Can we please name this thread after someone who isn't awful?

Averroes is now awful? lmao

He's a pretentious idiot.

So are you, though.

Pointing out that college educated voters are trending D and WWC voters are trending R is not being a pretentious idiot.

please don't sign your posts, thanks

Oh sn#p.

Now that I've calmed down, I was probably too quick to call him awful, on second thought. His posts on that thread were awful, but otherwise he's a great poster.

What thread is this?

"Read is how you will". Profound.

"Read is how you will". Profound.

Really, nothing better for you to do?  All you can do is sit at home and critique people on the internet in grammar usage for fun, instead of doing something which is more important for your life goals.  This is what you spend your time doing.   

I got back from work and pressed the "new" button next to threads. I study most of the day on weekends.

"Gnostic" is a useless catch-all label that encompasses many wildly different and contradictory schools of thought and Gnosticism is usually loved by contrarians who love the losing side of history.

In a Gnostic world, Greatest I Am: "Today's Christianity has an elitist focus on secret knowledge and that only a select few can receive salvation through gnosis. The early Christian heresy of "Chalcedonianism" was far more progressive and extended salvation to all without access to special knowledge or study and lacks the elitist class bias of our inferior Gnostic form of Christianity."

I am unsure how comfortable I am with my name on this thing.

I guess I'll consent until someone worthy emerges.

Actually read the op and almost all terrible(few exceptions, eg minimum wage increase).

how is the taxing tax shelters bad, how is the college plan bad , how is the healthcare plan bad ,and how is giving incentives to  corporations not shipping jobs overseas bad.

STEM needs more money, humanities don't need much, if any cutting. Buying insurance across state lines doesn't solve anything. People overseas need jobs too, and their economies need it to develop.

I said we should cut humanities programs to fund job training and trade schools . I never said STEM doesn't , as those degrees get people jobs . I clearly said we should cut funding from degrees that don't get people jobs .

Yes  People  in other counties do need  jobs ,but our goverment first priority is to make sure people in our own country get jobs . 

You are what happens when government cuts humanities funding.

Dammit, Scott, beat me to it!

(In Gateway's defense, my humanities degree has yet to land me stable employment, but seriously, f#ck him)

You have a degree already?

I'm... 21.

Or he has a summer bday

November. Surprisingly enough, a lot of people I know had birthdays around or after mine and still graduated with me or before me. 17 + 4. I left school with about 23 more credits than necessary for a bachelor's degree (though I had 9 credits' worth'a help from AP tests).

You two are both more likely to survive your first year after undergrad in dignity than I, so take heart.

The fact that you guys will delete that, but do nothing about Klartext really does show how bad the state of this forum is.

Everybody has their own hit list. Why can't we all just get along?  Anyway, I repeat, sometimes offensive posts do not violate the TOS. The most frustrating situations are when a poster avoids personal attacks, and has opinions that many or most find horrific (and sometimes even frightening), but they fall short of outright bigotry and hatred. Remember that poll I had about whether being an incorrigible jerk should violate the TOS? Forum opinion on that was split down the middle. It's clear to me, that there is no set for forum policies that will not have their share of critics. And that is putting aside what DAVE wants, as if one puts him on "ignore." Such is life.

Can't we all just f*&%ing get along?

That's up to you guys.

I salute this name change, Kal.  Bravo!
