I had to take a year off of school for financial reasons, a semester of which was spent living on my own without parental support. I know plenty about living as an adult, and I gained a lot of respect during my time off for the working class.Liquidacid23 said:no... real life in general after college is much more stressful... unless your mentally deficient or are still being supported by your parents... judging by the fact you seem to think after school most jobs are just "physical labor" and that work is the only stressful thing in adult life you seem to be aware off I'm guessing your still in school
Well the girl in question is black, taking action against a black student for being loud especially on racial grounds can get the person doing it into all kinds of trouble, like it or not that's the kind of reason why affirmitive action and special minority protection laws are a big deal. Granted this case was beyond the pale, but when I was attending college for Criminal Justice is some of the classes I was in we had black students who didn't like points in classes like sociology, psychology, or similar things start calling the teacher "professor crackers" and laughing in the middle of lectures because they knew nothing would happen to them. I've never seen anything like that, but up until the point of the actual assault I'd imagine she would have been covered for everything she did by the school administration. There are lawyers and civil groups that virtually live just for of minority students being kicked out of class or being expelled for "expressing themselves".BathorysGraveland said:I was a little disappointed at the end there, I was hoping she was going to get put in her place with a swift, nice backhand. But alas.
Stupid people will be stupid people. I'm more surprised at how long the teachers there let that go on for as long as it did.
Affirmative action, my friend. Mostly good, but sometimes this can happen...Regnes said:Welcome to community college, home of the C+ student, oh wait, this is a university, well they just became a little less prestigious.

What happened to Treyvon was bullshit and the result of one of the worst laws ever, but no matter what her opinions on the matter she was completely in the wrong here. She can't somehow legitimize threatening a professor and hitting a student just because something completely unrelated happened that she didn't like.triggrhappy94 said:At first I wanted to jump to the assumption that she was one of those kinds of people who get pissed whenever people try to teach evolution, then I saw the comment about how this might relate to Treyvon--really unfortionate story. I'll stow all jokes for now with respect to the situation in Flordia.
Hopefully this video will prove racism isn't something only white people do, it's something idiots do.DarkishFriend said:Did she just get recorded doing death threats based on race?
Her dad was in denial and was 7/8th's through the name before her mother took the pen off him.DarkishFriend said:Also, how the hell is Jonatha a name?
I don't know what the Trayvon case has to do with evolution. The whole Trayvon thing is a thing less because of any racial issue and more because there's overwhelming evidence that a guy killed a kid, completely unprovoked, as the kid was screaming for help, and yet the cops do absolutely nothing about it. People would be just as pissed about it if it were a white kid, the point is the police aren't doing their job.chadachada123 said:Awesome video, if I do say so myself, and the general hypothesis is that she participated in some protests for a black kid named Trayvon and was incensed from that during the course.

The situation surrounding the shooting of the unarmed African American boy didn't really hit the news where I'm from, but it's truly, truly awful stuffMycroft Holmes said:She was apparently very polite in a previous email correspondence according to the professor. At the risk of armchair diagnosing, its entirely plausible that she had a salt or sugar imbalance(Such as a Diabetic.) When you mess around with the basic chemistry of life, the nicest people can go freaking insane and become violent or catatonic.
