Anyways, saw this across my stocks watchlist and was highly amused :

Buy Trump branded straws as an alternative to the liberal paper ones! What a world we live in

What a world indeed!

But is anyone on here surprised that the Trumpettes love to suck on Trump's straw?

Whatever you feel like you wanna do, gosh!

Now give me some of your tots!

If you represent what the left is becoming, then I want no part of it. People with such certitude and righteousness are dangerous, just as dangerous as Trump has ever been or will be. The left needs the center and hopefully the left will not allow arguments like yours to prevail, or we'll never win another major election.

He was always going to vote for Trump.

He was desperately trying to discourage people from voting for ANY democrat.

I'm very left and mortified by where our country has gone. But you are basically daring the poster to vote for the Orange Mussolini. You need to get a grip.

Gordon Frank - you are one of the dumbest people here. Do you now know latin honor GPAs vary from school to school? It is not as simplistic as you made it out to be. For Summa Cumm Laude at Boston University it is the top 5%, for Magna Cumm Laude it is the next 10% and for Cumm Laude it is the next 15%. You are obviously none of these or you would know. My GPA was 3.99 - what was yours? Again, if you were any of these you would know that they vary from school to school. Are you attending Junior College or ITT?

What a juvenile thing to say. You said something idiotic and someone calls you out on it and your only response is, "Republicans all got C's in high school. They never liked the smart kids, so they vote for idiots." And she was "graduated with honors from Boston University." Do you not know to use the past passive in that instance? Fat Hurts - did you get D's in high school? You are not sounding very intelligent. In fact, you are sounding like a dunce.

What I said was correct and borne out by further analysis in this thread.

I was a STEM major, so I really don't care if my grammar is perfect. But I'm pretty sure that what I said was grammatically correct. Plus, you misquoted me.

Yes, I made a juvenile comment in reply to a juvenile comment. It was quite warranted.

Now it's time for you to yell, "abortion, abortion, abortion!!!".

And why should we believe you, Lyin' Sally?

How many people here think Sally got into a top 50 school?

isn't the average GPA at elite schools up around 3.5 now? I think grade inflation has made grades pretty silly. Esp when everyone knows STEM grades are harder to get than humanities grades.

The problem with grading in graduate school is that if everyone completes an assignment, and meets all the requirements, why would you grade them down (on a curve)? It is ridiculous to do so. As a comparison to undergrad, if 50% of the students score 100%, and the 50% of the students score 95-99%. Do the 95% score deserve a grade of C, and 97% a B, so that the grade average comes out to 3.0? The difference of 5% on a test does not justify a test grade of 2.0 versus a test grade of 4.0.

I am quite certain that in your hypothetical example the professor could just as easily have given a test on the same subject to the same students where 50% of the students would score 0% and the other 50% would score 5% or lower. Would straight F's across the board then be appropriate?

So, your example shows an example of a worthless test. It does not show an example of all students being outstanding. It does not in any way imply that all 100% of the students have demonstrated exceptional understanding and insights on that particular subject.

The only reason I continually go to that abortion thing is because it astounds me how supposedly very well educated individuals and reasonable in most other aspects of life (not referring to you as you are pro-life) are okay with denying medical aid to a baby who survives an abortion and is alive and breathing and is a viable baby. All these Democratic candidates - pretty much every one- are in favor of denying medical aid to that baby. That is barbaric. That IS Infanticide. I really have a MAJOR problem with anyone who would not mandate that that baby gets medical attention. Just horrific.

I was going to say "1" (Lying Sally) but then (duh), Sally of course knows that she did not go to a top 50 school or get her "3.99".

So, the correct answer is zero.

Well, yeah . . . except for that part about anyone being in favor of denying medical aid to a viable baby. Minor point, I know.

Do you ever not lie? Ever?

I would have more understanding for the Republican stance on abortion if the party ever showed concern for human beings in general. Their position on abortion is nothing more than a deal they made with the devil (the evangelicals) in the 1970s. It's deeply disingenuous and made all the worse by their utter lack of concern for the needs of people in the working and middle classes.

Here is Dems in Congress blocking a bill in Congress to mandate that care be given to a baby born alive from an abortion. Do you Barbarians NEVER not lie?

YOu will say Fox News on the last one but here is PBS ...

It was actually top 40 - I just checked the rankings.

Anyone who is not a moron can graduate with honors from any university in the US. If you put in the work, it would take a special kind of stupid to not have a 3.6 or better.

That is not true at all. Not even close to true. There are a lot of people who are barely capable of going to college who do so and try as hard as they can and graduate with a 2.5 from below average or mediocre colleges. Those people are not morons either, just not highly intelligent. You are also not accounting for some of the very tough colleges in this country. Not all of the Ivy League colleges have reputations of being a grind for example, but many of them are very tough, and many other colleges outside of the Ivy League have either very tough standards for work or difficult grading scales.

Examples of very academically rigorous non-Ivy League colleges in no particular order:

1) Carnegie Mellon

2) MIT

3) Swarthmore

4) University of Chicago

5) Johns Hopkins

6) California Institute of Technology

Sorry, but not just anyone can even graduate from those schools if the doors were open to everyone let alone graduate with honors. You could not be more wrong.

This is why you don't strike me as someone well-educated.

You keep bringing up this idea that people are "okay with denying medical aid to a baby who survives an abortion and is alive and breathing and is a viable baby." But there is not a single example of anyone who holds that view.

Governor Northam did not say that. He was not referring to a viable baby. He only said that a doctor would work with the mother to decide what should be done.

And you just continue with this ridiculous story despite being totally wrong about its premise. Well-educated people don't do that.

No it wasn't Dumb Dumb. Name the college and I will tell you how good it is. You won't do it.

Your link is broken. But assuming that there was such a bill, you should be able to find floor debate and written statements from Democrats. Show me where a single person said that medical aid should not be rendered to a viable baby.

You see, a well-educated person would know to do that instead of trying to post a link to Fox News.

You missed my two links which supported my claims. Go back and read them. I was not even talking about the governor - I was talking about members of Congress.

Here is one where Dems are denying aid to babies - just despicable ....
