Half of Indiana voters are morons.

Edit - No, all Indiana voters are morons. They live in Indiana!

I would feel insulted if it wasn't true.

So far polling numbers are suggesting that Hoosiers listen to Limbaugh and are taking part in Chaos Theory. Stupid Hoosiers.

Voting on coroner confused me too.

[Akira]

yeah, surely a degree in medical coronology is like

sufficient

According to the letter the cool coroner dude gave me, the actual certificate is of "medicological death investigator."
4 srs.

Why is MSNBC blabbering about Indiana polls closing at seven? They closed at six.

[Dr Hooch]

According to the letter the cool coroner dude gave me, the actual certificate is of "medicological death investigator."


sounds sensible

time they started doing that for minsters

"****

the minister for science

does not know

any science"

EDIT:

ok he has a BSc in chemistry but still

I demand relevant degrees for all cabinet positions

[Akira]

Well our issue is that the last coroner we had actually was like that. He was a "doctor" in about the shallowest sense of the word, and he failed the certification exam like three times.

[Dr Hooch]

s'alright man

the system is broken


we're going to smash it with a hammer of hope

[BridgeToSolace]

Well our issue is that the last coroner we had actually was like that. He was a "doctor" in about the shallowest sense of the word, and he failed the certification exam like three times.

...Maybe that's what happens when you vote for a professional position.

You get people who aren't qualified >_>

God, it's like voting for a ****ing Doctor. That's not how that's supposed to work...

[Hababi]

Come On Hillary

Win Indiana

Go Hillary Go

[Akira]

WHAT THE ****?

14% in Indiana? No way.

I hate Hoosiers. I hate Rush Limbaugh. I hate Hillary. I hope you're happy Steve.


EDT: Okay, Monroe's not in in Indiana. That's good.

[Hababi]

WHAT THE ****?

14% in Indiana? No way.

I hate Hoosiers. I hate Rush Limbaugh. I hate Hillary. I hope you're happy Steve.


I will be

very happy

very very very happy

:D :D :D

[Akira]

It's good to know you have so much faith in your candidate that you think that the Republicans need to cheat to win.

[Reaganista]

14% wat
the republicans lost when romney and huckabee lost tho

[Hababi]

It's good to know you have so much faith in your candidate that you think that the Republicans need to cheat to win.

The whole operation chaos idea is something that I disagree with, philosophically, and didn't take part in when PA voted. But to say it's cheating is incorrect--it is legal, if unethical. Of course, I remember arguing that it was unethical when democrats were doing it to McCain in Michigan. And the defense was that strategic voting makes sense.

[Akira]

Well of course it's not cheating in the sense of being illegal. But it's completely unethical. And I'm pissed off at Hoosiers, because they did it. Republicans showed up en masse to a primary in which the Republican candidate has already been decided. It's just dirty.

Also, 50% of my state considered Wright to be an issue in voting.


I hate Indiana.

[BridgeToSolace]

14% wat
the republicans lost when romney and huckabee lost tho

That's her lead.

Note that the biggest districts in the state haven't come in yet. And the biggest districts have the most Obama supporters as well. She very well might win, but it wont be in the double digits, I'm sure.

Quote of the night so far, on CNN.

Soledad: "But how does it look when you go...down south?"

Guy: "It looks good!"

[Hababi]

Well of course it's not cheating in the sense of being illegal. But it's completely unethical. And I'm pissed off at Hoosiers, because they did it. Republicans showed up en masse to a primary in which the Republican candidate has already been decided. It's just dirty.


Also, 50% of my state considered Wright to be an issue in voting.


I hate Indiana.

Ah good. Hopefully that number rises to 75% in WV and Kansas. That's what you get, Barrack, for knowingly joining a radical racist church to get ahead.

[Akira]

Dude, you're a dick.

[Hababi]

Dude, you're a dick.

Hahahaha why so?

Check out the latest National Review. Stanley Kurtz has a cover article documenting the rise of black liberation theology and Reverend Wright(mare). He points out that the radicalism was an omnipresent in Wright's sermons and ideology--it's what led an exodus of prior members of the church 3 years after he became pastor, and another one in 83. It's what led Oprah Winfrey to leave after three years of listening to his crap.

And it's what led Barrack Obama to...err...stick around for twenty years:smoke:

[Iskandar]

Today it really struck me how much I like living in Canada, and how much I prefer it to the US.

Also, Steve, stop getting your opinions from National Review.

[Hababi]

Today it really struck me how much I like living in Canada, and how much I prefer it to the US.

Oh what do you prefer

The inferior cinema/music output
The crappy weather, besides Vancouver
The lack of a meaningful global contribution
Or letting xenophobic fascists run nuts in Quebec?

:D

[Hababi]

Also, Steve, stop getting your opinions from National Review.

The National Review is an outstanding publication. Even if you disagree with the philosophy, the writing quality is very high and the writers are very accomplished. Kurtz, who wrote the piece, has a doctorate in anthropology.

[Der Übermensch]

The inferior cinema/music output


If thats a criteria, then America ain't exactly tops either :p

[Amit]

yeah man america has definitely provided a meaningful global contribution

look at all the happy people who totally aren't dying and suffering right now in iraq and afghanistan!

