20 Ideas The US Needs To Steal From The Rest Of The World

You seemed to have heavily edited your own responses in your summary....
... fuck it dude, I don't care. It doesn't affect me (probably), and it doesn't affect you. If you don't believe me, it couldn't matter any less. I'm telling you what I've seen, what I've read, what I've been told first hand by recruiters for these companies. If you chose to not believe me, then that is your choice.
Good day

You've missed the point entirely, kids meal.
You started off botching a statement. I merely suggested you clarify.
-
Go back and reread your post I first commented on. I copied it verbatim in my summary ( the rest of *both* of our posts got some artistic license)
I know what you were trying to say, but you didn't say it. So I commented.
-
You responded to one of my first posts with
"Business majors can't learn math/quantitative skills".
You put quotes around a comment to signify it was something I said, except I didn't say that at all. Then, you felt compelled to tell me what I actually meant... because apparently you knew better than I do.
Now, after already displaying the fact you didn't know what I said or what I was talking about, you're going to tell me to go back and reread my own posts? Haha. After already taking what my comments said, and saying they meant something else? Hahaha. Right, I'm totally the one that has missed the point entirely........
Now, for real this time. Good day.

**********************************************************
Woody, you are singling out one way of using quotation marks. There are direct and indirect
uses of quotation marks. As in, quoting exactly what you said, that's DIRECT quoting,
and then paraphrasing what you said, which is INDIRECT quoting. They are both valid.
Often, when someone paraphrases what you said, (indirect quoting), they are trying to explain what
they think you meant with the words you posted, even though you meant to say something different.
Not always someone else's fault.

I'm not an English major but did you really just write this sentence, read it, think "yeah that makes sense," and then post it??It is much easier to teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major math/quantitative skills/etc)
Holy fuck.
Nope. Here is my first response, kids meal:
You still think its easier to "teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major math/quantitative skills/etc"? Business majors do nothing but "math/ quantatative skills"MLD Woody said

*That's* what I was contesting. How are you not understanding this?
Had you said "easier to teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major *STEM*" this wouldn't have been an issue.
But thank you for shedding light on the importance reading comprehension ought to still play in higher education.
-
So yes. I did know what you were trying to say, but you didn't/ couldn't. I'm right, you're wrong. Again.

Does woody ever stand behind anything he says?
It always seem misconstrued from his end and he never means what he really meant. That is of course if he stands behind anything at all. I rarely see text of how he feels about certain issues.
Other than religion sucks.
Gays are awesome.
And global warming.
Does that pretty much sum up woody?

You give him too much credit....

Hates Ohio State and thinks only arithmetic should be taught in schools.

They are good...if you cant keep them under control. I noticed you can't seem to.
-
when emotions dominate a person... and take the place of rational, logical appraisement of
reality, and is the sole mode of problem solving, it is a clear indication
that it is the innate psychological defense mechanism...
of hard core liberals.

But remember, fear is not an emotion....

I might be of some help on the matter of business/science majors learning new skills, having first done a mathematics course and then a finance masters. We had people from all backgrounds in the finance course, from chemical engineers to econ/MBAs, and as a trend (though not exclusively) the people from scientific backgrounds did better. It *is* a lot easier for someone from a STEM background to learn about debt/equity ratio, portfolio management and corporate finance than it is for someone from a pure business background to learn stochastic calculus and financial statistics.
Maybe I've slightly misinterpreted the argument here and if so I apologise, but there's my two penneth.

Anecdotal evidence time!!! Yes!!!
Okay, here's mine:
My Dental School class graduated 100 people. 80-85% were traditional biology, chemistry majors. We also had poly-sci, history, Econ, studio art (sculpture specifically- she killed it in wax carving class), graphic design, IT.
A microbiologist graduated #1 & a microbiologist graduated 100.

That's your anecdotal evidence time. When you look at a trend of a *business* school with a few thousand students over a couple of years, it becomes statistically significant.
-
And this is presumably the part where your 'anecdotal evidence' - a smaller sample from a dentistry school - is somehow more admissible than my 'anecdotal evidence' -a larger sample from a business school - on the subject of people learning business/finance from different backgrounds?
