 Re:

This is a good scripture for the educational system in this country... all the way from Head Start to Grad School:

[b]Romans 1:22[/b] [i]Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...[/i]

I think it's interesting the word "professing" is used here. What do college teachers call themselves? Professors.

Nile,

Could you clarify what you mean by 'bogus'.

I don't understand.



Oh, hehe, it's one of my favorite words, although it is a bit obscure.

Here are the meanings:

bogus: adj.

1. Non-functional. “Your patches are bogus.”

2. Useless. “OPCON is a bogus program.”

3. False. “Your arguments are bogus.”

4. Incorrect. “That algorithm is bogus.”

5. Unbelievable. “You claim to have solved the halting problem for Turing Machines? That's totally bogus.”

6. Silly. “Stop writing those bogus sagas.”

So in this case, I was referring to how ridiculous/unbelievable/silly/wrong/lame the convocation was. In other words, the convocation was bogus.

Hope that explains!
