Dear St. Augustine,

I hate you. Hate, hate, hate, hate. I hate you, and your Confessions, and your philosophizing.

It's not the fact that you're Christian. I just hate your style of writing. I also hate your constant toadying. Yeah, yeah, God is great. I get it. Did you really need multiple books to say it

Let me tell you, this guy didn't need God. He needed a sex club with a focus on S&M and age play. It probably would have made for a much more tolerable read.

Laughing forever now.

The bullshit you describe is decidedly NOT feminism.

When I felt that one of the theories was victim blaming, I was simply told that I didn't really understand.

That? Is not actually an argument. If they understand so well, why don't they, yanno, explain?

...;_; People like that give philosophy a bad name.

She states that "an anthropomorphic being who, without disability, chose never to move from birth to death would be hard to view as human," however, she never actually exempts paraplegics from the criteria
I think "without disability" is her way of saying "not paraplegics."

Man, I read part of this aloud to my mom. I AGREE WITH YOU. So much.

Her real life experience was declared inferior to an abstract theory by people who had never been in her position.
I think that is the best framing of that problem that I have ever read. I might have to steal this quote from you. SO TRUE.

Unless you need the class, or find it occasionally interesting, I'd say drop it. You don't need the extra stress.

And I had the same feeling on Augustine. :) lol. That man was nuts. And he whined. *All* the time...

...If I had met that last kid, I would have whupped him for you. >.< Hard.
