What a completely absurd assumption.

I went back to school in my 30s and found there were quite a few people my age and older. This had nothing to do with not wanting to work for a living. On the contrary, all of us were there to further our careers.
Not very funny. -

More power to you if you would like to remain ignorant and stagnant klarissa, some people would like to further their education and careers. I worked several years just to be able to pay for my education. Funny though that that is what you got out of the article, it speaks volumes about you.

Not sure that you have made a good assumption.
Should someone educate themselves? Or should we work to create a class of people who are willing to work for $.90 an hour to get some of those jobs back?
I think you need to reassess your statement and how you have made a generalization about anyone who is, has, or will go back to school to better themselves.
Do you like it when others make assumptions and generalizations about you, your actions, and what you believe in?

FTA:
"Beck, filed a formal complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization within days of the site's opening, insisting it be taken down as a trademark violation."
"Eiland-Hall told The Daily Beast he found a certain delicious irony in Beck’s challenge to his site. WIPO is, after all, a part of the United Nations and governed by international law, and railing against a “one-world government” conspiracy among international organizations to undermine the U.S. Constitution is a major part of Beck's show."

I posted this guy's page to Propeller when I first saw it months ago, but I can't seem to find it now. Maybe it was purged? I don't know, but I'll say what I said when I posted it...I don't really agree with going to such an extent to prove a point, but it's hard to feel sorry for Beck who makes it his business to do this sort of thing to other people without apology. Anyone who actually reads the site realizes it's a parody, so it makes sense that he won here. Unfortunately, it didn't teach Glenn Beck the lesson he needed to learn because he's still doing this to other people, and he's still doing it without apology. Frankly, I think the fact that he tried to sue this guy is completely hilarious considering his own behavior.

Bottom line...most people get what they give in this life. Glenn Beck gives lies and innuendo and slander so it's only fair that he gets a taste of it back. He brought it on himself. He and his "base" are the ones who rewrote the rules of what is acceptable, so they shouldn't be crying foul when their detractors start playing by the same rules. Again, you get what you give. -

Well all right, but IF Glen Beck didn't rape and murder that young girl, And I stress IF, who did? Why haven't Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh stepped forward and denied any role in this perverse and horrid crime? What is the connection between Beck and other right-wing pundits also failing to distance themselves from this wicked deed?

The public has a right to entertain ALL of the pointless inuendo and random conjecture in this matter. To say otherwise is unamerican. -

People like Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh fit into the same boat in my opinion. They've both made careers out of making a public outcry about anything and everything. I'm amazed that these people are even able to get dressed without the help of the general public. They seem to thrive on controversy and when their isn't any controversy to talk about, they create some in their own sad little world.
