So, after 12 years of a liberal arts education, you needed 4-6 more? Education should be a lifelong and therefore neverending process. The level of teaching, learning, debate, and writing in the most serious upper level post-grad courses disciplines one's brain like almost nothing found in the non-academic world. I noted the word "almost". I think life experience trumps upper level post-grad courses. I don't have that level of academia experience, so it's just an opinion on my part. You are often an interesting example of contradiction to me. On one hand you extol the virtues and benefits of an extensive education that, as you point out, is designed to "discipline" one's brain for abstract thinking yet you often present with a fully cured, concrete thought process when it comes to certain subjects. I think you learn and gain more by keeping an open mind. |

If you have not learned how to think, read and write well by the time you get out of K-12, 4 more years is not going to help much. Well, a stint in the Navy didn't help FlaJim learn how to think, eh? Noper. I got a good job in the Navy because I already knew how to think. On the other hand, 4 years of college didn't do it for you, so you had to go and get more. You still can't think rationally. I won't share any personal info, so suffice it to say that Harry has no clue what you did in the Navy. All I'll say is that the rating requires one of the highest scores in IQ and aptitude tests to qualify. |

And you think *science* is not one of the liberal arts, eh? Perhaps this will help: Liberal arts, college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum. In the medieval European university the seven liberal arts were grammar, rhetoric, and logic (the trivium) and geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy (the quadrivium). In modern colleges and universities the liberal arts include the study of literature, languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, and science as the basis of a general, or liberal, education. Sometimes the liberal-arts curriculum is described as comprehending study of three main branches of knowledge: the humanities (literature, language, philosophy, the fine arts, and history), the physical and biological sciences and mathematics, and the social sciences. From the Britannica. A B.S. in Math is not, per se, a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum. -- “My heart goes out to the people of Ebola.” Sarah Palin |

Why do secretive people annoy you so much? He does it to irritate you more than anything else. Others who know him personally get a chuckle out of your reactions and false assumptions about him. 'nuff said. Carry on. I see very very few of his posts. I know he posts a lot because my filter spits out the senders/headers. It is annoying because it demonstrates his cowardice. He insults at will but keeps just about everything about his life a deep dark secret. He's a pussy. In junior high, where his development stopped, he would have had the **** kicked out of him several times a week, at least he would have at Sheridan. If you are going to play the game he plays, you should be man enough to stand up and take it in return. Like I said. False assumptions. It just annoys the hell out of you for some reason that he doesn't share all his personal information in an Internet newsgroup. Smart guy. BTW ... *you* are the one that has him filtered. Harry has turned into quite the crybaby. |

Perhaps this will help: Liberal arts, college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum. In the medieval European university the seven liberal arts were grammar, rhetoric, and logic (the trivium) and geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy (the quadrivium). In modern colleges and universities the liberal arts include the study of literature, languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, and science as the basis of a general, or liberal, education. Sometimes the liberal-arts curriculum is described as comprehending study of three main branches of knowledge: the humanities (literature, language, philosophy, the fine arts, and history), the physical and biological sciences and mathematics, and the social sciences. From the Britannica. A B.S. in Math is not, per se, a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum. You are using a pretty liberal interpretation of a liberal arts degree. It's the interpretation of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and is the classical definition. -- “My heart goes out to the people of Ebola.” Sarah Palin |
