I know some folks who came out of Country College quite smart.  And kind and sensitive and perceptive and understanding in such a way as to elevate the self-esteem of everyone around them, particularly those qualified for the "short bus."  

 

 


What is a ''Country College''? Never heard of that one,  Anything like Trump University?

Dont fret it.    The Deep South has no monopoly on fat, dumb fucks.   Just maybe more of them.

 

But if makes you feel any better - here's some in Michigan.

Vegas Todd, "country college" is just a turn of phrase referring to one who achieved success in life (not necessarily wealth or fame but possibly so) without the benefit of a college education.   Such a person was often, in fact, raised in the 'country', worked the farm alongside of parents, etc.  There would be a range of experiences, family values of hard work, faith, etc., or perhaps even a lot of hard knocks.  In fact, I'm sure you've heard someone say he graduated from the "college of hard knocks."  Sort of the same thing.

Todd is a graduate of the lying liberal college - Magna Cum Imbecile


Gotcha. In other words, ''Street Smarts''.

That's jest anudder way of sayin' we doesn't need no book larnin', a man cain larn effything he needs to know by takin' care a' the hogs and the chickens.

 

Certainly, there are people without college educations who succeed in life. But those people would go even further with an education.

 

The value of a college education isn't so much in what you learn--it's the wisdom you gain, to think analytically, to understand people, cultures, and communities different from your own, and to understand how the various strands of the human experience intertwine.

 

That's why college-educated people tend to be more liberal. They acquire perspective and compassion, and learn that small-minded hatred and prejudice are stupid and useless.

 

One illustration of that will be the nasty shit that one or more of our uneducated Trumpers will post in response to this.

The all knowing Kevin has the audacity to talk about others who post "nasty shit" - he of the sewage mouth.

I knew Stalker wouldn't be able to resist being nasty. He can't control himself.

No, Kevin, you can't control your filthy mouth.

Neither can you, David. BTW, did you ever patch the holes in your blow-up plastic trump doll? You really seem uptight lately. Better take care of that for your neighbor's cats sake.
