nor is it a skill set, or a degree.

True. Northern Ireland isn't even a country in the UK, either. But if you followed the logic, the UK would have to add the St. David's cross and not the Welsh dragon.

amen, brother/sister

he took shit for it because he's addressing the only measure (apart from metal detectors) the school system has enacted, and showing it as a flawed system. of course he's right.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. In the UK we still use miles, feet, meters, kms, yards, pounds and kilos... all mixed-up. The difference might be that we can roughly calculate miles to kms and pounds to kilos....

It gets worse. Just wait for that one single interview where you have the exact skill set, it's your dream job, and you've spoken to your competitors (other people applying) and you know they're not the sharpest tool in the shed.
This literally happened to me at 27. Went to the interview, did tests, shook hands with the big guy (the CEO) who literally said "I think we can start you next Monday". Only to not hear back from the HR person for 2 weeks. When "pushed" (i.e. phoned) the HR Person said I did not have the right skill set (generic answer for the unwashed masses).
Later I found out why. It was a politically-charged role (Embassy) and the person who took the job was the daughter of an Admiral in the Navy.
