I have a graduate degree, as do others on this site. I find it interesting ,that those who characterise higher education negativity, for the most part have not attended university. Furthermore those that feel that disagreement with faculty , is not tolerated , are sadly mistaken. Opposition opinions are not only tolerated, they are encouraged as part of the learning process. Yes, you may be asked to provide evidence to support your view. This may take the form of intensive questioning. It is.an age old educational tool called the Socratic method. This is perhaps one of the best ways to teach critical thinking in my opinion.

Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??
by minimus inas jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

Court documents reveal Watchtower's tactics in Montana child abuse case
by LevelThePlayingField inthere were numerous objections and claims that watchtower lawyers made to try and get out of being held responsible for their negligence and malice.
here’s the juicy ones:.
montana is a mandatory reporting state, but watchtower lawyers claimed that the law for reporting abuse only applies to “individuals” and they are “corporations”.

They are arrogant and feel they are above all others. How different they are from what Jesus counseled. Pay God's things to God Caesars things to Caesar.

My heroes would have.to include my brother Tom who showed me what being a man truly was. His humor always shined even when he was facing death. He showed me how love should be unconditional and encouraged me to think for myself. He provided me a prospective that was different from that of a Child raised by Jehovah's witnesses. He.led by example. I miss him dearly.

Burt Reynolds - Dead at Age 82 - Rest in Peace
by flipper inhadn't seen a thread started on this so i thought i'd start a tribute thread to one of the great actors / entertainers over the years we've enjoyed watching.
he had a wicked, dry sense of humor, especially on the johnny carson show, great acting in deliverance, so if anybody would like to share stories, you tube snippets of talk show appearances, or pieces from movies- feel free to do so !
rest in peace burt, you brought us some really cool entertainment, thanks for the memories.

Debates
by MeanMrMustard insimon,.
i heard you are working on a new forum.
based on your recent discussion with @recovering, what do you think about debate threads?

The issues Simon mentioned earlier are less likely to happen
They have tools to combat vote fixing . Some use AI to rank arguments.and to aid in moderating.A
they also have metric tools so that the debate is not just an agree disagree ranking.
A moderated debate forum has rules and the moderators are unbiased so that debates tend to be more civil

If you wish to see the site there are a many . You choose the site there are many I am willing to debate you on any of them. Below are a couple .
Your right let's take this debate elsewhere. A moderated debate forum of your choosing would be excellent place. Since I am giving you the choice of sites and not limiting them you should have no objection to the format.

Here is another Supreme court case that extends some constitutional rights to noncitizens.
Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723 (2008)
“Petitioners are aliens designated as enemy combatants and detained at the United States Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.” “Petitioners present a question not resolved by our earlier cases relating to the detention of aliens at Guantanamo: whether they have the constitutional privilege of habeas corpus”. “We hold these petitioners do have the habeas corpus privilege.” [3 – Page 9] “We hold that Art. I, §9, cl. 2, of the Constitution has full effect at Guantanamo Bay.” [3 – Page 49] “[F]or the first time, this Court holds there is […] constitutional habeas jurisdiction over aliens imprisoned by the military outside an area of de jure national sovereignty”. [3 – Pages 79-80]It looks like the constitution is applying to noncitizens outside of American borders. It is interesting to note that these individuals where not even attempting to immigrate. This makes The case for non citizens having constitutional rights even stronger. The SCOTUS is a credible authority on American law
