Rand Paul is the worst man alive. I'd rather vote for love child of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. 

Are you kidding me? How could you not vote for a guy who doesn't believe in permanent war or government surveillance? At this point, Americans are stuck with three options: a racist, xenophobic dickhole, a clueless socialist, and a useless idiot. I'll let you figure out who's who.

If you don't like planet Earth like I do, let's book the first flight to Mars.

As much as love the idea of colonising Mars, sadly getting there is just the easy bit.

I haven't been around in a while and this is old news, but I want to say out loud that I really think it sucks that Rand Paul dropped out of the Presidential race. He was the only guy with his head screwed on straight. If I was American, I'd have voted for him. With him gone though, I'd side with Sanders just because all the other options are terrible.

I like Paul. There was talk a while back about a Paul/Cruz ticket. Paul has been too far ahead of the curve on every major issue and he's been truthful enough to be considered credible. A lot of people don't realize his "economic freedom zones" would do more for poor black communities than expanding social programs.
   As for Sanders, one of the connections he's failed to make is that it's not a lack of education that's causing poverty but the demand for it. The single biggest problem causing and perpetuating poverty is a demand for education that's irrelevant to the work being performed.
  My experience from sitting at  both sides of the employment table is that two things need to be the top priority: the demand for education needs to be dialed way back through leadership and there needs to be a glut of jobs. I don't recall a time, ever, from my own experience and from reading about the matter, where life wasn't better when employers had to compete for employees than when people had to compete for employment. There's plenty of talk about how someone can better compete in the job market, but in the end, it's nothing more than sales pitches to maintain the status quo. I really don't think Sanders has the understanding of how things really work.

Paul was too educated for his own good. Libertarian positions such as his, while more common in the U.S. than in Canada, are still too foreign for the masses to grasp. People are too hung up on silly issues like "war on terror" or misguided attempts at "gun control".

Sanders' grasp of economics is as good as a witch doctor's grasp of medicine. He keeps thinking that all that needs to be done is redistribute wealth and tax the rich at higher rates. Sorry Bernie but you're drive the people who keep your economy afloat out of the country with policies like that. As for the education being irrelevant, well, what do you expect when you raise a generation of kids to be entitled brats who end up studying wasteful fields like gender studies or liberal arts? They aren't transferable skills.

DoomRulz with the f**king mic drop, good read. It is a shame about Paul, he was one of the few presidential candidates I would have a beer with.

The saddest thing is somebody with 2 years of exploration in the realm of misogyny and racist institutions is preferred over somebody with 6 years actual work experience. There would be a lot less poverty if people could get jobs pushing carts and stocking shelves without needing HSD/GED with 2+yrs preferred. Also, there would be less poverty if big employers didn't use meaningless education as a means for pay discrimination.

Ever see those "free tuition" signs at Sander's rally's? That would be more poverty because of the demand that would come with that much more education.

We need to get back to pragmatic basics. Pay should be directly connected to performance and productivity. I had my first on the payroll job at 14. I worked under the table before that. Sadly, the very notions of having an income and living within the means of one's income is lost to the sentiments feeding the drive that's nothing more than greed and entitlement. I don't think that the solution is more of the cause for people not understanding that increasing the value of a currency is preferred to increasing the amount of currency.


Maybe Paul will get a cabinet position. DoA or DoE. Maybe I will be a Polygamist Viking.

They aren't transferable skills.

Actually neither of those fields are wasteful if you actually learn something. More so a liberal arts degree specializes in general all around knowledge and is a common approach to more specific areas of study. More so most things you learn in any degree aren't relevant to your employers interest aside from the field. They usually have to still send recruits to training any ways. Another example, take being a lawyer for instance. Most start off by attaining a BA in language arts or history before applying for law school. Many think those two fields of study are wasteful and useless as well. Yet even after law school the one thing it doesn't teach you is how to be an actual lawyer. Still gotta learn that on the job. Also gender studies is a big deal to any corporation that has to god forbid hire people or interact with said human beings. It is a specialized field that's heavy into communications. Which is more important than most of you think it is.

Where college fails is the mandates that it somehow replaces experience and common core knowledge. Think business majors who have a degree but no experience and didn't really learn anything. Putting that person in charge by-passing an employee with a few years of experience because of a piece of paper is asinine. Yet that happens everyday and companies lose billions every year.

College only means something if you learn and remember the knowledge. The fact of the matter is that most don't learn and only have a mountain of debt to show for it. For this reason many state governments enact laws to force the hiring of these graduates for nothing more than their own kids were sold the same poison and they'd have to pay for it otherwise.

If you haven't studied the genders in your adolescence enough to be comfortable with not only talking about them but also seeing them in the nude, why would I hire you? You're obviously slow on the uptake...


...I had to drop a gender studies joke.

If I'm running a law firm, especially a big one, I want to hire someone who studied in the field and knows how the law works, knows about statutes, major cases, and so on; not someone who is going to sit and lecture me about the lack of female lawyers in my firm. My brother went to law school and he studied political science as well as various law-related fields. When I started my first year of university, I studied Criminal Justice and earned my BA in that program. It was a perfect degree to apply to law school. Alas, I didn't go simply because it didn't interest me enough.

Because that's up to the student. If they want experience, they better seek it out themselves. The college can only do so much. At some point the student has to take responsibility for his future.

I was wondering where all the frustration was coming from but it's not your fault and it's alright to be angry. I started in Electronic Engineering before realizing how boring it was. I'm just glad that most of it was paid off by grants and all I owed was 8 grand. Then later my company and the government paid for my schooling.

However the bit about being a lawyer is that, yes, you go to law school to law about the law but it in no way trains you to be a lawyer. However does what you learn in Law School or Political science or Criminal Justice or History or Chick Studies not applicable to other fields of daily life and career? You better believe that it is.

Oh and all I mean to say is that it's OK to blame the f**king college; if I'm not mistaken you paid good money to go to college and put in the time and effort right? I also bet that they worked you over with nice marketing and whatever else to keep you there. At least graduate, right? I experienced the same shit too but I'm glad I didn't get the shit bill like so many other people do.
