Title: Socialism/GPA
Post by MnSpring on 10/27/19 at 08:20:48

Socialism/GPA has been done many, many, many times.
Saw another one last night.

A Question for the UL FDS GB Socialists.

Why is it, that collage students just Love the Gimme, I deserve, Free stuff, it is my Right, (when it clearly is not)
Yet, when asked,"Would you would be willing to give some of your higher than B grades, to bolster up someones D grades.?"
It is a absolutely different answer.
They say they want to keep their grade, because They worked hard to get them.

They have not worked for anything yet, so they fully believe everything should be the nirvana, 'free'.
The only thing they have worked for, is their Grades !
And that is why they are Not willing to give them out willy nilly.
Especially to someone who has not even tried to study.

The UL FDS GBS, are only interested in those, Collage students, and those that have graduated with their 6 year, 'Underwater Basket Weaving degree', and living in their parents basement, while they seek a 'meaningful' job.
Only as long as they have their strings attached, and be puppeteer-ed into, 'Useful Idiots'.

What other reason are the field of wanna bees, which have stumbled out of the Clown Car, which are all falling over themselves, seeing who can 'promise' to give away More?

They have already convinced tt and clones.
Who's left ?
Oh, Wait, ALL the people who are promised to get, (Citizen or not), the 'wannabees', give always.

 But many are ok with grading on a curve.

 That's not Socialism, or Capitalism, its more like Democratic Socialism.

Not really, its more like accepting lessor.

Would you like a doctor to operate on you who was in a med school where everyone scored 25/100 as passing?

Yes, a BIG exaggeration, however, the truth still remains in the fallibility of grading on a curve raises results positively.

Grading on a curve, IS socialism.
It punishes the hardest working/smartest,
for the benefit of the lazy/ignorant.

It is akin to, 'Teaching The Test',
which many teachers do, to bolster, the 'Teacher'.

Teach a subject, give a test.
Do Not, reward the students that did not learn/listen.
Do Not, punish the students that did.

Grading on the curve is capitalism pure and simple, only the best get the high grades and the worst the low grades based upon the averages of the current class.

Pass/Fail where the criteria is set by the state is socialism.

Could be democratic socialism if the criteria is set by the class.

 That's more of what I was thinking.  And in some classes it happens and people go insane complaining about Millennials for a day but its a very low percentage, less than 1%.

 How are they punished?

 They still have their A.  If they scored 99 out of 100 and they grade on a curve your score is 99 out of 100.  Their GPA won't change no matter what anyone else got.

 What's the punishment specifically for the guy who got the 99 out of 100?

You don’t understand the bell-curve- at all; at least you're consistent.

The curve adjusts regard of results to reflect reasonable expectations.   Were we to test a group of 6-year-olds on economics, those scoring above 50% might be extraordinary, while a majority achieving in the 20 percentile, average.   Let's take a not-so hypothetical class, tested on metrics, in which most score in the 80-90% range.   Exceptional?  No, they are average- you’d have to score perfect or near perfect to be above average.   Consider then the case of the lazy and ignorant Minimal-effort-Spring- despite knowing little-to-nothing about The Curve, he manages to guess well on the multiple choice test, scoring 75% -but because grading is 'on the curve', he still fails.   A common example of laziness and ignorance being recognized- not “rewarded” -when applying a curve.

Like all tools, such as language, value is in the hand of the person wielding it.   We are confronted by this dynamic on this forum every day.   In this thread, the guy starting a discussion on political philosophy isn't even versed in the use of tools he has reached for; normally I’d encourage that sort of ambition, but a demonstrated contempt for learning robs me of good will.

At first, they are not.
The person’s who got the most questions correct, most probably get’s a A,
If one of the popular ‘curve’ grading was used, would probably get a A plus.
Making him/her the highest scoring person on that test.
So, in a way, that person is not punished for their work/study.
That time.
And that describes the two extremes of the spectrum.
The highest gets a A, the lowest get’s a F.

What about those lower grading students, who would have failed,
they now get getting passing grades, for doing NO work.

The working hard person, not just the Top person,
sees, ‘no work’, rewarded, so why ‘work’, why not party ?
So yea, it would not, directly, ‘punish’, the highest grade person.

