Results from Poor Man's College:

No punishment of the unrighteous has ever been too severe in the eyes of the righteous.: Author Unknown
One look around us ought to show that all our arbitrary measures and bounds have been clamped on us by mankind.: Author Unknown
How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgments upon that which seems.: Robert Southey (1774 - 1843)
The term "learning disability" has appeal because it implies a specific neurological condition for which no one can be held particularly responsible, and yet it escapes the stigma of mental retardation. There is no implication of neglect, emotional disturbance, or improper training or education, nor does it imply a lack of motivation on the part of the child. For these cosmetic reasons, it is a rather nice term to have around.: U. S. Government Study On The Labeling Of Children
Non Judgment: In our world where it seems we are taught to judge everything all around and about us and we spend so much of our time doing just that, it might be wise to ask if we can judge anything. To judge anything with any degree of clarity and accuracy we would need all the information past, present and future and how it will affect all concerned to make a perfect judgment. Since no one has that skill, ability or information, you might agree, it may be unwise to judge. This idea may be hard to accept, but when you look back over your life and the judgments you made, ask yourself. How many of your judgments, when you made them, were you perfectly sure they were correct, would you want to change now with the benefit of 20 20 hindsight? Since every judgment is only an opinion based on the limited information at hand, filtered through one's personal value system, it might be safe to assume no two people will judge anything exactly the same. Even concepts of right and wrong, good or bad, good or bad morals and ethics are only opinions, for what may be good in one case may be a disaster in another.: Sidney Madwed
Judgment is forced upon us by experience.: Johnson
Because the results are expressed in numbers, it is easy to make the mistake of thinking that the intelligence test is a measure like a foot ruler or a pair of scales. It is, of course, a quite different sort of measure. Intelligence is not an abstraction like length and weight; it is an exceedingly complicated notion - which nobody has yet succeeded in defining.: Walter Lippmann (1889 - 1974)
We find it hard to apply the knowledge of ourselves to our judgment of others. The fact that we are never of one kind, that we never love without reservations and never hate with all our being cannot prevent us from seeing others as wholly black or white.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
When you laugh, be sure to laugh at what people do and not at what people are.: Author Unknown
Life does not cease to be funny when people die; any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
