Worse than a Wall Street Banker. Let alone its those of your ilk that have been responsible for creating destructive technologies that have resulted in the deaths of tens of millions. So, climb down off that high horse. Codswallop. Engineering majors have the highest ROI of pretty much any investment their parents can possibly make on their behalf. The scam is perpetrated by the banks that make the college loans, and the rules that the Congress the banks have bought has made on their behalf. It's also perpetrated by the colleges who continue to raise the cost of an education because they know the Govt. will continue to make the loans and the students will continue to be saddled with massive debt.

No-one is forced to send their kids to an expensive liberal arts school to prepare them for a career serving Big Macs. That is an option in a free country. In fact, no one is forced to send their kids to any expensive school - there are lots of fine community colleges around that are very inexpensive.

kallend 2,180 #31 August 18, 2013 Gravitymaster Scammers and their minions always have justifications. Indeed, the banks and the GOP have made numerous excuses for the student loan situation. I just teach young people the material they need to attain well paying careers and be very productive and useful members of society. How do you like that computer you're typing on, car you drive, plane you skydive from, clean water from your faucets, bridges you drive over, electrical power from your wall sockets, LED flashlights, etc..., all brought to you courtesy of well educated engineers?

Boomerdog 0 #32 August 18, 2013 So...you teach engineering and physics to high school students. I've taught College Chemistry to University Students. Add up all my academic and professional lab time and it's about 45 years. If you want to compare resumes, I'll be more than happy. I can splatter equations all over this board ranging from classical to atomic physics, quantum and statistical mechanics but that would serve no purpose, only insult the readership and make me out to be some egotistical egghead which I am far from but the bona fides you you use to justify your credibility just does not seem to be cutting here with some and definitely not me. So speaking as one of those "right wing anti science guys" who just happens to be a scientist, the proposed mechanism of global warming is certainly worth a good look and scientific investigation. There's some data there that does concern me. On a personal level, I don't want to free fall in polluted air or SCUBA dive in polluted oceans. I would, however, like to see good science done and let the data do the speaking. We've already seen "the books cooked" by left wing scientists over in the UK. Their data sets did not fit the political narrative and they got caught. For the record, I'd like to see fossil fuels go the way of the dinosaur (pun intended) but not at the expense of economic catastrophe. At some point, both sides are going to have to get to the table, face one another and get off this "my way or the highway" mentality. You teach kids, the leaders of tomorrow, don't you think you have the ethical and moral obligation to present both compelling sides of the argument for somewhere in the mix could be the solutions that they will need. Get the "political" out of the "science," and perhaps we'll solve this problem. Until then, your argument rings hollow. OBTW, my graduate work was in digital IR analysis of all plus a few more compounds noted by others in this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
