  1. Re:Real world should have consequences too on Classroom Bullies On The Internet · · Score: 1

    Seeing as they agreed earlier to protest elsewhere, I don't see why the city has to change the agreement now. The protesters are just bait-and-switching NYC, leavning the organizers of the protest about as honest as used car salesmen.

  2. Re:"life peers" vs "birth peers" on Fewer Computer Science Majors · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, you are bitter you got saddled with a $100k debt and nothing to show for it but a tendency to "correct" people by making statements like "Nobility is an inheritable title".

    So the pot calls the kettle black, I see.

  3. Re:Old World Culture/Titles of Nobility on Fewer Computer Science Majors · · Score: 2, Informative

    A title of nobility is something that is usually given without much earning. A degree is something that a person must work for. It requires time, and effort. In addition to that, a lot of education is publically funded. Public universities are funded by the government so as to make higher education available to the masses. Where nobility was very exclusive, rarely gifted to new people and was almost exclusively passed down through the family lines, degrees can be attained by most anyone who tries. I know people who's parents never went to college and yet, somehow, they are working towards getting degrees right now. Degrees lack the exclusivity of noble titles, as well as their distrobution method. So, going by your logic, I could successfully equate the way that the US government subsidizes farmers to the fuedal serf system of old Europe (in keeping with your old world theme).
