[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought English majors were people who weren't strong in any other subject area.  I didn't consider them "not smart," but I assumed they weren't well rounded, and couldn't "cut it" in a "real major."[/quote]

Well since assumptions are almost always right, particularly when they about vast groups of people, yours must be spot on.[/quote]

OP asked a question and I answered.  I didn't say I was correct, just what I thought.  If they can get a job that pays well with an English major, then what anyone else thinks is irrelevant.  Heck, it's irrelevant even if they can't find a job.

Wow.

[quote][i]"I didn't say I was correct".[/i][/quote]

Well, that sure is helpful.

What other wild speculation you can't defend and has no use or purpose would you like to proffer?[/quote]

You obviously don't understand the meaning of the word "considered."  OP asked if English majors are "considered" smart.  I responded with how I viewed them. That's what considered means. OP didn't ask for facts backed up with supporting data.  My "wild speculation" specifically responded to OP's question.  Sorry you have a problem with my direct response to the question posed.  [/quote]

What I have a problem with was well explained in my two prior posts.  [b]No one asked YOU for YOUR opinion[/b].  Also, it was a purposefully inflammatory trollbait question and you barged into it like a puppy down the stairs. You should stop. [/quote]

Sorry, but you don't get to dictate who gives their opinions on a public discussion board.  OP asked a question on a public board.  By doing so, she opened the discussion to ANYONE interested in responding, including ME.  You don't like my response? Too bad.  That's what I think.  I think philosophy majors are incredibly smart and would have said so if that's what OP asked.  OP asked about English majors, so I gave my opinion on them, which seems to have made you very defensive and unhinged.  [/quote]
