Since I've shitcanned yet another liberal friend...
One of the things she said, "When I think Southern, I think Alabama, Missippi and Lousiana, who trade the lowest education rate and highest preganancy rate back and forth."
Spelling mistakes in the original, by the way.
I see she's got her money's worth from her bachelor's degree from Iowa State...
Despite the lack of education, all three states have vibrant industries ranging from textiles, steel mills, automotive assembly and ship yards.
So what if they're reproducing? Lots of that work is union work, and well paid. They can afford to have families!
But they don't have college degrees so none of that matters.
It's really ironic that she also sneered, "[S]ome Democrats are ivory-tower whiney babies too."
Maybe because I was a drafter (a non degreed profession) and worked between the degreed engineers and the non-degreed shop that I know that formal education isn't the entirety of learning.
I know three people working in computer programming who don't have bachelor's degrees, by her definition they're uneducated. Two of them live in the south too.
My dad worked for Motorola setting up chip-fabs with just an associate's in mechanical engineering, but lots and LOTS of on the job experience. But he's uneducated (and porked out five kids with two wives), so worthy of scorn.
Something I've definitely noticed from her and her friends is a total lack of understanding of people who're outside their little bubbleworld. I've definitely had to censor what I say around them, but they don't around me. They love the phrase, "agree to disagree," which near as I can tell, in practice means I have to be silent while they insult me.
I'm fed up with it.
