What’s your most controversial opinion?

[BadAmy]

Soap boxes and their inevitable use.

Amirite?

 

[MindYaBitness]

From an economics viewpoint, the phd’s are being paid what the market considers a “fair” value.

Why is it “so low”? Too many phd’s.

Why so many phd’s? For profit college devalued BS and BA. Made MS the “needed” degree.

That in turn devalues a phd. Because more people get them.

The reality is that college is a fucking racket these days. Millions of American kids are going to college and getting heavily into debt for degrees that will never return a value.

Pardon me, someone else needs the soap box.

I have no PhD, and make twice what my family members who have them. They spent 8+ years in school and either work for those colleges or for fortune 500 companies, and still have a hard time making ends meet. People that brilliant should not be struggling.

I hear and understand your point. But also, no one should be struggling.

That’s Bidenomics

Masters and Ph D. holders have been making shit since St. Ronnie of Santa Barbara was in office!

 

[Bebode]

Yeah because they study in academia rather than actual disciplines that can make money.

Teachers with Masters should make more than thrice their pay!

I disagree, although I could be wrong also depends what the masters is. If I became a maid tomorrow because I no longer wanted to do the job I do I cannot expect to be paid what I currently am, I would be paid what the job of a maid gets paid. Having a degree in mechanical engineering and working as a car salesman might mean the person is paid a bit more than those around them but probably less than working in the field of mechanical engineering. Also having a degree does not mean a person has the aptitude to be successful in their chosen profession. I work in a world where performance is rewarded and all the people I work with are good performers and therefore rewarded well.

A study back in the 90’s showed an inverse correlation between intelligence and lifetime earnings. Most geniuses don’t end up wealthy. The main reason being a healthier work life balance.

I make more than a lot of people phd’s and my overall lifetime wealth is higher because I didn’t have a humongous debt load leaving college. Most jobs don’t require a phd. My job certainly doesn’t use the MSc I have, but I needed it to get the position in the first place.

That’s Bidenomics

There’s so many things wrong with this statement. You obviously know nothing about economics and are merely flinging shit like a monkey. Piss off.

Looks being equal, women who curse and use profanity in their everyday conversation are less attractive.

YMMV, but I find them to be refreshingly open and honest.

Little bit sexist me thinks, so it's okay for a man to? I do however agree that when every sentence has a curse word it does become a bit tiresome to listen to or read a persons thoughts/ideas/response etc. I believe they can be used for impact in situations that require it, other than that I think it shows a lack of vocabulary in the spoken language.

Sort of agree, and don't differentiate between sexes. But some people just swear so well and so often that it's like part of them. Others swear a lot just to impress and often sound silly, in my opinion

 

[Tabauthor]

most women want to be blacked at least once in their life

Peeps are trash- no matter how they are flavored.

If I had differentiated between the two, then yes it would have been sexist. And for the record, men that use profanity in their everyday conversation bothers me as well. But, I only find women attractive, hence my statement that that they are less attractive than women who don't constantly curse when discussing the weather or what restaurant is good.

And yes, there is a time time and place for profanity, for both sexes.

I will gladly offer up anything of mine for you to eat..

 

[__Nathan1968]

Peeps should have the cellophane pierced and then be placed in the cupboard for 6-12 months until they get good and stale. Then they are suitable for eating. Pro tip: roll them out with a rolling pin for peep jerky.

I dated then married the daughter of a WWII Navy boatswain's mate, post war Chief. She swore more in English than I did in English, Polish, and French combined.

Her potty mouth was/is awesome in bed!

Were a Whoppers family. Peeps are trash. You can have ours as well.

Luckily for me, I don’t give a fuck what you think

You're a kitten. Kittens can curse as much as they like.
