On Aletheia's latest issue
After every Aletheia issue, I’m always prompted to write my own opinions on the subject so I guess I will, even if the topic is an uncomfortable subject for some. Let me just say that this was my favorite issue by far and some of the submissions in this issue were pure gold, particularly the very last submission. My favorite quote:
The thing is, people have overhyped and over-romanticized...

pet peeve #19: when people try to be grammar nazis

hi everyone who has left me a message regarding the affirmative action post. can you guys please ask me non-anon so i can respond to you privately and not spam everyone’s dashboard. thanks!
Anonymous asked: Well, there's certainly a difference between being opposed to the current implementation of affirmative action and affirmative action as the concept. Isn't it true that, for instance, it's necessary to provide some sort of societal equalizer for African-Americans to break them out of the cycle of poverty for which Caucasian Americans were largely responsible for, as they were denied...
Anonymous asked: i definitely agree with you regarding targeting the problem as opposed to the symptom! the problem is, how do you do that? that is a genuine question, by the way. i'm not trying to be snarky. and re: race in relation to job-finding, there was some study done, and people with "whiter" sounding names were more likely to find a job than people with names that didn't sound...
Anonymous asked: What if there were two candidates of poor socioeconomic backgrounds who were equal in every regards, except that one is African-American and the other is Caucasian. Given that the university will accept one of the two, ought the admissions officer flip or coin or make a conscious, race-based decision of either one?
Anonymous asked: affirmative action exists BECAUSE this still isn't a land of equal opportunity. "reverse discrimination" doesn't exist. white people are least likely to live in poverty. think about what that means. that means that they have a whole lot more access to opportunities than other ethnicities. affirmative action tries to counteract the racism that has been so pervasive in this...

affirmative action
when taking the political spectrum quiz, i also noticed i did not “strongly agree” or “strongly oppose” anything except affirmative action, which i strongly opposed. i especially oppose affirmative action based on race, which is what a lot of colleges do nowadays.
first of all, let me say that i do understand the importance of diversity, especially in a university....

we took a political spectrum quiz in ap gov today and according to their results i am a “moderate libertarian liberal”
a few thoughts on this…
1) i hate the world liberal. it reminds me of hippies who majored in 14th century literature and think the gov’t is the blame for their lack of a job.
it also reminds of the horrible story of the jacob burris’s cat, in which...
“You’re ‘not a Washington insider’? You, the former Speaker of the House and...”
– — JON STEWART, responding to Newt Gingrich positioning himself as the “outsider who scares the Republican establishment,” on The Daily Show (via inothernews) (via viciousbrandobruhl)
i don't understand why people like newt gingrich
he is a known serial adulterer. he’s on this third wife and cheated on the other two.
he is a known hypocrite. he tried to impeach bill clinton while he was in an affair himself. when it comes to personal affairs of mitt romney, he never hesitates to get right into it but when it’s his own personal affairs “I AM APPALLED blah blah blah”
he was the only house speaker to...

a few observations on the internet's SOPA reaction...
it’s quite scary how so many people are taking this so badly. i just saw this tumblr post that read “keep the government from taking away what you grew up with” or some shit like that. jesus fucking christ, it’s the internet people, not your childhood. if you’re so damn sentimental about it, i think there’s something wrong with you.
just now i saw a...
