Slug Bodies ... well, never mind.

Undergrad, Johns Hopkins University. Double major in political science and international relations. Picked up some Japanese along the way. MBA, Wharton, University of Pennsylvania (the Ivy League one, not the State school).

I am not sure what Tuna's background is, however since you brought your's in to play allow me to kick it around. Lets be completly honest, PS and IR are dam near one in the same and their both BS (as in bullsh**) degrees, no matter the university. Infact I would go as far to say that the vast majority of undergraduate programs in the US are a dam joke. With a few exceptions an undergrad from Havard and one from a cheap state school are little more than boxes that get checked off of a form from HR.

Wharton, great school. I would love to go there, however the vast majority of folks who go there are in thier 30's and thier employer covers 130K tuition. Then again with your statements above I really don't see how you could have come out of the program with such a limited view of buisness. FYI, i just finished up my master's in security and the security certificate program at Wharton leaves something to be desired. Additional FYI, if you were a real badass Wharton's school of Fianace is where the real men go.

That's why I worked my butt off to get into a good college instead of just going to some state school.

I wouldn't talk down to the state school. Keep in mind that price isn't always and indication of where the best education is to had. State schools with compatitive programs are hard to get into becase they have a strong program and are inexpensive. I went to a small state school for my undergrad. Thier environmental science program had approx. 5 graduates a year. We take all the same classes as the pre-vet, pre-med, and chem majors do. Tough program, but in this region the school has a great reputation. Then again, if I had a free ride I would take that over anything, within reason.

Guys guys guys. You're actually believeing that this moron went to Penn and Johns Hopkins. With the way he speaks, he sounds like an ignorant sheep herder. I don't believe for one second that he got into either of these schools. And if he did, someone in admissions slipped up. My god is his sense of the business world naive and pathetic. A degree is not just a slip of paper, you have to work for it most of the time. I look upon people who go through tough universities with a lot of respect.

That's why I worked my butt off to get into a good college instead of just going to some state school. I got full rides to Fordham and Holy Cross, two of the best Jesuit colleges in the country. I'll be going to the latter next fall. With the maturity that this neanderthal shows, I can't see him even getting into SUNY Brockport in NYS lol. Much less Johns Hopkins. If he could get into Johns Hopkins and Wharton at Penn, so could a 12yo pothead from a suburban public school. That's exactly how he's acting. So if he did infact go there... what a waste of the schools' times and his education. A degree means nothing if you don't take anything from it. And since you act like a prepubescant middle schooler, I doubt you possessed the maturity to really grasp any of the education being poured at you in college.

What really counts is character. You have none, and Tuna has plenty. You're just an immature loser and that's probably all you'll ever be. You'll probably waste your whole life wallowing in an abyss of utter mediocrity and juvenile behavior. You're the one who is the most likely to consider ending it all. In fact, I'd start doing some thinking if I were you right now. You've supposedly got these great degress from top notch schools and you still act like a child. Good god man, grow up. You can't ride the rest of your life on two peices of paper without the integrity to back it up. Start working on that budskie.

I agree that you have to work for the degree and that is respectable to get a good degree from a good school. But even if hard work and good character are the norm for earning a degree, there are still those who lack the character and motivation who can still achieve a degree. Those people learn nothing. And from the looks of Magglerock's behavior, he looks like one of those failures.

Right, when morons slip through the cracks it's a terrible shame. It seems like it happens quite frequently in this country what with our humanist outlook on education. Here are the negative effects though. Everyone see what happens when you decide to allow less than average human beings to get a repectable degree that someone else deserves. You get a self-righteous scumbag.


EDIT: Oh, and GT wtf dude lol. I actually do plan on majoring in History and minoring in Poli Sci. It isn't a BS degree. It's actually pretty applicable since I intend to go for my law degree afterwords. It's something that I really like and that I think would help me with my career. It's certainly not an underwater basket weaving degree.

And there is a difference when it comes to many state schools and community colleges. It's like public vs private school. You're usually going to find better structured education at the private school. Most of them (especially Jesuit which is why I picked it) teach students how to think using a broad range of different methods and points of view. American public schools tend to drill various facts into student's memories rather. There are some great state colleges though i do agree. SUNY Geneseo in NYS offers a fantastic education and is very difficult to get into.

BTW, I'm still mad at you for bashing my field of study
Heh heh, j/k.

You also run into the rich snobs with rich mommy's and daddy's that can do whatever they feel, go where ever they want, and do what ever they want.



This guy could be incredibly book smart like I said before. But just about any moron could hit the books for 4 hours everynight and get somewhere.

