– Mitt Romney, at Wednesday’s CNN debate in Arizona.
Hey, you know what prevents unwanted pregnancy? This.
Love the insinuation that poverty IS child abuse. And the racism. That throwaway remark is quite possibly one of the worst things to come out of last night’s debate.
I could say more, but...

thatbonegirl asked: oy OY none of this 'academic incompetence' business! Your essay was good; all the concepts were there, I just moved things around and applied a thesaurus. College writing's about practice and practice and being broken down to a sobbing wreck by your editors and then more practice. You've got all the makings, just give yourself time. You got this.

bonnienoire replied to your post: It’s times like these I get vaguely depressed and wonder if I even belong in academia.
you don’t suck you just need practice. you get better at this stuff the more you work on it, and the more you expose your work to people who are better than you, so they can help you improve. stop sucking and be more awesome kev. you can do it.

thatbonegirl Cranked out a revised essay that is just WAY BETTER than the one I had spent 3 hours working on. I still have edits and revisions so that it makes sense in the context of the outline I sent to my teacher, but still.
Brb, weeping over my incompetence, cringing in the shadows of intellectuals far more superior.
I heard somewhere that depression can cause a lack of brain activity....

thatbonegirl replied to your post: Rhetorical Analysis Essay
what are the perimeters for the essay? page length/word count/goal/things that have to be included, etc
Um…nothing, really. Just…analyze.
Believe me, I’m as confused as you are that none of these things exist.

Rhetorical Analysis Essay
An Analysis of Valerie’s Autobiography from V for Vendetta
The plot of the movie V for Vendetta takes place in a futuristic world in which Britain has fallen under fascist rule. Headed by a conservative religious zealot, the population subjected to this government are under constant surveillance. Anyone who is caught not adhering to very strict moral guidelines is imprisoned. Among the...

Rhetorical Analysis Essay coming up shortly
It’s on Valerie’s autobiography from V for Vendetta. It’s crap so far. So I’ll need my trusty followers to critique. (And by trusty followers, I mostly mean bonnienoire, contextuallyawesome, craftychrissy, and thatbonegirl, although if any of you have anything helpful to add, that’d be great.)
It’s due by midnight tonight, so…not much of a rush, per say.

whats this informative topic then? how complex is it
Describing how George Orwell theorized the means for successful oligarchical collectivism in 1984. The three main points are the ideals found within the Party’s slogan: “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

bonnienoire replied to your post: Informative speech due tonight
cut out irrelevant info — stuff that doesn’t have direct relation to the point of sharing information on the topic (like in a speech informing people about vampires, only a brief mention of succubi is necessary to explain origins. no details.)
I feel like I’ve done all of that. There really isn’t anything I’ve put...

o.O I don’t understand your classes
They’re in rural southeast Missouri. That, alone, should speak volumes.
The people in my classes are idiots. I have met maybe two or three that I can view as competent. I suppose I’m supposed to pander so they don’t feel stupid.
If I’m doing mass communications, like...
Informative speech due tonight
Teacher said I should make sure there isn’t too much information there, so that the audience doesn’t get confused and can’t follow.
SSSSHHHHIIIIIIIT.

More fun from the self-loathing society: This American Life had a show about how young female undercover cops infiltrated a high school and flirted with boys to entrap them into selling pot, so they could charge them with felonies and destroy their lives at an early age.
Last year in three high schools in Florida, several undercover police officers posed as students. The undercover cops went to...

When people say “But it (homosexuality/trans people/polyamory/gender-neutral parenting/whatever) will confuse teh childrenz!”
Dude. Confusion is a primary state of being for children. Children are confused by child-proof medicine bottles. A favorite pastime of many a child is asking “Why?” about any piece of information presented to them. Confusion is not something to...

Kevin, “hafta” is not a word.
So I gotta keep a dream journal...
I don’t hafta write a paper, but I gotta keep an annoying ass journal recording:
“1) Behaviors prior to going to bed: routines, eating, exercising, etc.
2) Atmosphere of the room: temperature, noise level, lighting
3) Amount of time it takes to fall asleep
4) Amount of times you were awakened during the night
5) Your appraisal of the quality of sleep you engaged in
6) ...
