Now, i can't hate on anyone who is attending college. Its tough, n it takes alot of work. So....congrats on your 3.94.

I'm sure if i had actually gaven a shit, i could have attained something better than the 3.2 i had.

I was majoring in Philosophy/History...

As far as the comment, that i had posted about the goverement agency. How trustworthy is our goverment. We all know, and can easily look back and see the lies that the goverment has fed us before to keep our spirts, either A. Postive or B. Negative. All goverment really is, is a pyschology enforcement of human will. The simply use pyschological tactics to trick people into believin in the goverment.

Don't belviie me? That our goverment is hypocritcal? N just a huge ball of bullshit?

All Men Should Be Created Equal? No? Yes?

yes, of course. Thats why our four fathers defended that statement.

So why the fuck woudl they still have slaves? George Washington, had huge amounts of slaves.

Our goverment is simply a group of people, who we 'freely' elect, and look out for their interest's first. Than the interest's of the people that elected them. Its common human nature to look out for oneself before someone else.

I'm not complaining about our govermerment, because i couldnt' have accomplsihed the things i have. Or have the things i have with out. So to sit and bash it, would be hypocritcal.

I'm just not foolish enough to belivie that the goverment is looking out for the best interest of its people @ all times.

But, hey ....what the fuck do i know.

Maybe i could check out www.IRS.com n figure a few things out.


I believe that college has allowed me to get to a level of understanding and knowledge of the economy (among other things, but they aren't near as relavent to this thread as the economy is), and so yes, I believe that by me going and listening and studying and learning, that it makes me more knowledgeable about the economy then most people. I'm not talking about intelligence, as I'm not sure of a way that intelligence can be measured or compared. I'm talking about knowledge and learning. Your cop out of, "Oh I could have done better if I wanted to" is jack shit to me. Earlier in this thread you stated, "Who HASN'T cheated in college?," which implies that YOU have. Regardless of whether you cheated your way through or not, even though I'm pretty sure you did, ANYBODY can say they could have done better at ANYTHING. I could be saying, "Yeah, if I had given a shit in high school I could have won a bunch of scholarships and gone to Harvard and then I'd be really set!," but I'm not saying that because nobody ever gives a shit what you think you could have done.

I'm not going to be successful because I went to college. I'm going to be successful because I learned things and attained knowledge that I wouldn't have if I had opted to not go to college.

Man, you're either naive or stupid if you think the information provided by the BEA or the IRS is wrong. I seriously can't believe you dudes who are like, "Oh, anybody can just go in there and change something and nobody would notice, despite the holes in the data that would create!" I have NEVER seen somebody say information provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis is inaccurate or biased. Only on rapverse, which doesn't say much.

And what's your point about slaves? I know some of the older presidents had slaves. I think Andrew Jackson was one of the, if not the worst, president in the history of the United States. He owned slaves, supported slavery and pushed Native Americans from east of the Mississippi River to Oklahoma. You telling me presidents are people and have fucked up before is not news to me.
