Stupid shit in Medellin

[MikeBayArea]

You just lost the bet, as according to you, calling a master's anything other than an "advanced degree" proves you don't have one. I guess it's just as well, as good luck finding a truly "independent" person to decide the outcome. And furthermore, when you claim you have an MBA from CUNY, logically the burden of proof is on you. No one owes you a wager. All you have to do is order your transcripts online, which typically comes with no cost. Mark out any personally identifying information, take a screenshot and upload it here so we can see. Until you do we are free to have doubts that your claim is true.

Again, from ChatGPT. I hope you feel stupid and humbled now Paulie. Because you are on the wrong side of truth. People who throw out baseless uneducated claims are the bain of society.

Estimated Common Usage in the United States:

Term Estimated Usage %.

Master's Degree 80–85% By far the more common term. Widely used in conversation, job listings, resumes, academic descriptions, and school websites.

I have undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees (yes even "professional" is used to describe some types of degrees) all from American universities. You are correct to say that it is very common to see and / or hear "advanced degree" in the United States. That is the country of my birth, and I absolutely know what I'm talking about, and so do you.

In the United States, the more commonly used term in everyday, academic, and professional settings is "graduate degree. ".

Yes, professional degree is used, but lets be honest. Its called "Graduate School" for a reason and it's a "Graduate Degree". This is the original and most common usage. "Professional School" is used to describe the trades more often than a graduate degree. And I still know very, very, few people who use Advanced Degree to describe any "Graduate Degree".

Lawyers will simply say "Law School" and doctors will say "Medical School. " Most others will say "Graduate School". MBA's will say "Business School. " These are all examples of Graduate Degrees. Trying to act like "Advanced Degree" is the more common usage is moronic and dumb. It's called "Graduate School" for a reason. Nobody says "Advanced School. ".

Now I get why people are fleeing these boards. Arguing with morons is not fun because even when you use reason they fail to connect the dots of reason.

I was in academia for 20 years and "advanced degree" is a very, very common term. Master's degree = advanced degree. PhD, DBA, EdD, MFA = terminal degrees.

MFA equals terminal degree? What does the M in MFA stand for?

Perhaps is geographical to your region of the the USA. But where I'm from. Nobody calls it an advanced degree. And you're still very wrong stating that the guy doesn't have a graduate degree because he calls it a graduate degree.

I have an MBA and have hardly ever heard someone say advanced degree. The more common term would be graduate degree or post-graduate degree.

When I went to orientation the dean posed the question of why everyone was there. People tried to give answers they expected he wanted to hear. He finally said bullshit. MBA stands for More Bank Account. If you are here for anything else besides to make more money, then you are here for the wrong reason.

[Huacho]

I have never heard a single person in the states call it an Advanced Degree. It is common to call it a Masters or a Graduate Degree or a Doctorate or a PhD. Nobody calls it an advanced degree in the states. That sounds like some certificate program online or someone with a high school diploma who studied in a trade. You are so very wrong on this take. And clearly you don't have an advanced degree as you like to call it, or you would know this, and also you would be less surprised that someone could obtain one. Graduate Degrees are a dime a dozen in the USA. Not a big deal.

That is quite a statement, Subcmdr. You have to remember that Paulie97 might resurface and he has set standards of "stupid" that nobody would find easy to equal.

On the other hand that old, ugly, dumb, poorly dressed gringo mother fuck Elvis 2008, well I've run out of kind things to say about him.

Elvis 2008 just asked why Black men goto Colombia. Are you kidding me? He goes to Colombia. Why call out a specific racial group? White men are the original pussy colonizers showing up on the shores of other countries with guns and saying: "You all my bitches now"!

ROTFLMAO!

I would be happy to find my graduate degree records and documentation and we can have an independent person determine the winner of the bet.

I haven't even started to collect my social security. By deferring it until I am 70, it grows by 8% a year. Another financial principle at work. You really should take one of those basic finance courses, if you can afford it. It really might help you.

The above post is from late Sept last year, but on 6-25 of the year 2022 you stated to Elvis 2008:

Are you suggesting that because I'm retired and after a few years of deferring my social security, started taking it this year, that there is something shameful?

What other lies have you told about your finances? The lying part is easy as seen above. The hard part is remembering what you said.

Folks expect all or most of these points to be completely ignored, as he hasn't an answer for them.

I've been around in the Ukraine forum as I'm very interested in the war. You are the one hiding, especially from my last four or five posts to you on this thread that went unanswered. I see you tried to post something thought provoking on the main thread a few times this year but no one responded. LOL.

he has set standards of "stupid" that nobody would find easy to equal.

Says you, the biggest fan of my Covid and otherwise political analysis. That went on for years, your tune only changing after you got your feelings hurt. Says you who brags to the cyberworld about having the means to buy apartments with cash in El Poblado while you think you have friends in Colombia. Of course I know you're full of it but some will believe you. Says you who calls a known black guy "subhuman" even during an American history discussion and the Three-Fifths Clause while bragging for weeks about how intelligent and educated you are. LOL.

Folks expect all or most of these points to be completely ignored. That's how he rolls.

You do not give them panties from Victoria Secrets to get better service?

Nope, I only give Victoria Secrets panties to get better service. I only give them to my regulars. Yes, they appreciate them. But they don't give me better service because of them. The panties are actually a reward (read gift or tip) for several sessions of good service prior to receiving them. I don't care if they model them for me or not. I prefer my girls naked in nothing but their heels, baring that barefoot.

ROTFLMAO!
