If Dude wants to eat someone, maybe he could get some receipes from ... Dahlmer????
I wasnt getting you and UFC mixed up, I was referring to you as the guy with 6 degrees. UFC apparantley has absolutely NO problem believing a man claiming two doctorates, something that less then a fraction of one percent of all people have done, yet blantantly refers to me as a liar, when my story is similiar to about 20% of more of all relatively young college grads, and contains nothing at all outlandish.

It makes you wonder......

Well, I only have 5 degrees....I'll bet you can't come up with a better waste of time than doing that!

Anyway, have you decided to move to Canada or Denmark? You would be happier there. The girls in Denmark are hot. The ones in Canada are too.

Not only that, but you would be living with socialists who enjoy many governmentally supplied benefits, and with a lower standard of living--but one thing I will say, the beer in Copenhagen is outstanding...it really is the best beer I've had.

So, you are not defining education by actual education.......

Wow, I didnt know you were close personal buddies with UCF, now I get where the back washing comes from.

Physical labor takes personal drive. If I did not have any drive, why would I bother spending hours putting in a garden to save a few bucks, or learning about and working on my own car.

Aside from anything physical, if I had no drive, why exactly, did I graduate college FAR sooner then the average person starting after high school. Why did I pick a subject that had a decent level of difficulty, rather then taking the path of least resistance like so many college grads?

As Ive repeatedly said, no bad "choice" Ive made has dropped me in to the situation Im in. I made every "right" choice in life. I just have never been lucky enough to be in a situation that any of those "right" choices has resulted in me being in a financially comfortable position.

Actually, most of those countries have a higher standard of living. They have better access to healthcare, less poverty, a lower gini index, better infant and disease survival rates, less death from preventable illness, less obesity and obesity related illness. It goes on and on.

The only difference is that there are few who are rediculously wealthy. Boo hoo. Cry me a river.

I dont know, are you buying my 350k dollar house in Toronto and ensuring me steady employment when I get there? If so, I will apply for Canadian citizenship tomorrow. According to the Canadian website, I should be able to meet their standards for immigration.

Until then, I have to make one of those "poor person" choices that Im "forced" to make because I dont have enough income to make other choices.

A drag on society......Thats funny. Ive been paying taxes since I was 17, and I have not one but TWO illnesses that each I could have easily been declared disabled for and became an actual drag on society.

As for you taking some sort of credit for anything other then being an imbecile, that is certainly misplaced. You obviously have a deep need to continuously inflate your worth. That sounds like something you need professional help for.

I dont think you actually know what the truth is. You are nothing more then an ignorant racist who lives in a fantasy world of inflated self worth constructed to stroke your fragile ego. I think lying to yourself is far worse then any lie that can be told to the world at large.

There is no reason for me to ensure (insure) you anything. You are supposed to be a man. Do it yourself. Don't cry; do.

Not the government's. Not mom and dad. Not Society's. Not the College. It is YOURS...completely totally and alone. If you don't like that--ok. Your likes and dislikes don't change it one iota.

Be carefull....your credibility is suffering...calling someone names only serves to punctuate ignorance.

There is a reason to ensure (please do not try to correct me when you are incorrect), that reason is exactly the reason I am not going myself. I have no desire to set myself up to fail financially, and simutaneously, lose what little I have achieved.
