I wouldn't classify myself as a "hater" given that I've voted for the man twice at this point. But I was pulling for Haley or Desantis in the primary and was disappointed in how things turned out. This is no surprise. Most politicians are survivors at any cost. Convictions, beliefs, and...

Was going to share this listing when it was still at $2,800 but figured it was going to get bid up and wasn't worth it. Didn’t realize just how high it would go...

This is a good price on an as new CLII stutzen in 9.3x62. Good luck with the sale. If I didn't already own the SM12 stutzen chambered in 9.3x62, I would jump on this!

OK, thanks. This is a debate as old as consciousness that neither side can definitively prove, so as Tanks said, it's a matter of faith (and there is nothing wrong with that). I was mostly just curious why it's surprising that sportsmen/outdoorsmen in particular are agnostic or atheists vs...

Either or both work, whatever you prefer.

70% is certainly a majority but not a "monolith" by definition.

I don't fully follow the logic here but would be curious to understand.

Oh, okay. My bad. Didn't realize that negates everything. If you're implying that banks are not "business" and/or can't be used in this conversation because it's not your preferred flavor, that's nonsense. In addition, a great deal of bankers become investors and business owners and operators...

Anecdotal of course, but given my personal experiences, I don't think I'm kidding myself. I studied liberal arts in undergrad and went to business school. Apart from two courses (financial derivatives and quantitative portfolio management), business school was a walk in the park compared to...

Liberal arts covers the humanities and fine arts, which is what most people associate with "liberal arts", but it also includes social sciences, natural sciences (biology, earth science, et al), and the formal sciences (mathematics). Even the softer edges of "liberal arts" like the humanities...

Of course. The ones who aren't and who are contemplating going in hock to receive a subpar education with no discernible path should reassess their choices. It's not society's responsibility to pay for them to study communications at DeVry University just because they think they should go to...

I actually group top-tier state schools like UVA and UMich together with top liberal arts schools, as acceptance to that tier of public school (especially as an out-of-state student) is equivalent to getting accepted to a top LAC like Williams or Brown. They have comparable acceptance rates and...

This is true, but I can promise you that McKinsey & Company, Goldman Sachs, Apple, Oracle, Yale Law School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and thousands of other employers and graduate schools do not care how many free online college classes you've taken from Harvard. That won't get you a...

In terms of placement and outcome, there's a distinction between studying what many here would consider a bullsh*t non-STEM major (English, History, Political Science, Sociology, etc.) at a no-name private college or typical state university and a top-tier/recognized liberal arts college or...
