You still in ABQ, Manny?
Hey, it's your fault you can't be honest over something that wasn't a big deal. You tried calling _JaG out for something on which he was correct and are now dodging.
You still in ABQ, Manny?
Why do I need to be honest? You know whats on my diploma better than I do. What exactly was Jag right about? I certianly didn't major in psychology nor do I have a degree in psychology.
I didn't go to UT, but tell me, are their degrees listed here listed incorrectly?

It wasn't, and isn't a big deal, but I don't get why you need me to be honest when you obviously know these things.
Tiago is going to be in foul trouble throughout this series... If you thought some of those calls in the 2nd half were bull , wait till we set foot in Portland... Blazers get amazing home cooking...
Tell easjer to stop talking about your flesh.
Did you even look at your link? They call them majors right at the bottom of the page. The reason why they used "degree" at the top is because most people only get one major when they get their degree. Functionally, there's little harm in confusing the two, but they are in fact different.
_JaG was correct when he said the subject matter you focus your studies on is a major (or a concentration depending on the school). You were incorrect in snarkily calling it a degree and not a major. So I asked you to tell me what school you went to so I could look up a diploma to see why you were confused. It's not really that complicated.
A link to clear things up: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th...major?#slide=1
Diaw isn't much of an option against LMA, at least not straight up. Splitter and Duncan should get the bulk of the assignment and I like sending the occasional double as Aldridge is an average passer tbh.
Yeah, Diaw is going to have to step up, because Splitter won't be able to match minutes with Aldridge every game.
I expect early foul trouble for him early in Game 2. Tbh.
I think Duncan would only really work if the Spurs sent doubles every so often to prevent Aldridge from driving. As far as Diaw goes, he can certainly play better. It's one thing for LA to shoot over him, but there's little reason why he should be able to drive past Diaw.
This is the stupidest ing argument I've been involved in quite some time. Jag called ME a psychology major. Go back and read it. I've never been a psychology major and I do not have a psychology degree. You then said my degree wasn't awarded in anything. My diploma specifically states bachelor of science in environmental science. If you find it so ing hard to believe you might actually be wrong, then fine. You're right.
Diaw did well against him in the 1st half, actually. I"m not too sure that will be reliable going forward but Diaw is underrated at a defender.
Sup Kool?Dude, I post here every day. I just use my troll names
Technically, _JaG called himself a Pysch Major, but he may well have meant to call you one:
_JaG
You then responded with this:... As a psychology major, I don't expect you to actually understand what I'm trying to say.
So I corrected you, since you thought you knew enough to act snarky about it.... PS I'm not a major and my degree isn't in psychology.
If you had actually been following our exchange, you would understand that your school prints certificates like the University of Phoenix does, technically short-handing the distinction between degree and major. Had you gotten a double major, your degree would have indicated the difference, but it still would have been one degree. Like, had you also gotten a major in animal behavior, then it would have still been one degree. However, if you could have also studied environmental engineering, which could have allowed you to dual-degree in both the Life Sciences school (or the equivalent school in whatever university you went to) and the Engineering school.
In short, I don't care about the general confusion people have between degree and major. It usually doesn't matter, and it's none of my business anyway. I only brought it up because you tried to cheap-shot someone else when you didn't know yourself. This is indeed one of the stupidest arguments I've had on ST as well, but it's not my fault you both didn't know the difference and chose to flaunt that lack to knowledge for the whole forum to see.
For school still?
I said he technically did. The phrase, "as a (X), ... " can technically only be applied to whatever is directly on the other side of the comma. In the case of that quote, "I" was. So, yes, he te ally did, even if he didn't intend it that way.LOL you think Jag called himself a psych major?
As for the rest, I guess my transcripts are wrong too. I guess everything that denotes my BS in EnviSci as a BS in EnviSci is just wrong while you are right.
Again, you're just being foolish. Your transcript indicates your major. It's not a degree. The "BS" is the degree part, but the "in (X)" part indicates your major. But there's little point in continuing this line of discussion, since I've shown plenty of clear evidence why you're wrong (and given you outs) while you continue to bring up anecdotal evidence that can't be verified.
For someone who didn't even understand what Jag was saying and for someone who doesn't even know the school I went to you're very sure of the practices and the way they describe the degree on both my diploma and transcripts. I guess you can't just admit you're wrong. Fair enough.
Why would it need to be verified? You obviously know.
I don't need to know what school you go to in order to know what the words "degree" and "major" mean. I mean, you can just open up a dictionary to verify that. And I don't know what _JaG actually intended to say, since I have no idea about either of your histories. I just commented on the literal implications of his quote.
Both of you to your rooms... turn off the TV... NOW
Oh, well if you know what the words mean then you obviously know the practices of every school who hands out degrees and how they designate them. I apologize for my indiscretion.
Yeah. This is the same crawfishing crap you're pulling in this general thread. You keep trying to move goal posts and muddy the issue instead of just admitting you were wrong. You made a mistake. It's cool. No one cares, even if it was ironic that you tried to correct someone else who was actually right. Just own up to it instead of trying to hide behind a horrible argument like, 'my school doesn't care about the dictionary.' That's especially true since you feel like your alma mater is somehow as intimate of a secret as your social security number.
If you were half as smart as you thought you were you'd have figured out my alma matter simply from the information on this page. Its not a secret but that doens't change the fact that you don't know. I'm not wrong, and I don't have a problem admiting when I am wrong as I showed earlier. You don't have any of the information but you somehow think you know the practice. You didn't even know what the Jag was saying at first, said the exact opposite, and still think you're right.
Ok then. You're right man. But This is the last thing I post on the subject. We can go back to talking about how I was wrong about Tiago instead.
