What did you achieve by the time you were 20?

I didn't realize you had such a good sense of humor! And such an overactive imagination to boot! I see big things in your future, LOL!
Hey, just because you couldn't do anything noteworthy at a young age, does not mean no one else can.
No, but the way he stated it, it is as though ALL professors are trying to impart their political leaning on to their students, and as a result, most people on a college campus are gullible, naive etc. Except for him who supposedly went to college, may or may not have been influenced by professors, but has saved himself by becoming a conservative. He may not have meant for it to sound so extreme, but it did.

Oh yea, well I graduated high school when I was 12, graduated top of the class at Yale at 14, got my Phd at Harvard at 16 and my first nobel prize at 17, got a gold medal in the olympics at 19, and have a 12" c0ck.
Seriously, how would you ever have a life? Have you ever even touched a boob?

Wow, I did not realize that graduating from college at 20 and being able to speak more than one language was grounds for genius. Is it really that unbeleivable? Either I am a lot smarter than I gave myself credit for, or you guys are really, really ordinary.

I would imagine that any professor cannot help but let some of his own personal ideolagy slip through into his teaching. Add in the fact that the majority of college professors are liberal and he has a valid point.
Young people are also more suseptible to influences from their teachers.
I have found that the more people feel the need to boast about their education or how enlightened they are the less the chance that they are either one.
Is it really that unbeleivable?

Well let's see, I assume that you are saying you graduated high school at 16 which is somewhat believable since a lot of schools probably have 1 or 2 kids that do that (though probability of a given person is unlikely). A typical 4 year degree is about 120 or so credit hours. Add to that another at least 40 credit hours for the 2nd degree and then of course the time it takes to learn 5 languages, all within 4 years...... It's not impossible I suppose but if you did, you had no life and have probably never had a girlfriend cuz of course you were quite the nerd to be so focused. Let's just say it's his highly improbable and I don't believe it. Even if it were proven to me, I would just feel sorry for you.

I have lived overseas for a large part of my life, that is how I learnt to speak five languages, and that is also why I hold a lot of the views that I do. I did not learn them all in college. As for credit hours, you forget AP classes, and CLEP tests (up to sixteen hours of credit for each test), which I took a fair amount off, enought to get me sophomore standing by the time I actually started. And I took summer school, a lot of people do. I started school early, and I skipped second grade (no great achievment), and that's the only reason why I was so young, not because I was a prodigy. And beleive me, you don't have to give up your life to do what I did.

I speak one English and its all i need to fvcking know! Oh and BTW when i was 20 i was already making over 50k a year cause i chose to bypass all the bullshit college coarses and actual learn something that i can put to use... Tech schools are GREAT! skip the bullsh!t and get straight to the point is exactly how i like it... something you should learn how to do...

If you think because you have even a single college degree that your opinion is worth more then anyone else who doesn't you're a joke. Book smart does not translate directly to intelligence. Look at Bush, he could obviously memorize whatever sh!t he had to through college and he is a fooking idiot. What you learned in college has nothing to do with the strength of your political views and your ability to debate over them. You're not supposed to be influenced into taking specific political views and the strengths that view has unless you're being brainwashed.
Any intelligent person can argue their political views validly regardless of how many degrees or what field their degrees were in. Anyone who tries to shove their education down someone elses throat to try and prove that their view is somehow more correct then another person's has committed the same fallacy as a person who has resorted to personal insult because they can't argue their pont.

And you will probably still make 50K/year 30 years from now, when 50K won't be worth $hit. Where did you go, ITT tech? VCR repair, paralegal, guaranteed job placement? Kudos, someone has to do it, better you than me. Good for you skipping college! At least now we have an explanation for why your a dumbass. Besides, if you actually read my post you would see why I mentioned it and why you don't have to be a nerd to achieve it. Of course, I'm sure education in general is irrelvant to you, so what does it matter.
