You can’t fix stupid

Him saying in an extremely general sense “actually you can fix stupid (education)” and then instantly moving on to more relevant discussion is taking it way too seriously? It was a throwaway line that YOUR boy (since we’re assigning each other boys for some reason) took as an opportunity to engage and respond to and essentially say “well actually, you’re wrong” and move into some pseudo-intellectual stuff before he realized he was actually talking to someone educated on the subject matter.

If we’re assigning blame with regards to who took things too seriously and perpetuated this tangent, I’m taking your boy 100%. Since I’m all about the analogies I guess (bear with me)...let’s put it this way. My guy rolled through here with a harmless little scented candle, lit a flame, then pretty much immediately blew it out.  Your boy came however many hours later, relit the candle, then stoked the flame by dumping a gallon of gasoline on it, burning the entire building down. Do you agree with that characterization?

I agree that it’s a silly tangent that is way off base...but personally, I find the discussion of “can you fix stupid” to be much more interesting than some juvenile TMZ celebrity gossip discussion about a non-Panther. But sorry, we can go back to the riveting discussion now about how hoes ain’t loyal or whatever.

No, I actually don't find it at all interesting in the context of this thread. I am certainly not going be able to take in any serious way the expertise on such a matter from some keyboard warriors in a sports message board. 

I would actually rather discuss Bell being an idiot and him getting ripped off by some random hook ups. It's something that I think the Huddle probably has much more expertise in than the finer points of the intelligence/education debate.

Lol you guys arguing over the thread title? Stupid is as stupid does and Bell is a dumbass proven on more than one occasion.

This is assuming the person with x amount of years doing something actually knows what he is doing. Just because you have "experience" doesn't mean you're right or know what you're doing. I've seen examples of that all my life. 

So like Trump, do you think intuition is better than experience and proven results?

Of course...but I think it’s misguided to hypothetically question the competency of a doctor who has been practicing for 23 years. Surely if he’s incompetent and goes around misdiagnosing people and his patients have a highly disproportionate death rate as a result, then I don’t think that doctor would be employed or even still have a license at that point.

Regardless of whether he’s a good doctor or not, he’s still infinitely more qualified in medicine than someone with an MD from  Google University. Can we agree on that at least?

I'm actually not talking about the incompetent doctors more so ones that maybe at one time was a great doctor but after learning so much, think they don't need to learn anymore. Things are constantly changing. And an intelligent person knows you never stop learning. As for "Google University", ( I liked that, lol) I can give you a good example were that helped me. 7 year's ago I got diabetes and pancreatitis. Only found out because I thought I was getting the flu. I went to my regular doctor and he diagnosed it. But that's basically all he could do. I basically had to do my own research to learn and find a diabetic specialist. I probably know more about diabetes and pancreatitis than probably 75% of doctors that aren't specialist. I also had a heart doctor that I was sent to for test ( he was considered a top surgeon in the country) and he about killed me by prescribing me medicine that can kill some one with pancreatitis. Argued with me about it until I showed him proof. 

You can substitute doctor for any other lable. 

One of my favorite sayings. "The first sign of intelligent is the need to learn, the first sign of ignorance is the need to learn no more."

 

Ps. Sorry if rambling, I am on pain meds from a procedure done yesterday and hopefully this all made a little sense.

I would answer this if you leave politics out I don't discuss BS.

Most medical professions require that their members receive continuing education in order to maintain licensure. Additionally the practice standard is that you only perform services in areas for which you have shown to be competent. There are always exceptions to the rule but that doesn't mean the rule doesn't apply. 

Should you be as knowledgeable as you can about your own issues? Absolutely. And you certainly know your body better than anyone else.  Good for you for not blindly taking advice without confirming it and making sure of what is what. Folks make mistakes especially when they see people all day everyday. They aren't infallible. But that hardly argues that knowledge and experience aren't critical skills and that doctors as a profession aren't highly trained and generally competent.

You're right. Whöre, would be more appropriate.

ewww.    slut shaming?   really, in 2019?   its a thing mostly propagated by women.   its also stupid.  consenting adults get to do what they want.   thieves? yes they were thieves.

And, how did they commit their thievery?   Do you think they would have ever been in his house if they weren't giving out their bodies?   

The fact that you'd use this situation to stand on the podium about is pretty idiotic.

Experience is only a skill if you gain knowledge from from it.

Gaining experience is a life process not a skill. It can teach you skills or lessons depending on how you value and apply the experience. In any event you learn from your experiences. Whether you keep doing things over and over or change is more related to your attributions about what is happening and whether or not you feel you can impact the results.

What the heck is going on on this thread?

He paid them no more mind that morning than an eight-year old would toys left on the floor after playing. Maybe he got a lesson that even throwaway hotties are people, too (and some that are pretty larcenous). 

And that much in jewelry just lying around? The guy understands neither people nor money. I hope wisdom finds him before he runs out of road.

Morphing from one topic to another. You can jump in on either. Brains or skanks. Something for everyone.

Bell is more proof that just because you have a college degree and are rich doesn’t mean you’re smarter than a box of rocks.
