    If I go and get a degree in math and then start telling everyone because I am an expert with this degree 2+2=5, then yes they should take away my degree. Just for the same example if I got a christian religious certification and degree and started telling everyone jesus never existed then yes they should take away my ability to use them to certify I adhere to their standards.

    This is how it should work with degrees and certifications. You use degrees and certifications to say you have an understanding of that material and abide by the factuality within. Those things are for the public issued by the people who control it to say this person is certified by them to know and act upon the knowledge and standards we say. If you stop, then it should be revoked.

    This is how this shit works.

    Certifications and degrees are specifically issued by the issuer because that person knows and abides by their knowleges and standards. If the boy wants to whine because they don't just give him a doctorate despite him saying everything that is against that doctorate program, and that is fascism, then I guess maybe that is a tolerable fascism because none of us want an idiot like him being a doctor of some science because we rely on that shit being somewhat accurate when listening to the person with that title.

    I have seen what happens with people who are unreliable with their certifications and degrees, and we really do rely on these things being somewhat accurate because we don't want the sammich maker working in the ER at the hospital.

    No... he's a money loser for the UofT
    he damages their brand

    they're obligated to employ and pay him, and are meeting that obligation.


    his professional regulatory association can do as they please with regards to licensing. that's the purpose of having such organizations-to accredit the credible or discredit the incapable.

    sounds like a functional and free country with a dash of free association and market to me...

    Hate to have to keep saying it, but they get it when it's a gay wedding cake.
    Or Elon pretending to be a free speech absolutist, and banning leftists, or just plain critics of Matt Walsh.

    How many books has the right banned, and how many drag shows have had to have been cancelled over Ron Descumbag trying to impress the right so he can run for president? How many billions have already been pissed and taken away for his strategy?

    How many women have lost control of their medical care and have had their health and life threatened by a diseased birth that would never have been viable, just to satisfy some whiny christian fictional god who isn't even against abortion?

    Even if there was a law against misgendering someone or using the N-word to insult someone, which there isn't, doesn't that seem maybe they are not equal in value? OMG UA and FF have to say black and not the N-word. OMFG the horror of it all.

    Don't forget the violent nationalism and racism.
    Oh, right, you have to forget it, and hope we do too.

    If that's the case then let's see a public statement from UoT where they give their reason for revoking his license.

    What corporation merged with the state in Nazi Germany? Or with Mussolini's Italy? Or with Franco's Spain?

    No, motherfucker, Germany, Italy, and Spain were full on fascist, full stop. And Merriam-Webster fucking disagrees with you.

    Mussolini wasn't a lion, he rolled over and showed his belly to Hitler. The Nazis were fascist. C'mon, historian, stretch those mighty academic muscles... there must be at least ONE example of state and corporate merging you can come up with from Nazi Germany?

    Arthur Schweitzer argued that the Nazis actually destroyed the four pillars of capitalism:

    Yeah, and I said that the only way Jordy Peeps could lose his degree was if it turned out that he cheated to get it. I’d ask if you were going to claim that Jordy Peeps had cheated to get his degree, but that’d require you to know WTF you’re talking about. Which you don’t.

    Jordy Peeps might lose his license, which is vastly different than losing one’s degree. Honestly, if he does get his license pulled and he can’t figure out how to use that to make more money than he is now, he’s a fucking idiot.

    the UofT didn't revoke it... they aren't the licensing body.

    I mean, not that it's a common occurrence, but the Catholic Church DO occasionally defrock priests for kiddie-diddling.

    FF thinks that's wrong.
