Go listen to Glenn Beck for 30 minutes. He'll give you plenty of reasons to oppose Trump for president. Sorry. He's a loon. (Glenn Beck ) A Frickin lunatic. He needs to be in a straight jacket.

Guess I'm a "loon" then as well. I have the same principles and values as Beck. And he preaches about Trump so much because he's trying to warn us of what's coming. But none of it really matters now that Cruz is out. We pretty much just gave Hillary the election. I don't think Trump would be any better than her, maybe so, but I don't see the majority of African Americans or Mexicans voting for him over her. Plus, most Cruz supporters I've spoken with say they will not vote for Trump, so it's all going to be interesting as time rolls on. Maybe they'll change their minds. Maybe not. I just hate the thought of another liberal in office |

Hillary is the scariest candidate of all.

Oija-I have been an adjunct. I do realize that good professors are worth their with in gold. Being a good teacher is WORK and didn't mean to attack you, but there are BIG problems with the college system.
Bloaded payroll will be its demise.
NFM I agree their are issues but most of them have to do with an oversized administration and not enough support for teaching a d research. I hate the adjunct system. We also accept too many people into graduate programs who may struggle to find jobs later. I am aware of the weaknesses but many of my colleagues are hard working earnest professionals. |

The college system is going to implode itself. No institution can keep all the tenured teachers on full pay (teaching 3-6 hours, if any) while having to hire other full-time teachers to teach the rest of their classes. It can't work. Hence the outrageous tuition. Now, when graduates don't get jobs and have high tuition, college may be out the window. Technical school may be the ticket.
Can you imagine tuition prices if the government pays for students to go? Colleges are not run by top business people.
Ignorance is bliss.
Currently as a professor I teach 12 hours and most semesters teach 15. I have a two course release to run our Writing Center and tutor 6 hours a week in addition to my regular load. In effect I do the same work as teaching 18 hours with some of my teaching load replaced by tutoring. The professors who teach less at universities often have very heavy research loads and must publish every 3-6 years or lose their jobs, tenure or not. Do you like the fact that open heart surgery can be done, well university research pays for those types of advances. All of these I know also teach a minimum of 9 hours still or 3 classes, even with the research load. I do not have much of a research load but a heavy teaching load. And all those 'full time' teachers hired to teach for those who may teach fewer than 15 hours are not full time at all but part-time adjuncts making less than 2000 per class. If they teach their full permitted load (3 classes one semester and 4 the next and one class in the summer ), they make a whopping 16000 a year gross, not really bringing home the bacon are they. A huge part of the problem is that people forget that EDUCATION IS NOT A BUSINESS. The problem is that colleges have hired too many business people. Used to be administrative work was done part time by the faculty. The faculty ran colleges, not just in teaching but day to day business too. It saved a hell of a lot of money and kept institutions focused on what they were there for, teaching and research to advance their communities. Instead half the staff of colleges have some type of education/business degree. They have no experience in the classroom and unfamiliar with student needs. These people pursue degrees just to avoid the classroom and make the higher administrative salaries. So we fund a ton of middle management jobs making more money than teachers. That is your problem, not your instructors. And of course it makes tons of sense to pour as much public money as possible into prisons when demographic studies show that educated people are far far less likely to commit crimes. And most of those people getting college degrees, they would be your taxpayers funding these programs. Ask and see how many of them would rather pay to feed a murderer versus helping pay for a single mom's education so she can pay taxes and support her kids.
Well if college ain't a 'racket' then explain this please.....................
A military veteran with a College Transcript of 104 Credit Hours attempts to complete a degree in mechanical/aeronautical engineering, already has twenty plus years of real world hands experience. Speaks with multiple 'military friendly' schools. All the responses are variations of the same answer............We only allow (accept ) 40-50 of your college transcript hours. You will have to 80-100 of 'OUR' credit hours to finish out the degree plan. Please explain how this is not a 'racket' to enhance the 'military friendly' school's bank account?
There are problems with execution of any number of good ideas. This policy of getting a degree requiring at least a certain minimum of hours from the institution itself is based on the idea that certain universities specialize in certain methods or theories based on the research done there. Students may even choose to go to one over the other based on that particar program's curriculum. To truly be representative of that program, one must have a certain amount of exposure to its ideas. I knew I wanted my PhD from the get go but when talking to my professors they always recommeded I get my three degrees from different places as each one would expose me to different ideas and help build my critical thinking skills. It is much like horse training; the best trainers will absorb the theories and ideas of multiple other trainers. But just going to a week long clinic does not make one truly proficient in that method. An internship of several months or years is needed too. This is not just an idea adopted by only universities. |

Now that Cruz is out, we're pretty much playing roulette with the nation- Trump versus Hillary.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I hope Hillary comes out on top. As awful and vomit-inducing as she is, she's a better candidate than Trump. And I think she will win, because as terrible as she is, most voters (I hope) don't want the next generation to inherit a scorched earth.
On a side note, even Democrats hate Hillary.
And speaking of irony, a Trump supporter says I lose credibility for mentioning Bernie? |

AND she want's to take 1000's of jobs away from the coal mine workers, she plans on shutting down all the coal mines and more coal business. So sad for the people that only know coal mining. |

Rolling J - 2016-05-02 8:30 PM Thanks Nevertoold for all the info. Now just have to find time to read it all. Love BHW...always learning something
People keep saying he doesn't have any plans, well he does and there is no way he would have time on TV to go down and list all of this info and most people really don't care anyway..
Obama got elected because he was black and tried to act cool..LOL
I agree 100%. I half joke the first person I hear say "I am voting for Hillary because she is a woman" I going be in the county jail for slapping the sh** out of them 
You're going to have to stand in line because I'll be in front of you to slap them! |

Location: Some where I haven't left yet | The other thing to consider is that the next president will probably be seating more than one Supreme Court Judge. SO, if Hillary gets in (Heaven forbid).... There goes the second amendment. The question is what else will she do? How many others will she kill? We would lose even more credibility with many countries simply due to the culture and view of women in the prevailing culture. I'm not sold on Trump, I like some of what he says but (BUT) what will he acctually do? How will he handle the high presure of the position? He's a businessman so I know he can negotiate. I'm not sure that Trump want's to restrict our rights near as much as Hillary wants to. I prefer Trumps Tax plan over Hillary's hands down. Eek. This election is very scary for me  |

At least the people you talk to are going to take the time to vote, so many I know like, dislike, argue, but have never in their lives taken the time to go to the polls.

It is very scary. I have a friend that is saying deployment is on the horizon and it is all based on who wins the election. I am scared for him at the moment, just the thought of Killary going into office scares me for him! |
