It's a peculiar kind of color blindness that only permits black and white to be perceived with no shades of gray. Uncommon, but not rare.
I suggest you read more carefully. my post included the following: the adjunct professor makes $3000- to 8000/ course. he accepts the job with the hope that some day he will be part of the elite and then he can rip off the students. professors preach socialism while practicing the most ruthless form of wage slavery. there is a big difference between adjunct professor, as mentioned above, and associate professor. the statement is the truth.
I did not mention adjuncts. I referred to tenured professors, i.e., Associate or Full. You referred to tenured professors, so you were referring to either Associate or Full Professors. Assistant professors are tenure track, but not tenured. I left them out of my discussion.
you are very good at twisting the facts but you are a liar . I posted where i gave earnings for ADJUNCT professors and referring to them as slaves on the plantations.

This article says a good online degree will cost $1000 a year, in just 7 years. But what about the poor students who've already been ripped off, and put in debt, by today's colleges? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100...?mod=hp_opinion they were ripped off by their liberal professors. they were sold a bill of goods. then they were indoctrinated with leftist ideology. then they will work for six months and collect unemployment for 2years while guzzling beer. with food stamps they will never starve. with obamacare they will hardly pay for doctors.they will never pay their debts off. then 1 day they will pass legislation creating a student loan moratorium. of course they will vote democratic. they have now ripped off the system + their parents. of course these professors believe in slavery on the plantation. a tenured professomakes $20,000/ course. the adjunct professor makes $3000- to 8000/ course. he accepts the job with the hope that some day he will be part of the elite and then he can rip off the students. professors preach socialism while practicing the most ruthless form of wage slavery."
Yes, you did indeed. Good for you! And again, I did not comment on anything having to do with adjuncts. In fact, my earlier post had virtually nothing to do with your own post, other than I made a comment re the salaries of tenured professors divided by the number of courses taught. You are entitled to your opinions. I only mentioned, with regard to your post, that perhaps 20K/course is a bit low for tenured professors, which again, includes both associate and full professors. Is that a lie? If you think it is, that's fine with me. Have a nice day.
3 classes/semester. 2/semesters/ year would make for a salary of 120k/yr + benefits not shabby for this kind of work. there is little preparation when you teach the same courses year in and year out. again you are twisting the truth. i didn't reply to your comment that 20k is a low figure. more over instead of looking for some facts you try to bs your way around it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professors_in_the_United_States
OK looking ahead a bit but I think it may be possible to transfer large amounts of data into the human brain by electronic means. A decade or two away but will certainly take the grind out of learning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professors_in_the_United_States take a look and the numbers and quit lying in this thread and most other threads . you are like obama. you refuse to admit what you are politically. these numbers are 6 years out of date add 20-25%.
