Is the US News and World Report a lying old rage then?

If a soldier is qualified, then the US Army will be most happy to send said soldier to Harvard, for an advanced degree, or to the War College. The Army does not waste talent. At the time you were graduating HS, the US Gov was offering tons of scholarships and no-interest loans, etc. Those great opportunities have now almost completely dried up. The US Gov does not want to educate the youth, fearing, probably, rebellion of a much more educated student body. People kept in debt are happy docile people, unlike educated students with time on their hands in which to think.

Was that the same sex education that others received at under-the-Boardwalk?

OK. But, how do I bookmark this comment, then...?

That sounds like the New England experience, for sure. I agree it was great....back then.... But, everything has changed now... Except maybe for places like Chappaquiddick. Without a lot of money, it's almost impossible to remain properly insulated.

Yes. As I said. Amherst is NOT about academics. It's about continuing the preppy experience in a warm and fuzzy 1960s commune environment. Concerning school rankings. Penn usually ranks around 10th or 12th, just below Harvard, Columbia, MIT, etc... If you want to locate Amherst's ranking, then please first check the dumpster, and take a dive there. Also, that nitwit school Brown University. Just another similar crazy school where they recite poetry all day long. Those schools are all the same.

You think I am not lazy? I AM lazy. I cannot be bothered to press the Cap Key, and then that other key, in quick succession, and then another Cap Key, so soon after all that work. He needs to change his name if he wants me to typewrite it right.

I agree. Quite foolish to discard or trash a perfectly good refrigerator, even though it does not cool. The case is still good and mine is like new. Insects will never get in when the doors are closed. Quite a bit of space. It will last for another 50 years, at least.

The worst problem I might encounter is the smell, if doors are kept shut for weeks on end. I think this smell is not caused by China. I know it is not.

Memory is getting very costly these days. RAM prices exploding. Now, we can expect NAND for SSDs to explode next. So, maybe a solution is to just have 5 TBytes of storage on Google Drive. Quite cheap and secure. But, there is no native app for Linux, at this time, which works like Google's Drive Sync. Anyway, 5TBytes might not be enough. I will stick with 5 since I have, still, some special promo deal which includes sufficient use of Gemini, as well. 5TBytes of Drive storage is about USD25.00 per month. No need for buying so much expensive NAND SSD or other types of storage for PC. 2 TBytes of NVMe SSD installed on PC should be enough if you have 5TBytes of storage on Google Drive. Very unlikely to run out of qbittorrent related space with that much space in the cloud...

By the way: This guy Souza from India... He attended Dartmouth College. This is how he is easily able to wipe the floor with that runt of a student from Amherst. My father attended Dartmouth. I still have one of those wooden Dartmouth paddles designed for use in Dartmouth fraternities. Dartmouth was once a great college. Then, they let in the girls. Anyway, compared to Dartmouth, Amherst is a garbage school.

It's a New England thing, a very preppy thing. Don't go to Amherst if you want a first-class education, and are not a complete commie... Instead, go to Penn and get a top-flight education, maybe try The Moore School, The Natural Sciences, Medicine (Penn Medicine), and much more. Amherst is completely RINKY-DINK-PINK (Pinkos for SURE!!!) Disgusting place, really. And, the girls there are worse. Or, the boys are girls, now, and I forget exactly what is going on there, and would not even want to know. Let us wait for the next New York Post articles to drop.

I recall one time flying from Taipei to San Francisco on a China Airlines 747. About one hour before we arrived, the flight attendants began removing those safety locking devices, preparing to open the doors. Very strange. But apparently, we were very low on fuel, and they were preparing the craft to ditch in the Pacific Ocean. I don't think those doors will open when the cabin is pressurized much higher than outside air pressure. This would make no sense if the design allowed for this to happen.

I have never once said you were wrong about anything. Am I right?

Yes, very amusing. The lecturer has just accused the nitwit student of: MORAL SELF-EXCULPATION.... Go back and listen to this at minute: 6:06 Haha....moral self-exculpation....INDEED.... He nailed it....!!!! I hate these nitwit students who will not see reality for about the next 5 or 10 years....and then... Reality hits them like a BIG PIZZA PIE....between the eyes....

My cousin and mother graduated from Holyoke.

The downfall of Amherst is when it chose to go coeducational in 1975. Williams is a far better school, with serious students. Haverford College also went coeducational, but at a later date. Let the girls have their own schools, I say. This is best for these small colleges. Of course, I love the fact that Penn is coed. Reason: The girls at Penn are super serious students. Also, they are smarter by a long shot. AND, most importantly, they do not waste time entertaining silly ideas. We should kick out the girls from Haverford, at least. The reason these schools went coed is due to economics, only. They need a larger student base to draw from. They need more applicants. If they open up to girls, then they have far more potential applicants. But, girls, as we can see from the video I attached in the OP....are basically....brainless. Who would kneel down before a fellow student, and before the student body, and I don't mean figuratively... And fake fellatio? At the very least, she should have given him the real deal, and caused a true scandal. NEVER GO ONLY HALF WAY, i always say....

