I only have more book learning than my spouse. It has really bothered me. What do you all think about education (book learning) as opposed to living (life experience). BTS sometimes says to our friends how much smarter I am than he is.............GUESS WHAT!!!



Many people do their learning by reading and study on a personal level - and not by formal education. I have met so many knowledgeable people who do and do not have FORMAL education. I respect them so much - BTS is one of them. It is life experience........WOOHOOO.

So lets go back to IQ - or DESIRE - Or NEED - to WANT. You go Snooze!

My thought is that all things equal out in this life................we get to be symbiotic in our relationships...........give and take from and to each other.

WHY does it ever matter who has more education when you get along sooooo well.

LOL...... I hate the hand and glove treatment......... as it is used TOO often in my household......

Sheesh What in the heck is this all about? I told my cousin (from Colorado) NV was a professor at a college....... and smarter than I is'm........

So Wtf is the problem........... She BEE smarter than me............. NO prob... I sorta like it.....

The one thing I have over my competition for a job I'm interviewing for now is that I speak blue-collar. I'm the only one that's worked - physical work - for a living & a major part of the job is interacting with mechanics & heavy construction equipment operators.

You gotta know these people love you already............that's how BTS got his current job.

Thanks. fingers crossed.



But back to the subject at hand. Smart people don't marry idiots. Sheepskin don't mean the person knows how to use all the knowledge he has in his head. The way a person learned to cope with & conquer life is far less relevant than the fact the person did it.

I agree with Far. You're both a couple of wise-asses. :yh_flower

Libertarian Quiz Score 46

31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.

Same with Liberal.

Way too many teachers think it would be great to work with kids, go to college and then go straight back to the classroom to become teachers.

Now here's a problem...How can they teach children to be prepared for the real world, WHEN THEY'VE NEVER BEEN THERE?!! School, both lower and higher education , is an artificial environment! It's not like the working environment!

That's why I agree with ACC that everyone needs both real world expereince and book learning.

The books will give you the skills to tackle problems and create solutions. The life experience allows you to recognize the problems, and possibly avoid them altogether.

Liberal is a word that "Neo-cons" bastardized.



as you can see in those test most people are to the center....



So if you want to label me as one I accept it proudly, this country was founded with checks and balances and the day that ends we will no longer be "United".

Who's bastardizing the word Liberal?

Those that would have you believe it is evil, lol:-4

You said Neo-cons bastardized the word, why are you asking the question?



Dictionary.com partially defnes liberal as:

Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.That doesn't describe either of the major US parties.



Now, hoping against hope, will you answer my question? I'll post it again to ease confusion.

That's how you see liberals - the only ones for checks and balances?
