re: aTm / Mizzou fans - Explain to us the tangible benefits of the AAU

Once again, your lack of knowledge on this subject is baffling, and it is completely unsurprising that you, like every other anti-research moron I have ever encountered, base your entire opinion on obscure studies from the liberal arts and social sciences that make up a very small percentage of overall funding.

Yes, a lot of those studies shouldn't be funded and that money should go to more worthwhile projects, but they are hardly indicative of the research that goes on at AAU institutions as a whole. The fact that you focus your entire argument on these outliers simply highlights why you are incapable of constructively debating this issue.
