I get a lunch break, but you guys get to post here all day.
Rich? Retired? Not me.

I work from home, my wife is my boss, and after 20 years,
we still get
along, couldn't be better. Admittedly much of our business
is now
automated, but we spent many a year and hour getting here;)



I teach at a university in the middle of the state.

What do you teach?

Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional
liberal
arts.

Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!

As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political
organizations.

Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to
edumacating our
yungins.


Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage of our
students
going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)

And still a political troll post, no matter how you look at it...


It is trolling to mention teaching and academic achievement?

Look out, you've already raised some hairs. Just mentioning higher ed
makes folks nervous around here...

Kool-aid is served year 'round hereabouts.


There really is a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in this
country, more so than at any other time I can remember. It's too bad
because a dumbed down America will go down the tubes.

You mean "down the tubes" faster. The Chinese are turning out
engineers at 10 times the rate we are, many of them studying at our
universities.

The emergence of this beverage-based group really puts a point on it.
Their candidates don't require a basic knowledge of the constitution,
pivotal supreme court rulings or basic tenets of law. Instead, they
just supply a few common sense-isms, rail on the media, taxes, them
smart folks who got us in all this trouble, and mention the day they
accepted Jesus into their lives as their personal lord and savior.

That's it! You're electable and ready to govern! Yahooo!

Please don't feel obligated to respond. I'm already tainted by the
"liberal" stamp and you can remain above the fray. You should try to
keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen sides
otherwise.

I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a
liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed
critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the
responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our obligation
to the state and our country.

Screw the greedy, the globalists and anybody who shops Walmart.

It's ok JPS, our new poster already tainted himself, progressives can't
help it, they just can't play fair here or anywhere else...



I don't know you at all, but you seem extraordinarily volatile and
subject to wide mood swings. One minute you seem to agree this would be
a better place without all the personal name calling and the next minute
you're engaging in it.

Sure, I'm progressive. I believe in progress, in moving forward, in
extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors, in making
sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in blaming one
ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying to get
ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people.



Paul,
I don't know where you are from, but in my neck of the woods if one
wants to minimize arguments and name calling, it makes sense to avoid
religious and political topics. Now if you enjoy heated debates, you
are right on target.


Debating with the likes of you is like hitting a heavy bag. Thud,
thud, thud. No response. Just dense mass of filling with a coarse
cover.

You forgot to add that you are a panty wearing coward who hides under
his desk, posting death threats .- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


Since you seem to be on board with the new guidelines and such, I am
up for debate... As to the death threats, you clearly weeks before
offered to kill me for 5 dollars, you have threatened my wife,
threatened to shoot my daughter, and blow up my home along with my
neighbors, yikes! Nobody would blame me for defending myself sooo.. I
responded with something like, "if you come here to kill me, between
me and the CT justice system, you would go home in a box.." *OK, now
we are clear on that but I have another question...Really, you are a
dude, right? What is this "panty goddes", panty goddess, stuff?
Cause,. I gotta' tell you, that almost makes the thought being close
enough to you to blow your frekin' balls off, kinda' weird, really.
Are you trying to "make it weird"? Cause it is, ewwwww.... Hopefully
it won't ruin the experience for me;)

Ha, ha... sorry guys, but I just couldn't help myself;) *Sue me....


As to the death threats, you clearly weeks before offered to kill
me for 5 dollars,

But...YOUR threat to " give me the beating I deserve " was posted WAY
before that. I see you conveniently forgot that.

you clearly weeks before offered to kill me for 5 dollars,

That was what I thought the job was worth ie : your not worth more
than 5 bucks.

you have threatened my wife,

This never happened. My words were " If you cant control your husbands
activities on the Internet, things could go very bad"
That...is not a threat of any kind.

threatened to shoot my daughter,

Once again that is you stretching things the way you want them to
look, to make it APPEAR a threat.

My words again were : I hope there's no Hunters in the racing area, a
stray bullet could kill someone".

and blow up my home

Once again, my words were " tick,tick,tick, mother****er "

Explain the threat there? Are you now paranoid?

This is what you reap, when you sow what you did. YOU are to blame for
this response.

What is this "panty goddes", panty goddess, stuff?

