I think this situation arises out of people confusing a liberal arts degree with a vocational education. Definitely, guidance counselors need to make the distinction clearer. As you point out, being employable demands a skill set, not just an education. A college education would ideally give you at least one core…

Yea. Sounds about right. I think the experience varies more by major than by school. At competitive engineering schools, shit gets crazy. At a first checkpoint meeting with my graduate teaching assistant on the semester project for a class, his exact words were, "If you bring me this shit again, I will fuck you so…

Sigh. When I tell friends im bipolar they just shake their heads and refuse to believe. "No way. Ive known you for half your life."

I think we see the cause for your refusal to accept reason here. If something happens to a black woman, SOMEONE HAS TO GO DOWN FOR IT. smh. sometimes shit happens. it wasn't her fault per se. apparently she was suffering from mental illness. but the actions of the police are reasonable in this instance. pick your…

can people stop trying to make brownface a thing. there was/is no phenomena of brownfacing. So when a fairer person darkens their skin a little to pretend to be Aziz Ansari, its just that. I dont think most Indian people or Aziz Ansari himself would be too bothered, or feel slighted by it.

woah. I think we have a storyteller in our midst. Care to flesh out? this is worth investing time in.

I dunno.. ive been like that sometimes cos im really hungry but hate eating alone.. "Whats for dinner?" could parse as "what are we doing for dinner" which is how i meant it.

woah there. you told your story on a public forum, but get upset at people ruminating on it?

matriarch at 40 is sad.. =/

wow. It seems like nobody else here on comments thinks that this person actually has a point. Odours and noises are definitely not useful in creating a conducive lecture environment, and it is a simple courtesy to ensure that your behaviours do not impede other people's learning experience.

You are missing Michael Kenneth, Jim Davies, and Corey Brown.

You might be best placed here to understand some of my other concerns (although im still conflicted about some of them). Do you agree that we should be intervening in prides of lions and encourage the males to contribute more to the daily maintenance and upkeep of the pride and stop the oppression of lionesses?

What about crops? They have needs too.

THE PLANTS DAMNIT! you keep forgetting the plants! equality for ALL.

What about the othering of plants. I demand that you stop plucking fruit or supporting any commercial activity that engages in such activity. This is akin to breeding livestock and then forcibly aborting them in order to eat the placenta.

We should also take care not to fall into the evil of kingdomism, making sure to treat species from plantae, fungi, protista, and monera fairly and humanely, just as we would species from animalia.

oh i totally understand. i was just stating. ahh.. i think i hit reply to your post, when i meant to just generally state that.

Ive come across black and latino people express the same sentiment today. Lets not pretend minorities are not racist. Or ignorant.

lol.. i dunno.. they've been coming to india for this for ages. we love it. =P

Im not sure how my diction there clouds my point.. explain perhaps?
