Nothing else.

We'll give Steve a chance to come clean on his own!

Have a go at it Fat Boy! One thing for sure is it's nothing I've lied
about here!

Unlike the PhD you claim to have. LOL!

For sure I will not touch 'this' to take 'this' to bath.

Take your words for yourself.
Take a bath and beware of the whales.

You did lie about having the PhD did you not?

Repeating for the slow-reading N8KDV:
I thought I had it, as I had completed all the requirements. A technicality and
the departure of one of the professors sitting on my dissertation committee
kept me from being conferred a PhD. I have explained this before. And I really
have completed the coursework for two PhD's one in Rhetoric & Public Address
and another one in Interpersonal Communication. I know all of that leaves me
far behind your Business Admin degree from Grand Valley State.

There was no deliberate lie on my part.

Now, what was that last of employment, Steve?

My last day of employment? Why it was yesterday! I made a run down to Celina, Ohio.

Well, technically you've lied about it.

And I really

Really?

Obviously, because I haven't lied about my degree!

There was no deliberate lie on my part.

Nah! You wouldn't lie or fabricate would you?

Now, what was that last of employment, Steve? Why are you so afraid to tell us?
Afraid of being caught?

Caught at what? Lying about a nonexistent PhD? Why would I do that? I don't have
one!

I also have the result of your investigation back. Should I proceed?

As I said post away! But better check with your 'lawyer relatives' first! One
mistake and you're toast Fat Boy... toast!

I don't know if this is true, but let's restate the idea a little. Let's
say liberals are more likely to live in the theoretical world and
conservatives are more likely to live in the practical world. Practical in
the sense of hands on, working with tools, etc.

For every theory, a counter theory can be assembled using different
assumptions. Of course, many theories can be tossed out on logical grounds,
but many will stand fast until confirmed or disproved by actual facts. In
the theoretical world, very little is really settled.

But in the practical world, poor assumptions are often disproven
immediately. If something doesn't work, it doesn't work. Every one who
works with making things or fixing things knows full well that 90% of new
ideas are crud. Ideas proven by the test of time are highly valued.

Frank,

Is this a straw-man argument or are you actually saying conservatives
are pragmatic rather than ideological? It certainly isn't true. How
much real-world hands-on training have Condi Rice, Perle & Wolfowitz,
and Dubya himself had? Was the Laffer curve based on empirical
observation?

There are leftists of the academy and rightists of the academy, and
working leftists and working rightists. I don't think any
of the generalizations that have cropped up in this thread can be
said to apply all too accurately.

Every argument of this kind, including yours, boils down to "hooray
for our side" The liberal guys all say liberals are smarter
and more cultured, and the rightist guys say conservatives are smarter,
or in this case practical and realistic. There are smart people on both
sides, and opinionated or non-thinking dummies on both sides, with no
clear balance one way or the other. IMHO.

Actually you only qualify for one PhD, and that one is in Lying and Fabrication!

I know all of that leaves me
far behind ...

Yes indeed Fat Boy, you are terribly far behind! Good luck catching up!

You're very hostile N8. Did your parents divorce early on in your
childhood?

No. Like Bryant, you are incorrect!

It boggles the mind!
