Reasons to never take Kinder seriously

Exhibit A:
Yep, just 20 years ago people were running around in nothing but a loin cloth and throwing rocks at animals to see what would be a better tool for hunting. Seriously, would it be any harm for you to think for once? If anybody would fit perfectly with cavemen it would be you
You sound pathetically upset

I would love it so damn much if we can go back a couple of decades where anybody could be middle-class, have a simple high school diploma, and be a manager at a department store or wherever
People back then also weren't nearly as educated. But sure, go ahead and travel back in time. I'm sure you'd fit in perfectly.

What exactly is wrong with having more educated people anyway?
Part of the devaluation process isn't just people having more of a certain qualification, but it's the strain placed on educational infrastructure--it essentially turns it into a continuation of mass-schooling.

What really needs to be done is an improvement of primary and secondary education.
I agree with that last part but I still see nothing wrong with more people having a higher level of education.
Scarcity matters.

If more people have a masters degree, it becomes worth less. That's true in any sort of situation in which the supply of something goes up. We need to have higher levels of education as we get more and more information--of course--but we ought to do it in a way of occasionally restructuring all levels of education. Just pushing more and more people into university delays dealing with the problem and allows it to saturate and get worse and worse.
A free two years at community isn't giving more people masters degrees. All it does is give more people a shot at an AA and a potential jump start towards a bachelors or even as you say, a masters.

So your point seems kind of moot.
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm

The labor participation among people with an AA is around the 64% mark. That means 36% of grads can't find a job right now. Put more people into the mix and that number will increase to the point people having to shell out over $25,000 in order to get 2-4 more years of college experience, vs. having to pay less than $10,000 for a community college
Or y'know.... make more jobs, rather than outsourcing shit overseas and blaming it on there being too many people with an education.
We would all love to see jobs brought back to America, but many of them that are outsource require no degree in the first place so it's redundant to have a degree in order to take phone calls at a office. On top of that, what do incentives do we even give companies in the first place? Because raising taxes to pay for this idea isn't helping one single bit

FYI to get a good job anywhere you already need a degree of some sort. It's not going to devalue the diploma any more than it already is. Plus that implies that everyone passes and gets it.

What exactly is wrong with having more educated people anyway?
Yeah, you need a degree now because people keep pushing the idea that somehow to be successful, you need a piece of paper saying you were able to stay awake for a certain amount of hours. I would love it so damn much if we can go back a couple of decades where anybody could be middle-class, have a simple high school diploma, and be a manager at a department store or wherever

There's a difference between education and flooding the market

In all reality is there any chance at all this will get passed?
Absolutely not. Republicans would never let something beneficial like this pass either the House or Senate.

We can't even get them in on a jobs bill for veterans they created.
Exactly how is degrading and watering down degrees beneficial? We already have a situation where current graduates have a hard time seeking a job, so the obvious decision is to add more fuel to this out of control fire. Now people will have to spend another 2-4 years getting a higher degree just to have a chance, which will cost well over $25,000 and creating even more debt issues.

Oh, and last I checked Democrats are refusing to sign the Keystone pipeline into effect which will create jobs and they passed ObamaCare which makes it more difficult for employers to hire

We now live in a society where watching tv and playing games is more prevalent than partaking in an outdoor activity. Banning such a historic winter activity is as absurd as removing all teeter totters or climbers from all parks since a child may fall. While we're at it we should remove all swings since kids could pinch their fingers in the swings and/or fall off. This new trend is disgusting. I am in no way stating that there will never be an accident; however, generations before us have successfully survived while participating in activities that had much lower safety standards. Its time for us as individuals, parents and as a community on the whole to realize what we are about to lose. Let's face it, if tobogganing is too dangerous - what's next skating or better yet maybe hockey?

« on: January 09, 2015, 04:37:41 PM »
This is where I suggest you out of the blue convert to Islam and in the middle of this class, you pull out a bathroom rug, play some Islam shouting, and pray to Mecca
I'm usually not one to agree with Kinder, but doing the above would just be priceless. I'm not familiar with the customs of Islam, but is it possible to say you're "trying it out"?

Or, if your school doesn't have a completely nuts dress code, you could get on of those shirts with a drawing of Muhammad on it and wear that (though that might piss your instructor off).
Or he can dress like this and say that he had it all wrong and embraces Islam

New Black Panther Party, that is, as the concern with groups like neo-nazis and the KKK? It seems from reading this article all they care about is doing exactly what white supremacist groups want to do. And while I support more blacks learning about guns and becoming gun owners, doing so for the purpose of to promote unrest and incite violence against law enforcement is nothing I will EVER accept.

I highly doubt they will become a viable threat and won't get any bigger than the KKK, but the possibility of both groups facing off is kinda real

Murder out weighs rape.
Not in every instance. Not at all.

None of us can even begin to imagine the constant psychological trauma she must've endured.
I'm sure some of us can. And I'm not dismissing what happened to her, she deserves treatment for that, but she shouldn't be let off the hook for pulling the trigger. And no I'm not saying she should get a full 20 years a high security prison nor am I "victim blaming".
This isn't some first time thing. It has been going on constantly and greatly condoned by the parents because lack of discipline to the older brother. Hell, child services came to the house before and nothing was done. If you or anybody else was in a situation of being held in captivity and being treated like shit, you would do the same exact thing. This girl had no other options and has put up with it for multiple years. Saying she should be punished IS victim blaming

1) Don't tell me what I would/wouldn't do

2) That's not victim blaming, she should face some form of punishment for pulling the trigger and taking a life. If I was victim blaming then I'd be saying she should be punished just for being abused, which of course I'm not. See the difference?
1. I will because any human going through torture and rape will want to get out of the situation, no matter the cost

2. Saying she deserves punishment for defending herself is victim blaming. The only other option she had was to let the abuse to continue. That's what you're saying, that she should have continued to be abused instead of protecting herself. Who fucking cares if she pulled the trigger? She was going through literal Hell and was the ONLY option for her to escape. She deserves NO punishment but a pat on the back for getting rid of a desolate abusive scum that would most likely target her younger sisters as they got older

She shouldn't be charged at all. Doing so will teach victims of abuse and rape that trying to get out a situation will result you being the bad one who ends up in prison, not the perpetrator

Well at least the hostages are safe.
