Why not? That's the job. To create a social mechanism/body (the family) which takes care of itself in perpetuity. We are interdependent - so we must a...
If you had a £80,000 salary, your costs would be significantly higher (and it wouldn't really be up to you). First of all, your job would very likely ...
That "substantially" doesn't mean much. It's the difference between $20K and $60-80K/yr (and even with a degree it takes 10s of years to reach that le...
That's a terrible idea. Do you imagine how many people will start going to university if tuition fees are abolished? Where will that money come from? ...
I hold an engineering degree. Learned almost 0 useful material. You go on a construction site afterwards, and don't understand anything. That's disgus...
>:O Yes, if you define education as what you learn in school (as that song does, if i remember their video correctly :P ) But you definitely need self...
Yeah, I definitely think it's not worth the money. If I knew what I know today, and I had sufficient confidence back then to refuse the peer-pressure,...
The question is mistaken - Heister is referring to university/college education - at least that's what our discussion in the other thread was about. I...
It's true we have to educate people to live better lives, but it's also true that (given current circumstances) people also have to educate themselves...
To be honest - I don't see much how a degree can help. It's just a reputation thing - reputation just decides on how much effort you need to put in to...
Yes, the poll is biased quite heavily towards people who are helped by their degrees, in my opinion. Also the question "does your current job utilise ...
This is a fake poll! Look at those answers. Where is the answer "Can't say, I'm unemployed with a university degree"? None of the answers quite match ...
I think the various forms of love have different compositions, but if we're speaking of charity/compassion then I'd say the fundamental characteristic...
Well a "child" who goes to college isn't exactly a child anymore. He should be treated like an adult. Earning money right away shouldn't be a requirem...
That may be so, but I'm not sure it follows that "love is good will". Sure, without good will, love may be impossible, but does that mean that love is...
I would comment, but if I say anything I'm afraid @"Wayfarer" and @"mcdoodle" will say that I'm paid to write it, so I'll abstain >:O >:O >:O Or shall...
Who told you that? The corrupt educational system? Of course they did! That's the basic principle of selling anything, convincing your customer (read ...
All degrees are stupid, unless you run out of toilet paper, then any degree would be quite helpful! ;) Do something useful that will help others. Ask ...
This is a very neurotic way to go about things. First of all, I think a child should be treated like a partnership - not like a slave. In a partnershi...
Let me be a necromancer for once and raise this thread from the dead. The problem with Hume is the problem that is often encountered with modern Weste...
*takes hat off* :) Yes, I respect you. You have your principles - not the same as mine, but at least you have the integrity of sticking to them - whic...
Why is a degree "supposed to land you a job"? Why do you think that? Not true. I work in web development, database management & recently online advert...
No, we don't use logic to determine what's real at all. Logic doesn't tell us ANYTHING about what's real and what's not real. Logic helps us relate di...
Words. Let's see you do that. Logical, but is it also real?! Logic alone does not move men. Logic alone does not dispel fear, nor does it give you the...
Yes maybe for two lovers, but building a family takes more than just love. It takes discipline and commitment as well, combined with singularity of pu...
And yes, actually the last time I went to the bank, I had to do the bank teller's job for him. That's the kind of service I usually get. I usually see...
No, not in the beginning at least. People at that level still take prestige though - they work at JPM while their friends work at McD's - in their loc...
He would. Just that most people who choose to work there have other reasons. Never. It is a man's duty to do as much as possible for the world and for...
I referenced working at McD's in a positive light in terms of that being your start. You wouldn't be like other McD's workers - you would actually car...
No my friend, it wasn't workaholism that destroyed them. It was their lust, greed, shamelessness and sloth - you were right in saying that those who "...
What's the point of enjoying yourself BC, you'll end up in the same grave, and it will be as if the enjoyment never existed. Rather do something (or t...
First there's nothing wrong with working as a trash collector or a McDonalds burger flipper if that's where you have to start. What's all this pursuit...
And obviously failing. Love isn't restricted to only one definition that will cover all its aspects. It seems to me that you are stuck with a theoreti...
>:O "We are not here to enjoy ourselves" - Ludwig Wittgenstein (Also, no need to shoot them. They're already shooting themselves by their terrible cho...
Opportunities abound. Seriously. But many people are not willing to put in the effort, and go through the fear, anxiety, etc. required to take the opp...
Hmmm, okay, I have felt all three. I disagree. I don't necessarily want my wife to be someone I admire. I'm looking for a few key character traits (re...
I'm not quite sure about that, it would depend on what love is. But it is clear that in order to love, you have to be a person, and in possession of b...
Has philosophy impacted your view / interaction with the Scriptures in any way? For example has reading a particular philosopher / philosophy inclined...
Yes! That's what I was thinking as well. Spinoza's definition seems accurate from the point of view of a creature. But since God must be the source of...
So the Scriptures state unequivocally that God is Love and you do not believe it? What kind of other evidence would you want that Christianity holds t...
Yes I've read quite a bit on it as well, but I'm primarily interested in what you personally think here. I'm well aware that Greek Orthodoxy is heavil...
