"it is foolish to ignore a school because of one alum that went there, and some people think poorly of you for saying that. "

I guess I shoulda put the smiley face on this, I wasn’t that serious about it.

However, both kids didn’t consider the “ivies” or Stanford for that matter because they really weren’t interested for a lot of reasons. Alot of it had to do with wanting to follow their own path. We believe there are many roads to the city, everyone will eventually get you there. Some roads are just more enjoyable than others and must be driven at a different speed to be appreicated. Just because one road is quickest, does it really make it the best? What if you’re not in a hurry?

“If I wanted to be puerile, I would say that if you had attended Yale, you wouldn’t be committing the logical fallacies you have been making.”

Why? Why is it a logical fallicy? Because you attended or read something about it?

Does everyone, every person who attends this particular school or any other guaranteed success and happiness? I know some yalies and outside of running in some celeb/political circles they aren’t the brightest blubs in the box and without family money, could quite possibly be asking if you want fries with that?

In your concern of my logic, you’ve missed my point. That is, the person can be successful ANYWHERE if they are so inclined. Granted family wealth helps, but family wealth keeps more fools in charge than makes successful people who do it on their own.

" But, I will refrain and just say I think you should apologize for disparaging someone when you put the words in their mouth"

but wouldn’t that be putting your words in my mouth?

" and realize that you make people annoyed when you denigrate a school they attended/like just because of one alum you don’t li"

And because of the affection for the label, you lost the point. I am sure my point is evil because it supports an individual be to an individual and have success where ever they go. bad idea isn’t it?
