I go to internet cafe! I angry! I smash!  
Seriously, what’s with dropping words like this? Are you sure you went to university in the US? On a scholarship? Is there something you’re not telling us?

Aww, look at you trying to get Travis all riled up! It’s a cute, although ridiculously transparent, effort.

It’s her attitude about it, plus the fact that she’s a dumbass who probably flunked out of community college–which would explain why she hates them so much.

Not really. If I’m banned I’ll find something more productive to do.

If you make six figures, why don’t you go to college now? :dubious:

Eh. One person objected (lots of people objected to individual posts in the thread), then she got all defensive and superior about it. Also, the combination of airs of superiority with third-grade writing is like blood in the water for the SDMB sharks.

Right. That’s why you were making serious grammatical errors back when you first started posting here, and you’re still making them at the same rate now? No, I don’t think so, sorry.

Will you answer my question about whether or not you even took an English class at university? They are required at most good schools for a reason. You are an embodiment of that reason. Being able to communicate your ideas clearly is not some crazy special talent, it’s the norm for educated adults. And your poor language skills have made many of your posts all but completely unintelligible.

It’s like a Turing Test that has been created to model the Duning-Kruger effect.

Most people have more things in their life to be proud of than just their ability to go to university.

What a ridiculous post.

The better question is: why should he bother?

There are different measures of success. He considers himself successful and has never stepped foot in a 4-year university. What is with your misplace revery towards a college education?

Should multi-millionaire celebrities sit down and say “Huh. I should go to college now that I’m financially secure.”
