Are you suggesting that there can be just ONE straw man argument to a point? And that the argument must be in direct opposition to what was said?

SMH.

On another note (because the ridiculous illogical arguments I see on this board are insane. And the fact that the people try to sound intelligent making the arguments... :shock: )

1. I don't think the person making the comment about ivy attendance being an indicator of good parenting is the parent of an ivy leaguer. I don't even think the person is an ivy leaguer. There's nothing to suggest this except my spidey senses. I think it was an innocuous--albeit true--statement that was taken out of context.

2. I think people on this board are overly competitive, sensitive and insecure about not being an ivy grad. That's the reason so many are jumping all over that comment which, in reality, has little to do with the real topic. It became it's own beast when insecure people started 'feeling some type of way' because they're not ivy grads and didn't send their kids to ivy. That comment was just one more reminder to them that neither they nor their snowflakes will ever be seen as good as an ivy grad. Hence all the emotional counter-arguments that make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Different PP here (not you and not Princeton mom). Thanks for trying to take that poster on seriously. The "yawn" comments demonstrate how flip and unengaged that poster really is.[/quote]

OR how childish and unintelligent s/he really is.[/quote]
