Good luck with that law degree. The job market is great for naive 1L internships. Have fun chasing ambulances.

Lol, someone's jelly. Let me break it down to you like a child.

Firstly, the contention had nothing to do with intelligence. Rather, it was about education. But let me guess: an Ivy League school has nothing to do with education, either -- am I right? I know man, I know. You went to community college because the man wanted to keep you down. But books are just books, anyway. Ivy League doesn't mean anything. Besides, you can totally quad-kite. I get it dude. One day you're breaking out of that McDonald's. Just you wait, world. But in the mean time, do me a favor. Don't forget the ketchup.

And since you're so concerned with intelligence, let's move on to that.
http://www.psychologicalscience.org/pdf/ps/Frey.pdf

SAT scores are highly correlated with both IQ scores and general intelligence. Average SAT score among those admitted to Ivy League schools, undergrad: ~1450/1600. Average SAT score: 1016. And to address your adorable concerns about class-based advantages, the average SAT score for the highest income bracket -- households with annual income of over $200,000 -- was 1142. Meaning even your upper-class college applicants are ~ 300 points short of Ivy League averages. So yes: you need to be smart (read: very, very smart) to be accepted to an Ivy League university. This was obvious to everyone who, you know, reads -- but hey: literacy has got nothing to do with intelligence, either.

To recap: you took a thread that had nothing to do with intelligence and still managed to make yourself look like a dumbass. Keep going, pal. This is going to turn out really well for you. I can feel it.

Didn't think so.

Ivy League is a sham, you're paying for the selectiveness and prestige that is tagged on your degree upon graduation... Which makes it kind of funny since many of the top 20 schools in academia are not Ivy League schools. It's just kinda odd that you talk-up these schools with such conviction but somehow become completely oblivious to the $27 billion endowments that Harvard obtains to continue it's selective process or the "1450/1600" that it is requiring.

You're going to have to be a little more detailed in your argument. What's your point? That Ivy League degrees are mostly about the prestige? Yes -- that is correct. Which leads to greater starting salary and long-term income. In addition to the fact that the Ivy League schools provide the best undergraduate educations in the United States. Education also leads to greater starting salaries and long-term income. So it's two-fold.

And distinguishing between the top schools in the country and Ivy League schools is meaningless. They're all the same. Ivy League is shorthand. All 8 of the Ivy League schools are currently rated in the top 15 by US News. The other 8 (two schools are tied @ #15), in descending order, are: Stanford, Caltech, MIT, Duke, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and Washington University in St. Louis.

The selectivity, cost, and prestige of attending any of those schools is comparable to that of the Ivy Leagues, with some of the non-Ivies surpassing certain Ivies in all of the above: selectivity, cost, and prestige. It's not like you're paying a premium for Ivy League. You're paying a premium for the best of the best, whether or not it is Ivy League.

If you want to talk about the best public option, it's Berkeley. Which is also extremely expensive for non-California residents.

Lulz -- that guy kept talking about black people being genetically inferior to whites, too. The real question is, if whites are superior to blacks based on his "genetic research", then aren't Asians superior to whites? And if Jews are capable of dominating the world order, are they genetically superior-est?

Dominating the world has nothing to do with intelligence. It's all about collectivism, which is why you see white Americans constantly sinking in status while other ethnic groups practicing severe racial nepotism are becoming your managers and you, their slaves.

Anytime you turn on the TV, all you see is constant spam about how diversity is good. They have all these groups talking about what's in the best collective interests for Africans, Mexicans, Jews, Native Americans, etc. Guess what's missing out of this equation? White people.

They have told you that you can't be racist unless you're white and you're not allowed to look out for your own collective, self interest because that would be racist as well. Meanwhile, every other group on earth goes about business as usual doing the exact opposite.

Multiculturalism and political correctness are used as a weapon to destroy the ruling class of people that built the country. They prey on what most people consider good qualities such as empathy and use it against you as a guilt trip in order to conquer you. They conveniently leave out the part about one man's multiculturalism being another man's genocide.

This is all basic, divide and conquer strategy.
