Man did not evolve from ape. Man and ape evolved from a common species. Creationists see the missing parts of evolution, the times for which no fossils have yet been discovered, and point to that as being proof against evolution and for creation. But that is like spotting a car on I-80 in Wendover, nevada and then spotting the same car on I-80 in Salt Lake City and saying it cannot be the same car because nobody saw it on I-80 at a particular mile marker somewhere along the route even though nobody was there to spot the car. Don't take this personally, lucky. Even though you and I have our disagreements I think you are to intelligent to believe that creationist crap.

So if your opinion is that Obama is worse,that's a defense to Palin being an idiot. Fun to watch the so-called independent defend the Republican time and time again, then recoil to independent; don't blame ya, who could admit they were a Bush / Palin / McCain voter? For a while i thought someone had kidnapped our guy lucky, but I see you are still with us.

I have seen newspaper and magazine articles about Obama that were aimed at the same age group. Does that also mean that they are Obama's demographic? I have come to expect better slams from you than that.

For those of you who have said they have experience hiring people, how do you react when you pick up a resume to read puffery and doubletalk like this? I would light a match and watch the pretty flames myself. If it is done in small or very modest amounts, that is expected and you can read between the lines...and most applicants know this. When done in large amounts I tend to take it as a personal insult, sometimes going so far as to ask the person if they really expect me to believe all the BS.

I would make you a bet if it were possible. I would bet that if both of us started the same business in the same building at the same time, and you hired non-degreed persons and I hired only degreed persons....I would make more money sooner than you, if you even managed to be competetive enough to stay solvent. Ten years experience plus a degree vs ten years and no degree? All else being equal that one is a no-brainer. The degreed person gets my hire every time. BTW, I have been interviewing and hiring people for over twenty years, both to work for me and to work for other companies. Even if the job has nothing to do with the degree the potential employee has, it still tells me several things about that person. It tells me they are able to set and acheive a goal, they are able to understand and follow directions, they are able to LISTEN, and they are willing to sacrifice immediate and short term happiness and comfort in order to ultimately be ahead of the game further down the road. Anybody who willingly lives in near poverty, eating mac & cheese every other day (and saving the leftovers), and puts in 80% of the hours available in a day to study gets my respect. I've been there and done that.

"Sometimes really educated people think/say ignorant things, sometimes people with real world experience experience understand way more than those with only a degree. Regardless of their education/experience, their thoughts/opinions should be able to stand on their own." You are absolutely right. So why does any of that give you cause to proclaim a college degree as useless? Why have you argued that those without a degree are better to hire than those with a degree?

Any of them that thought outsourcing or offshoring was a cost effective idea. Bank of America comes to mind as they spent millions to offshore and then millions to bring it all back. Those decisions were not made by accountants. They were made by CEO's, presidents, vice-presidents, board members, etc. Accountants only give them numbers to go by. It is up to those in charge to decide what to do with those numbers. Why don't you just admit that: 1. You couldn't handle college 2. You didn't know you were wrong when you thought you knew more than the profs. 3. You are bitter because of 1 & 2 and therefore are trying to persuade others that college is a waste of time. I'm just wondering when you will take your ball and go home because we won't let you make up the rules.

"Should companies only be using accountants to make all or most decisions? No. But many are and can't figure out why the overall numbers don't change. " Name at least one Fortune 1000 company that follows that policy.

"You don't have to have college for root cause analysis troubleshooting." You don't have to have college to perform an amputation either, but if i need one I'm going to a doctor who has been through med school. "Of the disasters listed, the majority were engineers being ignored by managers and accountants. Which had a "formal education." Really?? Which ones were those? The ones i referenced were caused by non-degreed persons thinking they knew more than the engineers who wrote the procedures they were supposed to follow and didn't. Failing to make it through college does not mean college is not worth the time and effort. Quite the contrary. This thread has shown that college serves well to seperate those with the ability to learn from those who can't or won't. That in itself is reason enough for a lot of employers to hire college grads.

Are you trying to start an argument? If so, you need a catchy headline like "More Proof the Bible is Full of Shit".

Quite the contrary, Heb 4:12 "The Word of God is alive and powerful sharper than any two edged sword , piercing even to dividing the soul and the spirit and the joints from the marrow, and is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

And would you be OK with grounding a skydiver that was depressed until a judge said he was safe? Would you prevent a depressed person from driving a car till a judge said he was fine? A judge is not an MD. Correct, most aren't. That is why judges rely on the advice and councel of experts.

No. Not until they can prove to a judge that they are no longer a threat to society. I think you phrased the question very well. Minimum details given lead to much more input.

If the founding fathers wanted to exclude them, wouldn't they have said so? People who are convicted of a felony lose many rights. It is part of the price they pay for they misdeeds. They can approach the courts and ask to have the right to bear arms reinstated. Same with those who have a history of mental illness.

Jerry, Which New Testament are you referring to? The market-place is being glutted with new books which are being represented as versions of the Bible. Each one claims to be the very word of God, yet there are literally thousands of differences between them. Protestant translators sometimes did not have access to all of the Received Greek Official Text of the King James version, they sometimes put words into their translations based upon the Latin which were never there in the original Greek. There are a shitload of wrongly translated versus, omissions of important teachings like reincarnation, and inclusions of myths like “Hell”. These exclusions were designed to keep the masses in order. For hundreds of years bad translations have been made of bad translations that were made from bad translations....... With that in mind, how could anyone possibly know the exact content of the original writings?
