he is not a professor your friend is misinformed

"Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track."

That is from the University of Chicago Law School. 

I don't know if you have ever been to university but many professors are not full time or tenure track as they have obligations in their research or in politics that take up most of their time. Anything else you want me to disprove?

I personally don't know the difference, but the article I posted before says there is a difference in terms of academia...so technically saying he wasn't a professor isn't a lie, but one could say he was, and you really wouldn't be wrong either...what difference does it really make if he was a professor...it just makes me think that much less of him.

I'm going to go with the Universities direct statement on his status instead of a news outlet. The reason i even bothered stating that is because another user was stating fallacies about him that could be proven wrong. 

What do you have against professors? You do realize that the computer your sitting on, the medicine you take, the surgeries you have and your life of comfort is all because of people that were involved in academia and the sciences. This stupid view that uneducated people know more about a subject than a scientist in the same field is the reason why our country is falling so far behind in education and science.

I hate people that try to play off their opinions as facts even though they don't know the first thing about the subject, a good example being evolution or economics.

I see your an expert on everything.  He is not a professor 

And I don't need you to tell me what professors have done in the past. 

I do know that a lot of them lack real world experience. Everything in the classroom is perfect and antiseptic and all of their ideas come to fruition.  But drag it out of the classroom and it isn't so perfect anymore.

President Obama was not vetted and now he looks lost.  And without his teleprompter he sounds just as dumb as Bush did. And the my point stands  press did not do the job they were supposed to do.  The only outlet that did a half hearted attempt was Fox news.  

And I won't even comment on the job cnn,msnbc did on the mid-term elections.  Fox news was balanced out with libs and Conservatives.  While MSNBC were like walking into a drunk frat party
