@darththeo : Drop Outs Bill Gates Richard Branson Steve Jobs Henry Ford Simon Cowell Howard Hughes Ted Turner Asa Candler Walt Disney you need to break out of those 4 walls... school can damage your brain ... its obvious it has damaged yours ...
@OppressedAnarchist Just because you are famous doesn't make you a genius (and none of those people I consider to be genius, the only one in the ball park is Ford ... try again. School may have "damage" my brain, but at least I know the difference between "Famous" and "Genius" And FYI, many of those people have significant education and dropped out for reason other than school being damaging.
@OppressedAnarchist Apparently, you don't get it because nothing I said implied that. For example, Einstein was a genius and he got POOR grades in school in math because he thought differently than he was taught. Genius is the way you think, not what you do. It is not determined by your actions, outside of your thoughts. None of who you listed were geniuses ... especially Simon Cowell. School to me is a source for information, nothing more.
Great rhetoric. I am not a liberal, and I agree with Mr Crowder that collages have the political agenda to uphold, so I disagree with you annalysis. :-) (But kudos for you for the thorough response/rhetoric. It made me think a little bit, but not enough to compel me to the point of changing my view.) Good job. :-)
Conservatives can be reasonable. :-P (And generally are.)
People have to think if steven crowder is an actor or hes really that ignorant. If you watched a few of his videos, it sounds like hes acting. I wonder how much money a person gets acting in propaganda videos like the ones he stars in?
@CecilCollins34 If by agenda you mean teaching chemistry, math, engineering and programming, sure. They absolutely promote these agendas in all the classes I attend!
@CecilCollins34 Yeah I haven't really come into contact with that. Speaking honestly, I haven't seen it, but then again, there isn't much room for personal views on history or politics in a calculus class or C programming class.
@syn010110 I am sure you had to take at least one or two classes in those....but then again you wouldn't see the bias with a Computer Science or Computer Engineering Major. I majored in Political Science/Criminal Justice so maybe I should of said History and Political professors instead of all professors.
@sleeze4u Yeah for sure, some people get a bit pompus about university but people get popus abotu a lot of things. In NZ you get your licence when your 15, I remember the kids that dropped out of highschool to do an apprenticeship and were earning money and bought cars when the rest of us were 15-17 still goign to highschool, too poor to do anything let alone buy cars, some of them were pompus assholes too
The only comment I can make on this video is that while I don't believe colleges make people dumber, it does give a sense of importance to those that go. Generally my peers think they know the ways of the world, and how the real world is simply because they have gone to college. This in turn sets them up for a great disappointment when they get into the "real world." They realize that everything is not as cut and dry as it seems, and that they aren't "special."
"discouraging a potential genius from following a path that will lead them to doing something great"
This single closing statement proves your stupidity
There are no 'potential geniuses'. Unless they were aborted. Intelligence is most likely genetic. Not to mention the only colleges that offer any real success are generally private, specialized, trade and technical schools. But even then it is the license that is important. College is nothing more than the piece of paper framed on your wall.
Maybe so but this still doesn't negate the fact that universities turn out a certain type of mentality. It's a well known fact that many, if not most, college professors promote Marxism and hate their own country. And there is no one more stupid than today's socialist Obama voters.
The fact is, modern conservatives are always in the right. Even if they all make stupid mistakes in judgement or journalism they are still on the right side of history. So the liberals make spite videos like these.
Lets face facts both sides have extremists. Extremist are basically biased idiots. THEN we have democrats and republicans, They may understand the each others side of view but it's their job to make each other look bad. Both sides do it but it's a simple fact of life, deal with it and chose the lesser of the two evils.
An interesting attack, but do you deny that colleges and universities have become leftist indoctrination zones? Even if his methodology is flawed it does not disprove his point.
Your comment is fallacious. My ability to prove something has absolutely nothing to do with whether it is true or not. Plus, being against leftist indoctrination is not the same thing as being anti-education. I would be more interested in your opinion if you didn't demonstrate such poor critical thinking skills.
How can someone be indoctrinated to be an athiest anyhow? Athiests have no beleif in the supernatural. A person who was religious ends up disbeleiving their religion if they find they can't find adequet justification for a religious beleif. Hardly indoctrination since the person chooses to leave the faith of their own free will. And I happen to be christian, so your statement is ridiculously fucking stupid.
Did you read my comment before replying? I said that college indoctrinates people to be liberals. Why you went on a rant about atheism is beyond me. Also, using the f-word while proclaiming your Christianity was quite amusing. Finally, "i" before "e," except after "c," or in the word "atheist."
Ok, minor mistake on my part with the athest bit. That aside, my point still stands. How are colleges "liberal indoctrination centers"? How does one become indoctrinated to be a liberal? Isn't the root word of liberal "Liberty"? I hardly see why it's bad to be a liberal, given that liberals, according to political terminology are SUPPOSED to be smart, as well as concerned for the well-being of the common man.
First off, you need to accept the idea that people CAN be indoctrinated, especially if they only get to hear one side of the argument. University professors use ridicule, intimidation, and bad grades as weapons against students who disagree with them. They even intimidate other professors, who cannot get tenure or promotions if they do not play along. The faculties at the vast majority of universities are 80-90% liberals.
