I worked with some Chinese engineers.
Nice people.
But damn near worthless outside of their chosen area of expertise........and very narrow application within.
Read: no better than other foreign engineers.

Can only hide behind that cultural misfit/didn't understand crap for so long.

Lived in China for a couple years. While I worked there, my boys went to school there.

What you were seeing was the result of the education system. A system designed to output interchangeable worker units. Take two graduates from the same university, in the same engineering concentration. They will think identically, as they have been programmed identically. Out of the box what?

This is a huge reason why wealthy Chinese are sending their children overseas for education. They realize the shortcomings of their own system.

As to not challenging the totalitarian regime? Well it's also kind of bright to keep a low profile, when for literally thousands of years, to speak truth to power in China was a good way of not passing on your genetic material. Plenty of people still alive that survived the Cultural Revolution, and are telling their children and grandchildren to not rock the boat...

LIttle socialist bitch she is. Free everything, unless of course you happen to actually have a paying job you've slaved at for 40-years. If she gets free college education approved then I want reparations for the $130K I spent on my two kids.

The problem with Marxism is that is sounds so good and is simply entrancing when delivered by an attractive articulate person. Obama did much the same thing by giving snippets of his ideology while singing the praises of hope and change. She's a girl that knows how to get ahead and the democrat party will hang tight with her. It is an ongoing fight that we have had since shortly after our founding. There are some well educated people that should know better that have bought the proposition that progressive Marxism is the only answer and no amount of arguing will change their thinking.

Can anyone answer the question of how a lazy shiftless halfwit hippy that never held a job can end up a senator from Vermont and end up wealthy and a viable candidate on a socialist ticket? That girl worked for his campaign and she learned well.

A friend of mine worked in japan for a time and was surprised that their philosophy on education. They do not attempt to educate anyone beyond a certain point if they don't show potential. They are groomed for labor in the factories. No telling how many late bloomers are disparaged early on because of this. Some of our brightest have started out pretty slow for one reason or another.

Same thing was said about Obama. Make no mistake. She will be the next Obama. The left and the MSM will groom her, train her, and protect her until she's ready for the big stage.
I agree with MM, and sure didn't say such about Obama - said other things. The left and MSM very well may work on grooming and preparing her for the "big stage", but this country is getting past most of that syndrome - if they put her up, she will flop. That would be nice.

I used to drink heavily from my early teens through my twenties, so undoubtedly killed more'n a few brain cells wink

Smart: Having or showing a quick-witted intelligence.

Bright: (of a person, idea, or remark) intelligent and quick-witted.


Hey, about one billion Chinese would agree with everything this woman believes. You ever worked around the Chinese much?


Last I checked, this was about this woman's ability and future in American politics. WTF would I care about what chinese think of her beliefs?

Man, when a woman gets your attention, your ability to reason and use logic goes from poor to nonexistent.

I’ll say it again, her views and knowledge or lack-thereof reflect a whole generation, and she ain’t going away,

She has a weakness(s) and she has to overcome them.

She is Latino. If she defines herself solely as a Latino, she fails. If she does not come clean on her background, it will bite her and she will fail. She maybe was born in her riding and spent time there, but much of her growing up years were in upstate New York or Conneticut. Hardly a product of a borough.

She has lots of talking points, but she needs history and background and reason to become better.

She needs to tone down the angry. She needs to know more about life than subsidies and socialism. That strident socialist agenda will not be enough to win with the general populace.

Is she trainable, coachable? If not, she will not last long at all. She won a victory, but that only gets her name on the ballot. The real battle is the election.

She needs integrity, humility, honesty, and some more humility.

She reminds me of a left wing Palin. She quickly runs out of depth when confronted with serious questioning. The media will of course do their best to see she never has to face that level of questioning, but I expect that like Palin she will plateau much sooner than Obama who was a fairly smooth speaker and who could draw on enough education to BS his way past most questions.

Personally I hope Ocasio-Cortez becomes a model for the new Democratic party. Sure she will help them with some latino vote, but the total slide to the socialist left is going to keep alienating the middle, thats a path to survival for the GOP.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge

Yeah, I think is is quite likely, also.

She's way over her depth & I kinda doubt she has the ability/capability to make much of a swing...........especially in a short time frame.

I’ll remind you how you started this thread.

Quote

“She’s bright, articulate, motivated and on a mission and the MSM is gonna give her all the coverage she needs.
........
Here she is already saying all the right things”


You held her out as bright and when challenged, gave an example of her success in some science competition. I explained being smart doesn’t make one bright.

You change tactics and adjust the conversation to ,”well, she’s no different than a lot of millennial being uninformed etc “ (paraphrased).

Your love and support of this woman simply exposes that you have underlying support of some of her beliefs. You may not even realize it, but what she is proposing pulls at your heart strings all the while her looks are causing a stirring in your loins.

No I didn’t, I was pointing out she is typical of the majority of her generation.

Really? Which ones do you suppose?

Pretty sure he last “stirring in my loins” I’d felt was last year’s when the brown dog ticks on my dogs developed resistance to Advantix drops. Egad! Suddenly there were thousands, on me too. Fortunately the new 90 day pills hammered em overnight.

I did finally get to hear O-C on that Palestinian question interview. I’ll allow she sounded like an idiot, but once again.... so do most of her peers.

I think she ain’t going away, time will tell.

Didn't take long for her to stick her foot in her mouth.

She's pissed off the Israel firsters and lost CNN in the process.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/18/politics/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-democrats/index.html

excerpt:

Which leads to moments like this one, which occurred during an interview with Margaret Hoover for PBS' "Firing Line" in which Ocasio-Cortez gets herself into trouble when she starts talking about the Middle East and referring to Israelis who have settled in the West Bank as occupiers of Palestine.
