Damn straight. Honorary degrees are BS, 100% BS.

On a side note, do you really think Cleets got his degree from working hard and being smart??? Hell no, he got one of them honorary things, or maybe he printed his off the computer, no one really knows for sure.

If Bob Dylan can get an honorary doctorate of music, then I think they should hand out the damn things to all of us :lol:

Then again, in all fairness, maybe POTUS Obama needs to hit the college lecture circuit and pick up a few honorary degrees...

...to beef up his resume when he hits the job market again in 2012.



Say, a technical degree in Restaurant/Hotel Management?

They are HONORARY...can't do anything with them (well, on second thought, just like a regular ASU degree)

Hmm... While it is true that the humor is of a common variety I do enjoy it when it's directed at others more than when it applies to me... for example Furman University :lol: in fact just saying the word "Furman" makes me laugh...

Much as I hate to admit it, I agree with Z on this issue, but, have a question. WTF did this "Jesus" guy ever do to be in a position for an honorary degree from any-fvcking-where??

I think the real issue is ASU's (justifiable) feelings of inferiority. Think of the embarassment if he refused it.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Yup, my alma mater, Cleets...