But school doesn't always produce smart people, take Albert Einstein, dropped out of school and went on to be one of the smartest people in the world, that's because Albert was incredibly intelligent.

[behemoth]

i'm pretty sure that was either Behemoth, Automaggot68, Beam, or target practice
/kind of general, eh?

I'll take my credit where it is due.

You're right. I go to a private, Jesuit highschool and I really feel that I get a lot out of it. Sure I see kids who don't deserve to be there. They just have loads of money. But I know that the education I'm gettign is way better and I ignore them. My family doesn't really have a lot of money, but I'm incredibly grateful that I've had this opportunity. Same with college. I worked really hard so that I could go somewhere with that same intellectual atmosphere. Yup, I did see a lot of rich kids at Holy Cross when I visited. But the difference is that they aren't snobs. Everyone there is really into working hard and exploring new areas of intellectual thought. Not that people who go to engineering or science colleges aren't smart, quite the contrary. I just like learning in a more philosophical and intellectual atmosphere that a Jesuit liberal arts college provides. It suits me better personally.

But when someone like this dickhead gets in, it pisses me off. If he can't understand simple business, I don't know how he had the aptitude to get through Wharton.

Yeah, some of them work really hard, but on occasion you run into the snobs.



I think this guy might be lying about Wharton, I mean seriously, ihe seems to think Bill Gates got intant rich, and thinks that Tunaman has no chance of developing either.


Everybody starts off as a small fish in a big ocean, it's the the ones that make the progress and grow that get somewhere. This guy obviously doesn't understand this concept, which makes me question his degree at Wharton.

[Tunaman]

and i am not even looking to get any bigger. I can't handle it as it is now. I am content with my real job and like i said...I do this for fun.

So you still giving those slugs away , I got bored with some free time at work today and whipped up some pretty neat designs.

[Rudz]

ohhh

Well he wont be able to show us those degrees. Oh wait. Look. He has a new avatar! Dissing the AGD site is not cool. A few thousand for a C+C? I'll take 2! The one I am looking at is around 500 thousand bucks...and I guess he also doesn't know that I do have a real job...and this paintball stuff is strickly for fun...so you guys can get stuff cheaper.
I am still trying to figure out what I ever did to this kid. I think he has me mistaken for someone else.

Its not your fault tuna..this kid just has issues..and cocaine is a helluva drug.......lol

Thats just it, your BS is a segway into law. It doesnt matter what you get your undergrad when you begin to look for proffesional education, such as law. Now if you were a science guy.....I am taking the LSAT next month, to be perfectly honest I am getting pretty dam tired of full time school and full time work. I am not sure if there will be an adiquit ROI on law school.

teach students how to think using a broad range of different methods and points of view.

Schools dont teach people to think or become marvels of the modern world. With exception to graduate programs. If you really want to be head shoulders above the rest pick a stellar graduate program. The difference bewteen an undergrad program and a graduate program at the same good school is night and day.


Like I said before, if someone is picking up the tab, who cares I had a full ride on my gradute program, very very rare, but its possible.

[warbeak2099]

I know that you can major in anything and go on to get your law degree. You just need a high GPA. However, I am really interested in politics and history, neither of which can you just sleep through all four years of college. It's BS if you barely pass and get your degree, but not if you put the effort into it.

And that's what I mean. I got that level of education in my high school. We were tought how to go through life applying different methods of thinking and different ideas. I think that's important for kids to know. Calculus class wasn't just about random formulas that I'll never use as a lawyer if that path goes according to plan. But I've learned how to think using critical mathematical analysis of facts. Same with my science courses. I hate science and math, but from both of those classes I've learned how to use the empirical method and I use it in my everyday life or while pondering really deep topics. You just don't seem to get that with a public school education. Most public school teachers don't have their graduate degrees in what they're teaching and they basically focus on getting their kids to pass the state tests. That's what's wrong with the American public school system among a host of other problems. It's a shame, because I know a lot of public schoolers who are bright kids and who could reach a much higher potentional than they are in their present education.

NY state is actually starting to pull funding from public schools and give the money to private institutions to hand out to students who deserve to go there, but can't afford it. Hey, they're starting to think logically. Kids coming out of private schools show higher aptitude in college. So that's where the money should be going.

Woah, back on topic now though. Rock on Tuna , go to hell maggerlock .

I agree whole heartedly on the private v. public HS debate. Most public HS' are little more than jails without locked doors.

[ZEROte]

why doesnt tuna take those slugs and make the tunaman/pbx body with them from a good machine shop.......... seeing as how i was number 1 in line for that body and am still waiting......

[Indignant]

...maggle did have a couple good points.
