You know what really annoys me?

When you present someone who has a silly argument with undeniable facts and if they can't find a counterargument, they won't even man up or respond back.

You know what annoys me? Being repeatedly told that Wilson Chandler is a shooting guard, because George Karl was forced to have him try to guard Kobe under extraordinary circumstances, with the Nuggets' actual two rotation shooting guards out of the picture, Afflalo out from injuries and J.R. Smith in foul trouble.

You know, like the entire NBA doesn't know what to do with a slower, bulky 6'8" guy with no handles but who can spread the floor with his perimeter shooting. Gosh, is he a swingman or a 3-4!?!?! It's just so hard to tell.

So with Sunday's game against the Lakers, a lot of people were seeing these former Knicks for (likely) the first time ever, and they sure rushed to some pretty stupid conclusions.

You know, like Wilson Chandler.

Shooting guard.

Shooting guard, Wilson Chandler.

A lot of Bulls fans are very knowledgeable and articulate, while still others seem pretty godamned dumb. I'm sure it's like that with any franchise, though. I'll learn.

In time, I'll learn.

What is the best way going about it? Get tix now and spend 190 to sit up in the nosebleeds? Wait till gameday? Whats the best thing to do? Im trying to get tix

[moabu08]

Wait til game day itll be cheapest when the scalpers are desperate to get rid of their tickets. Its nerve racking because you wont know where ur sitting til hours before but its deffinately the cheapest route. Good luck on ur search brother.

Alright guys, I need some advice and I know most of you work and know how the job market really is. Im a senior about to graduate with my degree in Economics and am looking for a job. But on a whim I took the GMAT and applied to a grad school and got into Brandeis for their MBA program. I was thinking about deferring for a year, but I honestly dont know if Im ready to go back to school at this point because seniortis is kicking my ass. But at the same time I dont have a job and am looking to lock in a lease for a year soon with some friends because going home is not an option. I know its risky but like I said going home isnt an option and I dont know if grad school is for me yet. What do you guys think, risk the job market or stick it out in school?

[knicks210]

You mean the people outside of MSG? So should i show up like a few hours before hand?

Yes and it is that easy. I live in Boston Ive done it for Celtic playoff games the past couple of years. Its the cheapest way to get tickets. You could buy tickets before hand but your going to pay ton of money especially since its the 1st time in 7 years weve made the playoffs.

Exactly , its Boston lol They make the playoffs every year and now getting 2 superstars with the combination of the 7 year drought, I might have to drop near 400 on 2 tix for nosebleeds ugh

Whats the job lined up?

get the job and experience

I started my MBA after working 3 years and it really helps. The students straight out of college can do the book work but doesn't bring any experience to the team work which is 90% of a MBA programs.

If you are doing it for a degree, it doesn't matter, if you want to learn something, work for a little bit and understand the work world before getting a masters.

Socialism =/= communism. That's the main thing people can't comprehend.

That is definitely true.

But that makes it even more ridiculous. It's usually the right who calls the left communist, as if it is the worst thing in the world.

However, conservative policies are really more communist than liberal, when you break them down into theory.

A pillar of communism is continuing class revolution. This comes from heightened disparities in wealth among the classes.

So really, social programs and lower taxes on lower earning families advocated by the left are anti-communist. While conservative policies that widen the gap between the classes support communist theory.

I always had some slight trouble fully differentiating these certain systems. A quick synopsis of both communism and socialism and nationalism would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I took a year off before jumping into my master's program. Getting back into the school work mindset was really challenging. My program is extremely rushed too and I think I'm one of only three or four students in it who works. Word of warning too, if you have college loans (which I'd assume most do), you funds will be sapped into paying them off....it's ridiculous how much they try to charge you before you file for differments and the such (and it's an irritating process). If you can get a good paying job, time off from school isn't bad, but I'm really wishing I had just gone straight to school personally.

Yeah thats the thing I dont have a job yet still searching thats my dillemma do i risk the market and hope I find a job? Or do i go with the guarantee schooling?

Any system that wants more of my money is a bad system.

Stay in school. An econ degree is worthless outside of school unless you go to grad school.

and a mba without relevant work experience is also useless

imo the best way to do it is undergrad, work a bit, mba, then real job

but considering the poster said he doesnt have a job lined up, guess might as well stay in school

Not true. Consulting firms would take an inexperienced MBA student and pay them like a UnderGraduate with Experience $65,000 base. You can work your way up from there.

In the simplest way possible you can think of socialism as the ideal and communism as the vehicle to get there. People tend to teach it the wrong way as if they're the same thing. It's not true. Communism is however almost always necessary to get to socialism. Why? Because most people are not just going to take socialism lying down when they're accustomed to capitalism. It's really hard to try to convince someone who works hard for what they have that they should give a big chunk of what they earned up and be ok with people who are lazy and don't do anything being part of the redistribution of wealth. So what does that mean? Communism is essentially the forceful installation of socialism. Sure, the ideal is a nice peaceful society where everyone contributes to a universal pot and people take out only what they need but that's idealist and unrealistic because it goes against human nature. Communism is the attempt to force that upon people and that's the difference.

On another note does the school you receive you MBA from make that big of a difference? Brandeis is a small private school the MBA program is respected, but its not like a top 50 MBA program. How much weight will employers put into where I received my MBA from?
