Reason and coherence are overrated. I'm bored. You can have the last word. Just for fun, see if you can make it shorter than my post.

As much as I like to argue, even I don't want to spend that much time doing it. Proof is only for someone who wants to convince, not for someone who wants to plant seeds of doubt. I like to dwell on unprovable truths and unprovable falsehoods, since they're so very close that they might as...

Finally, someone who sees the obvious, and doesn't just automatically jump to calling everything equal right off the bat. That's what I can't stand, even though I wanted to see how many people would say it.

I didn't say I'd conform to existing rules and regulations. I'm not about rules. I'm about common sense. There are many rules out there in this world that are based on common sense, and many that are not. I'm not playing by your rules. Instead I WILL say that if I construct a degree...

"You need to specify this, you need to specify that, you need to prove this, etc. etc." That's all I ever hear on these forums. What you all really mean is, "You have to go by what the current authority calls proof. Any other proof is not acceptable." And this proof is based on the letter of...

This was merely to show that someone can hypocritically on one day say, "Yeah, that's a blow off class," and on another day say, "Yeah, all classes are equal." I may be rude, but at least I'm consistently rude. I'm not going to go and say all degrees are equal. Better than someone on this...

Well if I stopped making statements like that I would be politically correct, and that's not going to happen. There are oftentimes I will accept the authority of somebody who is recognized in their field, and oftentimes I will not. I've read "The Ego and the Id" by Freud, and after that...

Art is an example of tacit knowledge, which is different from intellectual knowledge. Painting isn't as much of an intellectual activity as deriving and solving equations. No one's saying it's easy. It's just not intellectual. Vermeer and Dali painted some amazing works, and that talent is...

Yeah, but my undergraduate is in math, not in sociology. However, if I would have taken all math classes, I would have drowned in the difficulty. I padded it out with sociology classes to make achieving a math degree, much, much easier. Because math is hard, and sociology is not. And that's...

No one's denying woodwork is useful. It's useful as heck. I use it lots more than I use chemistry too. It's just not as intellectually challenging as chemistry. Bottom line.

So you are saying the difficulty isn't equal, but we can't compare the difficulty level? How do you know it isn't equal then? What, we have to now say WWE Trivia is potentially just as difficult as Quantum physics now since it's not apples to oranges?

Then you do not have enough evidence to evaluate anything I say because you have not personally shadowed me my whole life. You don't have to completely evaluate something from head to toe to form an opinion that carries weight. But all that's irrelevant. Here's the thing to consider. I...

Trust me, it's not hard to get. I obtained a teaching certificate, became a teacher, hated it, became unemployed for a while, found a new job shoveling corn, found a less physically laborious job after that, and let the darn certificate expire. My undergraduate is not in education, but I...

I know that's right. The IRS sure as heck found a way to make taxes extremely difficult, even though I've always felt that the taxation process should be easy for the common man to understand. I'm studying accounting myself, and half the time I think, "You know, a field like biochemistry is...

My dad told me this a while ago. It's a depressing but wise statement. That's why I'm at the point where I only go to school for money now. No other reason. If I want to study for truth or for fun, I'll do it on my own time. My career is not for fun. It's for money. I found out I am...
