I have a piece of paper - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**leangarance** · 05-17-2010, 06:29 AM

Wipe your ass and show the man what you think of it all.

**wrardymar** · 05-17-2010, 06:32 AM

Use it to start the fireplace or charcoal cooker, whichever comes first.

**TodeImmabbedo** · 05-17-2010, 06:39 AM

Yay!

**priceyicey** · 05-17-2010, 06:40 AM

No he graduated college!

**JJascaxal** · 05-17-2010, 06:57 AM

Your piece of paper might not be worth anything, but a dual math/cs major from CMU is.

Diplomas mean nothing
Degrees mean something

I forget if this distinction exists in America, but it does in Canada

College -> Diplomas (2 yr)
University -> Degrees (4 yr)

**happyman** · 05-17-2010, 07:31 AM

That paper is not worth anything. The character of the man whose name is on it means far more than any piece of paper.

This is an empirical statement. Do you have any evidence for this?

**domeffire** · 05-17-2010, 07:34 AM

Asher:

In the US, our 2-year degrees are called Associates degrees and are not usually conferred by colleges but by junior colleges or community colleges. Our colleges are either small schools or part of larger universities. For example, a university's school of engineering would be a college in the bigger university.

Interesting note, there is one high school in the country that can award bachelor's degrees, believe it or not. Central High School here in Philly.

**royarnekara** · 05-17-2010, 07:41 AM

As I said...doing it wrong.

**Paybeskf** · 05-17-2010, 08:36 AM

Congratulations!

**Vkowefek** · 05-17-2010, 12:51 PM

Also known as, congrats.

**Auzuigcx** · 05-17-2010, 03:41 PM

Asher, we call all of them diplomas. When I graduated high school I got a diploma.

everyone else: thanks

**Nutpoode** · 05-17-2010, 05:08 PM

congratulations

**xquFzpNw** · 05-17-2010, 06:09 PM

But can the piece of paper be folded and put into an postage paid envelope?

**bitymnmictada** · 05-17-2010, 06:23 PM

No, he graduated from college!

Fixed again.

**enurneAcourdy** · 05-17-2010, 07:47 PM

You can't ban me. I own this site.

**Peter Hill** · 05-17-2010, 07:49 PM

Wouldn't it be "he was graduated from college"? I thought the institution graduates students.

**Kt-viagra** · 05-17-2010, 08:21 PM

No, it's "College was graduated TO him". They didn't take things from him, dumbass.

**derinasderun** · 05-17-2010, 08:23 PM

Of course I'm correct, I'm ****ing Asher.
