Australians are a bunch of cow herders, and South Koreans aren’t human. Or so says the First Vice President of Iran, Mohammad-Reza Rahimi – according to the Daily Mail, that is.
In a speech that would have been more at home at a Nazi marching rally, he said of the British:
“They have plundered the world in the last 500 years and the young lad in charge now is even more stupid than his predecessor. It’s as if God has made this nation servants of America and Zionists . . . England has nothing. Its inhabitants are not human, its officials are not responsible, and it doesn’t even have any natural resources. [They are] a bunch of thick people ruled by a mafia.”
Rather harsh. True though, at least everything other than the part about not being human, but still harsh, even given the Iranian government’s usual animosity towards the British, whom it views as the Little Satan controlling the Great Satan over in the USA. But in defence of me and my fellow countrymen, we might not be the brightest bulbs in the box but the contribution our ancestors made to culture, science, and engineering is unparalleled. If ever a country’s people knew how to go forth, conquer, plunder any natural or human resources that may be of use, then fool the natives into believing themselves to have gained independence, it’s the British.
And is this noted intellectual not the same Mohammad-Reza Rahimi who claims to have a PhD from Oxford, but doesn’t? His other PhD being from Belford University – AKA a post office box in Humble, Texas, which ships out its “degree” certificates from the United Arab Emirates . . . .
This is unnecessary criticism at an online university. There is nothing wrong in acquiring a degree from any online university whether it is Belford or some other university.
I didn’t criticise online universities, nor did I say there is anything wrong with doing on online degree.
I said, or rather implied, that qualifications from Belford University are a joke, and they are. Any institution that’s prepared to issue a degree certificate within a few days of someone enrolling on a course, and/or offer PhDs based on “personal goals, lifestyle, hobbies, and travel” or ”participation in volunteer activities and community service” is not a credible education establishment.
The only people who believe a qualification from somewhere like that actually means something are those who’ve been foolish enough to pay for one.
