cuckoldmepls -> Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 8:26:26 AM)

This Professor Is A Genius [image]http://babelishere.webs.com/images/professor.jpg[/image] An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.

----------- -------------- -------------------

That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

All I can say is that if you think Obama is socialist I'd love to have a couple of bottles of what you are drinking.




Musicmystery -> RE: Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 8:40:37 AM)

Now, which college and which professor was this specifically?

Actual facts are generally useful....

I know you couldn't care less that the video you linked is nothing but a piece of disgusting racist trash that has nothing to do with the bullshit story you cut and pasted in your post, but does it concern you at all that your "anecdote" is an outright, bald-faced lie?

Bullshit

Never mind, rhetorical question. Once again - as is so often the case with you and your kind - we're left to wonder if you're deliberately lying, or just too stupid to know what you're talking about. Or some combination thereof.

And apparently proud of it to boot.

It's either allegorical or a stupid lie, depending upon perspective.

Snopes just calls it a legend.

I guess we know about Panda's perspective, now  [:D]

Yeah really. Sounds more like a psychology class.

Let's face it, there is no real college or professor in this story. Can you imagine a professor who did this NOT losing their job?

Conservatives are desperate. The Republican party spent 8 years running this country into a ditch. If Obama is successful, our two party system becomes the Democrats and the Greens. So the only chance they have is to oppose anything he tries to do, then when the next election comes along, they criticize him for not getting anything done.

All they have left are lies and policies that don't work.

Shouldn't be hard to find. All we need to do is google "professor loses job manipulating grades prove political point."

And even if it were true, it'd be "professor denied tenure/reappointment attempting to present anecdotal evidence as study."

Not to mention "presenting speculation as conclusive without demonstrating isolated causal methodology."

People with nothing else have been crying "Run! It's the Socialists!" since the late 19th century. Hasn't this crap run its course yet? Maybe a laxative? A little colon stimulus package?

Do they have that in Tshirt? Size 2X please....




Moonhead -> RE: Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 10:21:53 AM)

The notion that they'd actually give anybody stupid enough to believe Obama's a socialist tenure is a bit hard to credit as well.

Ain't it just? stef's dead righteous.




jlf1961 -> RE: Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 11:04:09 AM)

Considering I heard the story when I was in college which was long before Obama.

The way I heard it, the professor was at one of the Ivy League colleges, Yale or Harvard etc.




Moonhead -> RE: Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 11:08:36 AM)

Well, people probably thought Clinton (Bill, not his missus) was a socialist as well. A frightening thought, really.




MichiganHeadmast -> RE: Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 11:13:34 AM)

Won't be convincing to many fellow-travelers.  Best is to go to Netflix and rent the movie based on Ayn Rand's novel "We the Living," starring Alida Valli and Rosanno Brassi.

Or just get a copy of Atlas Shrugged, in paperback or audio.




Jeffff -> RE: Socialism Exposed (1/17/2010 11:17:05 AM)

Ayn Rand was a bitter cunt with a very narrow world view.
