You're nothing until you've been promoted to Dickmatizer.

-2 cups of coffee. That's all.

It shows...

But really, though....

I'm for whatever my girls wants to give me.

So, basically, you had a substandard education.

I vote big dick

That's not a compelling argument when the point of said stopgap evaporated once all citizens were allowed to vote. Also... You don't need to tell people to look up something that they learned in high school government.

You platform fuck all girls?

Those people are lying.

is policy have money

Because you money had.

I wouldn't vote for you.

Not a competent musician. Anyone who's ever picked up an instrument knows that inspiration comes from obscure sources, and even if they disagree with the musical choice they know not to interfere with his or her preference.

That's what music should be about. I feel bad that people are trying to take that away from you.

That's an interesting mix, actually. What speaks to you about either band?

Great news! You get to spend your vacation unplugged!

It seems to me that a lot of the people that are the most aggressive about what music is acceptable for other people are those who have no musical inclination themselves. You don't need to be a musician to appreciate music, but those that are quick to criticize tend to also be those who have never participated in music creation in any form. @GuyBeardmane: What's your favorite artist?

It's surprising how personal music choices can be. I don't have many little things that bother me, but I can be pretty unreasonable when people misinterpret my intent and turn something I intend to be helpful or innocuous into an attack on them.

Nothing wierd about that headboard. I'd be more worried about what the mattress is than what the headboard is.

Airports early in the morning have the distinct feel of purgatory. Not Kona airport, though. It's completely outdoors; you can smell the jet fuel.

So, you think that the system as it is now is fair?

Not sure where you see an apology in that. I am being dismissive, but I certainly don't indicate that the there is anything acceptable about either the cheaters or the schools that enabled them. It's just that this correcting this is meaningless in the grander scheme of ills plaguing higher education.

What apology are you talking about?

..... apology? At any rate, i was reading an LA Times article this morning about a kid out of Vermont Vista who's valedictorian at his high school and he's struggling to get financial aid together so he can go to USC or UCLA. A big part of the article is how he's had to rely on free resources provided by the universities themselves, non profits, and even LAUSD, with the kicker being the last line... The reality is that getting into a top level university isn't something you get out of your own sweat equity. Even the rich kids who don't buy their way into the university the old fashioned way have access to schools like Harvard Westlake where the tuition covers not just education but resources like college counselors, dedicated test prep, and better educated faculty. The fact that a smart kid who can't afford test prep has trouble on his SATs is emblematic of how the system is designed to cater to people who pay into the system. Chances are, though, had he paid into the system and legally bought his way to high SAT scores, universities would be clamoring for him because of the dearth of minority students that universities can parade around for their own edification. Cynicism in the system starts and ends with the realization that it's always been about who can be made into a qualified candidate. It's depressing just to think about it.
