    Name calling is not exactly a sign of intelligence.

    Name calling is not exactly a sign of intelligence.

    Perhaps some know the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Interesting that those who claim to care more about the less fortunate (Poor, uneducated etc) have so much contempt for them.

    Also interesting that those who claim superior intelligence want the government to do their thinking for them.

    Why didn't you include history, world affairs, and political science?

    Oh boy how wrong you are. My dad was a firefighter for 33 years. For many of those 33 years there were no women on the job. Not only were there guys my dad worked with who couldn’t carry someone but there were also those who wouldn’t go into burning buildings.

    I am not listening to her. We federal insurance loans like we always do. We just stopped doing that for student loans and took it over completely and became the lender. Along it much easier for folks to get loans and colleges to drive up cost

    The sweet deal in 2010 was done to make academics, who support libs, happy. Warren for example made out like a bandit

    So you're not ok with male firefighters who can't carry a person out of a building?

    I dont believe you

    During the time your dad was a firefighter one of the events in Army boot camp was the 175 yard man carry

    And no little guy who was drafted off the street and a typical American male was exempted

    They all did it

    You want to play silly games.

    The answer was no.

    The answer before either of us entered the thread was no..

    Stop posting looking for stupid "wins" and actually discuss the topic.

    You’ve proven a student can get a loan potentially but not a student loan. I’ve provided the 2010 law and testimony from banks

    I didn't realize I had to name every major under the sun. I figured you got the idea from what I posted. But I was a history major, so feel free to let me know what kind of liberal indoctrination was going on in those classes.
    Oh and I noticed you had nothing to offer regarding what students in those classes I mention are being taught regarding indoctrination.

    As an aside I attended a town hall meeting last night by my congressmen

    A woman told him that 61% of all firefighters in America will get cancer

    I was very shocked to hear that

    Yet you only called out women until I called you on it. I am discussing the topic...not my fault you're uncomfortable with your stance

    Oh nothing I suppose

    But when the Women Are Equal To Men debate comes up sooner or later race becomes part of it too

    No idea. I just know what they couldn't do when they were on the job....and got to remain on the job. Sad.
