One would think that with as many of his own posts he replies to he would know what he said. :P


I firmly believe it has a LOT more to do with the fact that it has been proven that it is easier to remember facts than it is lies and rhetoric.:)


you must have a very bad memory...

(there doesn't seem to be a general 'add reply' facility on this forum - only reply to or quote a specific post. if i want to add anything without specifically replying to someone then the easiest, least confusing route is to reply/add to one of my own posts - usually the very first opening post)

haha - what a comedian (confirming something i've long thought)

meanwhile back on topic...

As in most corners of American life, crisis is the new normal in academia. Investment returns to university endowments have plummeted, state aid is being cut, and critical federal stimulus dollars are running out. Tuition is up, enrollment is being capped, positions are being eliminated, and universities are increasingly relying on part-time adjunct faculty that shuttle from campus to campus in an effort to cobble together a paycheck.

Parents, out-of-work and saddled with depleted savings and home values, are less able to afford tuition than ever. As these axes fall, conservatives are pushing to remake universities in the image of private corporations: budgets dependent on the generosity of rich people, professors instructed to prove their market fitness or pack their bags, and cuts to the humanities in favor of more “practical” courses of study.

University of California Berkeley political scientist Wendy Brown argues that, paradoxically, public universities are most at risk of corporate takeover. Private colleges will remain dedicated to providing the elite with a well-rounded, liberal arts education. Higher education as a whole will become more stratified and less inclusive.

Hobbled by a 17-percent mid-year cut in 2009, the University of Arizona, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University raised tuition by between 16 and 20 percent for the current academic year. More cuts are expected.

>i'm just passing on their prophets message

Uh, no, you're preaching; giving your own interpretation of what Jesus said, very vocally and very often. That's fine; you clearly have very strong religious beliefs. Preach on brother!

>concentrate now...

I am! I'm listening to the sermon!

>and remember it's the rich christians . . .

. . . who are the devil in your religion.

Good luck with the evangelism!

>credible arguements

Dude, you ran out of credible arguments about 80 posts back. I'm just enjoying myself, listening you preach about Jesus while claiming that "other people" will be going to Hell for what they have done - while doing the same things yourself. You'd make any televangelist proud.

(and i'm enjoying watching you go round in circles of ever decreasing credibility. waiting for that moment you get back on topic. go on, set an example)

and as the rich get richer...

One hundred institutions now charge $50,000 or more a year in tuition, fees, room, and board. In 2010, the University of California at Berkeley became the first public university to charge that much, though only for out-of-state students. Out-of-state students are cash cows, and universities around the country are seeking to increase their number on campus: they pay higher tuition but dilute the state university’s mission to educate local students.

Community college enrollment is booming as people seek shelter from a punishing labor market. But the underfunded schools have been hit with canceled and overcrowded classes despite increased federal support ushered in by President Obama. The City College of San Francisco even considered selling off the naming rights to classes.

just nonsensical spam from you then...

(i wonder how long billvon will let you get away with it)



Rather less than the 11 pages of spam you've given us so far, I'd wager.



well, after successfully baiting and hooking billvon on the 'christian' message (he's not a christian so i don't know why he's fretting so much about it) i am quite happy to leave this thread with the children...

You have incredibly low standards for success or a definition known only to you. But your "I'm just here to troll" admission is way over due.



It just so happens that that message is the truest thing he has ever spoken here.

I still wonder why he is incapable of answering my questions.

Why do you think that is?
