    The irony of you saying this to someone that fled communism is mind numbing.
    Who fled communism?

    I see we're down to liberal name calling. All the same. Never having lived in the world makes one sensitive. Having lived in the world I could give a hit what you or anyone else says. I've had more insults and threats than Trump. Like water off a ducks back.

    Now go back to your Marxist studies. I know how interesting they were for you. Did you do Lenin, Engels, Mao, Stalin Krushchev and Ho too?

    Betting you did at least some of them. Just to see. Getting sucked in in college isn't knew here but some of us resisted those washed up hippie professors.
    What are you fucking twelve? JFC. When you put your dick in your mouth, you really go for it eh?

    You've embarrassed yourself terribly in this thread. Even by your standards, this has been a spectacularly stupid performance.

    Just go sleep it off stupid.

    And, still, the essential point eludes you.

    Well I don't recall. So many people so many stories. I know you have some Cuban/Spanish you were in Cuba? If so I am unaware.

    Eludes? Maybe. Don't know definitely.

    If only the socialist fags here would read. I posted links for Hondo that were very basic. Henry Hazlitt, Hayek, Mises, Friedman. He would even take the time to read and formulate cohesive arguments. Waste of space. An emotional dip shit. 100% that Hondo hasn’t read Marx.
    You posted those links when I was working 70-80 hours a week for a few weeks. When my schedule (you know, real life) calmed down a few weeks later. I asked for them again and you refused to provide them. For quite a while. I was genuinely interested in reading them. But you see Mike. I only use this forum on my phone and the search function on mobile is shit. And desktop site on mobile is shit.

    So repost them. I'd even welcome a new thread that we can argue about shit.

    El oh fucking el. The only thing you were spending 80 hours on is camping out here.

    So many excuses. Fuck off. You’re. It genuinely interested in anything except excuses and lying. The links are still on the board. Find them yourself fuck stick. My god you’re pathetic

    I would guess about 10% of those with BS degrees are actually working in a field that is related to their major. Most companies care about college because it proved that you could see something through for 4-5 years. I'd say it's a pretty expensive and mostly unnecessary litmus test for 81% of the jobs out there.
    Double major Poly Sci and Econ. I kill bugs. This checks out.

    Pure crap, Hondo had no problem running his mouth in other threads during the same time frame.

    This cuts both ways. It sounds like you're all about indoctrination as long as it's the right kind. That's not education. That's indoctrination. Her econ degree, from Boston University, isn't to blame for her values and her beliefs. She is smarter than a good chunk of the dummies in Congress. I think that's pretty plain to see. But she's also an unrealistic dreamer who is carrying a torch for something related to her upbringing ... or something. That doesn't make her stupid any more than Marxist philosophy made Lenin stupid. I know stupid when I see it. She's terribly misguided, inexperienced, young and likely a little damaged from something. But not stupid.

    I think you take an exaggerated and selective view of our educational institutions. They pump out smart and effective people who are taught to think. My kid just graduated from a place you no doubt would score as an indoctrination center, and the the truth on the ground is that it's not really true. It's a liberal place, because young smart kids often tend to question and are full of idealism because life hasn't beaten it out of them yet. And still, kids are going on to all manner of places and careers that are hardly bastions of socialist thought.

    Sure, they question things a lot. That's what you should be doing right after college. There's nothing wrong with studying view points outside of the boundaries you mention above. I am certain that Plato, Aristotle and Socrates would ask you what you're so afraid of. Critical examination of the "other" didn't frighten them. I'm about as capitalist as they come. Talk about indoctrination - when your family lost everything it had to a Marxist revolution, you get pretty well indoctrinated. But I spent a lot of time at Washington studying Marx. And that made me a better thinker. Hiding me from it would have rendered me a lesser educated person. I have a pretty good understanding of historical materialism and Marxist thought, and yet I believe that at this point in human history, capitalism, ever so tweaked at the margins, is still the best system for us. My advisor in the Philo department, Ken Clatterbaugh, was a card-carrying Marxist and one of the best and smartest professors I ever had. He also wrote my recommendation to law school.

    And, still, here I am, humping for the man.

    The sky is not falling. Relax.
    Good post.

    I agree with that 100%. It applies across the academic spectrum too. I was speaking to one of my D's professors (science guy) about this and that after graduation, and he actually said out loud in response to something I said that he was glad I mentioned what I mentioned because "I'm in a bit of a bubble here."

    Still, Ken was one of the professors who taught me how to think. Not "what" to think, but "how" to think. He didn't mind if I blasted Marx in a paper. But he insisted I do more than base my view on simplistic emotional bleeding, as our local retired cop tends to favor. To do well there, I had to understand Marx to begin with before I could write about a paper about anything having to do with it.

    The Philo department at UW is a hidden gem. I assume they're still safely tucked away up on the top floor of Savory Hall where 98% of the student population don't dare (or care to) set foot. I remember how shocked people outside the major were when their shit papers would come back full of red ink and a "D+" grade on it. People think that department and major is easy. It really isn't.
    I got my ass handed to me in a "Philosophy of Asian Religions" course in Savory. My ass hurt for weeks taking that class. Philo was no joke.

    edit: Did well in a Logic course there, but that was harder than I thought it would be as well. I basically took these two courses the same quarter thinking they would be easy A's, because I think I had business statistics and some other math class for Econ that quarter as well, and instead ended up getting raped by the Philo courses so I never took another one. No easy A in Philo. Fuckers.

    Most people I know did fine in intro to logic. 120. Then some tried intermediate, and many were uncomfortable but go through and said "no mas". The brave who went to advanced didn't enjoy it. All classes were also full of math and the version of comp. sci that existed back then.

    I used to think your routine was a schtick.

    Now I'm more convinced that you are an actual moron in real life. Either born that way or serious head trauma in your Copper life.


    Either way, you're fucking stupid.

    I don't know your life story. Nor do i, at this point, give two shits. You are definitely an attorney. Petty. HTH

    bleh on logic at UW, it's completely centered around symbolic logic as a service to as you mentioned, Comp sci and math majors taking the course. It really does a disservice to anyone else attempting to take logic to, you know, learn logical argumentation.

    Yeah, that's what sucked about it. I thought I was taking some debate prep type logic class and instead basically got my third math class of the quarter. FML.

    @UW_Doog_Bot when I was an Econ major there were two tracks - BS and BA. Is it still that way?
