...and DegreeForum.net!

Has anyone ever been to that site? It never gets mentioned here. They steal $20 a month and provide nothing that a google search couldn't for free. Worse yet, they are a breeding ground for "students" of the Easy Three. That's right! For $20 a month you can learn JUST ENOUGH to pass an array of exams that are already substandard and need I mention EASY?

Here's the trick, the exams are both multiple-choice and written in third grade English. ANYONE can pass them without preparation at all. So what happens? Some ignorant self-abuser gets nervous, shovels out money and receives a truck load of Jurassic Crap, passes the test and then thanks InstantCert for it. Most of the comments in the forum look like:

"I only went through InstantCert once, about 1 hour before the exam. I didn't understand any of the questions, but somehow I passed it. WOW, InstantCert REALLY WORKS!!!"

"I took 20 exams in one week, and I only studied for 5 hours total! I must be smarter than everyone else, because that is 2 years worth of credit, and now I am ready to graduate from a REAL SCHOOL (Excelsior)!!!!!"

"I went to the library and took out 15 books on Psychology and memorized every single word of. Then I spent an hour or two using InstantCert. I failed the test. I know I should have used InstantCert more."

This atrocity is happening right before our very eyes, education is doomed if they are allowed to continue. IC + EC = EZ

Awwww...what's da matta, poow widdle Georgie?  Won't the big boys let widdle Georgie pway in their game?

You render your own points invalid by resorting to ad hominem rather than sticking to the issues.

If you can get elected president with a fake birth certificate no reason to think you can't work a government paper shuffling job with fake degrees.  Especially if you have "extensive administrative experience" with a political party.  

Fifteen years on fake degrees.  Great mileage!  Why screw around with expensive tuition or dodgy unaccredited degrees when you can lie about having degrees from prestigious schools like LSE and Queen Mary for free?  Works for politicians worldwide.

NORWAY: Top bureaucrat claimed false degrees

Quote:Jan Petter Myklebust

Issue: 131

A high-ranking official at the Norwegian Regulation Authority for Health Personnel has quit following allegations she used fake degrees 15 years ago to be appointed.

Liv Løberg, whose husband is the security chief in Norway's parliament, was responsible for authorising the qualifications each year of hundreds of health professionals, including many foreign citizens.

As one of the regulation authority's four directors, Løberg allegedly produced false documentation when applying for the position 15 years ago. She claimed to have a bachelor degree in economics from Queen Mary College in London in 1989 and a degree in nursing.

She also had a document certifying she was awarded a masters degree in health economics from the London School of Economics in 1990, and a certificate from the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration recognising these degrees as equivalent to the Norwegian degree siviløkonom.

In fact, Løberg only had an assistant nurse qualification from Sweden although she did have extensive administrative experiences in one of the major Norwegian political parties.

The authority is responsible for granting professional authorisation to applicants that allow them to practise their profession. More than 20 health professions exist and the most known are doctors, nurses, psychologists, dentists and so on.

Norwegian newspapers reported that several hundred foreign health professionals might have gained access to the country's labour market on false or insufficient documentation. Norway suspended authorisation of medical doctors from Pakistan in May.

Top health officials reacted angrily to news of Løberg's resignation and called for stricter control of the authority's operations. Løberg admitted the fraud and is being questioned by the police. She faces a possible jail sentence.

University officials said it was rare that they received requests from employers hiring professional staff to check whether their degrees were authentic. Observers believe this now might change.

Gerrit Løberg is reported to have known nothing of his wife's false documents.

What is up with these socialist nutjobs? As if expoiting the entire world with global warming bullshit wasn't enough, they have to exploit some $100 masseuse too. At least Greggy had the courtesy to leave a $39,900 tip.

Gore: 'Come On, Baby, Release My Chakra'

Quote:Wednesday, June 30, 2010
By Ben Shapiro

Al Gore didn't merely invent the Internet. He invented romance. At least that's how the mainstream media played his marriage to Tipper.

When he Frenched his wife on national television in 2000, the journalistic crowd swooned."In Vice President Al Gore's campaign to change his robotic image," gushed The New York Times, "nothing may have helped more than the big smooch ... the kiss had an old-fashioned, romantic innocence."

