Do you remember all of the criticism of Jill Biden for using the title of Doctor? Critics contended that it was completely improper for a PhD to use the title in a non academic setting. So how many times have you heard or read “Dr. Kissinger” in the past week? I wonder what the difference is.

Yes.



I wouldn't take that literally.

Likely related to nepotism.


Such as, being Mrs. Biden.

Part of the difference is he isn't using it, the people telling his eulogy are using it. FWIW I agree, you do not use "Dr" unless you are some kind of medical doctor.

AMS, I thought you were pretty young. Do you even remember Kissinger? I am much older than you I believe and I barely remember him in his different positions.


He was just a figurehead by the time I was born. But I’ve been hearing about his atrocities all my adult life. And he just kept hanging on, like a cockroach. Now he’s gone.

We would expect low educated individuals to feel this way.

I don't believe in using any titles outside of the workplace. I have had the pleasure of meeting our own Soopoo and would never refer to him as doctor unless he was supply me with Propofol.

Showing the tilted news bubble you live in again AMS. He won the Nobel Peace Prize and accomplished more for the US than anyone since. He was also ruthless and was not a nice man. You can thank him for a lot of the stability in the world and the spoilt life style that you were able to grow up in.

At this point, I don’t consider you to be a very smart person. Probably in the bottom quadrant. This view is expected from you.

You cannot always be nice and get the job done. FDR rounded Americans up and put them in concentration camps during WWII. Probably needed to do it, but nice?

Duffman seems pro-concentration camps.