[Iskandar]

The National Review is an outstanding publication. Even if you disagree with the philosophy, the writing quality is very high and the writers are very accomplished. Kurtz, who wrote the piece, has a doctorate in anthropology.Yeah, but it's still a neoconservative rag.

The inferior cinema/music outputIn a globalized world this is irrelevant.
The crappy weather, besides VancouverSouthern Ontario's weather is no worse than Pittburgh's.
The lack of a meaningful global contributionPeacekeeping and a model democracy?
Or letting xenophobic fascists run nuts in Quebec?The most left-wing province in Canada is run by fascists?

[Hababi]

If thats a criteria, then America ain't exactly tops either :p

America leads the world in garbage movies (well, actually India does but America puts out its fair share, too) but also in significant, major movies.

yeah man america has definitely provided a meaningful global contribution

look at all the happy people who totally aren't dying and suffering right now in iraq and afghanistan!

You mean to contend that the people of Afghanistan would have been better off living under the Taliban, or the Iraqis under Saddam Hussein?

[Iskandar]

I would say the people of Afghanistan are only marginally better off, and the people of Iraq are either no better or worse off.

[Amit]

afghanistan no (things have gotten better there true i'll give you that)
iraq hell yes

but seriously

all that we've done in iraq is get a bajillion civilians killed and create a fundamentalist beehive where there just used to be one secular dick

unless of course

america was seriously that intimidated by saddam's post gulf war I military :lol::lol::lol::lol:

all i'm saying is that it's approaching 7 years since 9/11 and we don't even have al qaeda on a plate

just one country that is barely alive and another country that is basically hell on earth right now

[Iskandar]

Afghanistan is somewhat more politically free, but still poor as hell.

[Der Übermensch]

America leads the world in garbage movies (well, actually India does but America puts out its fair share, too) but also in significant, major movies.


Quality - not Quantity man. Thus, Italy is the greatest nation on earth.

[Hababi]

Yeah, but it's still a neoconservative rag.

Actually there's a wide range of conservative thought. A few neoconservative, a few paleoconservative, etc.

Noting Obama's Wright problem has nothing to do with a specific brand of conservative thought.


In a globalized world this is irrelevant.

haha how so?


Southern Ontario's weather is no worse than Pittburgh's.

Pittsburgh weather sucks, so what's your point? We have Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware etc. all with great weather. You have Vancouver and the rest is dreary.


Peacekeeping and a model democracy?

San Marino is a model democracy, and Tonga contributes to peace keeping.

America has taken the leads. Canada has either followed or stayed home.

The most left-wing province in Canada is run by fascists?

Fascism isn't confined to either left or right.

[Iskandar]

Actually there's a wide range of conservative thought. A few neoconservative, a few paleoconservative, etc.Paleoconservatism is even more right-wing, isn't it?

haha how so?Because I have access to music from anywhere on my computer. Including Canada, which does have some good artists.
Pittsburgh weather sucks, so what's your point? We have Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware etc. all with great weather. You have Vancouver and the rest is dreary.I like the cold. It's invigorating. Puts hair on your chest.
San Marino is a model democracy, and Tonga contributes to peace keeping.Then they're ahead of America in those respects.
America has taken the leads. Canada has either followed or stayed home. We're not obsessed with having superpower status.

Don't confuse Saddam Hussein's brand of authoritarianism as being secular. And it was incredibly brutal. Rape rooms, giant paper shredders to throw people into, etc.

In the long run, Iraq will be much better off without Saddam. Already, much of the country is fine. Kurdistan is fine. There are a few trouble spots.


Quality - not Quantity man. Thus, Italy is the greatest nation on earth.


It's the quantity of quality films that sets America apart. Italy has had a few great directors but also puts out a lot of worthless dreck.


Afghanistan is somewhat more politically free, but still poor as hell.


Well when a bunch of backwards cavemen with uzis turn your country into the model of a 15th century Islamic state (but for aforementioned uzis and their vehicles), it takes a while to rebuild.

[Amit]

and i think it's silly to talk about national superiority in terms of music and movies when we're on the god damn internet in the age of broadband

[Iskandar]

Don't confuse Saddam Hussein's brand of authoritarianism as being secular.It was relatively secular, actually.

[Amit]

Don't confuse Saddam Hussein's brand of authoritarianism as being secular.

err

even though it was?

oh ok steve good call

And it was incredibly brutal. Rape rooms, giant paper shredders to throw people into, etc.

so? we've replaced the suffering of a few with the suffering of the entire god damn iraqi population

sure it sucked complete dick before

but after the american invasion, it sucks way more dick

In the long run, Iraq will be much better off without Saddam.

and after how many civilians and soldiers are killed? i'm not quite seeing the meaningful global contribution in all this unless your parameter for significance is bodycount and ill will towards america

Already, much of the country is fine. Kurdistan is fine. There are a few trouble spots.

uhh

[Hababi]

Paleoconservatism is even more right-wing, isn't it?

It depends on what you mean by conservative. Paleoconservatives tend to not like immigrants.


