Chatter in the Booths

[Tarol]

And they teach some untrue things too, so...

Yeah, having your faith tested is the worst thing ever! You should be taught things you already believe, you know, spoon-fed. Can't get out of our comfort zone or think on the other side of things or anything. *is nervous just thinking about it*

[TigerShadow]

I don't think Steppy's question was answered so...What are ya'll majoring in?

*y'all

I'm majoring in Studio Art; I'll be getting either a B.A. or a B.F.A., depending on how things go. Fortunately, I tested out of most of my Gen Ed courses, and I've got a pretty good scholarship that covers most of my expenses.

Wai Wai Wai...I've been told that it can be both ways =P


That's pretty awesome that you've got a scholarship though Do you know what you want to do with your major once you've finished up college?

[Blitz]

God provides if he want you to go. Its crazy how much sometimes.

[Mandy]

@Mandy Yes and no. I think it would be so neat to go to a school with so much knowledge at your fingertips. But then, what's the use and it costs so much. And they teach some untrue things too, so...

Yeah that's how I feel about it too. Education is good but when it costs so much money... And it's not exactly like we really need it.

[Blitz]

Well actually you do. Or life experience which can take 30 years or more. Did I mention working longer hours and more extra classes? It is crazy hard to get a job already. Some jobs require education.

[Mandy]

I know. When I said we I was meaning MF and I. We probably won't be getting jobs that require a college education.

[Eleventh Doctor]

Also, I can understand the worries about cost but asking what is the use of knowledge is really dangerous.

[Pound Foolish]

It's a good question though, Good Dr.

Have fun, Belle. Or whatever it is you do earning a business degree.

I'm majoring in English and I'm going to be a writer. I kind am a writer, actually. For those of you who don't know, I'm in Clubhouse. Squee!

[Eleventh Doctor]

Is it a good question though? We should ask whether individual pieces of information and knowledge are worth having but just knowledge in general?

[Pound Foolish]

Sure, why is knowledge in general worth having? It's an interesting idea. Especially since if you try to figure out if knowledge is worth having, you are trying attain knowledge, thus presuming knowledge is worth having. So is the idea even possible to explore?

Excuse me. Would my faith be tested? No. I would always be continually "rolling my eyes." I am saying I would have better things I could be doing then listening to something I will never consider.

Also, I can understand the worries about cost but asking what is the use of knowledge is really dangerous.

If you think college is the only way you can get "knowledge," you need help. Life gives you plenty of wisdom through experiences and you can learn anything if you put your mind to it.

[Helios]

This is turning into a deba-a-a-ate....

[Eleventh Doctor]

I never said college is the only way to get knowledge. MF said "But then, what's the use?" After saying colleges have knowledge, maybe I am jumping to assumptions. But my point has never been college is the only way to get knowledge, just that saying what's the use about knowledge and learning is not good.

[Paula]

Could we move this debate to an actual debate topic?

[Miss Friendship]

Debates over. I jumped to conclusions and he clarified. Done.

[Paula]

xDDD KK I love how you worded that sentence...

[Stella C.]

*le Stella is leaving for college in a week and a half*

My pile of stuff is getting bigger AND I FINALLY GOT A TRASH CAN.

[Paula]

=ooo Everyone really is leaving for college...

YAY FOR CUSTOMIZABLE TRASH CANS

[Helios]

I'm not leaving for college (tho I prob should be).

Paula, you cannot marry SW unless he looks like Hawkeye. Just sayin'.
