I like Golden Corral but I acknowledge that it ain’t fine dinning and is best for kids, seniors and large hungry bus groups.

I agree that he could have used a much better way to illustrate the way colleges are today. Elementary school cafeteria food would be a much more fitting illustration of his point. In my day it was tasteless, bland food that had little nutritional value.
That being said, his overall point is true. We have Felonia von Pantsuit, other elites, and the media scolding and lecturing the commoners when they themselves are so morally and in many other ways inferior to those they are talking down to.

I like to know, wth are they doing in Congress if they need Alzheimer’s prescriptions, this and the fact that they get their drugs at almost no cost delivered to them is not just outrageous, it is clearly criminal.

I like Golden Corral too and if it were for fine dining it wouldn’t be self serving, plus the prices would be at least 3 times at much and the plates that they serve you would only one third full.

I agree with your comments about his sideswipe at GC. He should have left that out.

I’m willing to give him a pass on a mistake, so long as he admits it was a mistake. That is what sets us apart from the left. They just double down. Schlicter is one of my favorite writers, so I hope he backs off of this remark. He doesn’t have to stand in the corner and flog himself, just admit a small mistake, move forward, keep writing his great columns.

If you called me a bad name, I’d quickly forgive and forget. It would be especially easy to forgive and forget if I knew that you didn’t mean it. The reason it’s hard to forgive the left is because with them it’s always a slip that reveals their true nature and feelings.

Also, it’s entirely possible that KS really dislikes GC and has had bad food there. That is entirely different from elitism. We’re all entitled to our likes and dislikes which doesn’t necessarily make us elitists. I’m not too fond of several fast food places, yet have no problem shopping at Walmart. It’s a matter of what I like and don’t like and what I think is a good value, not a matter of elitism.

But today, it’s all gender studies and grade inflation, with whiny social justice warriors drowning out any voice that won’t sing in tune. It is steam table trays heaped with gray, fatty meat and limp asparagus - the Golden Corral of the mind.

It's also engineering, physics, chemistry, accounting, supply-chain management, and so on.

I am cool with that — it makes sense. We can all get a little overamped when we snark :) It isn’t like it happens here on FR and certainly *I* have never been guilty of such!!! ;)

I love the folks bitching about his Golden Corral comment. His point is valid—college was supposed to be for cultivating the elite among our society, instead it’s been devolved into an overpriced, bland, anti-intellectual experience.

Golden Corral is fine for what it is, but it sure as hell ain’t “elite.”

[workerbee]

It isn’t about Golden Corral!!! Geez, people.
