Hill Billy writes: You say:No, the better educated feel better educated.That's all. Really? So educated folks don't feel sad, or lonely , or angry? Are you trying to tell me that educated people only feel one emotion, better educated? Hummm, now who is trying to deceive who here? Now you are being foolish or deliberately misinterpreting the meaning here. Which is it?

Hill Billy writes: Umm, no, I'm disagreeing with the statement. Calling bullshit so to speak. You were not disagreeing or calling bullshit, you were prevaracating.
Hill Billy writes: Are you trying to tell me that educated people only feel one emotion, better educated? If you actually wonder if this is what Dr A is trying to tell you this based on the following exchange:
Hill Billy writes: Beginning with the premise that evolutionists feel superior I was nudged into a re evaluation early in this thread. The new premise being, that the educated feel superior. Dr A writes: No, the better educated feel better educated. That's all. Then you are either foolish or deliberately misinterpreting his obvious meaning. By the way I asked my 10 year old nephew if he could understand the exchange and he could (after I explained the word 'premise'). So what's it going to be? Deliberately obtuse or not as smart as a ten year old.

Hill Billy writes: I wonder does this anti-science actually exist? Yes it does. It's also known as Right Wing Fundementalism. You're are right by the way, they should be obvious but with one breath they pray to their god and try to get the definition of science to include magic (to teach in schools no less) but yet they are quite happy to turn a blind eye to their religion when it suits them (to use high tech weapons to invade other countries). Even in the UK it is starting to happen. Special Interest Groups (I think they are called lobbyists in the US) are trying to erode science to include magic on a par with astrology and voodoo in science classes. Science classes for gods sake!

Hill Billy writes: You may or may not have noticed that I respond to different individuals individually. This individual (Dr.A) has accused me of being dishonest and attempted to bait me. Should I ignore this? Perhaps I should, but being human, I incorporate my emotions in my decision making process. Was I being a smartass? I suppose. When in Rome. Obtuse then. That's just it Hill Billy, you erode any point that you may try to make by acting in this way.

I'm getting pig sick of your constant harping on about your "tiny little mind".
If you are going to presage everything you write with:
Hill Billy writes: One day I might learn more big words. or the like then there is no point in debating with you. Debate is supposed to be an exchange in ideas. Your point seems to be to feed the enormous chip on you shoulder. Goodbye Hill Billy, your method of debate claimss another sad victim.

Hillbilly writes: Couldn't that be said about any kind of "people" ? With this sentence you blow your entire arguement out of the water: well done.

Hill Billy writes: Thank you. Do you mean my argument that evolutionists feel superior? Let's see.... if all kinds of people can and do feel superior then, um, evolutionists are people right? So then it is not inaccurate to say evolutionists feel superior. So it seems in attempting to blow my arguement ut of the water" you got all wet. What? :The following is to be read in the voice of Stewie Griffin gradually getting higher and higher and higher: You got a good line in play ground logic, there. Does play ground logic do it for you? Get a kick out of play ground logic do you? Gonna apply that logic to all kinds of stuff? Got more stuff to apply that logic too? Got a few non sequitur based evaisions going on, there? Any sign of sophomore logic? Hidding away, somewhere? Maybe all alone? Waiting to come out? So what you really should have written as your title for this rip roaring thread was: some people feel superior. Well blimey, you may just be right.

I think the point is that more educated people can make more money (in general) for themselves and the company they work for. The worker has to sell her skills and the more sort after the skills are the higher the wage (in general).
Education is often the way to aquire these skills. This will of course promote injustice, but them's the brakes. I'm never going to get a job as a steeplejack: I'm afraid of heights. Is it an injustice that I would not be able to get a job as a steeplejack? I think not. The world will always throw up people more capable than others in situations where that capability can be put to good use. The whole point of this thread is Hill Billy having a go at people he/she thinks are being snooty or using fancy words. Now if the fancy words were (to you) everyday words you would wonder what his problem is, no? Even if you did not understand such words you would likely just look them up, no? No one is saying that educated people are worth more than less well educated people in moral terms: there is no suggestion that if you had 20 people and for some reason you had to kill 10 of them that you would give them a pop quiz to see who gets the chop. The very nature of the world dictates that people who can achieve more tend to.
