    It is funny that someone who is not even a graduate themselves is going around telling others they are not worthy to speak to you.

    Who cares if someone has a college degree or not? When I see you asking that question to others it is clear to me you are out of any intelligent response and seek only to discredit someone personally since you do not have the intellectual capability to challenge their words.

    By the way, wasn't Mohammad illiterate? Is your mockery of those who have not been blessed with the same educational opportunities as you have a Muslim thing or is is just you being a ignorant prick?

    Categorizing and discriminating against people is a religious thing. The hypocrisy of an uneducated moron implying he is better based on his education is more of a Muslim thing, like beating your wife and asking for respect.

    Egads... MBA's have the worst reputations for ruining businesses.

    I absolutely love this FedEx ad:

    Trying to figure out the point of starting a thread that's apparently supposed to flaunt your personal superiority over these poor uneducated Americans... while you're on an American forum trying to make money from Google Adsense and Yahoo Answers and starting multiple threads begging someone that CAN get a credit card to help you out because you cant.

    Somehow that seems to beg the question whether that suggestion of superiority is possibly based in envy.

    Calm down and quit looking for yardsticks that might measure yourself above others. The biggest challenge is to measure one's own progress against their own potential.

    Oh! :-( A very unfortunate thing to have happened. A religion that condemns education and knowledge? That is a great sin by itself!

    Its always so. A few dumb MBA's who take bad decision do cost a lot to a company. However, they end up stealing the limelight from the people who actually succeed. Maybe because, they are expected to do good - well, some do fall short.

    That said, failure of a business is never a single person's fault. :)

    A perfect analogy during the worldcup:

    That was most religions for a very long time. Now I suspect only a few christian sects and the Muslims have need to hang onto discouragement of "western" education to keep their indoctrination in place.

    BTW, I've never considered myself unfortunate. I might have been more successful as a college graduate, but then again, maybe not. I've been very fortunate in life. While I am a firm believer in continual education and improvement, if we structure our society in such a way as to allow a degree from a university be the sole determining factor in the valuation of a person's worth, we will be lost. America needs people who are skilled landscapers, tile setters, roofers, clothing makers, etc. Do we really want a country where everyone must become a banker, an attorney, or a doctor? The worth of a master tile setter is no less than the worth of a person with a post graduate degree in any field in my opinion. My neighbor, who owns his own marble and granite business, with an 8000 sqft house with an ocean view on two acres of land stands as testimony to that fact.

    Exactly what I'm trying to say, combine skill with education, and you'll get a masterpiece. :)

    Meh... I did several years of college before I dropped out for the last time and ... there were only a couple of courses where I can actually say I learned anything useful (Real Estate and Insurance). The other courses were so basic as to be a complete waste of time.

    How would a graduate degree improve the example of the Granite and Marble guy in my example above? His business already probably nets more than a couple million dollars a year, he acquired his skill as a tradesman in the only place such skills can be acquired(Practicing his trade rather than attending college). He acquired his skills as a businessman by treating his customers well. Do you think it should require a college degree to keep your business in compliance with local labor laws and tax codes? I suppose you could argue that a college degree might have helped him to grow his service business into a national chain, but had he spent the time required to get the degree associated with such talents, he would probably have never been a skilled Granite and Marble guy. Frankly, outside of free time to spend in personal growth, or targeted classes that would help in very specific and targeted areas, I have a hard time seeing how college makes this guy better at all.

    @obamanation ,
    Islam encourages education and science , If you say NO then I'm sure you haven't read anything from the religion but some quotes from Anti-Islamic sites /
    This again proves to me that you post fake information ... That doesn't help you because Muslims already know that the religion calls for science and education , Oh, you say I'm not educated ?? A BIG LOL who says to who ?

    CK, you and I need to terminate our discussion. It is causing me the feelings of guilt that come with having a battle of wits, intelligence, and yes education, with the woefully unarmed. As testimony to your status, I would cite your use of the terms "Islamic" and "Education" in the same sentence, or your reference to women as whores on a public forum, or your belief that "generalizations are always wrong". Hell, one only has to look at your replacement of the letter 'E' with the number '3' in your name to know you are wet behind the ears little punk. Why don't you come back and talk with me in a few years from now when you've graduated from your "Engineering" school and we'll see what you've learned. In the meantime, just as a friendly bit of parting advice, calling women whore's does not get you laid in western culture. You might also want to keep your Qur'anic belief that a husband has a right to beat his wife to yourself as well.

    only losers hope discussions get terminated , But I'm a kind winner though , I won't be tough so As you like .
    Well I have the rights to beat my wife (If I had ) in a chess game or any sport , why not ? just kidding

    ok let's terminate it till you get your degree aswell . Yes first verse in Quran was "read "
    and many Hadiths and verses say :
    "Seeking knowledge is obligatory on every believing man and woman "

    so don't please try to say stuff that makes me feel that all what you say is rubbish , speak with evidences .
    ok it's better to terminate the discussion with you , you took the right decision .
