Another idiotic response meant to be insulting from such a supposedly well educated person, wow! Pathetic. Partaker, you would have been made the whipping boy if you had attended an all-boys boarding school. Your wit is severely lacking. Well you have a very strange sense of humour, but maybe if I had been ticked I might have laughed.  |

Well you have a very strange sense of humour, but maybe if I had been ticked I might have laughed. Why WOULD you laugh? It would ruin the joke. Haven't you figured out that you are the straight-man* in this routine? * don't bother with a homosexual joke, it's too obvious. |

How is it possible to have a rational discourse with someone who refuses to accept the Gospels as being more important than 2x2 'doctrine'? I would suggest using the same method that you would use when discussing the gospels with someone who considers them to be facts rather than collected beliefs. You need to approach the discussion on the terms they are willing to support. There are many aspects of even mainstream religions that when viewed objectively make little sense and when not wrapped in belief and sacred meaning are outright ridiculous. But that is why that are called beliefs and not facts and arguing about the correctness or incorrectness of another's beliefs make little sense. |

Partaker, the only EXPOSING you're able to achieve is of your privates in public. Thanks be to God that we've been spared that sight. Another idiotic response meant to be insulting from such a supposedly well educated person, wow! Pathetic. In defense of @simpleton, I do not recall that there was ever a claim of being well educated. The claim was to multiple degrees, one of which was from an ivy league school, well, at least from a school that was attached to an ivy league university. |

Well irrational, seems like you've had a bit of trouble in the education department as well. Wharton is a school at Penn. It has never ceased being a part of Penn since the day Wharton was founded. "Attached" is also not particularly proper diction. |

"Attached" is also not particularly proper diction. You are correct - I used the wrong tense. Attached to or the school at - a fine line. |

Ok, yes I see your angle; the assumption was made by me because of the claim to multiple degrees. One would assume that the holder of so many degrees would be well educated. The lesson here is that we should never assume too much, but must pay attention to details. |

Which university was it? And what year? I can check the alumni database via my alma mater. It isn't important. The point is that you are not the only person participating on TMB with a degree from an Ivy League institution (never mind other fine institutions of higher learning). Just these past seven years or so, three Go-to-Meeting professing people have graduated from Harvard University. The one I know personally earned a degree from Harvard Business School (check the rankings). The other two earned undergraduate degrees - I believe one was in physics. And this represents only one of the eight institutions in the league, and only part of the last decade. Let me be clear: I am not fixated on the Ivy League as you seem to be, and my degree is not a big part of my identity. I mention these things only because you have written as if the school you attended and the degrees you hold set you apart from the rest of us. Like it or not, there are people who choose to go to Meetings (as well as people who have chosen to leave Meetings) who are bright, capable and accomplished. |

Diction involves the proper selection and use of words. The question is whether it is correct to say that the wharton school at upenn is attached to upenn. It is not Upenn so I am not sure how it should be designated. |

I'm accustomed to seeing the word used in the context of the spoken word rather than the written word. I stand corrected. And I blame my ignorance on the fact that, while I have multiple degrees, they are from briar-league universities and/or the various colleges attached thereto, damn them. |

Wharton is UPenn, just like all the other schools at UPenn. How do I know? Because I have a parchment from UPenn, not from Wharton. It just so happens that while UPenn is ranked about 10th, Wharton consistently ranks about #1. |

No, what sets me apart from ALL of you is that I never once joined the 2x2s. Never. You all were hoodwinked, I was not. You can never live that down. By the way, I've heard of HBS. Check the rankings. Wharton is consistently #1. Wharton is extremely hard to get into. My GMAT score was 99th percentile. I don't give two hoots about what 2x2s do education wise. The very fact that someone is a 2x2 is all I need to know to determine that the person is cognitively deficient in some manner. |

You are constantly trying to impress us with your advanced education + higher intelligence all the time bragging while belittling & insulting us.
You can deny it until hell freezes over or the sun goes nova, which ever comes first, but you did so & still do so, even in this last post!

You have made numerous sweeping and disparaging remarks against the intellectual capacity of people participating here. You have also made many remarks alluding to your supposed relative "brilliance", with references, in some cases, to your "Ivy League" degree as "evidence". This seems to matter more to you than to anyone else! Perhaps this is a way in which you have been hoodwinked! I have looked at several rankings and have yet to find Wharton listed as #1. One I saw had Wharton ranked #7. Wharton was the first business school in the U.S.. No one can take that away from you. |

It beats me as to why anybody would wish to join a forum of a bunch of people who have all been hoodwincked. It is not said that a man is supposed to be known by the company he keeps.? By association he is presumed/ deemed to be hoodwinked as well. if you cant beat them, join them, sunshine.

You have been hoodwinked all your life. You are hoodwinked even now as you read this. You are a slave. You were born into slavery and you will remain in slavery until you die. You are in a prison, a prison you cannot see. A prison built by your mind to contain your mind. For you, I am the Light, the Truth, the Way. I will lead you to the exit of the prison. I will help you to become a full person. But you must put away your pride. You must put away your envy. These things are nothing more than tricks your imprisoned mind plays on you to keep you in your prison. Release yourself. Grow into an adult. Become a full person. As you stated, I am the Sunshine. |
