I am speaking from personal experience. There were little to no women in the engineering department when I went to school here in the 70's and I have said I don't know why. You will need to ask the parents. My niece is a degree'd engineer and believe me, she is a rarity.

I didn't, I only completed the tenth grade, bumped into my home room teacher and he asked why I did not come back because I had led the class in the finals. Really simple, no money for university and few if any scholarships, so I went to work to help with family expenses. Many of my coworkers were degree'd but all I did was write their test and ace'd it.

Some years later the IEEE invited me to join as a full member, they said it was based on my contributions to the discipline.

You know, TJ....you were just as bad hating on Hilary during the election. You never missed an opportunity to respond in that knee jerk fashion, referring to her in derogatory terms and spreading the hate.

I know you will have some snarky reply. It galls you that a female can call you out on your shortcomings.

Snark away......

I readily admit that I hate her.

You won't find me lying about it like you do.

There is no reason why anyone should support an elected official who is an admitted sexual predator, who lies constantly, buddies up with our enemies, insults our allies and who won't own up to his mistakes.

Some of us just aren't as gullible as you, TJ.

I never lied.

Look inside, at your fantasies. That's what tells the tale. If you find yourself having fantasies of bloody violence to the target, it's hate.

Just informed dislike of Trump, in my case. Convinced and committed dislike, dislike of great largeness, but I don't catch myself thinking of making parts of him into bloody pulp....

From now on I'm gonna be Tony Soprano in my fantasies.

What does that tell you.

You like to hurt people? You admire authoritarian leaders? "Might makes right" is a core value for you?

I would rather be like Tony then those arrogant elitists assholes that turned him down for membership in their country club. That episode reminded me of how the arrogant elitist assholes on this forum look down their noses at me.

So, looking-down-the-nose is worse than having people's legs broke?

People who come from nice comfortable Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best backgrounds are never going to get those of us that grew up roughstreet.