I DO know people are indoctrinated. Fundamentalist christians, and the lies told by O' Reilly, Beck, and the rest of Fox Noise are perfect examples. As for your "Evil professors", never once in my whole life have I heard anything like that. Did you take Ben Stein's absurd bullshit movie, Expelled, as fact?
So what you are saying is that anyone who agrees with you made a reasoned decision and anyone who disagrees with you was indoctrinated? Are there any conservatives who simply have a different viewpoint from yours?
You never have to watch Fox News. But a university education can make the difference of about a million dollars in lifetime income. There are so many important careers that require higher education. Yet profs use their position to impose their politics.
I've met conservatives who are actually smart people, so yes, I know people who simply have different ideas than my own. They just aren't moronic douchebags like the Teabaggers.
When I was in college, I was told that I could not use the word "mankind" because it was sexist. I was told that minorities could not be racist, only whites. I was even accused of racism for opposing illegal immigration, even though I am in favour if increasing legal immigration.
Speech codes exist, and they are imposed and enforced by liberals. You are a liberal, so liberal profs would just seem normal to you. But try being a conservative and see how they treat you.
And I use the term mankind because I'm not sexist, it reffers to the literal translation of the human species. Homo Sapiens is a member of the homonidea group. Hominid means man. Knowledge from "Liberal indoctrination centers" is a treasure for this nation.
Conservatives by contrast are also supposed to be good guys as well. Traditional, good with money, ect. But for the last thirty years conservatives have been acting like idiots.
There are a lot of Republicans who call themselves conservatives but govern like liberals. George W. Bush and the Republican congress spent far too much money. That is why the Tea Party started: to force Republicans to either govern like conservatives or get voted out of office.
To really understand the distinction between left and right, check out the works of Thomas Sowell. He has some outstanding columns online. His masterpiece "A Conflict of Visions" is a must-read.
The Tea Party is far from a anti-tax movement, it's an anti-intellectual, anti-freedom, anti-ANYTHING movement that has been manipulated by neo-cons such as those running Fox Noise as well as the GOP.
I notice that you engage in poisoning the well a lot. Anything said by a conservative is just lies and BS. Have you ever watched Fox News for more than 10 minutes, or read a conservative book? Who are you to say what the Tea Party believes in? Do you think that the members don't know what they believe?
A recent poll found that Tea Party members are actually well educated ht tp ://ww w.nytimes. com/2010/04/15/us/politics/15poll.html
I have watched enough Fox to know they are lying. I noticed it years ago when the war started. I looked into it and saw Fox is a propoganda network not a news organization. They bait the tea party to act like maniacs, this lead to Glen Beck getting a man to shoot three cops because he was deluded to beleive the government was after his guns. O' Reilly convinced a man to kill a doctor over abortions. They try to deny it, but they do a terrible job.
@dragknuckle Don't you know you have to spend money to get money? I agree, bush spent too much and in all the wrong places too. I have argued with republicans before, and I understand their point of view. They believe in giving money to the rich to create jobs, no? Us democrats see that republicans are sometimes wrong; The rich actually move away to places like India because labor costs less.
I do not believe in giving anything to the rich. I believe in letting them keep most of what they earn. I opposed the bailouts and corporate welfare such as subsidies.
Private investors create wealth. Government consumes it. There are many legitimate functions of government, but investment can only be done effectively by private actors who assess the risks and benefits and place their own capital on the line.
Surely colleges are exactly where we want ignorant people to go or is the argument that we should maximise ignorance.
If you are a success in your society then surely its in your interest to keep the infrastructure and maintain the social texture, after all how do you maintain your wealth if the consumers you are a parasite on are not in a position to access your good sand services. If your doing well pay your way and stop expecting the poor to shoulder the burden of your success!
"Is it any surprise that an establishment which replies on a constant stream of federal funding would be incentivised to promote liberal or socialist ideology?"
Well, see, that's the funny thing. A 2004 report on the United States and each of their respective federal tax income paid compared to federal income taxes used showed that over two thirds of states paying more taxes than spending received voted for Gore and over two thirds of states paying less voted for Bush.
Ray Comfort uses the same tactic. Go out on the street, ask a bunch of laypeople questions on a particular topic about which they have no expertise, compile the worst answers and use it as an excuse to justify an extremist religious / political opinion. As dishonesty goes it's right up there with quote mining.
Try this on any population group and you will get the same result. This is kind of thing is a fault of sample size. Any time you take polls you mus have a sufficiently large and diverse sample size or you will draw incorrect conclusions.
As for Crowder, if he is so big on insulting colleges and universities, he might try going to one and experience it for himself. In the process he might even take and statistics and polling class to avoid making the same mistake again.
OK, Yes colleges are more focused on delivering their points of view and keeping funding rather than teaching their subjects and whatnot.... Yes, they are mainly liberal viewpoints. I did an interview like this with some friends at the local JC... and well... the answers to our questions (who is the VP,Commander in Chief, General in charge of the Afghanistan war, etc etc.) were full of retarded idk's and 'do you think you are better than us' It was just insanity... I'm with Crowder here
"who is the VP,Commander in Chief, General in charge of the Afghanistan war, etc etc"
Fascinating...and which major did you think should be teaching current events?
