    Why did you lie about being on the left's side? Why do you feel the need to lie to protect your belief?


    Here I will answer it for you since you will likely lie again to protect your belief. You lied because you used faith over logic to believe what you wanted to believe. If you used logic, you wouldn't have gotten caught up in your lie.

        And no...Matt has degrees in engineering (through the army) and in commercial art (Art Institute of Dallas), but not specifically architecture.  He builds multi-million dollar houses (well, for CLIENTS, hence my comment on your hub), wink.  We well know the ups and downs of to degree/not to degree in many arenas.  Did I mention I worked as a graphic designer for years with no specific degree in it?

              I just thought it would be a fun question to ask. So, if someone doesn't go to college or have a degree, does it mean they aren't accomplished or that they have no motivation to learn?

                I cannot say so.  My sister became a web designer studying it on her own...picking stuff up at a newspaper where she worked.

                However, for others, it can indeed mean they lack motivation or accomplishment, yes.

                You are reading a lot of crap into my responses...I think looking for cracks in everything I say, wink, just as you did with the MA in public admin...only being a bit politer.   And perhaps, even though you are now married, you have had issues with this in the past, or maybe even within your marriage currently. (Just thoughts, given the semantics.)

                You know, I seem to remember a little more honest marine on Hubpages a few months ago, before all the trolls and the atheism stuff....  Anyway, I need to accomplish something other than forum writing today, wink.

                  lol, You got pretty deep right there. I kinda liked it. Eh, honestly it has came up in conversations before, not with my wife. With your sister as an example, is it not possible she knows more than some with a degree when she is individually educated? I am still the nice honest person I was then, just not so reserved.

                    Leta Sposted 14 years agoin reply to this

                    Ok, I'll answer this, then I've gotta go.

                    Of COURSE she knows more than some 22 year old that just got out of college with a degree (generally speaking--not across the board).  She's been doing this for years.

                    I also know she has worked at the same paper for years and is scared to ever try and get another job, even though for a lot of reasons, it would be good if she did.  And it is true, a lot of places wouldn't hire her w/o some kind of degree.  She also has told me she's felt like a failure ever since she dropped out of college.... sigh.  And other personal things I won't go into...  She is also extremely defensive of the whole situation, I think because at her age it would scare her to try and get a degree, for one...and frankly, I don't think she wants to go through all the work it would take to get a degree.

                    But none of this is actually valid concerning anything discussed here...  Nobody was making an assertion that education (which is just another form of experience) is more important than experience, necessarily.  It's just the obvious trolls who have issues with education (it is painfully obvious) and go about blasting people they feel inferior to as part of a 'quote, quote,' political identity.

    Our president is a true idealogue. At first I thought he would have a harmless if not meaningless administration. It is painfully obvious that he came to office with a rock solid agenda. His determination to push things through will only be stopped by us the people. The republicans do not have the fortitude nor the votes to stop him. So for the first time in a while the mantle resides in the hands of we the people. Lets hope that we are able to use our power better than the politicians have with theirs

                  Come again? Nuclear disarmament is a diplomatic negotiation process, which has nothing to do with disarming another nation by force. This process had been pretty much stuck on the dormant switch, and he seems to have started it up again (I say "seems", because I do not know what that means in practice). The states that have nuclear stockpiles you can't simply attack; who would attack Russia? China?

                  As for Iran, I don't know why nobody ever says this, but even if Iran was able to develop a missile program (maybe it can, what do I know -- of course neither of us knows the truth, let's face it), the only target it might consider is Isreal -- yet Israel has shown time and time again it does not mind using force to repel attack: and Israel has nuclear weapons by the bushel... so it would be a seriously idiotic move to attack Israel -- haven't you noticed that the last time anyone tried was 1973????? Why do you think that is? Kindness??

            I don't know about any other member or about any "stalking" you may be thinking about. The only stalking I've seen here came from someone who tried to play Jr. Detective and got all confused about where they thought I lived and how old I was and all sorts of amusing things. Creepy, but no real harm done.

          First of all who really cares about spelling errors. Apparently you were still able to comprehend what was written, so who cares if there are typos or not. As far as Lita is concerned , she is picking on The intelligence of others, just because they( speaking third person here) don't agree with what is being said or even factual occurences. How can people in general disagree with the fact that certain mistakes have been made yet those mistakes go unoticed, defended or even blamed on someone or something else? When someone says they are going to do something, they should do it , whatever happend to my word is my bond or a handshake for contractual agreement. Everyone is just worried if they are perceived as wrong or right, not what can we do to change any given situation. What can we do to better ourselves . Good Conscience has gone out the window. Sorry if i mispelled a couple words or missed a comma.

            Excuse me?  "Picking on the intelligence of others?"  Ma'am, I'm sorry, but I can strongly disagree with...and still respect...those with well-stated, intelligent opinions.

            I frankly see very little of that in your posts.  Not to mention, you are suggesting anyone who disagrees with you about political matters is dishonest.  I find that attitude disingenuous, and frankly, dangerous in it's stupidity. Not to mention, your arguments are circular, don't make a lot of sense grammatically and seem to comprise mainly of vitriol.  I'm terribly sorry, but I don't respect such an outlook or voice.

            Good luck with that 'petition.'

      What is wrong with free health care for the poor? The rich and those who can afford health care are too bloody selfish to pay for it.
      Our free health care works, and has for decades, so has England's despite the lies you may have swallowed judging the whole system off one or two very miss-represented cases that although debunked have remained with those who have to believe them for fear of being wrong.
      Australians and the British have a kinder outlook, and our old are not at risk.

            But still it isn't as bad as it was when I was growing up here in the Bible Belt.  The oldest racists have died off since then and each generation gets a little more compassion than their parents.  Also, the reverends do not hold complete sway over their congregations as much either.  There are even some who can make a political or religious decision on their own.  It's looking up.

          It's true that our health care in Canada, Australia, and Europe is not free, because it comes through taxes, and that you have Medicaid. However, it does seem worrisome to me that health insurance companies in your country have so much power over so many ordinary citizens. Corporations screwed up your financial system thanks to lack of governmental oversight -- isn't there an analogy, to be drawn, perhaps? (Come on, agree with me -- just once, I dare you smile )

              I think we are moving from corporate control into government control since Obama has taken office. I don't think the outlook is good for a country that is used to freedoms starting to be controlled by the government. I think there is a very fine line with balance and control. I think firing CEO's and company takeovers is obviously control. I do think there needs to be some regulations, it's just hard to say where without limiting peoples freedom to make their own way.


              If you start controlling and limiting how much money someone can make, it countradicts us being a free country / free market. I think we got to be one of the wealthiest and most powerful through the free market / limited regulation, I also think it's our own destruction. lol

I think you are the one with the flawed ideaology in your left backing assumptions. I don't have any emotional ties to Sarah palin although she does have nice legs. How many emotional ties do you have to the left right war with no knowledge of why you are fighting in it?
