If EVERYONE had a PhD - would EVERYONE get a high paid PhD job ? Are there enough of those jobs for EVERYONE ?
Or would you have PhD's competing to work at McDonald's ?

"I don't hate anonymous people I have never met and will never meet by category - like you do. I just hate the individuals who have been hateful to me. Like you have.
So, who taught you to dish hate as if it was breathing ? Go way, waaay back - early childhood. Before about the age of 6. Why did you need to hate ? What did it get you ?"
How much more anonymous can you get than on the internet? But I digress...
"Dish hate as if it were breathing"? Like you don't hate the men who denied you a job, b/c you think you deserved it? Or the corporations who wouldn't hire you because you didn't fit in?
I don't hate. I'm angry, yes. Rage-filled, truly. But I don't hate.
In fact, I realize how things are, and wish to make them better. Im not bitter.
But you are.
You are bitter towards those you think have wronged you. And honestly, you might have a point.
You are intelligent, I will give you that. But your bitterness has hobbled you. Made you ignore the things you see in front of you that conflict with your anger.
So you have aligned yourself with those you think will best serve the anger you feel. Again, I get it.
But in doing so, you only further fuel and grow your bitterness.

OPPHY- Can you honestly say there is a survival-paying job available for everyone who wants to work? Obviously not. Unemployment, underemployment, and poverty-wages are an integral part of capitalism. For every 100 people, there are only 50 jobs. And of those, only three will pay reasonably well.
You SHOULD ask yourself the question: When so many people need food, shelter, medical care, education, (renewable) energy, and safety... when the world needs to be replanted, barrier islands rebuilt, soil replenished, and wetlands restored.... why is there unemployment???? When you've answered that question to your satisfaction, come back and we'll discuss whether or not there is ALWAYS a place in the economy for everyone... and, why not.
ETA: I don't give a rat's *ss about "equal opportunity". Opportunity to do what? To grab first what the next fellow needs equally badly? 
that shit.

Quote:
I completely agree.
A lot of blacks are in trouble today, not because they're black but because they've grown up in a ghetto culture.
The best way to figure out "who's at fault" for ghetto culture is to try and change it. Change allows one to see which forces are at work and their relative magnitudes, which phenomena are primary and which are dependent. I'm not, however, of the persuasion that this is all fixable by individual effort if the people involved.Quote:
I agree, but I think she's got it in "not of the persuasion that this is fixable by individual effort of the people involved." I don't think they can do it on their own.
There are better ways to deal with this: you can pull together, share resources, treat each other well. And there are worse ways: you can have a vicious knife-fight where almost everyone gets hurt but a few get really, really (comparatively) well-off.Quote:
speaks to that. As does
There is no place for them because in our economic system - NOT EVERYONE CAN MAKE ITQuote:
In fact, they no more deserve their place in the world than a baby in Africa deserves to die of starvation. It is a systematic problem, not an individual one. Quote:
I agree. And
And keep this in mind: this system does not depend on individual luck and pluck. It depends on large numbers of people having to work jobs for their entire lives that don't pay them the value of their work. And that is a situation from which they (that is, nearly all of us who aren't independently wealthy) will never escape.Quote:
You really BELIEVE this?? I find that amazing, in this day and age. It can only be ignorance which claims that everyone has a fair opportunity in America today, especially in the ghetto. You truly believe "opportunity" is equally available to all, and that's all it takes? Wow.
Everyone has a fair opportunity for an education, and career. There is no denial just those who choose to succeed, or to fail.
Wulf, I can accept that you're angry but don't hate. But I would propose that a lot of what you say applies to you, as well.

"Wulf, I can accept that you're angry but don't hate. But I would propose that a lot of what you say applies to you, as well."
Yes, and?
My anger doesn't cloud my judgment as so many here, and as so many here have claimed against me.
Rather it fuels me, drives me, forces me to work for change. REAL change.
The kind that sets men free, that doesn't tie them back down to tyranny and slavery.

"Like you don't hate the men who denied you a job, b/c you think you deserved it? Or the corporations who wouldn't hire you because you didn't fit in?"
Actually - I don't. Find my anything that indicates I hate them. Anywhere. I dare you.
"Im not bitter. But you are."
You only want to think so. So, point out to me where I am bitter. Where have I BLAMED anyone for my life - as you have ? I have merely pointed out the FACTS using my life and experience as an example - bias exists. Do you have a problem with the truth ?
"So you have aligned yourself with those you think will best serve the anger you feel."
And you have no answer to my objective question - would every PhD have a good PhD job ? Or are good jobs limited to a few, while the many will never get out ?
As for who I've 'aligned' myself with, I would say it is the culture of Caral. But that is an idea far beyond you. Besides which, you would have to READ my posts instead of just ASSuming you know what I mean. And I suspect that is beyond you as well.

I have't the foggiest notion what you think your so-called "real" change would look like (as opposed to unreal change?). Or "freedom", for that matter. You get all worked up over fine-sounding words... sound-tracks ... snippets of movies... but do you have any inkling of what you MEAN when you say freedom, change or whatever? 'Cause the only image I get is one of Wulf with a gun, getting revenge on society, shooting it into a shape that is comfortable for him.

Rue, I honored you by giving you the respect that you may be intelligent.
And THIS, THIS, is you answer?
You wish to insult me, with your simpering talk of what is "beyond me"?
Maybe I have learned a lesson here today. To never give honor to those who will use it against you.
To never throw "pearls among swine".

Wulf - you posted a lot of mean and untrue things about me - things which you wouldn't have posted if you had just READ MY POSTS. Things which you could find no specific example for. Bitter ? Hate-filled ? Aligned with - I dunno - 'them' - in order to increase my rage ? Or whatever. Don't you remember ? And I'm supposed to be grateful to you ?
Are you that ... you fill in the blank, m'kay ?

Anyway... Wulf, WTF do you mean by "real" change? What do you mean by "freedom"? For all that you talk of it, you sound more like the kinda guy who want to impose HIS freedom on everyone else at the point of a gun.
Quote:Oh, but Rue, that's different. Bc what Wulf said was driven by passion, by a rage for FREEDOM. Which makes ANTHING excusible. Just be thankful he didn't decide to vote you off the island with a 0.308 too.
Wulf - you said a lot of mean and untrue things about me. Don't you remember ?
