Ding ding. Imagine getting objective feedback from peers and experts instead of your immediate family for four years?

Imagine seven years?

Imagine eleven years?

It's Conservatives whose beliefs are founded on feelings, not on objective reality. The proof is that most of them didn't go to college, so they can't possibly be founding their beliefs on something objective.

    That's why I am leery of people who live in the same small town all their lives. How can you have any reasonable perspective on others? But you go to university and meet a broad spectrum of people with diverse ideas and backgrounds and you come to realize you don't know very much yet. And you learn. That's why conservatives hate higher education and rant and rave that it indoctrinates their children away from being conservative, it is SUPPOSED to because you are being EDUCATED away from the beliefs of stupidity they hold. Because conservative beliefs are stupid.

    It's also why they rant and rave a out policing the internet. It used to be that getting out of your small town and going to ANY type of higher learning like community college or a even some trade schools was enough to grow, learn, and meet diverse groups of people. Now you don't ever have to leave your small town to learn, grow, and be presented the largest collective of diversity ever. It's sitting in the palm of your hand.