You are stupid, so I will explain it. It referrs to you, hiding under
your desk, wearing your Wifes panties, acting like the sniveling
coward you are.

If I ever see you, I wont need a gun to dispatch you, asswipe. Now,
**** off under your desk where you belong.

You are suggesting that "the other side" does not want "scientific
development" (which is code for you want no compromise on stem cell
research whatsoever) and you got the LaRaza line down for the rest of
the paragraph, suggesting that the other side is not for "fair play"
which of course is code for "no id's required, free lunch time", and the
whole "scaring large blocks of people" is directed at republicans, even
though the whole "we are gonna' have 8% unemployment if we don't pay off
the unions right now", and "the big bad republicans are sneaking outside
money (like the millions the dems got from Soros and the Chinese
Military in the last few elections) in to "steal" the election when the
dems still have the same money coming in, plus millions from
undocumented donations through the Labor Unions....



I've made no such suggestion. I've merely stated that I am a progressive
and have certain beliefs and values based upon my position as a
progressive. As a student of history, I am an admirer of thinkers on
both sides of our two party political spectrum, including Dwight
Eisenhower, Nelson Rockefeller and even Richard Nixon, two of whom were
both conservative and progressive.

Yeah, we've been 'trying'. Now, defining 'trying' may be tough, but what the
hey. It's worth a shot. There are a few folks around who can't let go, and may
have a problem. But, they are ignoreable.

I noticed that Paul thought the use of Karen's name was quite the egregious
offense, but said nothing when slammer makes comments like, "...Do you stick the
gun barrel in Terris mouth when you **** her? Does it make you even more turgid,
you little ****ing coward?"

Spoofing is not the best behavior, in my opinion, but it's not nearly as sick as
slammer's crap.

Are you a sociology professor studying internet behavior?


That's pretty funny!

If I were, some posters here would make for an interesting study group,
I'd bet.

My underpinnings and teachings are more classical, and less
trade-schoolish, not that there is anything wrong with learning a trade.
In my classes, you might learn what some great thinkers thought, why
they thought that, how those thoughts evolved, how they influence us
today. You'd also be required to write many long papers.


Must the papers be of a certain 'bent' to recieve a good grade?

Of course not. What we like to see is evidence the writer properly
prepared himself by reading and assimilating pertinent works, and spent
significant time thinking and writing so as to present a logical,
coherent paper. In class discussions, any ideas are welcome, but the
presenter has to be able to defend them. We try to teach our students to
think logically and to develop and use their wits.

Yes, "must be able to defend them". Against who? A professor with a
liberal bent that might not challenge one side as vigorously as the
other... Especially if that professor doesn't feel one side needs
defending at all... Watched three kids come through the system, and my
mom was a school administrator for almost 50 years, I know how it
works...




You appear unfamiliar with the process of "defending" one's papers,
thoughts, presentations as it is done at the college/university level. I
say that because you are injecting partisan politics into a process that
has nothing to do with partisan politics. The exercise is intellectual,
not political.

No offense, but you seem eager to point fingers and make accusations,
even on subjects about which you know little or nothing.

The challenges to the presenters come not from me, but from fellow
students chosen at random and given a copy of the paper a few days
before the class discussion. The object of the exercise is to develop
logical thinking processes, not to insult the presenters or the
challengers. My role is that of sometime moderator, to keep the
discussions on track and within the time limitations.


I trust you have the best intentions... I just know how tough it is for
my kid to be in a Social Studies class with a openly regressive teacher
who's car sports a bumper sticker saying "impeach Bush, torture Cheney".
She is a bright kid and knows how to play the game, she has the highest
grades in the class and it's not even her they are grading;)


You present an interesting paradox. On the one hand, you lament what you
perceive as a decline in freedom of speech and on the other hand, you
lament your kid's teacher expressing his or her freedom of speech on a
bumper sticker.

My underpinnings and teachings are more classical, and less
trade-schoolish, not that there is anything wrong with learning a trade.
In my classes, you might learn what some great thinkers thought, why
they thought that, how those thoughts evolved, how they influence us
today. You'd also be required to write many long papers.


Must the papers be of a certain 'bent' to recieve a good grade?

