Nah, I'm not upset that you are both jealous of me. I can pick what I really want to do in life and know that I am financially secure no matter what job I choose. I can pick my childhood dream job and not worry about if I have enough money to buy a house.

Again, WTF are you talking about? Stay on topic for once.

It's obvious that you have absolutely no argument with this. You can't even stay within the scope of the topic at hand.

I've posted information that Troy State is Tier 2, and that US News and World Report and Kaplan's considers Tier 2 to be middle of the road. You've said your personal opinion was that they are poorly regarded. I asked for evidence to support your opinion, and all you can do is restate your opinion. Neither one of you has offered anything other than a personal opinion.

OBVIOUSLY. So have you. Are you really this stupid?

I've provided my opinion and said why.

You just cry about it.

Evidence =! a tautological explanation.

Again, it is my OPINION based on the US News and how I interpret it.

So what are you going to cry about next?

No, my reading skills are fine. Your skills are obviously lacking.

Your school was brought up as comparison to Troy State. How does my degree have anything to do with Troy State? I had plenty high enough ACT and GPA to go to a top notch school and major in anything I wanted. I didn't like Broadcast Meteorology as much as I thought so I settled on something else. Again, why does my major matter so much? I can afford to major in that and be a Police Officer or the like and be ok with that. I'm happy with my place in society. I'm not insecure enough to think that a degree is going to make me revered in society. What you accomplish in life and how people remember you is a lot more important than where you went to school. That's the whole point of what I am saying. You don't have to have an MBA from Harvard for people to like or respect you.

But the point everyone else is trying to make and the point of this thread is to discuss the status of Troy State. We are not here to discuss your view on what it takes to succeed, your ACT scores, your major or how to earn respect.

And they said it was poorly regarded, whereas Kaplans, US News, and others have said it is middle of the road. Middle of the Road 2nd tier is not poorly regarded. If they stopped personally attacking me, then there might not be a need for me to defend myself.

Again, I didn't really attack you at first. You said that I was possibly homosexual, an elitist asshole, and a prick.

Again, you repeatedly insulted and attacked me. Stop painting yourself off as a victim.

Now, again, it is of my opinion that a school that is ranked 2nd tier in a southern only ranking of non-doctoral schools is not highly regarded. It seems fairly poor to me.

2nd tier schools, are 2nd tier schools no matter the region. There arent any non doctoral schools in the top 250.

Post some evidence to support your opinion. I've already posted plenty to support mine. Saying you suck your friend off is not insinuating anything about your sexual status. Sucking someone off or sucking up to them has never meant someone was homosexual. Stop trying to play that card with me. I can shut you down quick there. And yes, you are an elitist asshole. You've already said that Troy State was poorly regarded even though every national ranking place disagrees. Either you are elitist or stupid. Pick one.

As for being a prick, I think it's fairly obvious that you TRY to be a prick, but it is really hard for a nancy-boy like you to come off as tough and mean. You sound more like a whining little poodle or shi-tzu to me. Yapping at my ankles because you want my respect.

lol

You're the one telling us about your life as if you're trying to get respect. Nobody cares.

Like I said, my proof is the US News rankings.

From the very beginning and in other threads you've tried to pass me off as a redneck because I chose to remain in Alabama. While you are entitled to your opinion, it doesn't mean I won't defend myself. And you do truly fit the definition of an elitist prick.

Again, don't tell me your life story or plans. I really don't care about you.

Again, all I've been saying since the beginning is that Troy State has a poor reputation. That's it. And depending on what your standards are, then it is poorly regarded. It's not completely worthless, but it's poorly regarded overall.

So stop posting here with irrelevant information.

Like I said, I understand your jealousy, but you will just have to get over it. Let me know when you graduate and I will offer you a job one day. Maybe you can cut my grass or do my taxes?

Nah, I don't think that I'd mow the lawn inside of a trailer park.

I bought a brand new house in Birmingham about 6 months ago. Do you want pictures, or do you want me to get the mower fueled up for you?

Well, I wouldn't be able to mow your lawn while you have all of your cars on blocks in your lawn.

I'm sure my A4 and heavily modded Mustang won't fit in my basement. I'm actually selling the Mustang. Want to buy it for about 35K?

Sure, I'll fly in on my private jet to make the deal.

Also, my dog's name is Spot.

You're commenting about others trying to show off and get respect, but you are the one posting about you new house and your badass car...You seem to be getting confused. Maybe you should take a nap.

WTF are you talking about? In many threads about Alabama, the South, etc. we've been on the same side. You have confused me with someone else because I've never said such a thing.

But your opinion flys in the face of what the US news and world report rankings actually mean. I can base an opinion of an article, but the article has to support what I'm saying. By pure logic 2nd tier means it would not be poor, because poor would have to be less than the middle tier. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Tier. You could make an argument that 1st Tier is Good, 2nd Tier is Average, 3rd is Fair, and 4th is Horrible.

It's asinine to suggest that 2nd tier would correlate to a poor category.

