Yes, creation of jobs in the community is the best form of "welfare".

"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime".

Self-reliance is the key to success. This equally applies to woman or it should do.

There's a reason why Commies love university campuses; almost everything there is funded by the state and equality is pretty much achieved by denying the lower working classes a chance to ever get in, so you can enjoy life surrounded only by students and fellow academics. Real life is blocked out in that kind of utopia.

Whatever you say Turnoi. You always fail when you use an alias. Better to give up.

I didn't ask you. And I couldn't care less.

I grew up with close family members possessing multiple masters' degrees. My own family lineage, if you go up contains people who have PHD's. Being from an East Asian family from the 80's and 90's my family of origin knew a few other Asian Americans at work with Masters' Degrees or PHD's. They ranged from the sciences such as Math, Physics, and Biology to the areas of the Arts such as Economics, Marketing, and Business. There were numerous mentions of people who were of the 2nd or 3rd degree of separation by association who became doctors, which meant extensive study in various medical schools.

This, however only was used as a means to earn money to spend for self and accumulate knowledge for self advantages. Very little if any was used for altruistic means towards society. Asian Americans from my experience are the least adept at organizing activities within the community which can benefit everyone. They also do not have the courage to take action on whatever virtues they may say they believe in.

You stole my mistress turnoi from me, you old hag! Give her back

Hahaha, glad you have sense of humour.

Drag, you are aware that Kathleen is Turnoi, right?

Yes, looking back the Cunning Linguist poster definitely exercised some intelligence when dealing with all the posters compared Turnoi. However, imho what he possessed was more cunning than intelligence. I have crossed paths with people who possess real intelligence. Modern day education seems to just take it right out of folks in general.

So you have a degree. What major is your degree in? Your posts come across as rather juvenile and immature, so I could not imagine you have a degree.

How many of them have you met or do you know? Do you have a degree yourself?

Those people with PhD in chemistry, physics, astronomy etc are a different kettle of fish

Folks of this ilk often lack creativity in their minds. Often, these degrees are an indication of a lack of something in their personality.

You must have whiled away many moments blowing kisses at Turnoi, you even write like him (Folks) As for that chunk of wisdom, you just might as well say: "Often, these degrees are no indication of a lack of something in their personality." or "any animals you see munching grass in the paddock are often cows....but often not, but, sheep, geese, goats, or the cat, when he's got an iffy tummy.

He should post on "Esteemed Professor's Monthly" or something like that. Yes, he hangs around on here, well he ain't gonna find any intellectual brilliance from the left wing cafe latte sipping fools on this site, that's for sure!

Professors like T are perhaps a bit exceptional in that they are not satisfied in merely enjoying certain privileges that you have mentioned but try to spread quality education among the less privileged at no coast with a less elitarian social class of teachers, lecturers and professors in mind. This certainly also includes addressing issues of conmen and crappy businesses in education. The Alias Taffy poster is one of them. Mentioning an attitude of responsibility and adhering to a set of values in the educational sector may cause people like T to do exactly that in addition to other things. And T is not alone in this.

Slumming it with ordinary oral English FT in China types is not becoming of a professor
of Turnoi's high social and academic status/class, etc.

It's come to my attention that this site is being abused as a rich-man's-hobby and he will stop at nothing to waste our time telling us about shopping trips and purchases of expensive cameras (as an FT teaching-aid) that ordinary FT's would need to save up for years and years to afford- cameras that cost £300 odd, would you credit it! We shouldn't be surprised if the same wealthy-waster next week informs us how to teach our oral English classes Ancient Chinese, with the aid of his "a-few-available for nothing DVD's." Anyway enough of that junk!

It's my wife's day off tomorrow and I had intended to paint the woodwork 'chestnut' colour. However, I have decided that the exterior paint I have might be a health hazard. So now I have ordered a reduced-in-price can of white gloss. The wealthy-waster would no doubt have ordered a £100 tin of 'farrow and Ball' but ordinary FT's only have £10 to spare.