Of course not. What we like to see is evidence the writer properly
prepared himself by reading and assimilating pertinent works, and spent
significant time thinking and writing so as to present a logical,
coherent paper. In class discussions, any ideas are welcome, but the
presenter has to be able to defend them. We try to teach our students to
think logically and to develop and use their wits.

Yes, "must be able to defend them". Against who? A professor with a
liberal bent that might not challenge one side as vigorously as the
other... Especially if that professor doesn't feel one side needs
defending at all... Watched three kids come through the system, and my
mom was a school administrator for almost 50 years, I know how it
works...




You appear unfamiliar with the process of "defending" one's papers,
thoughts, presentations as it is done at the college/university level. I
say that because you are injecting partisan politics into a process that
has nothing to do with partisan politics. The exercise is intellectual,
not political.

No offense, but you seem eager to point fingers and make accusations,
even on subjects about which you know little or nothing.

The challenges to the presenters come not from me, but from fellow
students chosen at random and given a copy of the paper a few days
before the class discussion. The object of the exercise is to develop
logical thinking processes, not to insult the presenters or the
challengers. My role is that of sometime moderator, to keep the
discussions on track and within the time limitations.

I trust you have the best intentions... I just know how tough it is for
my kid to be in a Social Studies class with a openly regressive teacher
who's car sports a bumper sticker saying "impeach Bush, torture Cheney".
She is a bright kid and knows how to play the game, she has the highest
grades in the class and it's not even her they are grading;)


You present an interesting paradox. On the one hand, you lament what you
perceive as a decline in freedom of speech and on the other hand, you
lament your kid's teacher expressing his or her freedom of speech on a
bumper sticker.


Nope, the problem comes when the teacher brings that radical/militant
attitude to the classroom, but you know that is what I meant, didn't
you?



So, you want to discuss politics here, eh?

To be brutally frank, no. You didn't say that, nor did you imply it.
I don't know what "openly regressive" means, either. I don't understand
your comment about "not even her they are grading." What does that mean?

Perhaps we might have better understanding if you just came out and said
what you mean, instead of obfuscating. I read through some of your long
post on your kid's motorcycling adventures before I gave up because I
didn't understand much of the lingo you were using. I'm a big fan of

University is meant to teach rigor. Conspiracy theories generally
lack much rigor.

That said, I wouldn't doubt that George knew something was afoot, to
happen and planned to use it to invade Iraq, whatever it was.

The neocon crew were hoping for an incident that would allow them to
launch a US military force, the specific goal being change in the
mideast. Certain of them also liked the idea of controlling all that
oil.

That said, to string everyone's worst nightmare together to form a
theory probably isn't a good idea but certain aspects of each of them
are at least considerable.

Look out, you've already raised some hairs. Just mentioning higher ed
makes folks nervous around here...

Kool-aid is served year 'round hereabouts.


There really is a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in this
country, more so than at any other time I can remember. It's too bad
because a dumbed down America will go down the tubes.

You mean "down the tubes" faster. The Chinese are turning out
engineers at 10 times the rate we are, many of them studying at our
universities.

The emergence of this beverage-based group really puts a point on it.
Their candidates don't require a basic knowledge of the constitution,
pivotal supreme court rulings or basic tenets of law. Instead, they
just supply a few common sense-isms, rail on the media, taxes, them
smart folks who got us in all this trouble, and mention the day they
accepted Jesus into their lives as their personal lord and savior.

That's it! You're electable and ready to govern! Yahooo!

Please don't feel obligated to respond. I'm already tainted by the
"liberal" stamp and you can remain above the fray. You should try to
keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen sides
otherwise.

I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a
liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed
critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the
responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our obligation
to the state and our country.

Screw the greedy, the globalists and anybody who shops Walmart.

It's ok JPS, our new poster already tainted himself, progressives can't
help it, they just can't play fair here or anywhere else...



I don't know you at all, but you seem extraordinarily volatile and
subject to wide mood swings. One minute you seem to agree this would be
a better place without all the personal name calling and the next minute
you're engaging in it.

Sure, I'm progressive. I believe in progress, in moving forward, in
extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors, in making
sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in blaming one
ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying to get
ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people.



