Members cassadine1991 Posted June 14, 2017 Members Share Posted June 14, 2017 Great, now democrats (mostly Bernie Bros against everyone else) are at each other's throats again because the shooter helped campaign for Bernie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 14, 2017 Members Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) I find myself thinking this fairly frequently. I grew up admiring people in academia and there weren't any nut jobs at my undergrad college, but there are some nuts out there, often at bigger schools where they can fly under the radar. It took me too long to realize people can be book smart and still totally off the rails. Edited June 14, 2017 by Juliajms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 14, 2017 Members Share Posted June 14, 2017 This kind of crackpottery was ALWAYS out there. My father worked with the space program. I can't tell you how many times he held his tongue when dealing with someone who thought the moon landing was faked. Unfortunately the internet has been an incubator for this kind of thing. People can create a whole world where their delusions are reflected back to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 14, 2017 Members Share Posted June 14, 2017 ^ It was always out there, but I always expect them to be idiots and they aren't. Ben Carson is the most famous recent example. I just don't get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 14, 2017 Members Share Posted June 14, 2017 It is scary when you think of the reality that some of these people are teaching people in classrooms or are in positions of authority. Speaking of the reality of people in authority, take a gander at these statistics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted June 14, 2017 Members Share Posted June 14, 2017 Sanders rhetoric during the primary campaign was very concerning. Calling for revolution can spark the wrong thoughts in some people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fevuh Posted June 15, 2017 Members Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) I had a professor that was a Harvard grad and doctorate and he was certifiable. It took me a whole semester to figure out - he's not just making mistakes in lectures, just to see if someone notices and dares to correct him...he's really screwing up. I had gotten 2 A's on exams during the Semester, and then on the Final I "failed", and I got a C in the class. Many of the questions were the same as on the 2 smaller exams, and I answered them the same way - on the Final he wrecked me on everything. I went to the department chair and got it overturned. Someone told me - he favors the students who he's an advisor to - if he's not your advisor he will ensure the best you get will be a C or lucky - a B. That proved to me - crazy is out there and so is unfairness. Edited June 15, 2017 by Fevuh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
