I know quite a few people that are federal employees that contribute quite a bit. Not all of them are the blood-sucking leeches you lambaste them to be.

Again, you should read and reread so you don't sound ignorant when you post. I said I work for one of the top academic universities in the country. You have no idea as to what you are talking about. At this university, the average incoming gpa is 3.95 and average ACT around 31. Little correlation between grad school and intelligence??? Again, you have no idea what you are talking about.

it must be an honor to mow the grass at such a fine institute

This isn't the first thread started by truefan trying to pigeon hole the right/republicans into one negative category while trying to cast a positive light on the left/democrats. For the life of me it escapes me what that thread was about. It just always gets me that this is very typical of left leaning people, and it comes across as very self indulgent and gratifying and ya'll are supposed to be the "enlightened ones" who are so full of tolerance.

Lets get some facts straight, OK???? I didn't start this thread nor have I ever started a thread trying to pigeon hole the republicans into a negative light. You really need to get your facts straight. My claim was that most rich republicans are republicans because they are fiscally conservative. There was NO negative light put on it.

Get your facts straight so you don't post blatant lies. OK:thumbsup:

Sweden's model is fine because they're an industrious and hardworking people that contribute to and take from "state property" equally if not contribute more... same with pretty much any Scandinavian country.

I hate to sound jaded on this but if the US tried to implement a system that Sweden currently uses it'd be bankrupt within a month. There are fewer government regulations on the populous in Sweden than there are in the US.

pathetic. and what have YOU done exactly?

What is pathetic about it? That I am right about YOU. You often make these broad statements on certain subjects without having the first clue about it. Are you serious when you say there is no correlation between grad school and intelligence? The reason I ask is because it is one of dumbest(save any post from JoeVols320) statements EVER made in any chat room.

What have I done in regards to WHAT???

what have you done in life or do you simply live off the accomplishments of other people?

i'm saying that one going to grad school does not neccasarily make you smarter than the average college graduate and that many rational smart people don't waste their time getting phds.

Why don't you come on up to my university and I will take you out and introduce you to one of our grounds workers. You can tell him to his face the high regard you have for his profession. I am not going to step in during the 10 seconds it will take him to clean your clock

Nah, I've just relinquished all concern and have resigned myself to the impending NWO. The US, UK and Australia are at the forefront of this movement.

Admonishing Sweden because, yes, they have socialized medicine is complete fallacy. Sweden's model works. Thinking their model would work over here is also fallacy because most Swedes don't look to exploit any/all government program combined with the fact that their HCS comprises 9% of their entire GDP while the current US GDP HCS is around 16%.


So, besides their "broken health care" (I made an assumption)... how is Sweden a failure?

Yes, grad students are smarter than the AVERAGE college grad. The average college graduate is going to have a hard time getting into graduate school. Of course, you are probably thinking of University of Phoenix when YOU speak of grad schools. You continuing to debate this makes you look really foolish.

not really, i know some people i went through grad school with that were idiots. They may have done awesome on standardized tests, but their knowledge of real world applications was garbage.
