“GWB may well have screwed up as a President, but do you think that ‘stupid’ men can fly single-seat fighter jets?”
Since you mentioned GWB the answer is resounding YES.

Then I guess our definitions of ‘stupid’ differ.

Ivy league university were once the elite institutions of higher learning with challenging curriculum. Apparently, they are now more interested in advancing woke policies and agendas rather than maintaining high educational standards.

It simply means that anyone stupid enough to go there deserves to get a diploma from there. A diploma from there will maybe get you a job at a fast-food joint - as long as the job doesn’t require handling any money.

I think there is a growing concern(possibly justified) that many places may not hire based on what college you attended. Sure glad I saved my money.

It’s been this way for decades. Was the same when I attended Stanford in the 80s. They used to say “the hardest part in getting in” which still holds true.
To: KingofZion
Stanford in the 80’s I sure you earned your way through. Not so much today.

Not really on point, but when I was in seminary in the ‘60s I sat next to a guy in Psych class who had just spent two years at Cornell. He said the basic rseminary classes were much tougher than most of them at Cornell.

I agree, but it does have something to do with not being ‘stupid’, which was my point.
