated even spend one minute watching such bs. No, the people like rifle watch these shows and buy into this shit. He doesn't even realize that they are scripted. Probably doesn't even know what that means or why it is relevant. All of this circumstantial evidence piles up against the rifle and it is obvious he has no college education.
Now, I wrote to rifle how about if we talk a little bit about your undergraduate studies. No response, no on this too. Why? I would not mind speaking or writing about my undergraduate work, if you are in college and/or have a degree do you mind answering a question or two about your experience, I do not. IP who also leans conservative has not a problem with that and I would wager that a huge number of conservatives have no problem, but rifle does. You know why, because he can't answer those questions. He knows he will get tripped up and his pretending will be evident to not only 90% of the people but very close to 100% of the people. No his reply is to accuse me of child abuse. One of his buddies took that too far and now may have real problems.
So some of you are still thinking so what, what does it matter. Well you're right it doesn't matter it is just my way to expose this bum for the bum that he really is. Is it political, just a bit but it is more about honesty, integrity and being credible. If a progressive made the unproven claims that rifle makes some of you would want proof, some type of proof. Be honest even if it is only to yourself.
So rifle do you want to discuss your undergraduate work? I am assuming it is a degree in business, but it doesn't have to be. Maybe, your undergraduate work concentrated on one of the sciences. Why not discuss it? I will tell you why because it doesn't exist. Rifle you have tricked a few but every day that number is decreasing.