Because I have access to music from anywhere on my computer. Including Canada, which does have some good artists.

You gave us Nickelback. CURSE YOU.

So yeah, now you can get all the great American films and artists.


I like the cold. It's invigorating. Puts hair on your chest.

Colorless chest from the perpetual gray of the Canadian sky.

And yuck. Cold rainy weather is awful.


Then they're ahead of America in those respects.

No just on par with those measures and far behind in other ways. And you're like a bigger San Marino with hockey.


We're not obsessed with having superpower status.

Pretty easy when you don't have superpower status.

I would consider it essentially a right-wing ideology.

It's center-right.

and i think it's silly to talk about national superiority in terms of music and movies when we're on the god damn internet in the age of broadband


That just further enforces American pwnership.

[Iskandar]

Amit, come to Canada. Toronto could always use some more liberal, educated minorities.
Pretty easy when you don't have superpower status.Given that I'm opposed to a few certain nations having global hegemony, this is a good thing ... ?
No just on par with those measures and far behind in other ways.Canada is a stronger democracy than America with a better system of government and better social, economic and foreign policies.

[Amit]

That just further enforces American pwnership.

no it doesn't

it would be like saying...iraq (what a convenient example!) is better than canada because the weather is nicer

but if you could somehow enjoy the weather without actually living in iraq, then canada is way better

i mean

i ****ing love america and defend it all the time against all the cliche bashing it gets from foreign retards

but what i hate about america can often be found in domestic retards like steve

[Iskandar]

Iraq has horrible weather. It gets up to 50 in the summers. Israel and Palestine have much better weather.

[Amit]

ok well whatever god damn pedantic canadians

[Hababi]

Given that I'm opposed to a few certain nations having global hegemony, this is a good thing ... ?

Because most people see the benefit of leading democracies having power to influence developing nations, particularly to help development and democratization.

Canada is a stronger democracy than America

Same rating from freedom house.


with a better system of government

How?

and better social, economic and foreign policies.

Higher taxes, the epitome of how not to run a govt health care policy, the most pro-abortion law on earth, failing to take a stand for democracy and human rights around the world. Yeah, some success.



it would be like saying...iraq (what a convenient example!) is better than canada because the weather is nicer

Weather is a variable in the overall equation that illustrates how America pwns Canada. And weather counts. Finland may be a nice place with nice people, but do you want to live on a sheet of ice?

[Der Übermensch]

It's the quantity of quality films that sets America apart. Italy has had a few great directors but also puts out a lot of worthless dreck.
.

No. It's the %. America puts out more quality films in a year then Italy puts out films, but we also put out so much **** it isn't even funny.

Italy does great quality stuff buffered by nazi-snuff-porn :p

[Amit]

How?

america has the electoral college

complete and utter fail

Weather is a variable in the overall equation that illustrates how America pwns Canada. And weather counts. Finland may be a nice place with nice people, but do you want to live on a sheet of ice?

did you even understand the analogy

[Hababi]

No. It's the %. America puts out more quality films in a year then Italy puts out films, but we also put out so much **** it isn't even funny.

Italy does great quality stuff buffered by nazi-snuff-porn :p

By that standard Afghanistan is the best, because there's been basically 1 movie made in Afghanistan, by Afghanis, in recent years, and it was Osama, which is outstanding.

[Hababi]

america has the electoral college

complete and utter fail

If you understand the electoral college then you understand that it doesn't undermine democratic society.



did you even understand the analogy

ummmm yea

[Amit]

If you understand the electoral college then you understand that it doesn't undermine democratic society.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College#Losing_the_popular _vote

oh okay

i mean, doesn't that kind of go against the concept of democracy?

ummmm yea

then why did you post something that had nothing to do with the analogy

[beso negro]

Higher taxes, the epitome of how not to run a govt health care policy, the most pro-abortion law on earth, failing to take a stand for democracy and human rights around the world. Yeah, some success.

amen. cept the make a stand for democracy and abortion parts. Canada does have a better foreign policy i'll concede that.

[McP3000]

it was instated to make sure the larger states didn't overwhelm the smaller states, yet at the same time keep it somewhat proportional.

this is 9th grade us history

edit: @amit and electoral college

[Iskandar]

Because most people see the benefit of leading democracies having power to influence developing nations, particularly to help development and democratization.Your attempts to "democratize" the world are failing. This isn't WWII.
Same rating from freedom house.The same Freedom House which gets 80% of its funding from the US government.
How?The parliamentary system is superior, with more competitive elections involving more diverse parties and the ability to hold elections whenever necessarily.
Higher taxes, the epitome of how not to run a govt health care policy, the most pro-abortion law on earth, failing to take a stand for democracy and human rights around the world. Yeah, some success.Higher taxes which are needed to fund our social programs which we actually care about (and maintain higher equality, unlike the US, which has worse inequality than some African nations), the freedom to choose whether to have your own child, and lending peacekeeping forces and international aid around the world.

If you try to say Canada isn't a success, you're an idiot.

