>>I have a bachelor’s in math and a master’s in statistics from a good university.<<

On the Internet, no one knows you are a dog.

>>You’ve shown yourself to be naive among other things and I don’t give a fig what you think. I do KNOW that grading on the curve does indeed come into the picture in some classes even at the graduate level and even in the sciences. <<

You said math. You’re busted. And your story doesn’t jive with NOT taking math classes. Double busted.

>>You want to compete with cheaters? Be my guest.<<

So I can’t go after a degree in something I am already a professional at because it would be cheating? Like I said — dumbest thing I have ever read.

>>I always loved getting the highest grade in class, as I did many, many times. <<

Hey, repeat your sophomore year in HS enough times and eventually you’ll come in near the top of the class. Clearly that is as close to college as you got.

Educate me.

You have to compete with them in the real world - assuming they are staying here. If they are going home, what difference does it make?

When I was in college, some students would drop the class because I was in it raising the curve. I am not bragging. I went to college to get an education - it was expensive - I wanted all I could get for my money. I did not care what anyone else wanted for their money.

I agree with you.

Online potheads and other rabble tend to always be doctors, or know someoone that is.

Libwacker doesn’t appear to be a college type to me so far. Let’s see the transcripts.

Actually, I’d say lets see yours too. Otherwise this is all nonsense to boast about degrees.

>>Actually, I’d say lets see yours too. Otherwise this is all nonsense to boast about degrees.<<

I didn’t boast — just mentioned. And I have complete support for my statements so far.

[Tolaei1]

Have you posted credible support of you degree online? If you are going to claim one, I think it’s best to back it up with a trancript from the university. It’s hard to do, but it should be hard to make the claim.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Lies!? The answer is NOYFB!

Lying to tyrants is an honorable act.

[freedumb2003]

Again, my degree is not at issue here.

I have made statements about when courses are graded on a curve (math=NOT) and indicated a probability to pursue a degree in my chosen profession, which some people say would make me a cheater. THAT is the issue.

Others claim degrees in support of statements that are clearly not factual.

And no one on the Internets knows my RL infforation and a sideliner like you ain’t gonna get it because you don’t understand the argument at issue.

[LibWhacker]

LOL

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

ROFLOL!

[LibWhacker]

We’re just going to work harder. In fact the harder it gets, the better.

Please don't think I hate Asians. I actually love Asians (I even married one of them) and admire their work ethic. If they achieve lots of things through honest hard work, more power to them!

[LibWhacker]

What an imbecile.

[jusduat]

I always use mixed. Is there anyone who is certain they
do have pure ‘breeding’? However many generations back?

[LibWhacker]

I have no obligation or desire to educate you.

[BenKenobi]

Eritrea.

Italian East Africa. Look it up. :)

>>What an imbecile.<<

Excellent rejoinder and not undexpected.

Tough when you make a line in the sand and a cliff behind you, eh? One small push and there you go.

[DecentAmerican]

Reverse discrimination against whites and most definitely Asians continues all in the name of political correctness. But it is the bain of the US and European countries only.

Asian nations do NOT practice affirmative action. If you are white and live in Japan or South Korea, do you really think you can get into college based on your race? NO! They strive for competition there...only the best of the best get into the best schools, the best jobs.

But here in the US, our demand for “diversity” and political correctness has forced us to stress skin color over excellence. Race over ability. We do not prioritize quality and productivity, like in Asia, instead, we reward mediocrity.

How are we supposed to compete against other countries where only the best of the best get the highest positions.

Affirmative action and political correctness got us this current president. If we don’t stop this nonsense, we will continue to spiral this beautiful America into the pits of uselessness.

RE: "The whole system could break down if this continues."
I'll toss in some dittos on that one.

Here's why you would take Latin ~ so you can learn Spanish, French, Italian, Rumanian, Portuguese and Gallo well enough to read source documents written or printed in the Middle Ages. You learn Old West Gothic or Old Pre-Norman English so you can do a bit of study on Scandinavian languages ~ again to read Medieval source documents.

Then there's Latvian ~ they have some really hot chicks!
