Very compelling evidence that the voting age should be raised to 35.

Nothing wrong with liberal arts. We need it. My son was a history major. It taught him how to research and write which many lack. He's young and makes 3 figures because no one in his organization has these skills.

Trump is a helluva lot more salient than Hitler or Stalin simply in that he's current, he's (ostensibly) American, and he's "our" president, g0d help us all.

He makes 3 figures? What, 900 bucks a year, the rest is covered by welfare or something? And he had to go to college to learn this when people figured this out by the time they are half way in elementary school in the rest of the world, and hell, 80's USA?

He makes over $100,000. His knowledge, writing and research skills got him into a masters program in England. His dissertation on the Middle East won him top honors. And this was all because he had a liberal arts degree.

So then it's really 6 figures, not 3.

I make 300 grand a year as an engineer for satellite systems in a tech company, and about 5 million in real estate and investments in a cigar shop, a couple of bars and an auto repair shop, and have only an associates degree in electronics. Heck, Mark Zuckerberg is a college drop out and he's worth billions, so college isn't the answer for everything. Sadly, I have been at my job for 20 years now, and tech school didn't teach much, most I learned on the job. Different strokes for different folks, Regardless, I'm glad your son made something of himself.

Those numbers are very low.

The number of humans killed by Communists is staggering. Hitler was a rank amateur.

Lol. Sorry I meant 6. I’m glad you’re doing well. And college isn’t for everyone. Some learn on the job, nothing wrong with that. I just don’t like anyone putting down a liberals art degree.

this is an example of utter and complete madness. similar to what you would witness amongst the patients in an asylum drooling, and ranting and eating insects.

But who cares about the vast majority when we can use the extreme outliers to demonize the opposition.
Been on a college campus lately? I have, setting up the details of sponsoring a couple of scholarships. Students generally despise Trump. Made me want to offer additional scholarships....
