    VM you are opposing the death penalty, but not other penalties such as life imprisonment. Why is that? You clearly agree that punishment is necessary and good. You are opposing punishment with punishment.

    My guess would be that most if not all gedolim had no beards for the first twelve years of their life. Thats when they were gedolim ketanim.

    Saysme: If you want my take, its misplaced nostalgia of sorts. Most traditional employers right now are old school folks, and measure you by their own perhaps outdated standards. I got a BA so I want to see you do the same if you want to work with me. Why you were a philosophy major at Edison who decided to go for a career in finance is a story they can respect, even though logically it may make no sense to value that over no degree at all. As time passes employers will get wise to the online degree scam and learn to value it appropriately (as they did with BTL and then with Touro).

    Government jobs are a different story and might have pay scales or requirements that incent or require the degree.

    Again, this is all applicable when we are talking about a career that doesn’t have specific BA requirements. Obviously anything in the medical field is going to have specific requirements, but I’m talking about the careers where knowledge by any means is the requirement.

    Squeak is a fascist

    I wouldn’t deny it if it was true, but I don’t see how that follows. In any case, I was just making a point. Not sharing my personal values.

    I don’t mean double taxation as in corporate profits followed by personal profits. I mean that after the income is taxed what’s left should be mine. Wealth is post-tax income not spent.

    Now if you’d like to discuss my personal opinion on this (which is: a bank account should be subject to property tax like any other significant asset) somewhere else I’d be glad to. Just not near Ayn Rand.

    Taxing assets is double taxation. You already took your cut when I earned it and didn’t spend it. I don’t want to get involved here but I think that was simple enough.

    “even if it’s a degree in tennis and i’m applying to a dental office job?”

    Perhaps, though a degree in tennis might not count for much anywhere. But any ordinary major would be fine no matter where you end up; you might be asked to talk about why you chose to work as a dental hygienist after studying english literature in college, but in my opinion that would make a good interview topic if you had a good story behind the decision (something better than simply that english people have bad teeth)

    MR, nope, there never were any. It has been all but proven that the intel was fabricated so that jr. could get revenge for his tatte. The sites that supposedly had the wmd showed no evidence of ever having any, radiological or otherwise.

    Don’t ignore the value of being able to write it in the resume. While you may not need the BA to do your chosen job, you may find you need one to get your chosen job. Many employers view a degree as a stepping stone, rite of passage into the career, or what have you.

    Inspirational material has been demonstrated to not help with happiness, self-esteem, or self-improvement over any significant amount of time. In fact it often has the opposite effect because of the letdown factor. The motivational industry has been pushing the stuff for decades, so we have decades worth of failures to prove the negative effects.

    There is not nearly enough Demotivator material though. Demotivation helps you set your sights lower, so you avoid missing your goals and feeling bad about yourself. Plus, its funny instead of sad. I’d trade a hundred inspiration books for one t shirt.
