As for not answering simple questions:  There is no doubt the question is simple; it's moronic.  I am not even going to try to get into someone's addled brain if they can't be bothered to layout what they mean.  I have no doubt your fixation on South Chicago is due to Fox News.  You people ape everything that your pet right wing media sources tell you. 

You can't answer it because you know Chicago has been in a democrat stranglehold for decades and it is another failed blue shithole of misery and death, just like the glittering jewel of democrat failure that is Detroit.

Now don't you have some more  bombs to set off? 

Truly a shame you're so overcome with hate.  You are a living example as to why there are some things cup size cannot overcome.  Big tits can't offset a personality akin to a bent shitcan.

A college degree today begins to make up for the appalling k-12 education. It's a baseline of qualification you need to get a job even at some McDonald's these days.  Without it, your chances of earning a decent living are much less.  
I have a PhD, which is an additional 10 years of education, proficiency in two foreign languages, major and minor comprehensive examinations, dissertation field work and a doctoral dissertation more than a BA.

The reasons college grads are working at McDonald is that they can not find jobs in their chosen field because of the bad economy. Your hero and master has provided the country with a horrible economic outlook. Higher taxes, Obamacare, regulations, etc have stiffled new business starts and expansion.

 I seriously doubt that your degrees are in economics. Many of his adviser's have fled the ship in the last 4years like drowning rats. Got news for you. I could train an 8th grader to do any job that a college grad a first year worker at McDonald's is doing. Birdbrain is so ignorant of the fact that many trades people make an excellent living. Plus, there are several US billionaires that got bored with college and dropped out.

It looks like those two major languages you highlighted does not include English. My guess is Ebonics and some other worthless language. Professional students that go to school 10 years after high school don't impress me. It just proves that many would rather stay in school rather than get a real job and get off their lazy ass. Papa must have plenty of dough.  

The doc must be a proctologist cause he sure spews a lot of crap.

Why are so many people with Ph.D's so freaking stupid? Why do so many people who allegedly have genius I.Q.'s unable to think their way out of a paper bag?

Just asking?

Once again, who runs the teacher's unions? Oh yeah, the DEMOCRATS!  And BB (I know you are reading this), just because someone does not have a set of letters behind their name does NOT mean they have given up on learning, just on what you consider learning. As to your last comment, I want to thank you for finally saying what was on your mind. The right for you to speak your mind was guaranteed by the blood of patriots, people who you vilify over at DU. But guess what, that right goes both ways. And I have the right to say

Its been said before that advanced degrees are an exercise in learning more and more about less and less - and there might be something to that cliche. Its been my experience that many with advanced degrees have a vast amount of knowledge in one specific area...And nothing else.

[USA4ME]

Poor 275 lbs. BB.

I'll make this as clear as I can to you, BB, and every other primitive out there.  I'm smarter than you.  You can't even hope to catch up with how much futher I am ahead of each and every one of you.  You could collectively place your "intelligence" into one person and I would still think circles around you.  None of you on the island can keep up with us here at CC.  And there are millions of us out there.  And we'll always be a quintrillion steps ahead of you on our worst days.

BB, the only thing you did was prove you are willing to say things online you wouldn't dare say to us in person.  You're scared.  All of you primitives are scared.  And stupid.

I miss conservatives like William F Buckley who could engage in thoughtful discussion, was well read, had a keen mind, and didn't insult people who disagreed with him.

Wow, what complete and utter Male Bovine Excrement spewing from your over educated pie hole. The above is an utter lie because, if you were actually interested in debating conservatives, you wouldn't hang out at a website that bans conservatives outright. But, then again, you're a DUmbass and lying comes second nature to you....along with hating America, bigotry and support of pedophilia.

Who's controlled education since the late 70's and introduction of the NEA, you dumb bitch?

BTW, you may have a lawsuit against the creators of Southpark. I think "Miss Chokesondick" was patterned after you. Google it. You'll notice the resemblance.

BTW, what's your PhD in? If it's not a hard science, you'll have to excuse me if I'm not all that impressed. A PhD in some bullshit moonbat science isn't worth as much to me as a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering. Sorry, Prog, it is what it is.

[chitownchica]

I see the DUmbass has been banned, but I know she'll read this.  Did she ever say what her course of study was? I highly doubt she has a PhD.  I've never heard someone spout so many uneducated talking points in all my life.

Geez- how about a report from someone who lives right in the city? I'm in Lincoln Park, and whenever Obama's sons get bored, they take the red line to the north side and start trouble.  A few summers ago the LGBT center on Halsted felt bad for them and invited them to their meeting location. I'll bet some of your friends on DU can confirm the info I'm providing.  Boystown (gay area) was terrorized all summer.  It made for an interesting situation when two of the democrat's favorite groups came to blows.  Last summer the city kept closing Fullerton and Oak St. beaches because gangs would show up and  raise hell.  

It's a mad house on the south side. I feel sorry for innocent people who are trapped there, but they are going to have to take care of the  problems on their  own.  People are shot there every day.

[Lacarnut]

I am waiting to see how intelligent Obummer is. The Magic Negro has paid millions to keep his college records secret. Betcha his IQ and grades are not that great along with other posers like Gore and Kerry that graduated from Harvard/Ivy league universities. Sure have a bunch of educated idiots that come from those schools.

