Question for Irishbobcat

[irishbobcat]

This election is not about diplomas or degrees, but about Bob Hagan defending his record or lack of record of success in Columbus for the past 2 years and 20 years.

Bob has the burden of proof to defend why he should be sent back to Columbus.

We all know John Cooper couldn't defend his record against Michigan.....

Can Bob Hagan defend his?

Or is Bob Hagan the John Cooper of Mahoning Valley State Representatives?

Bobcat, if you were smart, you'd pounce on the fact that Hagan only has a diploma from Ursuline.. Perhaps throw out the scenario what Bobby Hagan would be doing if he wasn't in politics.... Perhaps working with Thomas the Tank Engine??

I have only seen the term "degree" pop up lately regarding high school diplomas from on-line computer schools who liek to use the term.

Plus, on most job applications, when they want you to list all of your educational backgrounds, they usually ask for your high school and college information at the same time....so they have a space listed for degree-which is really meant for your major area of study in college-and thus some people now refer to high school diplomas as degrees.

I know that Junior Colleges, Colleges, Universities and some Trade Schools offer degrees, but since when is a High School deploma a "Degree"? When and why did people start using the term, and what title is confired?
