Using Wikipedia for sources is no different than listening to an associated professor spout off his bullshit over Inuit culture, but somehow we think that tacking the "Dr." prefix on someone makes them far more credible than anyone else, even that of an actual Inuit.

3. Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships. Training
4. Very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence. Training
5. Incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment. Training
6. Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict.
7. Persistent irritability.

Just from your post alone you exhibit characteristic(s) 1,2,4 and 7

You sure I'm the sociopath? Everyone knows my posts are theatrical in nature but it truly does seem you're irritable and aggressive with every post you make.

Perhaps one of the wiki ph.D's here could write you a few scripts?

The mothafuckin' real truth.

What's the difference between a B.S in philosophy vs. an B.A in anthropology or history? Aside from subject matter of course, we take all the same pre-reqs, a good portion of our classes cross-credit, we're in the same building 90% of the time.

Philosophy plays a big part in anthropology and vice versa, so in my view yes they hold the same weight, even on the opposing spectrum how many people are getting hired with a concentration in linguistics? Or a degree in finite math?

sexist that you can't major in men's studies. oh wait. everything else is men's studies

Alex Trebek, the President of Iran, and Ayn Rand all have philosophy degrees...

Most politicians and Lawyers have extensive concentrations in philosophy, several Federal judges and Senators have a B.S in philosophy

the President of Morgan Stanley has a philosophy degree, Bruce Bodaken CEO of blue shield is a philosophy major.

Time Warner and Paypal are run by philosophy majors

Herbert M. Allison, Jr. CEO of Fannie Mae, former President & COO of Merrill Lynch and Sheila Bair Chair of the FDIC both philosophy majors.


So in what context is the degree useless when many of those whom majored in philosophy control law, economics, politics, and business?

deakolt 08-16-2011 04:34 PM

well if you're talking about anthropology, history, shit maybe even sociology, they're all equally worthless.

An economics degree or a BS in engineering? not worthless
