LordShiva and DaShi's homework: Teh Disadvantages of Elite Education
I don't work at Microsoft and you clearly didn't read the post.
The same person that sneered at my rinky-dink school.
You should practice what you preach Asher. This is a total OWN GOAL.

Yes, why try to use our talents or intelligence? Why not become career 8th grade physical science teachers and kill our opportunities to get judicial clerkships, executive positions in important companies, etc?
The point of the article, as ably demonstrated by your lack of intelligence :PMS: , is just because you go to Yale or Harvard it doesn't automatically make you smart. Smart people can be found everywhere.
GWB is a prime example. The man is a complete tool.
"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

GWB is an exception you imbecile, this is quite obvious -- he has connections, but most have none whatsoever. If you're at an elite school there's essentially a guarantee of intelligence.

How is it an own goal considering I never had an Elite Education and I don't frown upon the tradeskills? I don't even have a problem with artists -- I love music and many forms of art.
I do have a problem with many people who go to schools -- elite or otherwise -- to get stupid degrees they never use. Take you, for instance. What's your degree in, again? Complete waste of taxpayers' money, and don't even try to tell me otherwise.
You are confusing my contempt for public funding waste on lost causes with contempt for people who lack Elite Educations, when even I haven't had an elite education...
Put simply: you are WRONG. WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED.

So you admit GWB doesn't have intelligence?

He does, but he probably would not have gotten into Yale without connections. So what?
I think you underestimate how many people get into Yale based on connections or SAT prep courses, which do not measure intelligence but how many times they wish to take the SAT and how much money they can spend ensuring they do well on it.

SAT prep courses are completely useless. Completely and utterly useless. I'm tired of these loser hippy types who complain the test is culturally biased or not fair or whatever. It's actually a very, very basic math and verbal test, and if you bomb it, it's on you.
Also these universities give you huge benefits for working, minority, etc that essentially add 200 pts to the score anyway.
Plenty of legacies get into Yale and Harvard but this is because they're quite bright because obviously they're kids of bright people.

I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

Somebody needs to tell the folks in St. Louis that neither Washington is anywhere close to them. What a bunch of idiots.
