College kids cough cough So all college kids are "entitled little pricks"?! I have a Masters degree and I can guarantee you I am certainly NOT an "entitled little prick". I grew up working class and my parents worked hard to get me and my siblings through school and then I and all my siblings worked jobs while attending University. People like you drive me nuts. Maybe some education would help you to be less narrow minded and understand you know a lot less than you think rather than making sweeping statements of stupidity about people trying to improve their lives. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaïs. Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm surprised that Danger Days was placed there instead of The Black Parade. I would've put Quadrophenia for The Who instead of Tommy; Tommy had the bigger impact, but it hasn't aged very well, while Quadrophenia still rocks fucking hard. I'm also kinda surprised The Downward Spiral didn't make it on there. That's mean. And although our high school system sucks, our college education is the best in the world. I will say I actually have read several British authors who agree with that. That said, I tend to agree with Ceadog more than you, so I'm not sure who's right here.

Second, I meant that I generally trust his opinion and don't have any statistics to back yours up—hence I'm refraining from taking a side, rather than supporting either of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a classic university education, or in terms of sheer reputation, you simply can't beat the British/Irish trinity of Oxford/Cambridge/Trinity.

Heather. Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sure am. I don't hate Americans, just the one's that are entitled little pricks. College kids cough cough You're just sounding like Billie Joe in the 80s. And Americans wonder why no one takes their educational system seriously. As someone who has been a student at Oxford, a university in Spain, and an American university of high quality, I can assure you that the best universities in the US are of equal caliber to the education I received at Oxford. America has excellent universities, and struggles in its secondary and elementary education because unlike most countries in the world, there is a constant flood of non-English speaking immigrants and it's a lot more challenging to educate children in a world that is almost unbelievably multicultural and whose diversity is its biggest asset as well as its biggest hurdle. There are just SO many Americans and THOUSANDS of universities. We need to keep our country running somehow. I will say the Spanish university system was a complete joke, no offense Madrid Those kids used wikipedia as their entire bibliography on research papers and passed They also threw spitballs at the professor. I was like WTF. Sorry for the totally non-GD related post. I try to avoid engaging in this stuff usually. Carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
