@insomniajo Useful to society? Worth? Work experience? People like you give me nightmares.

@insomniajo if PhD isn't a mark of intelligence and knowledge THEN WHAT IS?!?! It is the HIGHEST academic accreditation! Have you read his PhD? How many others have you read? in what way are you even qualified to dismiss them? A toddler won't understand a PhD but does that make it worthless?
Horror movies are important, Spielberg made his break in horror (and many other directors) and they make a lot of money and influence the entire film industry and society.
What is your influence?

@Treblaine Mark Kermode is a film critic. There are lots of people who can do that, without a PhD. I don't think Mark's PhD proves his intelligence in a valuable way at all. The vast majority of the very best writers do not have a PhD. Mark got his PhD writing about horror films. How useful to society is that? A lot of PhDs are not worth the paper they are written on, and are highly pretentious. It annoys me that people with such qualifications leapfrog over those with work experience.

Paris Hilton is the son of Roger Hilton who owns a lot of hotels, called Hilton Hotels. Paris Hilton fucked a boyfriend, filmed it and the film came into public some how. Then she was big and famous with people. Kim Kardashian was the guy from a family of socialite type hollywood people, she slept with a black boyfriend, filmed it, and the film came into the public somehow. The reason these guys exist and are popular is because the USA is horny and depressed. (neil hamburger)

@insomniajo Yes.
It's not my fault you are a fool who assumes "Doctor" ALWAYS means "Medical professional".
Earning a PhD takes more than merely being intelligent, it is a matter of PROVING your intelligence in a valuable way! In this case, publishing a paper of significance and repute to be recognised by an established school of learning.

@Treblaine You make out that someone ought to be allowed to call themselves "Doctor" simply because they are smart and work hard?

If you had any idea how hard it is to get a PhD and how smart you have to be to even start getting one, you will know that the title "Doctor" is VERY well deserved.
BTW, his PhD was in English, now you go and tell an English Professor that PhDs in their subject are worthless and you'll get laughed out of his or her lecture hall.
