the social sciences are generally useless outside of universities. they mostly teach moral zealotry, as exemplified by yourself and most who've been through social science departments, and little in the way of critical thinking - or even practical thinking.

Yet I work in an field where critical thinking and practical thinking are highly valued. Where did I learn those skills? Primarily at University, studying history and politics (and geography). Social Sciences teach critical thinking as does all University courses, CW. One goes to University to primarily learn how to think, not to gain knowledge as such. Roll Eyes

critical thinking isn't subject specific. it's little more than a bunch of inquiring techniques. it can be applied to history and politics but it's not intrinsically linked to those subjects. for example, learning marx isn't critical thinking. that's just memorisation. often, leftards think they're thinking critically because they can throw out a few marxist quotes here and there.

Oh come now, Misitie, you must admit that reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.

Knew of a sniper (formerly) in the ADF. He was an excellent computer programmer and a decent hacker. He is 50 years old. It is not far fetched that Brian could be a computer programmer and work in the ADF at one stage.

I dont doubt that many people are multi skilled and have had separate career or job paths, I fall into that category myself but it is simple arithmetic my friend. 10 + 25 =35. Plus whatever years spent gaining educational qualifications he presents. Plus he states he has done many other things which qualify him to claim great life experience. At one stage he claimed to speak Indonesian fluently, the problem with that claim is that another poster here is a qualified and experienced translator in said language. When challenged his claim soon descended to a barrage of posts containing juvenile icons and his refusal to accept simple facts.

I think Brian stated in the past that he was born in 1957.

Nope. Never claimed I was born in 1957. Not sure where you're getting that from... Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

While i must admit I am unfamiliar with the qualifications you have stated, I must admit tgat they appear quite comprehensive.
Shall we agree then, that our education and intellegence therefore are indisputable.
We simply have a diconnect with regard to our, different, opinions of specifics.

You do not see the world as I do, perhaps the places you have seen and the people you have met may differ from tge ones I have.

I will never agree that Islam is anything less than a very malignant and socially crippling desease on the huma race or that me and mine are in some way responsible for Australian Aboriginal problems of their own making.
But perhaps we can dispense with the name calling and insults.

This is a simple request for mutual respect, even if our opinions differ poles apart.

Sure, we can differ but until you stop your outbursts of Racism and Islamophobia and Xenophobia, Valkie our disagreement will continue to flare into dispute. There are ways of saying what you want to say in a civilised, non-Racist/non-Xenophobic/non-Islamophobic ways. Stop acting like a schoolboy and start acting like an adult. Do that I will treat you like an adult.

Then you will have to acknowledge that this CULT is nothing but an evil cult.
Its is nothing less and nothing more

Islam is a recognised religion around the world. I am unsure why Islamophobes are afraid to admit that. It's childish and silly. Roll Eyes

Lol at Walter Mitty here.

Welcome aboard, son.... you are a total asset to the Walter Mittys of this world ...

All this sounds familiar to me..... but none have managed to shake me yet in anything I say.... but you're welcome to continue trying....

Now - what are YOUR credentials that we can attack... dreamer.... your kind is very familiar online...... got any proof?

Thought not.....

One thing I have learnt in life, the people who spend the most amount of time trying to impress people with their qualifications are the biggest bulldusters.

I never claimed it was "intrinsically" linked to anything. History and Politics (and to a lesser extent Geography) were where I learnt to do it properly.

Marxism is used by multiple disciplines, it is methodology used for examining economic affects on society. Marx is apparently quite popular on Wall Street as he was the first modern philosopher who actually understood how Capitalism works.

I can throw out quotes from multiple sources, CW. The only Marx I follow is Groucho. Roll Eyes

This is typical of those of your ilk.
I offer the hand of peace and you snap it off.

Nope. Your hand is still there but you wanted it with preconditions which I was unwilling to accept, Valkie. Your Racism/Xenophobia/Islamophobia is clear to anybody who reads your stuff. Until you grow up and actually look at reality, rather than your Racist/Xenophobic/Islamophobic viewpoint, it will be impossible for us to agree on anything I suspect. Run along, your parents are calling you. Roll Eyes

Silence. Yeah - that figures..... empty words are nothing..... little catch phrases are meaningless in the absence of fact....

Get a life. Sometimes I've thought you had decent information to put across and such - but you lost me - Sonny!

Now you're mine, son...... you get to offend me once.

yeah, yeah, unarmed combat specialist as well was it?

You have obviously reached the end of your catch words and insults.
Its always easy to tell with you.
As soon as you have lost, rather than admit defeat
You simply pull out you standard "Oh shite, I need a comeback" response.
"sk, tsk, shouldn't you trot along to bed? The grown ups have things to discuss."

Perhaps you will eventually realize just how ridiculous that sounds?
Perhaps not.

Grow up my friend.
There is more to life than being a stooge for the people that play you for the fool.
The CULT, the Aboriginals play you, and you let them.

They are not victims.
They are takers.
And I'm getting sick to death of always being the giver.

If you don't like white civilization.
There are choices.
You can go to one of these backward countries and live like the primitives you seem to adore.
or you can live in civilized white society and just SUCK IT UP BUDDY.

Valkie, please stop your racism in public, it is embarrassing watching you spout bullshit all the time.

Run along now, the grown ups have things they want to discuss. Tsk, tsk.

Is that the best you can come up with.
Obviously a wasted educational program by the whites.

Really? I wonder what's the highest level of education you have achieved, Valkie? Kindergarten? Tsk, tsk. I'm sure you enjoyed your time in the playground. Roll Eyes

Im not afraid to quote my qualifications.
Toolmaker by trade.
Mechanical Engineer
Diploma of management
Diploma of project management.
Certs 3 and 4 in training and education.
Qualified in several mechanical and engineering disciplines with my favorite being fluid dynamics.

And yours??????

I have a Ba, Ba (Hons), Ma, GradDip and Doctor of Divinity Degree, Valkie. All in the Social Sciences. I have over 25 years experience in IT working as a programmer, a Desktop support engineer, a SysAdmin and a Systems Engineer. I specialise in Unix and Linux OSs and GIS.

Quote:

A Doctor of Divinity is an honorary degree.

Speaks volumes for your self righteous attitude. Roll Eyes

Quote:

Doctor of Divinity (D.D. or D.Div.; Latin: Doctor Divinitatis) is an advanced or honorary academic degree in divinity.

All depends on where you undertake and complete the degree, Gnads. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

Nothing you post on this forum makes it appear as if you have the intellect required.
