Pretty much like your arguments about my degree, and that if you say it enough it makes it true!

I absolutely agree with you.
Be careful though - if Mill doesn't agree with you then he'll call you an asshole.
Well, this argument isn't really about that. It's about the reputation of the school. It's been said many times that the reputation doesn't necessarily reflect the individual student. Many times many people have said, here in this thread, that it doesn't matter where you go to school.
I can handle someone having a different opinion. How does me calling you an elitist asshole mean I can't handle your opinion? Maybe it is you that can't handle my opinion, because you obviously have a problem with me calling you elitist.
I don't think that anyone said that anyone is making assumptions about the people that go to the school. There have been lots of comments stating that the school does not make the person. All that's being discussed is the rank/reputation of Troy state (except by Mil who finds his family life, house and cars relavent to the topic)
Which I later commented and took back.
Still no reason to call someone an asshole, prick, and whatever else.
Try to justify your thuggish behavior however you want - it's amusing to me.
You obviously cannot handle someone having a different opinion, as you've shown that you revert to a thuggish behavior when it happens.
Actually what he said is what I've been saying all along. *shrug* I said that I didn't think Troy State was poorly regarded. They've got some impressive rankings for their size and resources and they are a great value. I also made the point that where you went to school doesn't matter as much as how impressive your achievements and skills are. I also said that you don't need a degree from an Ivy League school to get a job. I've said that all along, but sometimes the trees interfere with your view of the forest, eh?
At least we agree on this. As I've said many many times in this thread and in many other threads - it doesn't matter where you went to for 99.9% of jobs or graduate schools.
I didn't bring up anything about myself until they attacked where I went to school and my choices for choosing a certain school. I only posted in my first post about my options and why I chose. It wasn't until later when they kept attacking me did I try to explain why I am going where I am going and why I am majoring in that degree. I said before that I have family here, and that'd I'd rather do my dream job since I was finanically secure. Somehow me defending myself was irrelevant, but their insults about my school and degree were on-topic.
Yes, but later you called me a prick, an asshole, and insinuated that I partake in homosexual activities (not that there's anything wrong with that - however your tone seemed insulting) AFTER I took that comment back. You simply said that you took offense from calling Troy St. poorly regarded.
You brought up your life story almost immediately! Reread this thread... Here's your post, which started all of this:
"Yeah, but you are an elitist asshole... Not everyone can afford Vanderbilt or even wants to go there. I was accepted there and I had the money, but I didn't want to be around elitist assholes like you. Actually it was more that Mississippi State offered me a scholarship and is number one in my former major, and Vandy didn't even offer my major. Yeah, I love people who judge someone solely on where they got their degree from. Troy State is no Harvard, but it certainly is not anything like ITT tech. It is a major Division I University with over 18k students and several campuses."

You actually brought up my old school and where you were accepted to, enrolled in, etc from the very beginning.
Maybe parts of your history were brought up after you were bringing up another's history (BU *smirk*) - but that doesn't mean that YOU didn't initiate it first.
Never once accused you of being a homosexual. I said one of you sucks the other off(i.e. sucking up to someone). I've said it numerous times before and it has never had a sexual-preference rider attached to it.
Secondly, I wasn't the only one who called you an asshole. Frdm51472 called you an asshole as well, but you never responded to his comments. I said what I said and left the thread. I come back later to see about 15-20 successive posts by you and your friend trying to attack me because I tried to give perspective on why everyone is not obsessed with going to a top 25 school. You then took that as me stating my life story, when it was me actually giving you a personal background for WHY someone might go to school like Troy State, or Mississippi State, or Auburn, or UAB, or wherever. I took more offense to you saying no where in Alabama was suited for Undergrad, but whatever. Don't act innocent.
So TWO FVCKING sentences on WHY I didn't chose a top undergrad school is telling my life story? To me it seems more like a pre-emptive attack on one of you saying I went to UAB and Mississippi State because I couldn't get in anywhere else.

I've never denied that I didn't initiate part of it, but you both have denied your complicity in it and have tried to act innocent while trying to bait me.
I already admitted what I said in the beginning was wrong. frdm51472 called me a jackass b/c of that wrong statement I made.
I'm not claiming to be innocent at all - anyone that has made any insult at any time would not be innocent. However, you always seem to attack other people who have a different opinion than yourself.
I wouldn't have said anything else about what you said had you just rescinded it. In fact I would have said sorry that you weren't elitist, but perhaps exaggerating about how bad TSU is. However, while you rescinded it you also later insulted and attacked me with your friend numerous times. By the time I got back to the thread you'd both made several posts criticizing me. So while you may have rescinded it, you also insulted me numerous times.
Wow...this is like an IRC fight.
