I didn't do any "partying" while I was in college, each morning I would get out of bed around 3:30 am to go to work for 5 hours before going to classes after class I went home to have family time with my wife and children. Rinse and repeat.Shame, because to get a PhD, a person has to STUDY a lot for along time, give or take 5-10 years AFTER receiving their MASTERS.
If that's not enough to respect a person, hell, than I do not know... Hey. DO you respect Astronauts? Or are they just 'college educated dummies'.
Respect someone for getting an education? Well, I do respect the time and money they spent it get that education. However to respect that person just because they have a degree is ridiculous,IMO. They earn respect on how they conduct themselves and how they treat other people. I will give anyone the chance to conduct themselves in a respectful manner, if they don't do that then they are not worth my respect and will not get it because they have initials behind their name. It's about treating people right.
I guess, a lot of people here did not go to college, and hence think its ok to smash on people who did.
Maybe, just maybe, because more of us have been to college than you think we have reached a plateau of awareness that a degree sometimes only gets your foot in the door, it's what do and how you do it that matters.
Did I spend a lot on money on my education? Yes, have I seen the return on that investment? Not yet.
So, was it your money you wasted or Mom and Dad's?
Regardless, should the PhD be respected? I believe so, because that person, knows A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN YOU.
Maybe, but only about medicine. That kind of superficiality wears mighty thin. Evidently he has no clue on grace or proper decorum in a working atmosphere. He problem received "U's" on his report card for " Works well with others".
PS. If any of you guys been to college, you know its NOT all about studying, heck its 35% School, and 65% Partying, so the statement "college kids do not know how to behave socially", must be the MOST ridiculous statement I have read in my 27 years of live.
Thats all Go Cards
What if I'm neither? I call out people when they need to be called out. I hope there aren't people who never see racism. They would be lieing to themselves. I don't see whats so wrong with agreeing with the point that the driver wasn't treated respectfully, but he then reacted in a manner that was racist. I just call them like I see them.
IMO, anyone that never sees racism is in deep denial, but they do exist. I do understand not likening racism, I'm not a big fan of it myself. I just don't see the need in pointing it out all the time. I didn't see the OP as a slam against a race of people as much as a slam against one man, the Doctor in the story. With his Doctorate they should have thrown in a quick class in " How to treat people" and maybe no one would ever make fun of the way he talks. Again, IMO, the Doc in this story deserved zero respect because he showed none.