[Amit]

it was instated to make sure the larger states didn't overwhelm the smaller states, yet at the same time keep it somewhat proportional.

this is 9th grade us history

edit: @amit and electoral college

yeah it's really been great at keeping the prevention of certain states from overwhelming others and also keeping it somewhat proportional

really great

and steve have you ever lived in canada? it's ****ing great and if anything, it is a far greater success (in terms of actual livability) than america

unless of course you're a backwater total loser

[Iskandar]

I lol at Steve trying to convince himself that the USA is superior to every other nation because he's a good patriotic Christian American.

[Amit]

the only thing canada doesn't have are an abundance of uber internationally prestigious academic institutions (yes i know about mcgill)

but as evidenced by quite a few of my friends here who are canadian transfer kids, even that's not an issue anymore :lol:

it's a rather moot point though, since 99% of americans, especially the kind that share steve's sentiments, will never actually step into such institutions anyway

[Akira]

Don't confuse Saddam Hussein's brand of authoritarianism as being secular. And it was incredibly brutal. Rape rooms, giant paper shredders to throw people into, etc.

...are you saying that secularism and brutality are mutually exclusive?

[Iskandar]

Clearly they're not. But I don't think that was his intention.

[ringworm]

It's good to know you have so much faith in your candidate that you think that the Republicans need to cheat to win.
thats how they won the last one, seriously

[Hababi]

it's a rather moot point though, since 99% of americans, especially the kind that share steve's sentiments, will never actually step into such institutions anyway

Erm Pitt pwns your college in most departments, and I'll probably get accepted to wherever I apply for grad school.

[Hababi]

The same Freedom House which gets 80% of its funding from the US government.

Probably not even true, and even if it is, prove bias. In case you missed it, FH holds nothing back in criticizing key US allies. So yeah, save the stupid conspiracies.




Higher taxes which are needed to fund our social programs which we actually care about (and maintain higher equality, unlike the US, which has worse inequality than some African nations),

Inequality in and of itself is a meaningless measuring. Would you rather live in America, where there is high inequality but a very high standard of living, or Senegal, where there is less inequality but pretty much everyone is poor?

And other countries have much better health care plans. In fact, pretty much every other country that has national health care does it better.


the freedom to choose whether to have your own child

Erm every country on Earth provides that. Unless you can find me a country where rape is legal. Well a few middle eastern countries, along with Sudan and Burkina Faso are kinda loose on that but still..


, and lending peacekeeping forces and international aid around the world.

Insignificant contribution. Tonga lends peacekeepers, too.

[Iskandar]

Probably not even true, and even if it is, prove bias. In case you missed it, FH holds nothing back in criticizing key US allies. So yeah, save the stupid conspiracies.Oh yeah, key allies like Uzbekistan.

Is FH biased? Well, I don't doubt that its information is generally accurate, but there's no denying it's strongly associated with right-wing, especially neoconservative intellectuals and organizations.

Inequality in and of itself is a meaningless measuring. Would you rather live in America, where there is high inequality but a very high standard of living, or Senegal, where there is less inequality but pretty much everyone is poor?It says a lot that you have higher inequality than pretty much every Western nation.

And other countries have much better health care plans. In fact, pretty much every other country that has national health care does it better.The US doesn't even have a national health care plan. And really, what do you find to be so bad about Canada's healthcare? Do you actually know something about it, or are you just parroting the Fox News line?
Erm every country on Earth provides that. Unless you can find me a country where rape is legal. Well a few middle eastern countries, along with Sudan and Burkina Faso are kinda loose on that but still.I mean the right to decide whether to have an abortion or not, foo'.

[Hababi]

Is FH biased? Well, I don't doubt that its information is generally accurate, but there's no denying it's strongly associated with right-wing, especially neoconservative intellectuals and organizations.

:rolleyes: The information is accurate. That's what's important. They have their facts right.


It says a lot that you have higher inequality than pretty much every Western nation.

Yeah it says it's possible to get very rich in America, much more possible than in Norway.


The US doesn't even have a national health care plan. And really, what do you find to be so bad about Canada's healthcare? Do you actually know something about it, or are you just parroting the Fox News line?

The data supports the claim that Canada's health care system is a how-to of not to do it, nothing to do with Fox News.

I mean the right to decide whether to have an abortion or not, foo'.

Yeah but that's not "the right to decide to have a child or not." Any country that bans rape lets women decide that. Furthermore, any country that allows abortion at any point takes that to a different degree. Canada just finds it acceptable for doctors to execute nine month infants in the process of being born. Schmucks.

[Iskandar]

Yeah it says it's possible to get very rich in America, much more possible than in Norway.And the ability to get superrich is more important than economic equality? If you truly believe that, you disgust me.

The data supports the claim that Canada's health care system is a how-to of not to do it, nothing to do with Fox News.What data? Like this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Canada#Canadian_health_care_in_comp arison
Canada just finds it acceptable for doctors to execute nine month infants in the process of being born. Schmucks.Abortion is only permitted in the first two terms, so I don't know what you're talking about.

[Iskandar]

Poor Steve. He's just misguided. He hasn't seen the superiority of progressive politics yet.

