UKIP are like Canada's Labor - post-Harper. Nazi.

You clearly have never had to deal with the Hell that is PayPal. He's still deep in the Karma hole for that one.

To be fair Musk left PayPal in about 2002, when they were acquired by eBay. The bullshittery started circa 2004.

Marx cannot be flawed for his intentions - I think. Which were charitable.

I'm saying that primitive ideological Manifesto were the order of the day. The mis-application of poorly understood science, history and theology in the formulation of "principles" for evaluation of society and governments flourished in Europe and America.

Marx has no more blood on his hands than Malthus. Considerably LESS blood than Cecil Rhodes... Or the Rockefeller family.

My musical mentor is from St Louis. He and I can't do much but look at the floor and shake our heads. "Cos we all heard the words before. They aren't less painful for that - and they haven't changed since we were children.

But it's everywhere. The refined ones - who never say these things, even in their private, inner voice - vote "for a black man", while blocking residential housing units on the other side of town. We know what you're about. You see, when you vote "for a black man" - with a certain framing - you're a racist. But people don't look to hard at themselves.

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."

"Survival of the fittest is a scientific fact and explains the natural order of our society and those who are fit to lead."

"It is his Christian birthright, for the White Man to take his divinely graced position of custody over the the irresponsible and otherwise ungovernable races, as a burden of charity and ennoblement."

"The nation state is the ultimate expression of the popular will of the people, and represents the final aspiration of their culture and identity."

You want bullshit propositions on which modern economics and politics are found their own dubious assertions? Look no further than the bullshit promoted in the 19th century - from quasi-scientific, pseudo-Darwinism, to pseudo-religious, racist subjugation and nascent ethno-Fascism.

Sorry. It's just become so damned boring 'round here.

What's "flirty" doing with her weekend?

You sign into AD with either a username, or SMTP addess. They unified namespace this way. 14 years ago...

Yes, equally farmed for their labour.

Flawed in so many ways - perpetrated by AD, linking Exchange. More MS bullshit that spilled over into the Dot Coma world.

Literature and history are great things to study if you want to teach literature or history. And to an extent, they prove that you were smart enough and serious enough about learning to go to college, which might make a difference in getting certain jobs. But otherwise, yeah, they're equivalent to underwater basket weaving. College may not be a trade school, per se, but most people treat it like one. If you don't come out of college with a marketable skill that can net you a job that you otherwise couldn't get, then you spent tens of thousands of dollars solely for the love of learning. A few people might be rich enough to afford that, but not many.

Either way, my core point is that having a college degree doesn't make you a professional. Working in a field that requires a college degree or other formal education makes you a professional. As such, people working in low-end service jobs don't qualify, whether they are doing so by choice, because of the lack of better jobs, or because they lack any marketable skills.
