Posted on 04-13-07 02:22 AM, in If Imus was black, there would be no controversy about his "racist" remarks Link
I think this is more of an issue of position in society. Blacks and Hispanics and women, even, are effectively treated as second-class citizens. There isn't too much effort for reform and changing this, but society still frowns upon kicking someone--or even some peoples--who are already down.

To provide an alternative non-race example, consider a classroom. As many of you may know, there are these things called tests. And oftentimes, there is a good part of the class who bomb these tests. It doesn't sound rude at all for one "bomber" to joke to another how awfully the other did on the test, with the mutual understanding that neither of them is in a better position. But if someone aces the test, and then does the same to someone who flunked it, it might easily be construed as quite offensive, because of the discrepancy between the two parties.

Sound plausible?

Actually, I'd like to note that The Economist, NPR, BBC, and C-SPAN are very accurate news sources, for the record--sorry, I don't watch CNN or any of that nonsense.

I'd like to point out to Vulkar that there is no universal equality. Most pacifists don't intend to explode buildings.

I was just pointing out that in modern-day America, there is still a great deal of social and economic inequality between white men and minorities and women. Women and minorities still earn less for the same job, and have lower paying, lower ranked jobs in general. Stop pretending that everyone's equal, Vulkar.

Posted on 04-28-07 08:48 PM, in school and grades Link
I still don't understand why homework is graded. Or why there aren't rankings.

Credit-wise, I've already graduated, except I have to take four years of English, which cannot be taken except at school.

Argumentative essays aren't useful. Persuasive essays are.

Also, college is messed. Listen to this. A transfer student who gets a 5 (max grade) on an Advanced Placement examination only receives half of the credit as a freshman who gets a 3 on the same exam. Awesome, huh? Can you say 40 units > 20 units? =(
So best case scenario, I'll need 3 years to finish undergraduate, and I'm losing a year because of credit overlap. And that's best case scenario. Worst case is that there's a credit overflow and I'm not allowed to transfer. How messed up is that?

And you thought you had it bad.

Thats sick. How can you make something so brutal and horrible into an advertisement to win a PS3 that you aren't going to win anyways. I'm surprised at that really.

I laughed.

Panda Man, while you are allowed your opinion, and allowed to voice it as long as it doesn't flame people, I'm not sure that many people, including me, would agree with you on that subject.

However, I fail to see how you can be happy to hear the information that he murdered thirty-two innocent people, none of them deserving of death, and all of them with a future ahead of them. Now, I'm going to aruge on your terms as to why their death was bad. See, while everyone dies eventually, and death is enevitable, these people have potential to the world.

One of them could have cured cancer, another could have invented a new type of supercomputer, and others might have helped people who need it. So, these people had potential in this world, and because they were murdered, their potential is taken from this world.

So, now you can see yet another reason to not feel happy when people are murdered.

I was thinking more of the intrinsic value of a human life. Would it be any less tragic if the people killed were just normal people?

I wouldn't kill Hitler if I had the chance to go back in time to do it. It was part of the course of history, and I don't want to undo those past things. My grandpa was born in Norway during the final year of WWII. For all I know, he may not have come to Canada, thus me not being born, if I were to kill Hitler? This is of course among the others things that have arisen from the second world war, positive and negative. Yeah, the death of so many people is tragic. But it happened, and I wouldn't change the past. Unless of course, the Earth was destroyed by many many nukes going off by one man. The whole human race dead? Well, there really isn't much of "living on" past that, so I probably would take that shot at the nuke guy.

But that's beside the point.

As for the Virginia Tech thing, lots of people have lost their lives, the guy was nuts, and it's quite horrible. No way should so many young lives be taken. But they were. Stuff like this will continue to happen for all time.

If by some chance we end up as a crime less society like in Demolition Man, well, for anyone who saw that movie, it was a pretty lame life.

Do you know who killed Hitler? Hitler.

As for the people that God killed: 1) We are his creations and are supposed to live by his laws. 2) I see nothing wrong with getting rid of the people that have no chance of getting to heaven. Leaves some space for the rest of us 3) I don't think God kills anyone without first providing some warning. Come up with a story if you can but I think this holds true.


I don't think this claim is very theologically sound.

You make the mistake of assuming that there is racial equality to begin with. That is all.

I was just saying that most people who claim to be speaking in lieu of God have some sort of evidence or ethos on their side. Unless you can present God to affirm you, that is.

Simply, your argument isn't self-explanatory and someone might just as easily say God hates people and kills those he doesn't like. Nothing personal.

Posted on 05-25-07 09:08 AM, in Lost my Scholarship of $12,500 Link
If it's a need-based scholarship, you should look out for other ones that you are applicable for, since you'll probably have some luck with them. It's more dependent around your college for that, but look for local scholarships.

If it's a merit-based scholarship of that magnitude, I'd think they'd be rather stringent with the grades, as it's kind of expected. I'm assuming that if this is so, you're applying for the Webster Scholarship, no?

But for internships, again, look for stuff through your college. I hear it's a bit easier if it's for need-based situations rather than someone who can just take out a loan, but I don't really know the specifics. You could always just get a job over the summer. $2500 in three months shouldn't be impossible, but you'll have to find somewhere that pays around $10/hour, I think, and you'll be working for most if not all of the summer.

Posted on 05-26-07 11:42 PM, in "We'll work out something baby, I promise..." Link
If you have it, try Craig's List? Otherwise, the classified in your local newspaper is a good place to look. Just to try to help out, you have work experience, probably under PR, from what I gather. Where I live, office experience is more useful, but look around.

I'd say I know how you feel, but I don't.

My dad's a jerk sometimes, and around rarely, and talks to me even rarer, and we converse once in a blue moon, but he doesn't do crack, which is good, I guess.

My applications for jobs are out, so I'm just finishing up school, looking for cheap books for college, and not thinking about what I can't effect.

Well, I wouldn't say it's okay, since she did know it's vandalism. And forget public school, private schools might be more touchy about vandals. The private school I went to might not expel someone fitting this profile, but they'd get a pretty hefty punishment.
Also, related article: "Missing 12-Year-Old Girl Found Dead." :O
