I can tell you that defunding higher education is a mistake if we want to keep up with the rest of the world we need to invest more in education. I have been considering the idea of a social re-training center, where social misfits (deplorables) could come to seek guidance and repent. I thought to call it the “Career University Negativity Transfer” or CUNT for short, I thought this was fitting since I began this study on this sight. The point being it is never to late to be educated and there is always hope for you. Originally Posted by StandinStraight

your suggestion of a "re-education" camp is not a solution to restore the balance of university professors.

First you're insulting Batman and the intelligence of people here who might have a different view for their country than you and your so called intelligent idealogues you are NO SUPERHERO sir you are an ideologue, nothing more nothing less.

As Thomas Sowell (a true intelligent gentleman) said in my previous post and was the subtext of his dialogue with Peter Robinson "the vulgar pride of intellectuals". In laymens terms basically, you intellectuals (I'll take you at your word that you are part of the intelligencia, but in the context of your writings find it hard to believe) don't know what you don't know and are too stupid to admit it.

Interesting addendum:

"The name isderived from the term coined in nineteenth-century Russia to denote an intellectual elite.


The Intelligencia is a name of a fictional supervillain team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team is depicted as being made up of the smartest villains in the Marvel Universe.

Intelligencia is a collection of some of the smartest supervillains in the Marvel canon. The core group consists of the Leader, Mad Thinker, Red Ghost, Wizard, and MODOK. Doctor Doom was also a member of this group before he left. Led primarily by a joint partnership of the Leader and MODOK, the group was responsible for the creation of Red Hulk and his subsequent female counterpart Red She-Hulk as well as transforming Rick Jones into A-Bomb and Marlo Jones into the Harpy. MODOK replaced Egghead who was a member of the group before his death.[1] Red Hulk was originally a member of Intelligencia until he was betrayed and devoted his efforts to taking them down".