[Reaganista]

lol the partial birth abortion ban is retarded they still abort babies at that time they just have to kill it in the womb instead of pulling it out and killing it which needlessly overcomplicates things

legal infanticide would help this country sort itself out a bit i think

[Amit]

Erm Pitt pwns your college in most departments, and I'll probably get accepted to wherever I apply for grad school.

that's a cute line steve

how often did you have to practice it in front of the mirror without laughing uncontrollably

sorry i meant to say

which interesting and significant departments does your university have that "pwns" my school

and since we were talking about prestige anyway, i'm pretty sure the JHU name still has just a little bit more brand name power than armpitt (lolol i'm steve and i'm making bad wordplays)

[Reaganista]

actually the good part about forums is it doesnt matter if ur laughing uncontrollably when you type stuff i amuse myself a lot so i know about this

[Amit]

that's not true!

if you're laughing uncontrollably than how can you type such tripe?!?!

[Hababi]

which interesting and significant departments does your university have that "pwns" my school

ummm pretty much everything except medicine, bio, and on the graduate level, international affairs.

[Seafroggys]

http://never7.net/pivot/entry.php?id=103

[Amit]

ummm pretty much everything except medicine, bio, and on the graduate level, international affairs.

oh okay wow such specifics! what about the entire field of engineering? i'm pretty sure jhu destroys (arm)pitt there as well

so basically your school is dominating all the unimportant and fluff departments that no one gives a **** about (unless you're going to go into specific fields of study and then maybe we can do some comparisons)

ok cool

by the way, how much money does your school get for its annual research budget? :lol:

[Grand Admiral Exodus]

can obama beat mccain cuz it looks like hes gonna have to

[Dr Hooch]

Oh what do you prefer

The inferior cinema/music output
The crappy weather, besides Vancouver
The lack of a meaningful global contribution
Or letting xenophobic fascists run nuts in Quebec?

:D

Inferior only in the genres of country and western

I would estimate that of the music I listen to, 2/3 was canadian

the rest is mixed pretty evenly twixt UK, 30-40's american and american

crappy weather is what makes a country

it was sunny yesterday here for the first time in weeks and the nicest day this year and the entire uni was out sitting on the grass

A lack of meaningful global contribution is better than a highly negative one, which is how the world sees you (and us, ofc, for being your ****buddy)

the only thing canada doesn't have are an abundance of uber internationally prestigious academic institutions (yes i know about mcgill)

but as evidenced by quite a few of my friends here who are canadian transfer kids, even that's not an issue anymore :lol:

it's a rather moot point though, since 99% of americans, especially the kind that share steve's sentiments, will never actually step into such institutions anyway

:lol:

I couldn't stand your american univeristies though

(I hear they make you take classes to become a balanced human being)

(I like the fact i'll leave uni without having to write a single essay)

oh okay wow such specifics! what about the entire field of engineering? i'm pretty sure jhu destroys (arm)pitt there as well


Not really, Pitt's engineering program is quite good, and as someone in the medical field, you ought to know this--Pitt's bioengineering, in particular, is world class.

In most cultural areas, Pitt pwns JHU. History, in general, Jewish studies, Africana studies, etc. how many foreign languages does JHU offer? Pitt has one of the best LCTL centers in the nation. Also, in philosophy and history and philosophy of science, Pitt is a leader.

Oh and Smokey, I think this is a much better measure:

Based purely on scanning through for English unis, I don't understand their rankings.

I couldn't be bothered to read how they did it.

Edit: Lol. It's based on the biggest website. It's basically www.googlefight.com

[Otherside]

Wisc Madison is a great university. They're probably the leader in American universities, in terms of scholarship on African history.

sorry but texas a&m over duke invalidates that list

also what really pisses me off about university ranking websites is the presense of NC State on any of them. I could have gotten into state with my SAT after you subtract 300 from them. I knew kids from my highschool with 2.2 GPAs that got into NC State. It's not prestigious in anyway way, shape, or form.

[Amit]

Not really, Pitt's engineering program is quite good, and as someone in the medical field, you ought to know this--Pitt's bioengineering, in particular, is world class.

hey let's figure out who started the entire field of biomedical engineering and is still the international leader in it

oh wait :lol:

In most cultural areas, Pitt pwns JHU. History, in general, Jewish studies, Africana studies, etc. how many foreign languages does JHU offer? Pitt has one of the best LCTL centers in the nation. Also, in philosophy and history and philosophy of science, Pitt is a leader.

just as i predicted

these are all useless things for dumb hued manatees majors who can't enter a real field of study

but yeah steve good luck with your africana studies major i'm sure you'll be really famous and important to the world

Oh and Smokey, I think this is a much better measure:
http://www.webometrics.info/top4000.asp

Pitt: 34
JHU: 42

nice you used a google fight website

your argument is rock solid

and how big is your annual research budget again?

if it isn't in the 10 figure range, don't bother answering

i mean, don't get me wrong, pitt, like most middle tier universities in america, is a great school full of wonderful opportunities for those who are highly motivated and intelligent (like yourself)

but it would be rather silly to compare it to an internationally famous institution like JHU or MIT

[PerpetualBurn]

If I recall correctly, House went to JHU and that's all I need to know.

