What follows is a generic mod comment:
Just like moving a thread that has no comedic value what-so-ever to the humor section?
Nevertheless, I enjoy the entertainment value that these consistent threads, about the same exact subjects provide. It shows the demographics of JC easier than a poll of if you have a 4 year degree or not.  All the 4 year degree kiddies claim they are the greatest, and all the non-4 year kiddies claim that they are the greatest.
The usual pilot vs pilot rivalry continues.
I'm better than you - NO! I'm better than YOU! - NO!! I'M BETTER THAN YOU!!!!11 |
Steve C is probably the most level-headed common sense oriented guy on JC. I really don't understand your mod comment.
Topics repeat themselves on JC. They have to. There are tons of revolving new members who want advice and who don't know that we already had 73 safety pilot conversations in the last year. Think back to your first week on JC - all that info out there and it was all new to you. You didn't know that to some, the topics were very, very, well worn.
Never mind we all know the search function sucks - more importantly, if we stopped discussing these "repeaters," what would be left? Politics?
The degree topic is important. New pilots really need to know that not having a degree could be a limiting factor for them - and they need to know in what ways it can be a limiting factor.
The manner this information was presented originally in this thread obviously leaves something to be desired. Either he was on a drunken rant or we need more discussions entitled "Perception and the Internet: How not to look like a know it all." I've hung out with Jtrain and sure enough like he says, the way he comes off on the internet is not like in real life. In my opinion though, that's little excuse - John's information would be better received by all if not laced with what could be perceived as self congratulatory conceit. I'm pretty sure I remember you (John) bagging on the manner in which Velo writes, saying his points would hold more weight if not for his writing style. (And I say that with love, brother - I'm just trying to help you out.)
Nonetheless, I think many of the "old salts" would agree that this is a topic that needs occasional recycling.
