Freedom of information is here to stay, but ignorance is still embraced and conformity is not criminalized.

That being said, your friendly neighborhood Scholar is here to give you the readers something to think about.

The Real Useless degrees

"Sen. Dennis Baxley, R-Little-Embalming-by-the-Sea, has a Big Idea: Let’s take scholarship money away from college kids who want to major in useless humanities subjects and airy-fairy theoretical crap like astrophysics and other such egg-headery and give it to the students who choose majors where you’re pretty much guaran-damn-teed a job.

You know: computer programming; accounting; medicine; engineering; finance; technology — the kind of thing your daddy told you to study so you wouldn’t end up a low-paid loser." (1)

Like any other idiot politician, this moron wants to take money away from people who pursue degrees in Liberal Arts and Humanities. How are these degrees, which defines human civilization useless, compared to the degrees Sen. Baxley mentions? Law and Politics should be considered useless too.

Why should conformists jobs like law, politics, business, science and medicine be given a higher priority than those like myself with a Liberal Arts degree?

Better yet, why shouldn't there be more jobs out there for those in the Liberal Arts? We need the work too.

Help the LGBTQ community suffering from the Pandemic anyway

I recently got suspended from Facebook for saying "WTF does being a tranny has to do with fighting Covid-19?"

I do apologize to those of you who identify as Transgender. I was trying to express my contempt towards politicians that are hateful idiots towards you.

But on to business.

There are many health care workers that are choosing not to treat LGBTQ types and it's usually because of their "faith", especially during these tough times with the Covid-19 virus.

"Experts agree that LGBTQ people may have health complications that could put them at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 or heighten complications after contraction. For example, LGBTQ people are more likely to be smokers than other Americans, according to the Human Rights Campaign. They also are more likely to have asthma. LGBTQ Americans, especially those who are nonwhite, are also more likely to have chronic medical conditions such as HIV or AIDS." (2)

Then of course when it comes to poverty:

"LGBTQ Americans are also more likely to be homeless than other Americans. Up to 45% of homeless youth are LGBTQ, while LGBTQ people ages 18 through 25 are two times more likely to be homeless than their peers, according to the Williams Institute, a leading research center on sexual orientation and gender identity at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law." (2)

So, there you have it, non-hetero people getting the same raw deal as people of color because there are too many bigots in and out politics. The same bigots who also don't seem to care if the country turns into a shithole just because Joe Biden is in the White House.

Being a proud White person is not going to get you anywhere

This particularly interesting photo was from Charlottesville during the disgusting "Unite the Right" rally, one among many group of dumbasses that protested the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee, in which a counter-protester was killed along with two state troopers.

Seriously, since when has being white been an accomplishment?

It's like these losers expect to get good jobs, a house in a nice community and access to other nice things just for being born.

Newsflash you morons: you have to actually "work hard" for these things.

The immigrants and people of color aren't stealing jobs in the minimum wage jobs department. Your just too lazy go out and apply to these jobs.

As for immigrants and people of color being able to go to college and not you, it never occurred to you that maybe they studied hard and didn't spend all their time goofing off? That they stayed in school and didn't drop out? or that they can actually go to and stay in a college without getting expelled for promoting intolerance?

You think any college will accept you if you can't handle being around foreigners, immigrants, people of color and non-heterosexuals?

You think any employer would let you have a job if you were seen waving around flags like the idiots in the photo?

White people have only their white pride and intolerance to blame for why they can't get ahead in life.
