this afternoon on a bicycle outing i was screamed at with much intensity by a large mixed-gender group of hispanic teenagers with small children. this, among other experiences, has led me to believe that the likelihood of an individual being violated in some manner has not so much to do with whether the individual herself is a) gendered, b) of some

*sigh*

People can be crude...etc, regardless.

College doesn't magically transform people.

Look at the Republican party.

Look at the teabaggers.

Hell, look at the Democrats.

Yes, it can help to 'refine' oneself...at times, but...MANY highly educated women have said things to me and or put a move on me...

...but it's different for guys. Generally speaking, I think it's cute (if rude at times) but I find it disgusting when guys act like that towards girls.

Sorry to get a bit off track, but Obama is a fucking corrupt war mongering idiot, yet...he is highly 'educated'.

This is from his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech:

------------------

We must begin by acknowledging the hard truth that we will not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes. There will be times when nations - acting individually or in concert - will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified.

I make this statement mindful of what Martin Luther King said in this same ceremony years ago - "Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones." As someone who stands here as a direct consequence of Dr. King's life's work, I am living testimony to the moral force of non-violence. I know there is nothing weak -nothing passive - nothing naïve - in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King.

------------------

He referenced Gandhi and King in context with saying that it's 'morally justified' to be at war...........................

'...I am living testimony to the moral force of non-violence.'

Yeah. Then why is he sending more troops to Afghanistan...?

Oh the irony to say such things whilst accepting a fucking PEACE prize...

Whatever.

college education doesn't equal wisdom, but at least it makes for a richer vocabulary.

Katie...pardon the meandering quality of my words. My frustration with dealing with 'educated' fools as of late has bled onto my reply to your post.