Ohhh, that right...none of them. That is an intellectual curiosity that the parents & their PUBLIC school education would be responsible for
Going to college does not magically imbue you with knowledge of 'all things important.' College teaches you about specific subjects & (hopefully) how to think critically
@InsanityCap Just because you know a little bit about politics does not make you as good as a college graduate. Your just mad because you could not get into a college. If you did you would not be spouting off your down right ignorance. Most college student just try to get through the basic subjects so they can get to the subjects they love. A computer science major only cares about programing and yes they too are smarter and make more money than you.
@InsanityCap I know many people that used the military to get into college and they did it so they could better themselves. My step brother is a recruiter and he tells all his recruits if they can go to college go and if they still want to join go for it. If they can't go to college join the military so they can go. Again yes you are ignorant because you have no idea what goes on in a college setting. Take a few classes you will be better for it and it's free because your military.
@soulhunter59 I have taken college courses, at the JC I went to no less for the interview. I know basic college experience, class schedules and what not... it doesn't impress, sad to say
@InsanityCap Depends on the department. The English and Criminal Justice Departments at the university I attended was filled to the gills with professors sympathetic to liberal causes whereas the Political Science, Finance, and Public Administration Depts were heavily Conservative leaning. It really depends upon the inclination that the Liberal or Conservative professor's worldview is geared towards.
YES, this clown DOES want to discourage geniuses from doing great things. He wants a theocrat-corporatocracy. That's what these people want, and why they should be fought tooth and nail.
College helps broaden your point of view....it won't make you a genius but it will force you to look at old information in a new light. If that is all it achieves it is worth the money and time. Not everything is intended to give you a functional skill to be utilized by the corporatocracy. That is what conservatives fear the most.....somebody might have a different idea that leads their thinking down a different road that Palin or Beck thought.
While you're right about his method of "interviewing." Doesn't he make a valid point, that schools are less concerned with educating our students and more concerned with mantaining funding?
Undergraduate education doesn't teach you 'everything' (eg which party Lincoln was in), it teaches you critical thinking, it teaches you research, it teaches you some basic fundamentals of your major but does not make you an expert of any kind
It is truly ignorant to believe 8 semesters of classes are gonna implant everything important there is to know in your head. That is not even what they are trying to do.
Of course, our higher educational system is still failing us more every year
As much as I hate to agree with a fuckwad like Crowder on something... The education we have is far from encouraging intellectualism.
This is called the "Prussian school of education". It's intent is far from education, and that's why it rarely achieves it.
It's not hard to structure an educational institution in a way that facilitates learning, and few first-world countries utilize it - UK for instance - whereas others - like US - embrace the opposite to n-th degree.
Since when do universities "protect you from idiocy"? Last time I checked, they offer the opportunity to learn, but if you don't take advantage of it, you can be just as stupid when you leave as you were when you went in. College is an educational opportunity, not a protector.
When I think of college, I think of relaxed and grunge. It's hard to say for sure, but this just tells me one thing. College doesn't make a difference. Sure, Hawking and Einstein went through the college (Physics helps when you got collective minds and different POV). I highly doubt, though, that college created these men. College for the large majority is job training with a cafeteria. I respect the knowledge in those halls... just it's not always used. Professors know this. It's about passion.
That's. EASY: The best was so far Bill Clinton, but Obama might turn out to have been the best. Number 3 is JFK and number 4: FDR. Lincoln was number 5.: )
The original video was better. This guy who is trying to counter should develop his own material to prove his point. He is like a typical MEDIA LEACH who cant be original like Crowder and who just opens his mouth to comment on other people's work. LAME!!! Plus the point that Lincoln was a "wig" at one time, is not relevant to the question. This edited and BORING video was totally lame.
"Troll attempt"? That is so clever. I bet you thought about that one all afternoon. When you graduate the fourth grade, hit me back with an opinion that doesn't make you look like a total retard.
Crowder's problem aside from his ahem weak material is that he wishes to lecture people on politics when he doesnt actually understand the subject very well himself. If you're well read on the subject it's painfully clear how outgunned he is regardless of political alignment.
It's like asking your 5 year old son to fix your plumbing becouse he has a fisher price set.
How is this anti-intellectualism? Questioning things and learning is one thing: learning how to be an idiot is another. The people he interviewed clearly didn't know any relevant facts as answers to his questions.
It is called editing! He made the video, then edited it so that it would fit his agenda. He jump from clip to clip, and anyone with intelligent answers, that he could not edit to make look ignorant, he left out.
It is the oldest trick in the book and can be used on anyone. And lets face it. The people that agree with him, did so before ever seeing the vid. What are the ratting for that vid? Low!
@4me2cclearly I realize it is edited. That having been said, intellectualism and liberal universities have little to do with one another. Is Steven Crowder against people being smart? No. Is he against a liberal agenda pushed in colleges? Yes. Pointing out that he is biased against college-learned liberalism isn't the same thing as being biased against intellectualism.
@vedinthorn What you fail to grads is liberalism is the natural outcome of education. The more you know, the more likely you are to be liberal or progressive.
