Against the Law

[Rhoni]

You do know it is against the law to claim to be a Dr., PH.D, PSY.D if you aren't...don't you?

Blessings, Rhoni

Because states license individuals, it is up to the state to determine the law. Colorado just passed a law that makes it a felony to advertise, communicate, or represent any credential that one has not been licensed for, be it social workers, physicians, etc.

You can always tell the narcissim of some who post claiming to be Dr's to get a little respect they don't deserve.

That's splitting the reward money too many different ways. I'm only in it for the reward money. :ursofunny

I guess some may feel that what they actually have to say won't gain respect on it's own merit.

I don't get the honorary thing at all, from anywhere.

[Sister Alvear]

One thing for certain we sure have a lot of Dr´s out there...where all those diploma´s came from I do not know...however you can usely tell the real from the diploma mills...

[Mrs. LPW]

This reminds me of the old Red Skelton skit, where Clem becomes a Dentist.

[Cindy]

Imagine walking into a room at the doctors office and seeing his name on a diploma as a veternarian. He was wearing cowboy boots when he walked into the room. I must have had a strange look on my face, because he said I really am a doctor........he showed me his MD diploma, he was in fact both a vet and an MD. I said I don't care, you are not examining me. I left and waited until my doctor got back from vacation.

Why risk it when you can "buy" a fake degree?

And to think it only cost me 200 bucks and 20 hours of online correspondence!

So having a degree from the School of Hard Knocks doesn't count, I guess.

It absolutely counts...more than any Harvard degree! Many on this forum deserve a Dr degree!:friend

Yep - it definitely counts. No doubt about it.

What?

So it doesn't count if Bishop I.B. DaMann gives himself a degree from his church's bible school (First Overcoming Holy Tabernacle of Our Lord in the Most Holy Faith, School of Ministry)??!!

Mine is like having two house payments :crazy. I should have stayed uneducated and my life would be so much easier..I could work at Wal-mart and drive a 10 year old rattle-trap:evilglee

Hey, one good thing about a Bible College education is that I do not have Student Loans to pay back. :nod:icecream (And I still drive a rather nice vehicle and have a great job.)

Our loan payment is one half of our house payment, which makes sense since our student loan total is almost exactly half of our mortgage.

[jaxfam6]

I know, right. He is a doctor but.......I'm just saying.:aaa

where you afraid he would mistake you as a horse or a goat or even a goldfish or something?

[Rhoni]

It really is against the law to put credentials behind your name without having earned them. I think is strange that Mr. Vaughn was checked up on and so vehemently attacked when other, considered reputable, posters have done the same and continue to do the same with no admonishment.

Just my thoughts on this matter.

[dansamy]

Most state boards of nursing have regulations about the use of the title "nurse". As such, we were only allowed to refer to ourselves as "nursing students" when we were in school because "student nurse" would have implied we already held a nursing license and were pursuing a higher level of nursing.

Well THAT is certainly interesting....would that go for self appointed REVERENDS too? Then again who determines who is actually a minister? The state? Some denomination??? Some college or government board???? Boy can I see that getting into some uncharted waters!

[seguidordejesus]

For all those who have student loans, check out www.ibrinfo.org for information on how the government will pay off your loans. This is not a scam. It made my day :)