[chitownchica]

Oh, and the ****ing teachers unions are a joke here.  If Chicago allowed for vouchers, some of those kids could escape the hell hole that is the south side. You think the Dems want to allow that? Rahm is closing numerous schools, but I doubt the smart kids who want to escape will have any choice of where they go.

[Vagabond]

In 22 years of service, I learned that college educated did not always equal smart.  Considering the nature of active duty service, I'm sure you have seen quite a few college graduates shuffled off to a corner where they could suck their thumb and not get anyone killed.  God knows I saw my fair share.

I still remember a certain young African-American female butter bar with a psychology degree that somehow wound up in the Signal Corps.  She was screwing up and making a lot of mistakes, mainly because her first platoon sergeant was too busy trying to get in her panties to teach her anything.  It led to her having a massive, unjustified ego and the belief that she could do and say anything she wanted to the much more experienced troops in her platoon.

The incident that sticks in my mind happened when we had a trouble call on one of our vans.  A modem that was well past it's service hours crapped out and after troubleshooting we (another soldier and I) replaced the problem card and had just finished the paperwork when she walked up and asked what the problem had been.  When the other soldier told her what the problem was she called him a liar.  I literally had to interpose myself to keep him from wringing her neck.

Plenty of unfit teachers in the classroom throughout the US. My nephew got divorced from one and now separated from the other. Both of them are screwballs. The last one tried to commit suicide two years ago. She goes on sabbatical and comes back teaching. Evidently a mental disorder is not grounds to get rid of this loser. His soon to be ex does not weigh as much as the Doc but it is close.

Nice how you choose to call people stupid and imply they can't make a living.  80% of Americans don't have a college degree.  A lot have what I have which is a few certifications that show we know our stuff.  College Education is really good for bleeding edge research and development, it is a good deal less useful in many other circumstances.

A college degree today begins to make up for the appalling k-12 education. It's a baseline of qualification you need to get a job even at some McDonald's these days.  Without it, your chances of earning a decent living are much less. So get back on the fry-o-lator and make me some fries DUmbass.  

I have a PhD, which is an additional 10 years of education, proficiency in two foreign languages, major and minor comprehensive examinations, dissertation field work and a doctoral dissertation more than a BA. In your case it was a wasted 14 years.  

A degree of any kind certainly is not an indicator of intelligence. You certainly prove this to be true judging by your inane postings. 

It just means the person had an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and acquire a base of knowledge in a field. An opportunity that you failed to take advantage of.  

There are some very well read people without college degrees.  People, however, who reject education and knowledge a priori have chosen to make themselves stupid.  Stupid is a choice.  Lack of opportunity does not make a person stupid.  Stupid is refusing to consider evidence and never challenging preexisting views. I guess that makes you one of the most stupid people ever to walk the face of the earth then 

Someone needs to keep an eye on DU to see what story she spins to explain her time here.

[txradioguy]

Note to the Lurkers and the recently banned.

This was probably one of the worst attemtps at pwn3ng us ignorant racist Conservatives I've been privy to in quite a long time.

For those thinking of following in BB's footsteps...if you want to last here...don't follow her example.

If you'll notice she never answered direct questions put before her, she refused to cite sources for her statements and the one time she tried to back anything up...it was from Wiki.

She was arrogant, obtuse and without substance...quite the trifecta of "fail" for someone who claims to have a PhD. from UT.

BB was the embodiment of what happens when you only talk amongnst people who say the exact same things you do and do not allow or even entertain difference of opinion or thought...she was completely lost in the real world and it showed.

We're not scare of you, we don't quiver in your midst for fear of our beliefs being smashed.  Quite the opposite...we seek you idiots out we challenge you and we come prepared with facts...not fiction.

And we expect you to do the same.

Better luck next time.

Notice the ugly red manatee immediately mentions a "BA."  A "BA" is most worthless college degree they give, but it's common among liberals.  It basically means you never took a hard class.

Then SH/it says it took her 10 years PAST a "BA" to get a "PhD".  It takes most people 4 or 5 years past the Bachelor's degree, this idiot took 10!!!

[JohnnyReb]

It takes 10 years to get a PhD in Stupid ?????? Wow, that must be aw hard subject.

Her PhD is probably like the stomp on Jesus prof at Florida Atlantic.  Here's his illustrious background:

Dr. Poole’s research program focuses on the role mediated messages play in shaping individual attitudes and beliefs concerning issues of justice and inequality, and examines how leaders, organizations and other influential authorities dominate and oppress marginalized groups of people. In 2009, Dr. Poole completed his doctoral dissertation entitled: The Historic Presidential Campaign of 2008: A Content Analysis of Selected News Magazines Portrayal of Senator Barack Obama as a Mythical Hero in His Bid for the Presidency of the United States. His research has been presented at state, regional, national and international conferences. Presently, he is authoring the book, Obamamania: The Rise of a Mythical Hero, to be published by the Edwin Mellon Press. He has been teaching at the university level for six years.

This kind of bullshit degree is a joke.  Oh, and Dr. Poole is a Democrat official in Florida. Shocked?