@jymbo1969 I think you meant 'grasp', but I disagree what with myself and most of my friends from college who all graduated are among the most conservative people. I know I am, but that's because my degree was in business: the business department has little time for ideals with trying to make money.
@vedinthorn yes grasp... a typo. But your background is atypical of universities. The more one learns about the world, the more one tends to be progressive. But we are talking about trends, not universalities. Those who enter into the business world are seeking the most profit for the least expense. Ie. Business. The business world is not reality. I'm assuming an Ayn Rand conservative?
@jymbo1969 Ayn Rand makes some good points, but goes out into space a few times with her ideas imo. I'm just a firm believer in the idea that, "The system with the maximum good potential is the most good system, and it also must include the maximum evil potential as well." I.E. forced charity isn't good at all, incentivised charity is slightly better, and charity with no incentive is the best, but also could lead to no one being charitable.
Conservatives who believe the earth is 6,000 years old and the sun orbits the earth.....PLEASE drop out of college as you're always threatening to. There will then be less competition with me on the job market. You can always get a job as a preacher after you get your PhD in Ministry from a non-accredited diploma mill, err, I mean university. If you don't want to be a preacher you can go work at one of those businesses with a fish symbol on it.
@TheIntolerantAtheist Creationists do exist, but none of them think the sun orbits the Earth. Propitiating a false stereotype isn't one of the trademarks ( or isn't supposed to be anyway) of an honest intellectual. Also, many seminaries are accredited. Also, though it doesn't make the view true, there are people with PhDs in physical sciences who are Creationists, though they are an extreme minority. Well, my job of correcting over simplicity is done for the time being.
How else can conservatives react to the correlation between higher education and liberalism? Either their point of view doesn't hold up to learned rigor, or education is somehow indoctrinating people. They won't admit the former of course.
My own experience was quite the opposite though. My political science professor was so far on the right, it got weird at times. He just couldn't maintain any ideological insensitivity to the material he taught us.
I just looked through these comments how about we say Fuck the parties. Our political system is so broken we need a good old invading so we can get our shit together and start voting on our own oppinions rather than blindly following a group. I am not to involved in politics not involving science and religion being used in schools but i still know enough to know our political system is in the shit. Democrats yell and scream about one thing and then Republicans yell and scream. (goes other way to
Steven was actually trying to expose the misguided education that goes on in many of these schools, he wasn't specifically saying that going to college will make you an idiot, which if I may say so myself, is a little far fetched for you to say. I will admit, however, that you do have a point where Crowder goes too far and picks and chooses. I still that it's an interesting video.
Favorite President I can understand the pause there have been 44 presidents and some of them have been truly inspirational. I find it amusing that Crowder would treat a guy who really seemed to be thinking about the question like he was an idiot, because he decided to think before he spoke completely contrary to Crowder which is to speak without a thought to be had.
For the record Theodore Roosevelt TRUST BUSTER! *que modified ghost busters theme*
"Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of facts." -- Henry B. Adams. learn something. archive.org
I had forgot all about this assclown's user name, so I ended up actually 'watching' one of his videos (one just entitled Detroit in ruins) for about the five or so sentences before I had the desperate urge to yell at him (fruitless I know) for being such a fuckhead: He was saying Detroit's ruin is pretty much the fault of Democrats alone... Riiiiiiigggghhhhht.
@wakcedout I am sure he did ask a bunch of people with great answers, he doesn't care about the accuracy though. also if you ask science majors about history and law, what the fuck do you expect? Would he be able to explain Brownian motion to them? Fucking logical fallacy committing dickhead.
All he shows is their tuition, as if that is the measure of their intelligence in ANY WAY.
@DawnOfEos not sure if that is just agreeing on a point or ranting on how dumb this was of him only showing the dumbest responses to his question, but the guy who was going around asking was doing it in a very deceptive way to try and make himself feel and look better than others in college i guess he flunked out and needed a motivation boost. i didnt make it through any serious college but what he was doing is just damn (insert word of your choice lol).
It is also my experience that a great many college students are being taught something other than recorded history particularly as it deals with New World issues. Typical is what I call "stacking". An example of stacking is rape stats. One person says, "There were 10 rapes last year." Another figures they are under reported and says , "10 - 20 rapes" and the next starts at 20 until you have "as many as 1000 rapes".
One objection so far. Despite it being a 1994-2004 law, it's an ongoing issue and it's reasonable to assume that a college student and voter has an opinion on gun control and the Second Amendment. It's also reasonable to assume that the majority of students at UCB would favor gun control without really knowing what they are talking about. I base this in my personal experience on Democratic Underground.
Hmmm... I wonder if the designer of the camera...the software he used, the clothes he's wearing and the people who taught him the fucking alphabet were college students at one point?
Haven't these right-wingers ever considered the possibility that most university professors and students are liberal because it's closer to the side of reason and reality? After all, liberals aren't the ones who think "God did it!" is the best and most useful scientific explanation for everything. Liberals aren't the ones who think trivial, harmless things such as homosexuality are "immoral". It's not the liberals who think Hitler would've voted for Obama.
