Only if you are a tea bagger trying to keep membership up.
Education is a great thing. You can be educated in many things, so just because you are a biologist doesn’t make you an expert on the economy.
We need to realize principles, not papers with words.
You mean Harvard and Yale? Shut ‘em down.
Yes. Education is a terrible thing.
You’re right, we should make it illegal to get an education (sarcasm intended). In order to work as a congressman, a college degree is more or less required. You also can’t be successful in the financial, mortgage, and loan industries without a decent education.
Are you trying to say that you want people with only a high school diploma designing bridges and managing your finances?
It doesn’t surprise me to see something like this on Y/A. I think it is impossible to determine a stance on political issues without at least taking an economics class, unless you do extensive research on your own.
The only thing that scares the uneducated these days is three words: “High-school diploma”.
For the most part it requires an education to be successful in the financial industry and government.
Maybe we should have literacy tests.
no we need to get our balls back and show em we aint gonna be taken advantage of no more i just need a couploe of other people like me i aint scared to lose my life my kids be just fine they warriors and already got the basics down pat we need men willing to give thier lives again unlike this group of soft little fags who think they life worth more then everyone elses because they got kids we the last line between freedom and tyranny
No. We should be wary of the uneducated who allow those people to retain their power and control over us.
Broad generalizations are not the answer.
This is outlined in “Intellectuals and Society” by Thomas Sowell. The problem isn’t that they’re educated, it’s that Americans believe that just because someone got a Master’s in physics, that that someone suddenly can run economics.
perfect solution for america…lets make our people even dumber than they are
Oh, education is a horrible thing. You know. Ignore the fact that a majority of crimes occur in low-education areas. And that educated people are better prepared for the world, which is why they have these positions in the first place.
‘Education is no substitute for intelligence.’
Wow! Let’s create a new group to hate and blame for our problems. While the rest of the world is outpacing us in just about every way, let’s just forget about education and retire to our caves to beat the fleas out of the skins we wear. btw, you forgot that the educated are also over-represented in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, forestry, sewage treatment plant operations, city planning, the nuclear power industry, weapons development, etc. Good Lord! Some jobs just require more education …or would you rather they didn’t?
They would have realized this if they were educated
