There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Originally posted by Donuthole View PostI agree that was more uncomfortable than I anticipated, but I can't decide how much of that is because we know about the fallout.

Fine, be outraged at the old guy wearing the Nantucket reds. Why does the college president need to be fired and why are there a bunch of chubby 18 year old coeds writhing on the ground in utter despair? You can swear they just watched the two girls one cup video. (I think I mentioned this video before a few years back. DON'T GOOGLE IT. If you're curious, look for the reaction videos on youtube.)Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

Admittedly, civil disobedience (and even law-breaking) can sometimes be justified. However, they cannot be justified when channels of advocacy, through fair procedures of decision-making, are fully open, as they are at our university,” the letter argues. “To adopt these tactics while such procedures for debate and reform are in place is to come dangerously close to the line dividing demonstration from intimidation.”
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Originally posted by Donuthole View PostThis is where we part. There is nothing that justifies the outrage; it was awkward and uncomfortable, but it was hardly malicious. However, I agree that his attire is appalling!
His appalling attire is all the more disrespectful since he fancies himself a fashion magnate. His exwife says he's stealing her ideas, which appears to be true, given his personal taste in clothes.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Do the right thing, Princeton: "The overwhelming weight of the evidence argues for rescinding the honor that the university bestowed decades ago on an unrepentant racist."
