One is Bachelors?
One is Masters?
One is PhD?

Suck my oversized overserviced ****, if you have a graduate degree it's in some kind of art.

[Wiglaf]

No, two are undergrad. Tricked you. **** face. Perhaps when you are done jerking it off to my impressive educational resume we can get back to how I'm destroying you in this thread. If you ever wanted to have kids, you might want to check your nuts, for I think I have destroyed them here today.

I am demolishing you like Rosie O'Donnell demolishes a twinky. You wish you had my propensity for owning. I actually went to a school that wasn't geographically confused, I find it helps.

Plenty of legacies get into Yale and Harvard but this is because they're quite bright because obviously they're kids of bright people.

Actually, I went to an Ivy, and every time I met someone who didn't seem quite bright enough to be there, it turned out he or she was a legacy.

(Of course, Bush's Yale degree should be proof enough of Wiggie's fallacious reasoning there, but I thought I'd throw in my own $0.02.)

The article's biggest indictment is that the Ivy schools have gotten progressively further away from traditional liberal/humanities edication, acting more as portals to career entitlement throught networking than as guides to true intellectual pursuit.

Those few downtrodden people allowed entry into the Ivy schools are still sucked into the elitist system while being constantly reminded that they are not "one of us" at every turn. And this is done while continuing the entitlement of so-called legacy admissions, which is how losers like W are admitted.

Geographically confused? What the **** DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. You probably didn't even go to a ****ing school and just blew every professor wearing bermuda shorts.

Good to know you think everyone gets into Harvard because of their daddy though. If it makes you feel better for going to stanley cup University or the school of fantasy hockey, so be it, just don't bother this ****ty site with your fantasies about my twinkie.

As long as they're getting away from that that in the direction of the sciences, it's not a problem

I just realized I forgot the link. Added.

The author was an English prof for 10 years at Yale.

Translation, he did nothing all day and pretended like anyone cares about his useless hobby while they tested the nitrogen bomb in the 'important building' down the street.

Having a University of Washington in St Louis. It's just all kinds of ****ed up.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: My school had an annual "bermuda shorts day" (BSD) that was my favourite day of the year.

That's the other thing, Yale and Harvard have crap hockey teams. They're too busy ****ing eachother and reciting pretentious poetry to eachother instead of playing the game.

You share my assessment of people with BA/MA degrees, then.

[Theben]

It's settled. Asher and wiggy agree!

[Wiglaf]

No, but English is by far the most useless of the BAs.

I know this They added 'in st louis' to the name recently but it only made it worse.

Hey, Washington U. in St. Louis is a pretty damn good school.

I was hoping for an actual discussion here, but this thread has gone south pretty quickly. However, please continue.

A real discussion is nice too, if someone wants to have it. No one is contesting it so far though, or at least contesting it seriously.

(And the University of Washington in St Louis actually is known very well in computer science circles, I know it's a good school. Wiglaf is one smart cookie [perhaps gingerbread] and that speaks volumes. )