It punishes the hardest working/smartest,
for the benefit of the lazy/ignorant.

Just like, ’Teaching The Test’, benefits the teacher, school, state.

Or the most wonderful, Pass/Fail, system.

Socialism, where the ‘almost good enough’, will receive rewards.
(Well, until the other person, stops working for them)


Now, to the original question:
... when asked,"Would you would be willing to give some of your higher than B grades, to bolster up someones D grades.?"
...They say they want to keep their grade, because They worked hard to get them...

Is it possible that any UL FDS GBS could answer that,
without Spinning, Deflecting, and name calling ?

Or is it just, 'good enough', to Spin, Deflect, and name call ?






Title: Re: Socialism/GPA
Post by Eegore on 10/28/19 at 15:51:09


"The person’s who got the most questions correct, most probably get’s a A,"

 They do, not probably.  Do you know of college courses where the highest score is not considered as the highest and gets a B?

 
"The working hard person, not just the Top person,
sees, ‘no work’, rewarded, so why ‘work’, why not party ?"


 With that type of education  ethics why shouldn't they be held responsible for screwing off their grades for partying?  You don't like how this class is graded so you get an excuse to party instead of study?
 


"Now, to the original question:
... when asked,"Would you would be willing to give some of your higher than B grades, to bolster up someones D grades.?"
...They say they want to keep their grade, because They worked hard to get them..."


 Do you have any references?

 Given your history of claiming you have proof of things you don't actually have,  I'm not going to take much of what you claim to say as fact.

 For instance where's the case, the actual legal case number of the prosecution for shooting armor piercing bullets into a person when the impacts were actually in the face?  

 Where is that case?  What state?  What court?

"Again, Never said that. 'shooting armor piercing bullets... impacts ... in the face'"

 Did you use the word "head" ?

 I recall you bringing up a case where cop-killer bullets impacted in a location other than body armor and that evidence was used in court to change law.

 I've heard of this case in a few places, but nobody can reference it.

I went to some length to explain this so that even a person of your limited intellect could understand what you keep repeating is simply wrong.   Minimal-effort-Spring demonstrates, once again, that you can lead a bore to culture, but you can't make him think.

Here, I'll post it in a larger font with less challenging characters and a color that might hold your attention; sorry, no cartoons- you'll just have to make pictures in your head:

So your statement:  "shooting armor piercing bullets into a person" Never happened, it was simply another case where the UL FDS GBS  Made Something UP, Lied by omission of fact, to convince other UL FDS GBS to do something.

 I agree.

 But you mentioned a murder case that involved those bullets that impacted areas of the body other than the armor, and the information in this case was used as leverage to outlaw the bullets.

No, it was not, ‘a’, murder case. Again never said it was.

It was a case where several Gun Haters, got in front of a bunch of elected, Gun Haters,
Who allowed them to LIE, by omission of Facts, to convince the elected Gun Haters to ban a certain bullet.
(Just for the panty in a bunch crowd, notice, ’to convince … to ban’.  Not, ’they did', ban)

The nuts of the situation was:
Gun Haters, did NOT call/inform/invite any sensible people.
The elected, Gun Haters, did not call/inform/invite any sensible people.
The gun haters gave their ‘testimony’ in their, ‘eco chamber’, that these, (’Scary’ bullets), were armor piercing, cop-killer bullets.
And to Prove that, they cited 6 police officers that were Killed, while wearing Body armor.
The elected Gun Haters, promptly decided something had to be done about these, ‘scary’ bullets.

The FACTS: The 6 fatally shot cited were over a period of several years.
They were fatally shot in a place they had NO Body Armor covering.
They were NOT, armor piercing, or  cop-killer bullets.

The Gun Haters presented the information in such a way,
And did not call/inform/invite any sensible people to set the record straight.
That the elected Gun Haters, believed these were ultra evil armor piercing, cop-killer bullets.

Rather the same today, when a Mentally Ill person,  wrongly used/s a firearm,
the UL FDS GBS’s solution is to ban that firearm.
Much the same thing as banning red cars, because one was used in a bank robbery.

 My opinion is neither of those.  I would call them Teflon encased heads.  

 I am referencing other claims of what they have been called or referenced as by people other than me.

 I would consider killing a police officer to be murder.  There should be a murder case, or investigation for that.