Actually I said Troy State was middle of the road. I never said it was number one or excellent. The same argument could apply to you, but saying that everything in Alabama is POOR or sh!tty and that's it.

It's fairly moronic to attempt to say I said Troy State was a magnificent school. From the beginning my argument was that Troy State was not "poorly' regarded, and that it was about Average.

There's really no point for this anymore... Everyone has their own standards. Yours are obviously lower than many others here, but it's yours so good for you.

Again, why does my major matter so much? I can afford to major in that and be a Police Officer or the like and be ok with that. I'm happy with my place in society. I'm not insecure enough to think that a degree is going to make me revered in society. What you accomplish in life and how people remember you is a lot more important than where you went to school. That's the whole point of what I am saying. You don't have to have an MBA from Harvard for people to like or respect you.

But the point everyone else is trying to make and the point of this thread is to discuss the status of Troy State. We are not here to discuss your view on what it takes to succeed, your ACT scores, your major or how to earn respect.

And they said it was poorly regarded, whereas Kaplans, US News, and others have said it is middle of the road. Middle of the Road 2nd tier is not poorly regarded. If they stopped personally attacking me, then there might not be a need for me to defend myself.

Again, I didn't really attack you at first. You said that I was possibly homosexual, an elitist asshole, and a prick.

Again, you repeatedly insulted and attacked me. Stop painting yourself off as a victim.

Now, again, it is of my opinion that a school that is ranked 2nd tier in a southern only ranking of non-doctoral schools is not highly regarded. It seems fairly poor to me.

Post some evidence to support your opinion. I've already posted plenty to support mine. Saying you suck your friend off is not insinuating anything about your sexual status. Sucking someone off or sucking up to them has never meant someone was homosexual. Stop trying to play that card with me. I can shut you down quick there. And yes, you are an elitist asshole. You've already said that Troy State was poorly regarded even though every national ranking place disagrees. Either you are elitist or stupid. Pick one.

As for being a prick, I think it's fairly obvious that you TRY to be a prick, but it is really hard for a nancy-boy like you to come off as tough and mean. You sound more like a whining little poodle or shi-tzu to me. Yapping at my ankles because you want my respect.

lol

You're the one telling us about your life as if you're trying to get respect. Nobody cares.

Like I said, my proof is the US News rankings.

From the very beginning and in other threads you've tried to pass me off as a redneck because I chose to remain in Alabama. While you are entitled to your opinion, it doesn't mean I won't defend myself. And you do truly fit the definition of an elitist prick.

WTF are you talking about? In many threads about Alabama, the South, etc. we've been on the same side. You have confused me with someone else because I've never said such a thing.

I don't think so. I never liked your posts or you. If I ever agreed with you it was done for the expediency of the situation and not because I have a single modicum of respect for you.

Nah, I'm not upset that you are both jealous of me. I can pick what I really want to do in life and know that I am financially secure no matter what job I choose. I can pick my childhood dream job and not worry about if I have enough money to buy a house.

Again, WTF are you talking about? Stay on topic for once.

It's obvious that you have absolutely no argument with this. You can't even stay within the scope of the topic at hand.

I've posted information that Troy State is Tier 2, and that US News and World Report and Kaplan's considers Tier 2 to be middle of the road. You've said your personal opinion was that they are poorly regarded. I asked for evidence to support your opinion, and all you can do is restate your opinion. Neither one of you has offered anything other than a personal opinion.

OBVIOUSLY. So have you. Are you really this stupid?

I've provided my opinion and said why.

You just cry about it.

Evidence =! a tautological explanation.

Again, it is my OPINION based on the US News and how I interpret it.

So what are you going to cry about next?

But your opinion flys in the face of what the US news and world report rankings actually mean. I can base an opinion of an article, but the article has to support what I'm saying. By pure logic 2nd tier means it would not be poor, because poor would have to be less than the middle tier. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Tier. You could make an argument that 1st Tier is Good, 2nd Tier is Average, 3rd is Fair, and 4th is Horrible.

It's asinine to suggest that 2nd tier would correlate to a poor category.

You have 248 doctoral granting schools ahead of the tier 1, 2, 3, 4. But yes, tier 2 schools arent poorly regarded. They arent the worst, they aren't the best. They are somewhere in the middle. Id say easily in the top 50% of all universities in the US, probably in the top 35-40%.

In my opinion, a 2nd tier ranked school in a southern only non-doctoral ranking is a poorly regarded school. That's it. If you're 2nd tier, 3rd tier, or 4th tier, then you're not highly regarded.

I think I've given you plenty of chances to support your opinion with evidence. Saying something X times doesn't make it anymore true or valid.

Well obviously lol. However I have never called you a redneck or came into other threads to insult you. That's your job, just like you did in this thread. Completely unprovoked, unchecked, brutish anger.

So you've given up on actually making a useful post and are now using this thread to be an asshold and post sarcastic and inane comments. Bravo, very mature.

Not to disturb your myopia with some correction, but I believe I've been pretty much insulted and attacked with the same type of posts. So if I am guilty of being immature, then so are your partners in crim.
