Trojan condom commercial.

Today on A&E I saw a commercial that said 1 in 4 people with HIV don't tell their partner that they have it because they don't know they do - then the commercial went on to plug Trojan, and showed a man kissing a woman

Matt, please, you don't need me to get your hands on a peer-reviewed paper for a world renowned sociology conference that proves that black males in America are more likely to end up in criminality.

Maybe male-female discrimination is a better example: I'm sure genetics could prove at lot of things, but that doesn't give you the right to be a chauvenist pig.

I've been really disappointed in you lately, Matt, your ideas border very closely on nazism. And I don't need to tell you that all nazi ideals were supported by scientific proof back in the day. That doesn't make things right.

I am also extremely disappointed in your academic performance. I asked you to proof-read my paper that I am submitting to the single most famous computer vision and pattern recognition conference. You weren't even able to detect blatant spelling mistakes. I asked other academic friends of mine to review the same paper, and their comments and corrections were a world of difference with yours. I may as well never have handed you this paper, because your help was zero. nada. zilch.

(sorry 2 b the 1 2 break this 2 u)

so please take a step back with your academic claims, it's very condescending and narrow-minded.

LOL!!! @ "blatant spelling mistakes". Give me a break, there were none. Although I do acknowledge that this paper of yours has to be at the highest standard. I looked at it at an undergrad standard so some slight imperfections didn't cross my mind. In hindsight, yes, there were some flaws, but "blatant" is ridiculous and untrue and I want you to take that back!!

"Matt, please, you don't need me to get your hands on a peer-reviewed paper for a world renowned sociology conference that proves that black males in America are more likely to end up in criminality."

There was another peer reviewed paper which proved some differences between races, e.g., that some races are more intelligent than others (something along these lines). The studies were ironclad and were considered racist by many. I'm not sure why though? If black males were somehow genetically programmed to be more criminal, it doesn't mean I would judge them on an individual basis. If it was indeed a genetic fact, why is it wrong to acknowledge that? I'm not saying it's a fact at all, just using it as an example.

btw, when are you submitting your paper? I was so impressed with it that I wasn't even paying attention to the minor errors it contained. I can go over it more thoroughly tomorrow if you wish.

Are you fucking kidding me?

blatant:



I'm sure that John would have caught this one. The fact that you missed this obvious typo in a title (!) of a section, is mind boggling, pretty much in the same ball park as John fucking up that riddle. I find it just amazing that any other academic I passed this paper to, had several interesting remarks and found at least a couple of these typos. You provided zero feedback, so you may as well have never read it. So please, stop posing.

ic.

And if tomorrow I go through the paper and do exactly as they did, will you take this back>
