This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Because you don't need critical thinking skills for a degree.

This is the correct answer....tons of degrees are worth less than the paper they're printed on. College has become a grown up playground for many people. Probably 50% of the people who go, probably shouldn't and should have went to trade schools to learn something that's useful vs getting a degree in management.