Well, Obama doesn't support eugenics, he has never suggested socialized health care, he has cut taxes for most Americans, and your first amendment is still in tact. So, I'm not sure where the connection to Hitler lies.
Your mistake is that you've confused a public option with socialized health care. They are not the same thing. And if you don't know about the tax cuts, then you haven't been paying attention to the news because it's part of the stimulus.
Actually, no, JRooster. I don't even like Obama that much, but I can at least be fair to the guy.
I know that it's easier for you to believe in a world where everybody who you disagree with politically fits into one "progressive" box, but sorry, the world doesn't work like that.
@JRooster101 How was Hitler a progressive? True he did give free health care to veterans, but we do that too. Hitler was against secular education. He was in favor of genocide. He was against production of new energy sources. He was in favor of invading other countries. Face it, Hitler wasn't a progressive at all. You would have better luck comparing Obama to Stalin, and even then the comparison is thin at best. I personally think Obama is a pussy and should have gone farther with HC.
@JRooster101 To persist in arguing partisan rhetoric in order to scandalize "progressives" at this time in our nations development is laughable, and quite frankly, pathetic. As long as we're "supposing" things about one another, I suppose you're a religious conservative who wan't to bring back the dark ages, and to employ libertarian policies to do it. Good luck down at the company store with that BS.
Yeah, it's Reagan's 11th commandment. I'm sure you can just to a Google search for it. If you're having trouble finding it, let me know and I'll PM you a link.
And yes, I'm not a fan of the patriot act either.
Considering it was coined by a third party, Gaylord Parkinson, and was never officially endorsed or repeated (in an official capacity) by Reagan himself I have trouble taking it seriously.
Also, as far as I am concerned, the 1st Amendment covers that pretty well.
I got the info from wikipedia, and that alone makes me skeptical of it's true intention.
@JRooster101 LMAO! Bush is a progressive? Don't make me laugh so hard mate. Bush was an authoritarian rightist. I don't have a problem with rightists: economic policy doesn't dictate whether you'll make the Patriot Act, SOCIAL policy does. Bush was authoritarian, like almost all politicians in America. That's what caused most of his social problems. To call him a progressive is fucking absurd. Have you ever talked to a progressive in your life?
Reagan put the U.S into debt on his ruthless quest to bring the world inches from nuclear winter. He lied about the USSR and when it finally collapsed he claimed all the credit. If that wasn't enough, he viciously attacked liberals helped to cause the horrible political divide we have today.
@JRooster101 Those Berkley Libtards gave you the computer your using to make your point... would you prefer to be living in a cave banging two rocks together to make fire?
@JRooster101 well... Email, Unix, BSD, Arpanet, The first apple (invented by steve wozniak) were all products of Berkley... should I go on... or have you had enough!
Wozniak dropped out of Berkeley to work on Apple with Jobs. If that's your proof that they are "products" of Berkeley you are misguided at least.
Besides, Berkeley professors are the problem, they give no opposing viewpoints and are totally ideological.
I for one would have loved to get my BS at UCB, I just can't afford it. I would NEVER want to take a poli sci class there though. They might brainwash me like they did the rest of generation x.
ahh I see a disgruntled ex student... well that would explain it... wozniak completed his B.S. in engineering in UCB in 1987 a true 'liberal idiot' obviously... and all he gave the world was the personal computer....
Which as I said you are using the ancestor of to type inane responses! now please STFU
I'm IRISH not English... y'know if we wait long enough... and you were to agree to a fucking brain transplant... and it was carefully done... would you say you might get something right?
so in fairness... since you DIDN'T know that... and I did prove you wrong shut the fuck up you idiot before you make yourself look more of a cabbage than you already are! pwned!
Look you are wrong... patently so.... and each comment you make sort of supports that.... If you'd managed to stay in college you might have learned to think critically before opening your mouth.
Trolls have troll accounts... trolls certainly never put up any vids themselves... and if we are looking for trolls here cabbage boy...take a look at the guy shaving in the mirror!
Assuming that you shave more than once a week for each hair kid!
Right on with this video. Nobody should make a political statement by trying to say that being educated is a bad thing: it gives the impression (correct in some cases) that you're afraid that getting information about a topic will lead them away from your argument.
the point of the video was more likely about not just accepting what you learn at college at face value and maybe even expanding on your courses outside class.
Why is he in college if he's already decided that the professors are lying to him and/or are less informed than he is? He should give up his seat for someone who actually wants to learn.
critical thinking. taking in information in from more than one position can help you find whether your beliefs or the concensus is true. and sometimes you can find another perception entirely. but, in the end, thinking that way will always lead to true knowledge.
@TheGreaterSatan I agree... at the very least he should recognize that if his college professors see this shit...it'll be the ice hockey championships in hell before he graduates!
"Jaywalking" is just a retarded version of Rick Mercer's "bit"... ("talking to Americans"... check it out ;)
I like you're vids... I'm subbin' =D
But I don't agree with the term "potential genius"... a genius is a genius whether he goes to Berkely or decides to work at a comic book store... you could have worded that better.
But enough "nit pikin'"... you do great work and don't let up on the peace symbol vid... it's gonna make him a "poster boy" for idiocy.
I guess education really DOES make people dumber - what with them willingly putting themselves into debt for the prospect of better employment opportunities and hence a better potential earning potential.
Hell, why stop at university! Why not stop kids going to school! Why even teach them to read? Then a true utopian age will begin... I think they had one before, cal

