It's Ivy-equivalent. Not Chicago tho. Midwest losers. Good history department, but haha, what difference does that make?

Its getting a bit tiresome.  Not as bad as Grumbler's routine but getting close.

So, it's the same situation as with the Ferguson shooting - i.e. there is a systemic problem but this particular case is not the best poster case for it.

Yet you have idiots on one side who say there is no problem. And idiots on the other side who want to make this a poster case for the problem.

It's a lot different than Ferguson, no one riots over sexual assault. But anything touching on race, there will be demonstrations at a minimum.

This case is actually more of a journalism news story now, campus sexual assault just isn't a super exciting topic to most people and the Rolling Stone having to post a retraction is really the story now.

Uh. 

What the fuck are you talking about, you ignorant piece of shit?

I was bored at work.

It's true I don't know much about Chicago.   They do have a good history dept.  Their law school is... pretty good.  It's really good for a law school--whatever the hell that means.

Yes, Jackie isn't really the story as much as that RS journalist is. Female hysterics & attention-seekers are ten-a-penny but that journalist has written similar articles in the past which seem to be the same sort of feminist porn fiction that the RS retracted.

Next time you are bored, imitate someone smarter and more entertaining than CC, okay?  His "I'ma combine arrogance and stupidity in one package because Londo says it's efficient" schtick doesn't amuse for long, even when he does it.

He seems to be crying a lot. I'd be fine if someone wanted to tell me that Stanford was a school for losers.

I mean, you guys always lose the big ball game with Harvard.

You might be thinking of Yale.

All in the Ivy League, was the joke.

[Ed Anger]

And Dunham is now getting stick for her rape claim at Oberlin. And her book publisher is already shitting bricks.

Delicious.

Well that's not really in the same vein as the negative comments you made about Chicago that lead to Spellus emotional outburst.

Neither, here nor there, but Stanford's big game is vs. another non-Ivy (Berkeley).
