| Much obliged.
Though I'm not sure where you got the future college professor from.

I was exploring philosophy a while ago and teaching would probably be the only option for such a degree, minus becoming clergy or executive work; both of which I'm sure you could imagine I'm not very enthusiastic about.

Have you considered going to law school?

I can understand indeed how you would have trouble with scriptural comprehension. What you presented is a "responsive retort" not a presentation. The topic indeed was Golf, not socialization of the masses. Perhaps you should have picked your social friend from the crowd that tried to box and package all those that practice the game of golf as social snobs, I merely pointed out that social elitism is true snobbery. Just ask, people like Mr. Obama, John Kerry, Madam Chairperson, Teddy Kennedy. I have more respect for people like Dennis K. or Barney Fanks, at least they do not present the appearance of condescension, and you know where they stand. This is worth the respect, I do not agree with their ideologies, but I respect the constant way they present them, as noble opponents not snobs that actually believe that their social position or education makes them better people. Of course you would not be found guilty of snobbery, now would you....judging from the picture that you have "chosen" to identify and hi-lite your posts with.....PRINCE. (R)

I am English, therefore I am superior to anyone of any other nationality, and so I can understand your envy.
We English aren't prejudiced, we hate everyone else equally.
BTW when will you respond to my last post on the capital punishment thread, where you try to make the case that capital punishment is scriptural, and that all governments exist with God's approval?
In a thread about golf this is really "off the fairway".