The only comment I can make on this video is that while I don't believe colleges make people dumber, it does give a sense of importance to those that go. Generally my peers think they know the ways of the world, and how the real world is simply because they have gone to college. This in turn sets them up for a great disappointment when they get into the "real world." They realize that everything is not as cut and dry as it seems, and that they aren't "special."

"discouraging a potential genius from following a path that will lead them to doing something great"
This single closing statement proves your stupidity
There are no 'potential geniuses'. Unless they were aborted. Intelligence is most likely genetic. Not to mention the only colleges that offer any real success are generally private, specialized, trade and technical schools. But even then it is the license that is important. College is nothing more than the piece of paper framed on your wall.

Maybe so but this still doesn't negate the fact that universities turn out a certain type of mentality. It's a well known fact that many, if not most, college professors promote Marxism and hate their own country. And there is no one more stupid than today's socialist Obama voters.
The fact is, modern conservatives are always in the right. Even if they all make stupid mistakes in judgement or journalism they are still on the right side of history. So the liberals make spite videos like these.

First off, you need to accept the idea that people CAN be indoctrinated, especially if they only get to hear one side of the argument. University professors use ridicule, intimidation, and bad grades as weapons against students who disagree with them. They even intimidate other professors, who cannot get tenure or promotions if they do not play along. The faculties at the vast majority of universities are 80-90% liberals.

