to be frank....i really didn't like that as well, and really didn't read the article.I got this far and quit reading. BY ED AKA “THE REAL MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD” LAPORTA
I know people don't always read articles. That's why I quoted the main point I was getting at in the OP.to be frank....i really didn't like that as well, and really didn't read the article.
What do you have against Biscuit dough?I have read other articles penned by this joker, and they lined up closely with the one posted. Only he who's biscuit isn't baked would self proclaim to be "the real most interesting man in the world." Buffoon.
oh, i know, i read your comments.I know people don't always read articles. That's why I quoted the main point I was getting at in the OP.
don't feel so badly about it...This is interesting. I struggled through his garbage and then left a comment at the bottom of the page.
No cussing or anything. But I did say he ranked as kindergarten and his PHD meant Piled Higher and Deeper.
Now it did say that my comments would have to be reviewed, but apparently, I didn't make the cut. They aren't there today.
Jeff CooperHow surprising that a gun writer wrote this:
"Sometimes, I think there should be a Ph.D. available for the shooting disciplines, as there are in other areas of study. Certainly, there is as much — if not more — information concerning firearms and associated disciplines to warrant it. Beginners would be first graders and the sad truth is that 90% of today’s gun enthusiasts would be at elementary school grade levels 1–6.
High school would be comprised of high-level military operators, top professional instructors, and shooting champions… with some professional dangerous-game hunters thrown in. College level would be some highline writers, collectors, and gunsmiths. A handful of Ph.D.’s would be reserved for those few who have mastered most of the main areas of the subject. I suspect accreditation would go a long way to eliminating the self-proclaimed internet experts. The ones who don’t know how much they don’t know, and that’s a kind way of putting it."
What a F'in D-bag. High level military operators are high school and gun writers are college?

Hmmm.... I made it through my working years just fine with no college whatsoever. No loans either!!!! Retired at 60 on a big lake, all paid for.
There are people who went to college, then there's college boys {and girls}, for whom if it ain't in a book, it can't be real!!!!
I was a manager for over 18 years, and I learned that experience beats all. The most valuable stuff cannot be taught, it has to be learned. If I have to explain, you wouldn't understsnd.
Not a thing, except I prefer to have it baked to a deep golden brown, and served warm with real butter and local honey!What do you have against Biscuit dough?
Roll it around in sugar and deep fry it. Or make stick bread. Wrap it around a stick and hold it over a campfire.Not a thing, except I prefer to have it baked to a deep golden brown, and served warm with real butter and local honey!
The words ‘common sense’ is an outlook that’s not common at all !! Ur right about experience being the best teacher & like Bassbob said, just cuz ur well-versed in a subject doesn’t always qualify you to be an expert !! My experience taught me that the minute I/someone thinks they have it dialed in perfectly is riiiiight about the time they screw it up - badly !! A humble mindset & a willingness to be taught is a good way to live.Hmmm.... I made it through my working years just fine with no college whatsoever. No loans either!!!!
