I thought I would share a few wonderful quotes I found that define the true douchebags of today.... this one's for you Sixty-two:
Blah blah blah....it's normally the case that people who complain about something on TV are normally the biggest fan. I bet his TV is tuned to CBS news every night.
I was a student many, many years ago and learned a lot of things about life such as those mentioned by Friar above.
I have tried to carry those tools with me throughout life.
I try to give everybody "the benefit of the doubt".
Is it just me that notices a common thread among the negative posters on this board.
A seemingly large percentage are Journalism students or grads.
I would imagine a lot of them have broken arms from patting themselves on their own backs for being such know-all, see-all people, even a year or two our of college.
To me, they are still a lot of babies who haven't learned about life yet.
They probably buy Depends by the case.
They probably use rubber mattress pads.
All they can do is practice spewing garbage on paper and hope that gets them noticed by people.
I say PRACTICE because if they really get good at it, they'll join the ultra liberal news organizations who are one step up from the National Enquirer.
Maybe some day they can be a Dan Rather and make up news.
Until then, we'll have to put up with them here.
Then comes this re-run
FRO:
Have you EVER written a sentence that is not filled with the letter "I"?
Is your resume printed on paper that has a watermark of your face?
Do you have constant pain in your elbow from patting yourself on the back?
Are you working on writing a book about yourself entitled "The Book Of Me?
You have to have a tremendous ego!
I'm glad I don't know you!
More of the same....I usually say "I miss college" I guess this is how he rolls
STUD"
If this kind of drivel is why you are a grad student at Bonas, I think you wasted your undergraduate years and are continuing to do so in grad school.
Why don't you go out and get a job and learn about REAL life.
GEEZ!
These kids look childish....but this whining old man only looks douchey
Dem:
I agree with you 1,000,000%.
Not only do these kids make themselves look childish but the impression may be that all BONA people are like them.
There are probably parents of prospective students who may read the "children's" dribble and decide to have their kids go to a different, grown-up school.
These kids need to find another playground to play in and another sandbox to soil.
They've long ago outlived their welcome here.
I wouldn't know, I've never bought anal plug
Cosmo, as wgt says ya' gotta watch out for us old-timers.
I'm not 75 yet but I do own and use a Thompson.
And a few other expensive manly toys.
Again thanks for all the great inputs on this topic yawn.
I can't begin to tell you just how thrilled I am that Bonas is ranked right up there as one of the worst investments a family can make toward the upbringing and education of their children.
Bring on the scandels and other corruption and see just how low we can go.
How does this fit in with the threads asking for more exposure to potential students by adding football, building a new science center?
Why not just turn the RC into a big, full-time beer hall?
Why worry about SATs? Just concentrate on Sots.
Sure, I drank my fair share while there but I don't advertise it to the whole world.
Maybe we SHOULD just become a SUNY branch.
Now we come to a great example of being 100% wrong
You said that there is no online version of the BV yet you know that the speech given there within the last few weeks wasn't covered by the BV.
How do you know? I'm confused.
I also can't understand how a University which supposedly has a Journalism curriculum can not seem to be able to figure out how to put a newspaper in electronic format.
Maybe the current students are so lacking in qualifications that it is apparent to possible future students and that is what is causing enrollment to falter.
Maybe it's too much OFF-campus activity interfering with the reason they are ON-campus to begin with.
It looks to me that some things are wrong and need to be addressed by both the students and the administration.
If indeed the ship is sinking, someone better start bailing.
MMMM tastes like shoe.
Thanks Jason and Tim:
I look forward to reading about the goings-on and inside views of Bonas.
Although we alums receive the Bonalumnus, by the time it reaches us, the pulse of the campus has expired.
This is my favorite.... he babbles on for about 10 lines and basically says nothing.
STUDent005:
I'm glad you asked about my thoughts.
I'm not a big fan of higher education regarding what is taught and by whom.
And what I am going to say is "in general". Not specifically.
I don't believe a degree means any more than the holder has a propensity for learning.
What they have learned probably has nothing to do with anything in the corporate world. And that's where a lot of the people are going to find a job.
In general, college faculty members have not been in the corporate world. Otherwise, they would have stayed there for the bigger bucks.
They teach subjects that they learn from reading books. And unless they get a new batch of books every year, their teaching is soon out of date.
I know a number of people who hold PhDs and think they are the greatest, smartest people around. Trouble is, they don't even know how to tie their shoelaces. They're "book smart". They don't impress me in the least.
I was fortunate enough a few years ago to volunteer teach a class in ESL (English as a Second Language) at a local community college. It was "real world" and it was great for everyone. The class consisted of about 20 young people and adults from Mexico, Thailand, Lebanon, Japan, Greece, Egypt, and India.
One of the requirements of the class was that ONLY English could be spoken in class. Even students from the same, foreign country had to converse with each other in English.
We taught common terminology using pictures and props. We taught common everyday language instead of grammar and sentence structure.
We taught the people how to function in the "real world".
That's the kind of real world I'd like to see taught.
Bring in corporate leaders who have been there and done that to help educate people about what it's really like out there.
Theory is great in books. And someone can learn all the theory that exists but, in the end, that all they'll know, theory.
That's where I'm coming from.
Maybe I'm too much of a realist, but it does work.
I'm quite sure that what I've said will raise the hackles on some people but I can't help that.
Looking to see each week just what is happening on a "real time" basis at the wonderful place we've all called home.
