That doesn't have anything to do with it. Educated means that you went to college. You can learn a lot of things, know quite a bit, be a smart mother****er with critical thinking to boot, but if you didn't go to college, you are put down on the census or in polls as uneducated. That's why I said that, on the semantic level (not the more colloquial one, which is the way that you're looking at it I think) not going to college literally means that you're uneducated.

Don't confuse it with uninformed.

So if a person graduated from high school, that person is still uneducated? Even if that person furthered his/her education by going to a trade school?

That's what I'm getting confused about. Are people who run businesses successfully but have no college degree still uneducated? Doesn't make sense to me.

Frownland

Well that'll happen if you miss the point yeesh.

That doesn't answer my question.

Probably because I already answered it. Think of it in terms of how a political scientist will quantify a portion of the population, not as a synonym for stupid.

I've never wondered why people get in fights with me. I'm a big boy. I also don't care. As soon as I hit the "sleep" button the internet *poof* goes away. Frowny, is his usual snotty nosed pretentious and dickish way hurled a volley across my bow. I responded in kind.

@Frown: Still don't understand. You can be educated without a college degree.

Frownland

Nah you're just over sensitive.
