Flint, what you're saying, in essence, if you'll forgive an extreme answer, that a jew in 1942 shouldnt have a problem moving to Germany, because, hey, not all Nazis are anti-semitic, and just because it's state policy that you should die, and the majority of people either agree or turn a blind eye, you could still probably find people who will accept you.

I'm not gonna live in the south, end of story. Sorry guys. Not going to convince me. I'm done living in a conservative society.

Bigot.

Why go to a college that's sure to reinforce your high school opinions?

That's the joke, Ibram. You're not done living in a conservative society. But we don't have to convince you. You'll live in the north once you get out of college, and discover on your own that there are plenty of conservatives there too.

No problem really, I give two years to recognize another form of totalitarian society. In the mean time, he's in a town where he doesn't stick out too much. Then he transfers, joins the ROTC, goes active, gets assigned to the Joint Chiefs...

So by that logic, there's no such thing as a liberal society in america?

That's BS. Marlboro already looks just plain perfect.

I don't get you guys' argument. There are some liberals down south, so its not a conservative society, and I'd love it there... and there are some conservatives in Vermont, so it is a conservative society, so I would hate it there?
I know where I like to be. I don't like to be in the south. It's a great place but I could never, ever live there. Just going back for a month to visit family makes me jumpy, I really do hate it there. The entire experience is grating, the religious scolding, the stares, the glares, the homophobia from every angle. I have been to the south at least twice a year every year since I was born, I lived there for four months, I know the south.
I know the south, and I know I dont want to live there.
So get the fuck off my back.

Still Godwin'd.

Btw, how exactly are people picking your sexual preference off just by sight? I'm assuming you aren't bringing a boyfriend down for the trip...

monster · 09-05-2007, 09:04 PM

I thought sexual no-preference was the issue?

monster · 09-05-2007, 09:10 PM

Srsly, Ib, now you like the look of Marlboro (allthat $$ and they couldn't afford the -ugh to stop it sounding like a brand of fags ....oh wait.....)

anyhoo, now use that as a search tool.

Well no, but the rainbows, tight jeans, long hair, and generally fairly feminine persona either tips them off that I'm a dayum derty faggot or a sissy little girly-boy.

No no, I'm saying you're not going to love or hate either geographical place. 100% of your college experience is the other students, the quality of your professors, the coursework you choose... basically anything outside a one-mile radius from the campus will be completely irrelevant to you for four-plus years. If you end up going to Marlboro I'm sure you will really like it there. But it will be because it's Marlboro, not because it's in the state of Vermont.

Well said, agreed completely. If I went to NYU it would be a great experience (I would imagine) not because I hate riding the subway but because of everything Clodfobble said above!

I'm going to say the opposite, actually. All of my college experience that I consider important was from the surrounding community, not just the school itself. Maybe that's just me.

Clodfobble · 09-06-2007, 12:21 AM

What college did you go to?
