That just pegged the needle on my sarcasm detector, I'll be sending you the bill for it's re-adjustment! How do you like them apples?

Mill, he was just poking you with a sharp pointy stick because he knew it would elicit the desired reaction from you He used the classic stereotype for southern rednecks as his Ad Hom, nose picking trailer trash with cars on cinder blocks all over the front yard. Besides, your possessions, or lack thereof, do not define you, and those who use them to attempt to do so only demonstrate their superficiality. Look, creature comforts are great, but don't attach too much importance to them, or, to paraphrase a member here's sig "The possessions you own, will end up owning you"

No, I totally agree. It was an asshole thing for me to say anything about it, because what makes a person is not something material. What defines a person is what people think of them and what they do for others, and I'd say I know that I don't have a great track record on AT right now.

Is it just me or does it really make no difference what school you go to just so long as you know the material? I live in RIT land, and I know several people who have graduated from RIT with a CS degree who don't know what recursion is....essentially showing me that the degree means nothing. I've also met several people from other 'joke' schools who were amoung the best programmer's I've met.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm sure most RIT grads are very skilled.....I'm just saying that you can't make your basis entirely off the school's name).

i think it's the area. there are smart people up there, but in general, not so bright. and don't even get me started on their driving...

I sort of understand more why arguing with Mill is a pointless endevour, he seems to be able to prove himself well everytime once you realize that only his world is involved, not the one the rest of us live in.

I believe with further restriction (perhaps eliminating Junior Colleges and contrasting only with local High Schools) Troy State may very well become the Top Tier 1 University in our Nation. That is my challenge.

Morning bump for the new ATOT soap opera

Someone link to the thread about the top tier schools giving almost straight A's their last two years due to thier not wanting to blemish a student's record. I'm overgeneralizing a bit yes. But some here are kinda sounding likesmarty pants eletists. OP why don't you interview them and find out why Troy State?

 

[maziwanka]

even if it is a lower tier school or whatever, its still pretty d!ck of your boss to highlight it and say "ha ha". idiot.

Hey, I'm a proud graduate of TSU. I hated that place, but the girls were f'ing awesome and they outnumbered us. I never got laid so much in my life as I did there.

Funny trivia about Troy, AL: The school mascot is the "Trojans" and they actually make condoms in town!

EDIT: At least they did in the late 70's/early 80's.

trojan makes a crap load of condoms in nearby enterprise or dothan, is that the same plant?

I dont think the school matters as much as the social circle you run in. I have been to 3 colleges and all provided what I needed,
