That"s one example of worthless degrees. There's more out there.

Going to college doesn't make you more intelligent than those who didn't.

As the recent college scandal has proven, there's a system of nepotism where kids are getting in because of who they know, not what they know.

There also needs to be a break down of what subjects are favoured by Democrats and what favoured by Republicans.

If the Democrats are churning out basic teachers and the Republicans are churning out Engineers then as an intelligence based subject Engineers are smarter than Teachers.


As Mark Twain said "Lies, damned lies and statistics".

My research, based on reading this thread, is that you are a massive ****.

Correct as always, Hiney.



I mean, here he's genuinely questioning college education as a barometer of intelligence because of a handful of comedy courses. That's on a par with the utter morons in Trump's team who have defended his blatant and embarrassing racism by saying things like "he can't be racist, he's got a black person in his team of advisors" and "this isn't racism, this is about socialism versus freedom".

It's unfathomably absurd and only the unconditionally stupid fail to see it.

Pathetic to watch over-analysis of this bullyboy racist thug businessman's tweets. If this freak somehow 'earns' another four years in office, then he should be ostracised and marginalised by the rest of the developed - and much of the undeveloped - world. Trump is a massive disgraceful stain on his country's standing in the world.

Hiney doesn't often do NSC's political threads, but, when he does, he nails it.

Well said. I come from a time when any one of Trumps scandals would have been enough to bring down a leading politician.

The lies enough would have been more than enough to discredit leading politicians career in the manner of Jonathan Aitken, John Profumo and Lord Kagan. Somehow he gets away with pushing the boundaries so far but never getting burned.

There are two things about Trump that wouldn't surprise me one bit.
1. Rumours of his liking of underaged girls were proved true.

2. His support base wouldn't care about 1.

I'm not so sure about that. It did for Roy Moore in solidly Republican Alabama - it's probably one allegation that could damage him.

The criticisms of Trump are entirely valid but devoted followers of Jeremy Corbyn have zero credibility when assessing the suitability of leaders ...

"Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures'... must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing - each act is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow.

You don't want to act, or even talk, alone; you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.' But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That's the difficulty. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father could never have imagined."

From Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free, The Germans, 1938-45 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1955)

We live in a new age where polar politics lends itself to his style. People pick a side, then because they believe it’s weak to ever admit wrongfulness, they stick to no matter how much worse it gets. It started with the generations that confronted teachers for taking their misbehaving children to task. You can never be wrong and just dismiss anyone or anything that challenges that by being overtly threatening towards, calling it fake, denying or whatever. Lying, cheating, rudeness, violence...these are desirable traits, promoted and held in high esteem by our culture today. We really have lost our way. Morally we’re bankrupt. Trump is just the figurehead for a much bigger problem across western societies today.