Paul,
I don't know where you are from, but in my neck of the woods if one
wants to minimize arguments and name calling, it makes sense to avoid
religious and political topics. Now if you enjoy heated debates, you
are right on target.


Debating with the likes of you is like hitting a heavy bag. Thud,
thud, thud. No response. Just dense mass of filling with a coarse
cover.


Again, is calling someone a "dense mass of filling with a course cover"
in the best interest of a kinder and gentler rec.boats?


WTF do you care? You're just a spoofin' fool that likes to buttsniff
his percieved adversaries.

I teach at a university in the middle of the state.

What do you teach?

Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional
liberal
arts.

Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!

As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political
organizations.

Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to
edumacating our
yungins.


Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage of our
students
going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)

And still a political troll post, no matter how you look at it...


It is trolling to mention teaching and academic achievement?

Look out, you've already raised some hairs. Just mentioning higher ed
makes folks nervous around here...

Kool-aid is served year 'round hereabouts.


There really is a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in this
country, more so than at any other time I can remember. It's too bad
because a dumbed down America will go down the tubes.

You mean "down the tubes" faster. The Chinese are turning out
engineers at 10 times the rate we are, many of them studying at our
universities.

The emergence of this beverage-based group really puts a point on it.
Their candidates don't require a basic knowledge of the constitution,
pivotal supreme court rulings or basic tenets of law. Instead, they
just supply a few common sense-isms, rail on the media, taxes, them
smart folks who got us in all this trouble, and mention the day they
accepted Jesus into their lives as their personal lord and savior.

That's it! You're electable and ready to govern! Yahooo!

Please don't feel obligated to respond. I'm already tainted by the
"liberal" stamp and you can remain above the fray. You should try to
keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen sides
otherwise.

I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a
liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed
critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the
responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our obligation
to the state and our country.

Screw the greedy, the globalists and anybody who shops Walmart.

It's ok JPS, our new poster already tainted himself, progressives can't
help it, they just can't play fair here or anywhere else...



I don't know you at all, but you seem extraordinarily volatile and
subject to wide mood swings. One minute you seem to agree this would be
a better place without all the personal name calling and the next minute
you're engaging in it.

Sure, I'm progressive. I believe in progress, in moving forward, in
extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors, in making
sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in blaming one
ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying to get
ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people.



Paul,
I don't know where you are from, but in my neck of the woods if one
wants to minimize arguments and name calling, it makes sense to avoid
religious and political topics. Now if you enjoy heated debates, you
are right on target.

Debating with the likes of you is like hitting a heavy bag. Thud,
thud, thud. No response. Just dense mass of filling with a coarse
cover.


Again, is calling someone a "dense mass of filling with a course cover"
in the best interest of a kinder and gentler rec.boats?


WTF do you care? You're just a spoofin' fool that likes to buttsniff
his percieved adversaries.


You seem to be filled with anger and rage. Shouldn't you find another
venue to release that pent up frustration?

That's pretty funny!

If I were, some posters here would make for an interesting study group,
I'd bet.

My underpinnings and teachings are more classical, and less
trade-schoolish, not that there is anything wrong with learning a trade.
In my classes, you might learn what some great thinkers thought, why
they thought that, how those thoughts evolved, how they influence us
today. You'd also be required to write many long papers.


Must the papers be of a certain 'bent' to recieve a good grade?

Of course not. What we like to see is evidence the writer properly
prepared himself by reading and assimilating pertinent works, and spent
significant time thinking and writing so as to present a logical,
coherent paper. In class discussions, any ideas are welcome, but the
presenter has to be able to defend them. We try to teach our students to
think logically and to develop and use their wits.

Hee, hee. That's cute.

Goodbye.

Why not just set up your news reader to block posts from the ID spoofer?
That way, you won't see his b.s. and I won't, either. I've already got
him blocked and unless someone quotes him, I don't see him.
He obviously cares not a whit about improving the tone in here.

At the moment, he's the only one here I am blocking. But there are a
couple more ID spoofers on the possibles list, plus two others who
seemingly have anger management issues and no self control.

I teach at a university in the middle of the state.

What do you teach?

Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the
traditional
liberal
arts.

Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!

