Here I tell you what - I'm literally doing a Doctorate course as we speak
I have access to every data base you can imagine
Here's just one study I clicked on - I need to write preventive health teaching and policy for a neighborhood in Balitmore.
Maybe you can help me ?
Maybe you'll be lucky, and I'll be assigned as one of your Committee Professors. Or maybe I will, and you won't be lucky.......

in charge of all the doctorates
Weird turn of phrase as I assume you are referring to a PhD or EdD?
I'm sure you'll do well on your orals. I've been on numerous committees and interestingly enough, they do like a little humility.

Hey Susan, you were bored. How's this working out?
It was ok. A few thoughtful, reasoned comments but then it went all ST.
But it provided some time killing entertainment on a slow Tuesday night.
I would say I'm a 49ers fan, in a global home team manner. I don't really follow specific players, stats and all that.
Weird thinking I can pull the plug on this thread if I so desire. What a sense of POWER. I think I'll just sit through it.

Radical....are you hitting on me? I don't do chat on facebook and I thought only teenagers did that. I have no idea what you are saying any more but I see now you are not a real doctor. You also seem to have a serious hard on for Kaepernick....like it's that big a deal.
I only have a bachelors degree but at least it is not from Capella! You do have a fan club here so enjoy that.

I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.
For me is just a different spin on the same issue (and not in "the content sucks but the delivery was great!" bullsh#t way). I think there's room for more than one right reaction.
For all the under-educated white Americans who support Trump, or the white people who think they don't benefit from their white privilege - that their lives and black lives are valued equally in our society - or the self-righteous self-loving haters in the name of their own self-aggrandizing morality ...
For me, I prefer Kaepernick. But there's room for more than one right reaction in this human thing we do.

Sure, there's a right reaction :-)
As opposed to ... (fill it in however your omniscient omnipotent brain tells you to, because we each know the truth of other people's lives and experiences and brains better than they know themselves)
You Americans, liberals, conservatives, Christians, non-Christians, Supertopians who are interested in this topic, Supertopians who talk about non-climbing related issues, Kaepernick supporters, Kaepernick detractors - you all suck and are doing it wrong! Why can't you be more like me and do things the right way?
"Wise up." "Pathetic." Me power! -> White power! Humans ...

As a 10 year Army veteran, on one hand I have to say that I don't give a damn about him not standing for the national anthem. It's a free country.
On the other hand, I think he made a poor choice. His action was kind of like refusing to shake hands with the host at a dinner party.

He's not voting for Trump either, but now that he's ripped into Hillary I'm looking forward to Bob D and others changing their tune on the man (kid). LOL
"San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick believes that the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton should be in prison. “We have a presidential candidate who has deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate,” he said. “That doesn’t make sense to me because if that was any other person you’d be in prison.” Kaepernick shared his thoughts about the presidential election while trying to explain his decision to sit during the national anthem to protest the United States.
“So, what is this country really standing for?” he asked after bringing up Clinton’s behavior in political office."

The Canadians won the war of 1812?
Anders, I'm not sure anyone did,
And I still want to know - where is Canada? I've looked on every map and in every atlas, nothing.

Tomi got a new assh ole!
Brilliant, reasoned, highly-educated riposte.
STICK IT, " newsgirl!"
TV journalism in America is of the very worst variety, right up there with televangelism.
Thx, DMT.

I don't think you can say the nation made him rich and famous....football fans made him rich and famous and they are not the whole nation. I live in SF Bay Area so I've heard of him and the controversy but I don't watch football so I also don't think I made him rich and he's not dissing me either. There are a lot of people in this nation. Kaepernick doesn't speak for them all but nobody else does either.
I see there are other vets here that are supporting him.....how many of the people criticizing him are veterans .... or do they just want to speak for veterans because it makes them feel proud?