Now, that "old-fashioned, romantic innocence" has withered away. According to a 73-page police report by a Portland, Ore., masseuse, Gore is not only an attempted adulterer, he's a "crazed sex poodle." And if any of what is laid forth in the report is true, he's also exceptionally weird.

His romantic evening with the masseuse began in Victorian-enough manner; he called the front desk of the Hotel Lucia on Oct. 24, 2006 and asked for a massage. When the masseuse arrived, Gore immediately turned on the global warming, hugging the masseuse a bit too close: "The hug went on a bit long, and I was taken just a bit aback by it," said the masseuse. She also admitted that she didn't protest because Gore "was a VIP and a powerful individual and the Hotel Lucia had made it clear ... that they were giving him 'the royal treatment.'"

Apparently, "royal treatment" at the Hotel Lucia includes thigh massages, as well as angry demands for touching below the waist. Finally, Gore let loose with immortal phraseology, asking the masseuse to "release ... his second chakra there."

For those who do not know, a "chakra" is a Sanskrit word for a force center, which exists on the "etheric" body of man. What does that mean? Nobody knows, but it allows leftist grease bags like Al Gore to sound spiritual when all they really want is a happy ending from a masseuse.

But the masseuse's journey into Al Gore's romantic wonderland continued. As she attempted to back out of the room slowly, Gore leapt to his feet and "wrapped [her] in an inescapable embrace," while caressing her "back and buttocks and breasts." More than the planet had a fever, apparently.

After forcing another Frencher on the masseuse and suggesting that they use the "treat box" in the room, Gore finally brought out his most seductive move: he steered her into the bedroom, where he brought out his iPod. He wanted the masseuse to listen to talentless Pink's soporific attack on President George W. Bush, "Dear Mr. President." She asks Bush some questions in the song's questions like "How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? ... How do you walk with your head held high? ... How can you say no child is left behind?" You can just see Gore bobbing his head in time to the music--perhaps the great man even did a little sexy dance for the nameless masseuse.

To put a capper on things, Gore jumped on her, pushed her back on the bed, Frenched her again, and then "groped [her] breasts and painfully squeezed [her] nipples ... pressed his pelvis against [hers]." Etc., etc., etc.

In essence, the former vice president of the United States let his chakra out of the lockbox.

The best part of the story was yet to come, however. When the masseuse told her friends that she'd been sexually assaulted by the horny horned-owl hero, they answered her in typical liberal fashion: "Suck it up; otherwise, the world's going to be destroyed from global warming."

You have to love people who are so stupid that they think Al Gore's blustering blather about saving the planet means he gets to rape anybody he pleases. But then again, we've heard that song and dance before. Remember Betty Friedan justifying Clinton's sexual assaults and dalliances? Or Gloria Steinem? Or Nina Burleigh, former White House correspondent for Time, who once explained, "I'd be happy to give him a blow job just to thank him for keeping abortion legal"?

So far, the media is avoiding any mention of the complaint about Gore, preferring to focus on titillating issues like the Elena Kagan hearings and the interminable oil leak. The comedians of the world are avoiding the Gore debacle like flies avoid vinegar.

That's what we call selective coverage. If you're a liberal, you can literally get away with probable murder (Teddy Kennedy), rape (Bill Clinton), children out of wedlock (John Edwards), association with known racists and terrorists (Barack Obama), involvement with the mob (JFK), pimping out gay prostitutes from your apartment (Barney Frank) and membership in the KKK (Robert Byrd), so long as you believe in bigger government and less financial freedom.

If you're a conservative, you get ousted for complimenting a racist on his 100th birthday (Trent Lott) or having a consensual affair (John Ensign, Mark Souder, etc.). That's not to say that Lott and Co. shouldn't have resigned--it's just to say that if they'd been Democrats, they'd be sitting secure in their seats, their brows bound with victorious wreaths.

Sad to see that the degree.com discussion forum is closed. This was the successor in interest to Robert J's DegreeBoard, one of the best DL discussion forums ever. It did not fare well after the change in administration, being largely overtaken by spammers. May the DL Gods impose a similar fate on the gay boy porn front Debris Inflow.

St Clements, which largely operates out of Australia, appears to be a highly successful private University. I'm on their emailing list for their publication - "VERITAS" - which always makes interesting reading.
It is interesting to note that St Clements hardly ever raises a mention amongst those 'world authorities' on the other forum, yet it is unaccredited!