As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor
by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political
organizations.

Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to
edumacating our
yungins.


Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage
of our
students
going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)

And still a political troll post, no matter how you look
at it...


It is trolling to mention teaching and academic achievement?

Look out, you've already raised some hairs. Just mentioning
higher ed
makes folks nervous around here...

Kool-aid is served year 'round hereabouts.


There really is a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism
in this
country, more so than at any other time I can remember. It's
too bad
because a dumbed down America will go down the tubes.

You mean "down the tubes" faster. The Chinese are turning out
engineers at 10 times the rate we are, many of them studying
at our
universities.

The emergence of this beverage-based group really puts a point
on it.
Their candidates don't require a basic knowledge of the
constitution,
pivotal supreme court rulings or basic tenets of law. Instead,
they
just supply a few common sense-isms, rail on the media, taxes,
them
smart folks who got us in all this trouble, and mention the
day they
accepted Jesus into their lives as their personal lord and
savior.

That's it! You're electable and ready to govern! Yahooo!

Please don't feel obligated to respond. I'm already tainted by
the
"liberal" stamp and you can remain above the fray. You should
try to
keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen
sides
otherwise.

I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a
liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed
critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the
responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our
obligation
to the state and our country.

Screw the greedy, the globalists and anybody who shops Walmart.

It's ok JPS, our new poster already tainted himself,
progressives can't
help it, they just can't play fair here or anywhere else...



I don't know you at all, but you seem extraordinarily volatile and
subject to wide mood swings. One minute you seem to agree this
would be
a better place without all the personal name calling and the
next minute
you're engaging in it.

Sure, I'm progressive. I believe in progress, in moving forward, in
extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors,
in making
sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in
blaming one
ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying
to get
ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people.



Paul,
I don't know where you are from, but in my neck of the woods if one
wants to minimize arguments and name calling, it makes sense to
avoid
religious and political topics. Now if you enjoy heated debates, you
are right on target.

Debating with the likes of you is like hitting a heavy bag. Thud,
thud, thud. No response. Just dense mass of filling with a coarse
cover.

Again, is calling someone a "dense mass of filling with a course
cover"
in the best interest of a kinder and gentler rec.boats?

WTF do you care? You're just a spoofin' fool that likes to buttsniff
his percieved adversaries.

You seem to be filled with anger and rage. Shouldn't you find another
venue to release that pent up frustration?


Filled with rage and anger? Your sensors are either completely out of
whack or the whole system needs a reboot.

My passion is reserved for things that matter.

perceived, btw.


Why not just set up your news reader to block posts from the ID spoofer?
That way, you won't see his b.s. and I won't, either. I've already got
him blocked and unless someone quotes him, I don't see him.
He obviously cares not a whit about improving the tone in here.

At the moment, he's the only one here I am blocking. But there are a
couple more ID spoofers on the possibles list, plus two others who
seemingly have anger management issues and no self control.



It should be obvious by now the ID Spoofers and a couple of others have
*absolutely* no interest in improving the atmosphere in rec.boats. If
you engage them at all, you're simply encouraging their bad behavior.

I didn't see where the poster you reference said he was putting you on
his block list. I did get the idea he was blocking an ID spoofer and
might block more of those, plus other posters who he perceived were out
of control. There was no reference to "ideological bent."

So, unless you are ID spoofing or are out of control, why would you be
on his block list?

I have nearly every yahoo in here blocked. They change their ID every
few minutes or mimick someone else's ID that I'd like to read.

My bozo bin includes:

Tosk
Justwait
Herring
BAR
Harry?
Canuck
Jack
Three pontoons
Larry and his every-three-week ID change for the past 2 years
GC Boater
jp christian insurance salesman
....among others

Most of these bozos post under several ID's, so I plonk 'em as they
come up.

Unfortunately, I see their drivel if someone responds to them.

I work from home, my wife is my boss, and after 20 years,

is now
automated, but we spent many a year and hour getting here;)


I teach at a university in the middle of the state.


What do you teach?


Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional
liberal
arts.


Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!


As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political

Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to

Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage of our

going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)


And still a political troll post, no matter how you look at it...


It is trolling to mention teaching and academic achievement?