[Amit]

not only that but:

Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 6,910,000 for johns hopkins university. (0.07 seconds)

vs

Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 4,960,000 for university of pittsburgh. (0.09 seconds)

bwned

[CarnageFairy]

Plus JHU is in Bmore and that's just plain ballin.


My friend went to the burn ward at the hospital when a rocket engine went off in his pants. They fixed him up all purty like.

Hey Steve, where's Pittsburgh at?

And I say that coming from a school that's markedly inferior to Pitt. Though it's still alright considering where it is.The moral of this story is...

yeah, UCL > JHU!

:p

yeah, yeah, I know. For medicine JHU is basically amongst the most respected, whereas UCL is mostly an arts and humanities university. Worse still that I'm doing a report at home because there's not enough library space down in london, but anywho, being in the top 10 when steve isn't in the top 75 is pretty sweet

[Iscariot]

Wisc Madison is a great university. They're probably the leader in American universities, in terms of scholarship on African history.

they should probably add a legal clause to that african history course informing prospective students that it is bound to be the most worthless cornerstone of their academic experience

unless of course they plan to be the next malcolm x

steve are you the next malcolm x

pfft, 126 kicks your ***!!! Although I'm not sure I entirely understand their ordering of canadian universities. Plus I'm not sure I want to stay where I am.

[Futue te Ipsum]

so yeah anybody go to one above 9th? /epeen

[RockAndRoll]

actually I'm doing disctance studies at all top 10.

... and I'm dean and head of a few departments at a couple more.

[Dave de Sylvia]

meddy goes to oxford :o

[Futue te Ipsum]

:(.

[Iscariot]

i go to harvard

[RockAndRoll]

Wait, York University isn't even on there, but the ****ing University of Manitoba is?

It is, but it shouldn't be, apparently york students are still unable to read a simple list.

[spitfirejunky]

What do you study exactly? I have some vague idea that it's medicine or chemistry or biochem or something.

Computer science and chemistry.

[Iskandar]

It is, but it shouldn't be, apparently york students are still unable to read a simple list.Where?

I don't go there, but I think it should be.

[RockAndRoll]

Where?

I don't go there, but I think it should be.

I believe it was 200 something.

[Iskandar]

And where do you go, O Wise One?

[RockAndRoll]

UWO, but like I said I'm not really sure I want to stay.

[Hababi]

these are all useless things for dumb hued manatees majors who can't enter a real field of study


:lol: Translation: Anything Amit is ignorant of is useless. Well, thanks for showing your ignorance. I suppose that everything outside of biology, neurology, medicine, and internet trolling are fake fields of study.

PS point stands about JHU being inferior to Pitt in those areas.

[PerpetualBurn]

My Dad can beat your Dad.

[Hababi]

my dad has a bigger research budget than your dad

[Grand Admiral Exodus]

im majorin in english at one of the world's best english programs im better than all u

[PerpetualBurn]

my dad has a bigger research budget than your dad

But you're not funny.

Intentionally, at least.

:lol: Translation: Anything Amit is ignorant of is useless. Well, thanks for showing your ignorance. I suppose that everything outside of biology, neurology, medicine, and internet trolling are fake fields of study.

sorry steve but in terms of prestige and opportunity, pitt's a cute little place but it doesn't really have much going against a place like JHU

PS point stands about JHU being inferior to Pitt in those areas.

PS point stands that pitt gets no money at all for research and that no self respecting grad school in the world cares about it even if it may have a better africana pubic hair studies department

[Iskandar]

whotf would study english you already speak engluish ffs unless youre one of those damned spic wetbacks

[Amit]

whotf would study english you already speak engluish ffs unless youre one of those damned spic wetbacks

humanities majors

it's like college with training wheels

[Iskandar]

uh oh you're one of those "humanities are worthless because they're not science" people

i should have known

[Grand Admiral Exodus]

humanities has viable branches of knowledge fool

and studying english tunes analytical skills among other things especially when employing theory

[Mr. Ron]

I'm majoring in English with a minor in history. I'mma' teach dem younungz

[Grand Admiral Exodus]

im not im gonna work at costco and slack off i just wanna say i have a degree to bitches

[Amit]

humanities has viable branches of knowledge fool

doesn't mean you need to major in it to pursue that knowledge

unless you're too scared of organic chemistry

http://web.centre.edu/muzyka/organic/lab/paraRed.gif

OH THE HORROR

[Iscariot]

I'm majoring in English with a minor in history. I'mma' teach dem younungz

lol have fun teaching 5 good students and 50 students who just want you to turn your back so they can raid your lunchbox and then go get stoned

[Iskandar]

/care

[Iscariot]

amit steve is just jealous of jhu because he applied and couldn't get in and the one time he toured the campus he was lured into the bushes by a black prostitute named monique and he contracted aids so now he's studying african history at pitt to try and unravel the source of aids and thus assist in finding a cure for himself before time runs out

[Amit]

i'm just going to post organic chemistry synthesis problems in response to anything steve says from now on just so i can mock his inferior intellect

[Mr. Ron]

lol have fun teaching 5 good students and 50 students who just want you to turn your back so they can raid your lunchbox and then go get stoned
Thats ok, as long as I reach the ones who want to learn. The other ones can work at McDonald's for the rest of their lives for all I care.