It is also my experience that a great many college students are being taught something other than recorded history particularly as it deals with New World issues. Typical is what I call "stacking". An example of stacking is rape stats. One person says, "There were 10 rapes last year." Another figures they are under reported and says , "10 - 20 rapes" and the next starts at 20 until you have "as many as 1000 rapes".

One objection so far. Despite it being a 1994-2004 law, it's an ongoing issue and it's reasonable to assume that a college student and voter has an opinion on gun control and the Second Amendment.

Your mistake is that you've confused a public option with socialized health care. They are not the same thing. And if you don't know about the tax cuts, then you haven't been paying attention to the news because it's part of the stimulus.

I suppose you still blindly follow Obama like a sheeple.
Maybe Obama isn't just like Hitler, but some of the similarities in their policies are astounding.
Progressives are progressives. I can fit them all into one little box labeled:
"Scourge of the earth."
JRooster101 2 years ago
Actually, no, JRooster. I don't even like Obama that much, but I can at least be fair to the guy.
I know that it's easier for you to believe in a world where everybody who you disagree with politically fits into one "progressive" box, but sorry, the world doesn't work like that.

@JRooster101 How was Hitler a progressive? True he did give free health care to veterans, but we do that too. Hitler was against secular education. He was in favor of genocide. He was against production of new energy sources. He was in favor of invading other countries. Face it, Hitler wasn't a progressive at all. You would have better luck comparing Obama to Stalin, and even then the comparison is thin at best. I personally think Obama is a pussy and should have gone farther with HC.

@JRooster101 To persist in arguing partisan rhetoric in order to scandalize "progressives" at this time in our nations development is laughable, and quite frankly, pathetic. As long as we're "supposing" things about one another, I suppose you're a religious conservative who wan't to bring back the dark ages, and to employ libertarian policies to do it. Good luck down at the company store with that BS.

Yes because as well all know, progressives are in favor of:
- increased military spending,
- non-diplomatic foreign policy,
- invasion of other nations,
- persecution of jews, homosexuals, and other minorities,
- legislation of "morality" and abolishing of church/state separation.
Did you know Teddy Roosevelt (a progressive) was known as "America's Hitler" (before Obama came along of course).

