for people to believe life is 'a meaningless existential hell' is pretty extreme though. It comes across to me as suggesting there's no meaning in anything and that life is hell.
I think we should keep in mind that this seems a canned response, a survey answer choice. The students weren't saying that life is a meaningless existential hell, they were just >50% in agreement with the statement presented to them by the testers.

That could very well be true. As I acknowledged, the source is definitely far from reliable.

Maybe I should worry about more important things than melodramatic college students. ;)

You bet! As a country kid myself we used to watch him on the weekends. Yes I watched wrestling! :redface: He's kept that 'aura' hasn't he?

Remember when the tv would actually go off the air? I don't know why I mention that except he came from an era when things were more pure and true. When there were actually quiet spaces in a day. Now we have to actually find the time to be quiet.

Yes, I cringed a couple of times while their verbal shots were flying over my head.

That aura may be either wing of the mustache.

Should he and Senior Teutel have a "baddest mustache" competition? -- sort of a Clash of the Titans? Yeah, I know: they clash those two titans together, the heterosexual population isn't gonna want to watch.

Are any of those students depressed because they're taking meds?

Well the source was dumb.com, so I doubt anyone really knows although I suppose this could be the result of some clinical study - who knows?

It was more a question of, do you think this could be true, and if so, what do you think could be done or alternatively, not done.
