Classic Question

[Tito]

I'm not sure if any of yous have ever been asked the same question but a few years ago i have and just wanted to know what your answers would be (post explanation for your answer)

If you were a father with two kids, one girl and one boy, from a developing country, broke (cheap/ money less) and you got lucky in tattsloto and you only had enough money to take one of your kids to college. Who would you pick the girl or the boy?

as i said earlier explain why you chose that answer.

ill take the girl and the boy will become a football player  :cheers: :dontknow:

It depends, i would pay for the child that is less smart, and hope that the other one would get good enough marks to get a scholarship to get into a college for free

[Tito]

this is under circumstances which you don't know which is smarter

i would take the boy because you wouldn't want to waste on someone who is most likely to become a housewife/husband and you don't see too many househusbands

Whoever is more ambitious

[Jono]

this is under circumstances which you don't know which is smarter

i would take the boy because you wouldn't want to waste on someone who is most likely to become a housewife/husband and you don't see too many househusbands

Then i would do it for the boy. Girls are ussually smarter, and work harder in school.

the boy, obviously. girls have no use.

the boy, obviously. girls have no use.

no need for sexism
but please explain

[sputnik]

its a fact. in many developing areas, girls are of no use, in China they killed girls, in Africa they had many children to get more boys to provide for the family.

and obviously the boys would exist is there were no girls unless women gave birth to fully developed women
that post was just stupid girls are equal to boys it may vary but most boys are pretty stupid compared to girls

[sputnik]

i have to say: duh.

the point of that post was about the point of this topic. sending a child to college. obviously im not sexist, or think girls arent equal to boys or have no use, but in the situation you described? of choosing a girl or a boy to send to college? in a developing country? i stick by my guns, in that situation, sending a girl to college is no use, their opportunitys are even less equal that in developed countries, it is a complete waste of your money.

[Tito]

i'm going to have to disagree with you again the girl could get a very job
while the boy becomes a bricklayer or some other job even tho i said the boy too because the girl will eventually become a housewife i still think its a 50/50 gamble