The school districts in my area pay pretty well, plus the benefits and all the PAID vacations.


anddddd I instantly have an advantage in the hiring process since males are very much sought after for teachers.

doesn't mean you need to major in it to pursue that knowledge

unless you're too scared of organic chemistry

js my buddy makes $16/hr working 40 hrs/week at the cattle feed plant and he gets full benefits and like 2 weeks of paid vacation days a year that pretty much owns teaching and it's a manlier job

[Grand Admiral Exodus]

being a hs teacher might actually be a pretty sweet gig you get summers off and recess wow

[Iskandar]

it's a manlier jobit's 2008 not 1955

[Mr. Ron]

being a hs teacher might actually be a pretty sweet gig you get summers off and recess wow

have fun working while I'm in Hawaii getting paid to do nothing. :wave:

[Iscariot]

it's 2008 not 1955

the ussr failed just give it up already

[Iskandar]

i'm sorry i feel like i violated our unspoken rules of communication

i dont get why you would make a communist joke is there a communist in here or something

[Hababi]

let's go through the list of the departments and bold the ones that JHU is known for:


Ummmmmm Pitt happens to pwn JHU in several of those categories.

It seems like you know very little about Pitt. So, read up, eh? http://residency.dom.pitt.edu/

http://www.anes.upmc.edu/Archive/News/2006/09/0609_NIH_Ranking.html

http://www.psychology.pitt.edu/documents/clinical_psych_rankings.pdf

The MLIS degree program was ranked seventh in the nation by US News & World Report in the magazine’s 2007 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools. In addition, the Medical Librarianship/Informatics Specialization at SIS was ranked #1; the Archives and Preservation Management Specialization and the Services to Children and Young Adult Specialization were ranked #4; Information Systems was ranked #5; the School Library Certification Program was ranked #9; and the Digital Libraries Specialization was ranked #10.


That's not even getting into how much Pitt pwns your history department. We have one of the ten most important figures in the field of world history, and possibly the number one professor and writer of war and American society in the country.

And Pitt offers roughly twice the number of foreign languages as JHU.

But yeah keep on pretending that your school is better than everyone else's :p


i'm just going to post organic chemistry synthesis problems in response to anything steve says from now on just so i can mock his inferior intellect


A robot can solve organic chemistry synthesis problems.

[Mr. Ron]

this is the biggest nerd fight I've seen in a while

[Iscariot]

i love how they're defending the honor of their universities

i also like how both of them thinks they're superior to the other because of the name of their college

[Hababi]

i love how they're defending the honor of their universities

i also like how both of them thinks they're superior to the other because of the name of their college

Oh no, I'm only (half) joking when I say Pitt pwns everyone else. My point is that Pitt offers an excellent education, as do a lot of other schools that aren't as expensive or impressive to the casual observer as JHU. Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Maine, Indiana University, etc. are excellent schools.

[Amit]

i never said that pitt doesn't offer an excellent education

and a robot can't solve organic synthesis problems unless pitt has suddenly developed a way to harness the power of ten blue gene/P supercomputers in parallel

JHU has been in a tie with the mayo clinic for #1 for like the last 5000 years so while your school is a great little place, it's not exactly in the same league

That's not even getting into how much Pitt pwns your history department. We have one of the ten most important figures in the field of world history, and possibly the number one professor and writer of war and American society in the country.

ya but being located off amtrak nullifies any good qualities they might have

Amtrack goes to Maine... Thats how i'm getting home next week...

[Mr. Ron]

If you don't die in a derailment

I'm sure you'll be fine, just citing amtrack's track record. :p

[BridgeToSolace]

damn straight. O, how my parents wish I went there instead of this monetary black hole... :p

Hmm...only one of my friends who applied there got in. Tons of waitlisted people.

I managed to get into Northeastern, though, so I'm good.

steve like i'm not being funny but

I like my uni

the physics labs were all rebuilt last year

I get on well with the professors

The teaching is mostly good


but i'm not going to start bitching at amit about how my school is better than his for tyre engineering or something

[Mr. Ron]

My community college kicks all of your uni's asses in the mortuary science department!!!!!

[guitrguy]

My uni's architecture program pwns nubs

[Mr. Ron]

I'm so glad I'm transferring to a 4 year college next year. Its going to be awesome.

[guitrguy]

Seriously. I have my tuition taken care of, and I already have an apartment to move into. I can start uni with out being ridiculously stressed.

Where are you transferring to?

Except that he's not McCain's spiritual adviser. He's a guy that McCain met one time and then said something nice about, without knowing much about him.

[Reaganista]

sounds like a very stupid thing for mccain to do

[Iskandar]

I heard "Iz-lom is an anti-Chwist religion" and turned it off.

[Hababi]

sounds like a very stupid thing for mccain to do

All the candidates have met plenty of colorful characters while campaigning.