Teddy Roosevelt, scourge
FDR, scourge
Bush, scourge
Obama, scourge
Reagan, HERO
JRooster101 2 years ago
Wait, I just learned today that Regan specifically said not to criticize Republicans. Why are you calling Bush a scourge if you love Reagan so much?
antybu86 2 years ago 5
Source please.
I don't think Reagan would have said that.
Bush is un-American, he is a progressive as well.
Patriot Act is typical progressive bs.
"The ends justify the means."
The mantra of the progressive left AND RIGHT.
JRooster101 2 years ago
Yeah, it's Reagan's 11th commandment. I'm sure you can just to a Google search for it. If you're having trouble finding it, let me know and I'll PM you a link.
And yes, I'm not a fan of the patriot act either.
antybu86 2 years ago 12
Considering it was coined by a third party, Gaylord Parkinson, and was never officially endorsed or repeated (in an official capacity) by Reagan himself I have trouble taking it seriously.
Also, as far as I am concerned, the 1st Amendment covers that pretty well.
I got the info from wikipedia, and that alone makes me skeptical of it's true intention.

@JRooster101 LMAO! Bush is a progressive? Don't make me laugh so hard mate. Bush was an authoritarian rightist. I don't have a problem with rightists: economic policy doesn't dictate whether you'll make the Patriot Act, SOCIAL policy does. Bush was authoritarian, like almost all politicians in America. That's what caused most of his social problems. To call him a progressive is fucking absurd. Have you ever talked to a progressive in your life?
Progressive =/= authoritarian.

Reagan put the U.S into debt on his ruthless quest to bring the world inches from nuclear winter. He lied about the USSR and when it finally collapsed he claimed all the credit. If that wasn't enough, he viciously attacked liberals helped to cause the horrible political divide we have today.

@JRooster101 well... Email, Unix, BSD, Arpanet, The first apple (invented by steve wozniak) were all products of Berkley... should I go on... or have you had enough!
MumblingMickey 2 years ago
Wozniak dropped out of Berkeley to work on Apple with Jobs. If that's your proof that they are "products" of Berkeley you are misguided at least.
Besides, Berkeley professors are the problem, they give no opposing viewpoints and are totally ideological.
I for one would have loved to get my BS at UCB, I just can't afford it. I would NEVER want to take a poli sci class there though. They might brainwash me like they did the rest of generation x.
JRooster101 2 years ago
ahh I see a disgruntled ex student... well that would explain it... wozniak completed his B.S. in engineering in UCB in 1987 a true 'liberal idiot' obviously... and all he gave the world was the personal computer....
Which as I said you are using the ancestor of to type inane responses! now please STFU

No, not ex-student, current student.
You must be offended though, are you a liberal idiot? Must be.

Right on with this video. Nobody should make a political statement by trying to say that being educated is a bad thing: it gives the impression (correct in some cases) that you're afraid that getting information about a topic will lead them away from your argument.

by the way, crowder is a college student.
the point of the video was more likely about not just accepting what you learn at college at face value and maybe even expanding on your courses outside class.

Why is he in college if he's already decided that the professors are lying to him and/or are less informed than he is? He should give up his seat for someone who actually wants to learn.
TheGreaterSatan 2 years ago
critical thinking. taking in information in from more than one position can help you find whether your beliefs or the concensus is true. and sometimes you can find another perception entirely. but, in the end, thinking that way will always lead to true knowledge.

@TheGreaterSatan I agree... at the very least he should recognize that if his college professors see this shit...it'll be the ice hockey championships in hell before he graduates!

But I don't agree with the term "potential genius"... a genius is a genius whether he goes to Berkely or decides to work at a comic book store... you could have worded that better.
But enough "nit pikin'"... you do great work and don't let up on the peace symbol vid... it's gonna make him a "poster boy" for idiocy.

I guess education really DOES make people dumber - what with them willingly putting themselves into debt for the prospect of better employment opportunities and hence a better potential earning potential.
Hell, why stop at university! Why not stop kids going to school! Why even teach them to read? Then a true utopian age will begin... I think they had one before, cal
