[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people boasting about their PhDs and high fallutin' degrees should hang their red faces in shame that they don't know Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations.[/quote]
I think we prove the point that it made no difference in our ultimate success.

but, let's assume you are right, that knowing Dickens [b]authored[/b] Great Expectations, is essential knowledge.... why would you insult or judge someone for not having read this in high school when his/her high school didn't require/offer it?  It's not a personal failure to have gone to a high school where it wasn't part of the curriculum.  One can presume that those who graduated with various advanced degrees did, in fact, learn to read and analyze complex material (even if they didn't take a test on Great Expectations).

The judgment being levied by OP and others reflects poverty of character.  I'd rather have missed the lesson on Dickens than missed the lesson on consideration and humility.[/quote]

He wrote it. And you're boring. Time to shut up.[/quote]
