  1. So time and again it seems that in order to write an allegedly effective college essay one must assume that one's reader is a brain-damaged eight-year-old who was already mentally handicapped before the brain damage took place.

          1. @communistprime So it hasn't changed at all since my parents were there in the early 80s...

            1. @scribus If anything it's gotten worse since the advent of the internet.

        2. @scribus You don't get a guard dog with an IQ of 180, because it could disobey your orders.

    2. @scribus Do as I always did, work on the complexity of it until only people truly versed on the matter can understand. Then if they give you a bad grade, you can complain to the administration and say that they don't know enough. They'll give you a good grade just to avoid ridicule.

      1. @nerthos Not sure if that'll work in the States.

        1. @scribus You can always try. And if it doesn't work you can just go around saying that you're smarter than everyone.

          1. @nerthos I can already do that. Hell, I don't have to - people do it for me.

            1. @scribus Oh well. The other way is just being friends with the professors and administration. It worked miracles for me everytime I kind of broke the rules.

    3. @conventrix Yes...?

      Wednesday, 09-May-12 20:16:41 UTC from web
    4. @scribus This is why I let them control from the professors - something most people are to scared to do.

    11. @conventrix I personally wasn't in any combat. My job wasn't so...glorious. Just an intelligence analyst, but I did go on a couple patrols.

    12. @conventrix Hey, we got all sorts of awards for being the best troop intelligence team in the brigade. ;3

    13. @conventrix That's...terrible. I lived with my troop in the police station with a bunch of Afghan police. God, that was terrible.

    15. @conventrix They're really bad...it's just a terrible place. I just finished my 4 years active, finished up my term with another 4 years as a reservist.