Only one kept a quasi-Marxist, racist hatemonger as a mentor, adviser and friend for 20 years...

[Iskandar]

Where the hell do you get that he's "quasi-Marxist" from?

[Reaganista]

no i mean saying good things about somebody you dont know that could really backfire

Where the hell do you get that he's "quasi-Marxist" from?
preachers love marx

[Hababi]

Where the hell do you get that he's "quasi-Marxist" from?

Cone, whose theology is Wright's, and whose model is basically Marxist.

no i mean saying good things about somebody you dont know that could really backfire

Yeah I think McCain has learned his lesson now.


preachers love marx

Cone sure did. So do liberation theologists in Latin America.

[Iskandar]

Who the hell is Cone?

[Hababi]

Who the hell is Cone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hal_Cone

Check out the latest National Review, which has an outstanding article on black liberation theology.

[Iskandar]

Dude, nobody reads National Review here but you.

[Hababi]

Dude, nobody reads National Review here but you.

That's quite a shame. I read high quality publications from a variety of viewpoints (National Review and The New Republic, mainly). Everyone should.

[Iskandar]

I do too. I read The Economist and Foreign Policy although they're more or less right-wing.

[Hababi]

I do too. I read The Economist and Foreign Policy although they're more or less right-wing.

The Economist struck me as more or less like Smokey D--neoliberal economically, liberal socially.

[dei]

If it doesn't have pictures of girls with big tits, I'm not reading it.

[Iskandar]

The Economist struck me as more or less like Smokey D--neoliberal economically, liberal socially.It is. So is Foreign Policy.

Does Pittsburgh have any good newspapers?

[Hababi]

It is. So is Foreign Policy.

See, you need the National Review, socially and fiscally conservative. But the article is written by a guy who has a doctorate of anthropology; it's an outstanding article and it demonstrates just how disturbing Cone and Wright's ideology is.


Does Pittsburgh have any good newspapers?

The Post-Gazette is decent. The Tribune Review is more conservative and mostly not as good.

[Reaganista]

how is liberation theology compatible with marx

[Hababi]

how is liberation theology compatible with marx

Both are based on conflict theory dialogues and revolutionary aspirations. Read the article.

[Reaganista]

except in one the baby jesus solves all our problems

[guitrguy]

revolutions are bad

[Smokey D]

Liberation theology incorporates ideas of revolution and exalting the poor and the working class over alleged oppressors but I'm not sure how much it goes into the dialectic.

[Iskandar]

Class conflict is nothing new.

[Reaganista]

having ideas of revolution or exalting the poor isnt uniquely or specifically marxist at all

[Smokey D]

Sure but it's pretty obvious Liberation theology draws on Marx. It's not marxism but it is inluence by Marx.

[peeted]

I dont know specifics but i know a lot of liberation theologists are influenced by earlier neo marxists like Gramsci. You dont have to accept everything Marx said at face value to be a Marxist.

[Reaganista]

Sure but it's pretty obvious Liberation theology draws on Marx. It's not marxism but it is inluence by Marx.

is that a bad thing now

[Iskandar]

It's a bad thing if you're Steve.

[Smokey D]

I'm not Steve. I don;t think everything vaguely like Marxism is always bad.

[Reaganista]

bah he used to be further left than me he was influenced by marx somewhere even if he has fully committed to this republican act now

[Iskandar]

That explains a lot.

[ringworm]

lol, WOW

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/07/ap/politics/main4078587.shtml

(AP) What will it take for a Democratic presidential candidate to win the support of California superdelegate Steven Ybarra?

Say, $20 million.

The Democratic National Committee member doesn't parse his words when it comes to what he wants from Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton _ an ironclad promise to spend that heady amount to register Mexican-American voters and get them to the polls in November.

In a telephone interview Wednesday, he said he plans to remain undecided in the tight contest until "someone shows me the money."

When will he settle on a candidate?

"Nobody showed me any money yet," he said.





I also heard speculation that Hilary may step down from running, IF Obama paid off her escalating debt from the campaign trail. :/

[Reaganista]

That explains a lot.
wow ur really unobservant

[Dave de Sylvia]

That explains a lot.
Explains what?

[Iskandar]

Why you're such a neo-liberal.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm not really. Unless you categorise anybody who leans remotely right as a neoliberal.

[Reaganista]

ive finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road

[Smokey D]

Why not?

I think there are some benefits to Marxism if not in theory then maybe in practice (did I just invert the normal complaint about communism?).

[Iskandar]

I'm not really. Unless you categorise anybody who leans remotely right as a neoliberal.You lean pretty strongly to the right, don't you? As far as economics goes, anyway.
I think there are some benefits to Marxism if not in theory than maybe in practice (did I just invert the normal complaint about communism?).Yes, you did.

Nice.

I have a friend who breeds pits. I love those dogs.

I think I'm gonna get a Rottweiler soon, though. Or maybe a Boxer or Boxer/Mastiff mix.

[Iscariot]

pits are wondeful dogs they have such great personalities

my other dog is a rott/mastiff mix and she's a great dog too

she's too timid at times but she's about 9 years old so i don't give her a hard time for it