Look out, you've already raised some hairs. Just mentioning higher ed
makes folks nervous around here...


Kool-aid is served year 'round hereabouts.


There really is a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in this
country, more so than at any other time I can remember. It's too bad
because a dumbed down America will go down the tubes.


You mean "down the tubes" faster. The Chinese are turning out
engineers at 10 times the rate we are, many of them studying at our
universities.


The emergence of this beverage-based group really puts a point on it.
Their candidates don't require a basic knowledge of the constitution,
pivotal supreme court rulings or basic tenets of law. Instead, they
just supply a few common sense-isms, rail on the media, taxes, them
smart folks who got us in all this trouble, and mention the day they
accepted Jesus into their lives as their personal lord and savior.


That's it! You're electable and ready to govern! Yahooo!


Please don't feel obligated to respond. I'm already tainted by the
"liberal" stamp and you can remain above the fray. You should try to
keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen sides
otherwise.


I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a
liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed
critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the
responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our obligation
to the state and our country.


Screw the greedy, the globalists and anybody who shops Walmart..


It's ok JPS, our new poster already tainted himself, progressives can't
help it, they just can't play fair here or anywhere else...


I don't know you at all, but you seem extraordinarily volatile and
subject to wide mood swings. One minute you seem to agree this would be
a better place without all the personal name calling and the next minute
you're engaging in it.


Sure, I'm progressive. I believe in progress, in moving forward, in
extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors, in making
sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in blaming one
ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying to get
ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people.


Paul,
I don't know where you are from, but in my neck of the woods if one
wants to minimize arguments and name calling, it makes sense to avoid
religious and political topics. *Now if you enjoy heated debates, you
are right on target.


Debating with the likes of you is like hitting a heavy bag. Thud,
thud, thud. *No response. *Just dense mass of filling with a coarse
cover.


Again, is calling someone a "dense mass of filling with a course cover"
in the best interest of a kinder and gentler rec.boats?


WTF do you care? *You're just a spoofin' fool that likes to buttsniff
his percieved adversaries.


You seem to be filled with anger and rage. *Shouldn't you find another
venue to release that pent up frustration?


Filled with rage and anger? *Your sensors are either completely out of
whack or the whole system needs a reboot.


My passion is reserved for things that matter.


perceived, btw.


Why not just set up your news reader to block posts from the ID spoofer?
That way, you won't see his b.s. and I won't, either. I've already got
him blocked and unless someone quotes him, I don't see him.
He obviously cares not a whit about improving the tone in here.


At the moment, he's the only one here I am blocking. But there are a
couple more ID spoofers on the possibles list, plus two others who
seemingly have anger management issues and no self control.


I have nearly every yahoo in here blocked. *They change their ID every
few minutes or mimick someone else's ID that I'd like to read.

Larry and his every-three-week ID change for the past 2 years

Unfortunately, you are one of the three who haven't even made one bit
of an effort to change your style... Nothing at all. So if the group
keeps going "up" the way it is, you will probably be irrelevant long
before me or anybody else.. Later dude, wallow in your anger, the new

I think the idea that everyone should go to college is probably not
valid.
There are plenty of people with liberal arts degrees who never learned
anything helpful in finding a job, yet they are saddled with a
$100,000 student loan that may end up costing them $200,000 or more by
the time they pay it off..
My biggest complaint with the American education establishment is the
degree of vertical integration. There is very little contact with the
real world. The system is dominated by generations of people who went
to school when they were 6 and never left.


Some colleges and universities have programs through which smart
students without financial resources can attend and graduate without
incurring significant debt. I'm not talking about traditional
"scholarship programs.

College placement offices are pretty good at helping graduating students
find jobs. You can lead students to the water, but they have to be
self-motivated enough to drink.

A small but growing number of graduating students are turning their
backs on the United States and finding good employment overseas, where
their abilities and education may be more appreciated.

I've noticed that a couple of those on your blocked list appear to be
behaving. There are a couple whose posts I haven't seen yet. The three
ID spoofers are now on my blocked list because I see no reason to
encourage that sort of bad behavior. Second hand, I've noticed that at
least one of them seems to relish being the bad boy, thus proving the
correctness of my decision to block his posts.
