Car Forum / Saab Cars / April 2007How do you feel about your car? Other cars? Luxury cars?
Hi, I am in grad school and am working on an assignment about cars. My group and I are conducting some research, and would love input from everyone! We have designed a survey to gather information. It is not a quick survey, but it will not take too long either :) Please help us with our research!! Check out the survey at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=135523327008 Thanks! Becca > Hi, > I am in grad school and am working on an assignment about cars. My [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks! > Becca Here's my answer: I like my car.

No, you're not, unless you go to a fake college, like the "University" of Phoenix.

The U of Phoenix has a location in the office building where I work. I think the top couple of floors maybe. When I get off work at the end the day, I swear, I see a goodly number of U of P "students" coming in for evening classes, and the group is about 99% black. All getting it paid for not by themselves I'm sure. I can't imagine that U of P provides much in the way of education from the look of most of the students coming in at this location. I think somebody's money is likely being swallowed up by U of P. > On Feb 21, 8:46 pm, "larry moe 'n curly" <larrymoencu...@my-deja.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > think > somebody's money is likely being swallowed up by U of P.

I agree, and add that the phrase "a credit to your race" may actually encourage racist thinking. IMHO, we should take no pride in what others do, just as we should take no pride in what we were born with. I didn't choose my parents, and neither did anyone else. So whether we're tall, short, black, white, yellow, etc. is nothing in which any of us should take pride. It's simply a fact of heredity. What's important is what we do with the gifts we inherited. We SHOULD take pride only in what we accomplish ourselves or something to which we actively contribute. On the other hand, we could all buy Indianapolis Colts jerseys and feel good about ourselves while shouting "we're #1!" ;) Java > On the other hand, we could all buy Indianapolis Colts jerseys and feel > good about ourselves while shouting "we're #1!" ;) Sorry, can't do that either. The NFL is rigged. They handed the championship to the Colts in the semi-finals so that their darling boy, Peyton could have a ring. Besides, how can you say "we" if you aren't even on the team?

Do you have proof to the contrary? How do you explain the series of bad calls that provided the Colts their trip to the superbowl. By the way, the officials later admitted they "blew" those calls. And yes, the Patriots would have easily handled the Bears, much like they did the Chargers and the Colts until the refs started the silly calls.

That was my point. It's saying that you're different from others of your race, because they don't usually do as you do.

You haven't been on a college campus lately.

I am glad that these individuals are taking advantage of whatever programs are being offered so that they can get an education. Something that will benefit us all. A lot of people, especially minorities, have a great deal to contribute. Unfortunately, too many didn't get an opportunity to learn in school.

One can not go to school and NOT be exposed to the opportunity to learn. They may not avail themselves to the many opportunities that are presented to them, but the opportunity is there. >> I am glad that these individuals are taking advantage of whatever >> programs are being offered so that they can get an education. Something [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > themselves to the many opportunities that are presented to them, but the > opportunity is there. It is awfully hard to take advantage of the opportunity to learn when kids are running amuck around school, and you live in a shelter and don't have a table to do homework on. >>> I am glad that these individuals are taking advantage of whatever >>> programs are being offered so that they can get an education. Something [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > are running amuck around school, and you live in a shelter and don't have > a table to do homework on. It might be difficult, but it isn't impossible. And, that's not what you said the first time. Your sentence structure made it appear that the opportunity was not presented, and that would be a fault of society or government. The point I was making is that the opportunity is always there if one has the capacity to take what is presented. To be sure, some presentations manifest themselves better than others, and that is a reflection on society or government. But, no matter the quality of the presentation, NOT taking full advantage is a reflection of the kid. Now, the kid may have issues beyond his or her control, but that isn't what you said that I responded to. >School is by definition an opportunity to learn. One can not go to school >and NOT be exposed to the opportunity to learn. They may not avail >themselves to the many opportunities that are presented to them, but the >opportunity is there. But, of course, the science courses which teach about things like evolution, and about dinosaurs roaming the Earth millions of years ago, should be disregarded as "unproven theory" (while accepting the "Adam and Eve" story on pure faith - no evidence required). >>>I am in grad school and am working on an assignment about cars. >>No, you're not, unless you go to a fake college, like the "University"of Phoenix. >The U of Phoenix has a location in the office building where I work. >I think the top couple of floors maybe.

There are quite a few radio celebrities that I have a really hard time figuring out why they matter. Imus is one. Howard and Rush too. I can understand how each would have a small niche following, but how does that propel them into the national spotlight? They are all turd balls in their own rights. Strictly my opinion, mind you...

Strictly my opinion, mind you... Stern doesn't really bother me, since he usually picks on people who should be able to take it, but the others you mentioned have manage success I can't fathom for a second.

One of my kids as well as two of my co-workers attended the University of Phoenix. They are typical of UofP students in that they were working full time and could only attend at night. The classes are generally taught by people working in the field. Classes are often broken into working groups of students who arrange among themselves to meet and produce whatever product the class demands. Having graduated many years ago from a "regular" college, it seems to me the UofP approach may be superior. Generally speaking, the students are mature, eager, volunteer learners willing to sacrifice their time and money to get a degree. Most of those attending with my son were paying their own way, being helped by their employers or getting some kind of student aid. jor "jor" ...
