Exit polls in Ohio show that the less education you have
the more likely you are to vote for Hillary. The more you have, the more likely you are to vote for Obama. Hmmmm....[.quote]

125. I missed that whole part of the OP where it said people with degrees were better.
Where does that idea come from if not from the OP?

106. What about older, blue collar women who go back to school and get degrees?
These categories are not a measure of WISDOM.
They only reflect a QUANTITY.

110. What about the school of "hard knocks", I know several people who have college degrees but are totally oblivious about what happens in the real world like "How much does it cost to make a meal for a family of four, how much to you have to save out of your paycheck to be able to put gas in your car and still make the house payment, you know the easy stuff!

112. Yeah. The easy stuff that got me through grad school as a poor single mom of two. How many cookies can I put in each lunch and still get through the week with something to put in the bags?
You mean, like that?

121. That's not the point. We learn to our ability. And having a degree doesn't mean you've never done laundry in the bathtub or otherwise lack life skills.

123. I didn't say it did, but it also doesn't mean you are smarter and better at judging people either.Book smarts are one thing, common sense, unfortunately is just not all that common.

127. Then you need to reread that post. Because it doesn't say that.

133. I think I know what you are saying, but I'm saying (and I'm not knocking you here) is that a degree does not make one a better judge of character. I guess what I mean to say is just because a person doesn't have a degree and votes for Hillary doesn't mean they are not intelligent, just as having a degree and voting for Obama does not mean a person is more intelligent. That is being presumptuous to say the least,and again I congratulate you on your success!

137. And, lol, all I've been saying is the OP just repeated what the media has been saying about a number of people with degrees, not about a number of somehow "better" people -- whatever that would be.
lol
A degree can't make you smart or good or right. Although, it can make you more stupid. lol

136. C'mon sfexpat. What did you make of the "Hmmm......" statement?
What do you think the purpose of this OP was?
Just to re-iterate a well known statistic or to insinuate that educated (smart) people vote for one candidate and uneducated (stupid) people vote for the other?

145. "Hmmm" generally is read as "thinking. . . " was on early PCs.
Do you remember that? It used to appear instead of "loading" at the bottom of the screen.
I can see how this information could be used by someone to do what you suggest. panaderO didn't do that here.
And, what do those numbers mean, anyway?
Eta: I guess, tonight we'd get into a snit if redheads voted for Hillary but Radio Flyer owners voted for Obama. And, btw, degrees don't really translate into a higher income any more so the whole class thing doesn't work either. These are just numbers. Cats vote for Hillary. Parrots vote for Obama. On Tuesdays. Between noon and five!

113. Statistically, that's a small portion of degree holders.
Come on, this is just classist bullshit. Your level of formal education has little to do with your knowledge about the issues that effect you.
Case in point: an entire century labor activism.

119. Look at this thread and tell me where the classicist bullshit lies.
Not in the OP who was reporting, not opining.
I haven't opined, either, for that matter.
Have you read this thread? Apparently all people who go to college are elitist assholes who vote for Obama.
And it's amazing that people can't distinguish between reporting and opining and that they are so quick to attack.
Do you know what the OP thinks of this report? Have you asked? No. You're attacking me as if I've taken a position.
Really. That's just unnecessary.

The beauty of that thread is that in all their twisting and justifications they have shot down the reasoning for a couple of current social programs and a few of the wished ones to boot. :lmao:

20. nice to see such discrimination of poor people
who generally don't go to college, because they can't afford it. So they join the military and serve the nation. HRC wants to bring them home BHO wants them in Pakistan.
The writing is on the wall.
Uh oh...low post count+allusion to Obama's middle name? Must be a RACIST MOLE!!!!!!!!!!

Typical of DUmmies, putting people in groups and categories and trying to make themselves smarter than others :whatever:
Silly DUmmies, smarts are for conservatives :rotf:

It's a moot point.
You'd have to be a ****ing idiot to vote for either one of them.

So Doug's ex-wife has two kids? Or was she just giving a "for instance"? Please tell me she doesn't have offspring....

She was, allegedly--please notice the all-important word here, "allegedly"--married before she married Doug.
At least one of the two, allegedly--please notice the all-important word here, "allegedly"--has done some hard time for drugs.
Both according to the own words posted by Doug's ex-wife at various times.
But given the way primitives lie so much--Ms. Ed the unappellated eohippus and the burdened primitive being the prime examples--one has to resort to using the word "allegedly" in almost all things alleged by the primitives.
As incredible as it may seem, the lying titty primitive is Honest Abe compared with some primitives.
