[quote] If they are a minority, you do not know. So who are you going to trust - someone who made it on their merits? [/quote] You mean merits like academic achievement? Which is the entire point. Who cares that anyone got into college through affirmitive action if you know their accademic acheivements when they graduated? Since you are talking about special favors, why don't you back up that their academic achievement is also tainted from aa? [quote]Su

[quote][quote]Did you really just equate teaching as not doing anything? Wow.[/quote] No, but if you want to read it that way, that is your choice. But I will leave you with this - if "teachers" (and in this case and the previous ones I was referring to COllege Professors although I did not state that - my ommission) aer so smart, why are they not billionaires? After all tehy "teach us" about the stock market (and other things)[/quote] So wait, are teac

[quote]I can't comment as to whether 9 out of 10 people are "smarter" than I am. But as someone who has run a business for 15 years and experienced more than my share of challenges, I don't think luck has been a major contributor to our company's success.[/quote] I wasn't impling that 9 out of 10 people are smarter than you. I'm saying for every one sucessful person that has accomplished what you have, there were 9 other people who didn't make it simply because they hap

[quote]If you want to be a teacher - go for it. If you want to be a doer - I guess not, right?[/quote] Did you really just equate teaching as not doing anything? Wow. [quote]No, just produce something positive - in a quatifiable way.[/quote] And teaching doesn't produce anything positive (neither does it earn an income all of a sudden). double wow.

[quote]Ah, the ultimate moonbat response: Your success is just luck. Personal failure isn't your fault. It's not in your control. It's society's fault. [/quote] Awww, how cute. You actually think i was blaming society. Can you quote me where i said success is just luck? You are such a clever, clever boy. My word, you are very clever. Misrepresent, build up as rediculous strawman, knock down. So very clever. [quote]Don't forget the lu

[quote]You make it seem like only imbeciles work for Circuit City. Most patent offices only requires you to have a 4 year degree. Let me see here: some 'imbecile' who was just AN ASSISTANT EXAMINER revolutionized the world of Physics. Yes, I know that Circuit City and Patent Clerks are two different things. [/quote] Uh, are you picking a specific patent clerk, or were you picking a RANDOM patent clerk? If you check out the statement in the OP, it says a random ci

So much for quoting working like I'd expect...not sure what button to push other then the one labeled: blockquote. I'm really confused by this declaration: Those multinational corporations generate their wealth from the voluntary decisions of individuals. They cannot, unlike governments, force people at the point of a gun to do their bidding. If I don't like the product or service from company A, I can choose to use the product or service from company B.<br

This thread is filled with some ownage but this has got to be the reward for reading so far. Your original argument that a random IBM middlemanager would make a better president than Obama has been shown to be absurd,so now you resort to an ad hominem attack, trying to trivialize my actual experience with the subject at hand. I guess you didn't count on someone with, oh, actual knowledge of IBM middle management to pipe up. Your are more than&n
