Wish I could watch this, but I am at work.
How universities rot the mind.
By the way, could this "scholar" possibly, like, use the word "like" more?

you're not missing much
Wow. You must have had a lot of schooling then.
I think we should just do away with higher education all together.. it serves no purpose and everyone knows that all of the academic world hates america..
Clearly universities rot the mind. That is why the money you make in your lifetime goes up exponentially with the amount of schooling you have.
In any event, I can't watch that video, but its common knowledge that our founding fathers were considered terrorists in their day.
Good point. If Britain had a "kill list" and cruise missles, I doubt Washinton would have survived the first month or so.
Did you see the guy in the background (upper right corner) between 1:25-1:30? He was like "wtf, , are you on crack?"
I think "universities [rotting] the mind" is a little far to go, there's always tools like this in every school on both extremes regardless of the current political climate. I was pretty fortunate to attend a high school/university and have teachers that made it clear they didn't have all the answers, the text didn't have all the answers, and I'd have to think for myself eventually.
Really, her use of the word "insidious" was insidious.
Your indoctrination is complete.
they were considered terrorists by the UK... you do know that right?
Did you see the guy in the background (upper right corner) between 1:25-1:30? He was like "wtf, , are you on crack?"I didn't notice that.
Maybe "rotting the mind" was a bit too far, but I do believe the liberal arts depts. of major universities are filled with leftist wackjobs. I remember taking a Texas History class back in the late 80's and all the prof. wanted to talk about was how great communism was and how it was superior to capitalism. I wanted my money and time back after that semester.
I'm convinced...

They went to England and killed British citizens? I seem to recall something about "redcoats".
So the only way to consider someone a terrorist is if they come here to kill American citizens?
Were the USS Cole bombers terrorists?
The Cole bombers were simply fighting for their independence?
You and GGA are really helping me make my case.
show where i stated today's terrorists are fighting for their independence. in order for your argument to hold any water you need for me to compare the two. Show me where I do..The Cole bombers were simply fighting for their independence?
You and GGA are really helping me make my case.
when you can't find it then you will have to backtrack from the 'making my argument' for me crap..
The problem I see is that it now takes a few years of college to get the equivalent education of an 8th grader of the 50's.
damn straight. why the heck would all those high falutin docs, engeeneers, pretty ladies at the hospitals, and those high brow snots in lab coats need anything more than grade school ?
That is what is known as a "strawman" logical fallacy.

The more bad logic someone uses to make their case, the more skeptical you should be about their ultimate conclusions.
You completely missed his point.

How can I make your case when I never made any statements about the Cole bombers? I asked you a question which you have yet to answer.
What definition of terrorist?
In Math? Absolutely. Probably in other subjects as well. The number of students who have to take remedial courses in college is amazing.
i got it. universities have, according to him, essentially have become stagnant. it is a ridiculous assertion. i know of know 8th grade curriculum that includes quantum physics, differential equations, C+ programming, network architecture, building design, autoCAD, anatomy and physiology, calculus based physics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology or even in the liberal arts demands essays on anything ranging from postmodern literature to epistemology.
and i certainly do not see grants being dished out to grade schools so as to facilitate the R&D that goes on at major universities.
but perhaps you and WC were already outhinking the average MIT freshman when you were pulling pigtails and throwing spitwads.
You said it's common knowledge that the founding fathers were terrorists. I'd like an explanation of that. Having taken my own share of college-level history classes, that doesn't jive with anything I know.
Big, huge, gargantuan difference between rebelling over lack of representation and liberty and being a terrorist. Even if that's sort of what the British Empire labeled them as for propaganda purposes.
Although I think WC's statement was laced with hyperbole I do find the state of a great deal of high school graduates and early college students to be quite sad. I'm not sure how it compares to what was done in the 50s but I do not find the current situation satisfactory.
