[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at all the protesting and anger before Corona on selective campuses it was largely kids who really didn’t deserve to be there and felt like lower capacity outcasts. They’re displacing their angrier and inferiority complex onto others. Imagine being at an Ivy — essentially winning the life lottery — and being angry about anything.[/quote]

All the kids admitted deserved to be there by virtue that they fulfilled the only criteria: they got admitted.

Admission to an ivy is not a lottery or comparable to one, nor is it a guarantee of success in the future.

Your bitterness is sad, pathetic, probably racist, and holding you back in life, and you need to let go of it all.

Now that we have established why you are a sicko, let me add why you are an idiot:

Most colleges work hard to admit principled, ambitious, proactive, and committed young people, exactly the kind that are not afraid to try and change things that need changing.  Meanwhile, people like you sit in your barcalounger and say "Why should I be angry when I have 175 channels of cable and a full bag of cheetos"?

And you wonder why you weren't admitted.  Now you know![/quote]'

DP.  The truth is somewhere in the middle - the kids who tend to protest the most certainly "deserve" to be at those schools, but they are less likely to feel comfortable at their institutions and more likely to express their discomfort through various forms of protest (i.e., they tend to think that, if only the things they were protesting about came to pass, they would feel more comfortable in their skin/shoes at an elite school).  [/quote]

Hey DP, you are ignorant also.  That is not why people protest.  In fact it is possibly the dumbest suggestion I have ever heard.[/quote]

Touched a nerve, I see.  [/quote]

Correct, stupidity touches a nerve with me, for sure.[/quote]