A great Mike Nichols film. Nichols and Nicholson...and what more could one ask? That was when Smith girls were real Smith girls. I will re-watch the film, tomorrow, for the umpteenth time. Such nostalgia.

Yes, But for anyone to consider holding a Smut-Show on the Chancel of a Chapel... This seems far more like something we would expect from Rosemary's Baby, or in the Exorcist, or one of those films. Have these young students no sense of proportion and no perspective about accepted conduct and mores. I believe they are just completely ignorant, and therefore are unable to gauge the incongruousness of their performance and their behavior. It seems to be a matter of ignorance and idiocy, rather than any intentional wish to push boundaries. They seems so lacking in education, in fact. No sense of propriety, as if they had been raised as wolf cubs, by some surrogate wolf mother in the forest. Not even part of the acculturated sector of the human race. Truly bizarre behavior. And, it was the administrators, seemingly, that approved their scripts? Also, I can tell you: At Penn, even today, you would not find even one single undergrad imbecilic enough to waste their time attending, much less performing, in a skit or program such as this. Nobody at Penn has time for such nonsense. Lousy school, too, Amherst. Not worth the inflated tuition. And, a far overinflated sense of the worth of their school, for sure. Go to Penn, Columbia, CalTech, MIT, but Amherst should be turned into a commune for new-age hippies...and then we should call in the Ohio Militia. We did the same at Kent State, after all...

After a bit of searching, here is a far more interesting rundown of what it means to be in a liberal Liberal Arts school... In today's Puritanical New England: The long article is here: https://freebeacon.com/campus/this-has-gone-way-too-far-videos-show-bizarre-sexual-ceremony-that-elite-amherst-college-pushes-all-first-year-students-to-attend/ But: Is this really true??? I mean... Twerking to "Superman Dick", the song, seems too unbelievable, even for Amherst College.

Dear Folks, I just noticed that Amherst College is now offering free Smut-Skits at the Campus Chapel. Would you have gone to Amherst College, back in the day, if they had been offering this same thing to you, and students like you? Actually, the total cost for one year at Amherst is about USD92,000.00. I just wonder why MONEY and VALUE has become so unrelated and skewed, during the past few decades, ESPECIALLY in America…!!! I would bet that if any of these students were asked to do HARD Science, and I mean Natural Science, that most of these nitwits would fail. These days, they are all into the Social Sciences, or so it most obviously seems. How can these students, and people in general, have so drastically lost the plot about what might be considered some meaning and value in life. Living a life based on meaning is a happier life. Are these nitwits destined for happiness in life, one might wonder? Here they are in a beautiful chapel, a beautiful building full of New England history, and they have made a mockery of the experience. They should be appreciating the architecture and history. Yet, they seem oblivious to where they are, or why they might be there. This is craziness? Or is this the OMEN? Or, as we can see: This surely is onanism at its best. I remain, after watching this video… Flabbergasted… Regards, and I remain disappointed…in my fellow Americans… Gamma Note: Still, I think the Blonde in the Pink Sweater (the one giving head) just might be worth 92K Note2: This seems to be making the news in the USA....

Upon further investigation: No way would I go there. These days, there are many "upscale" resorts which cater to tourists. The tourists want things like chocolate on their pillows. These tourists are not wealthy. But, the reason they flock there is to get that sort of faux-wealthy experience for a fraction of the price. In coming to this tiny island, they will completely spoil it. I have given up on ever finding a nice place by the ocean, for less than 50 million USD. The reason for this is that so many slummers, the Proles of this world... Now have access to cheap international flights. Also, some nitwit YouTube blogger will visit some place, then post it on YouTube, and then what was once a fairly unspoiled place is completely... RUINED. I grew up before the internet. Before the age of super cheap international flights. In the 1960s, there were many places worth visiting and worth living for a decade or two. Now, though, in truth, there is NOTHING. The values of the traveler has changed..during the past 5 decades. I hate the hippies, too, for being the first to become backpackers, ushering in this devastation. Now that we have destroyed our world, there is no going back. I will not dwell on the devastation, nor cry over it. Nitwits, these days, have no clue what they have missed. Really no point in travelling anywhere, these days.

22 miles off the coast of Thailand. Looks good. But, with 400 inhabitants, it might be too crowded. I could live there if I had good internet and some hut made from concrete that could be easily cooled using AC. Is land available for long-term lease? If I had good internet, such as 3BB fiber, then I could build a one-room hut, 8 meters by 8 meters. Large window facing the sea. Enough for me. The area of the island is 6 sq miles. However, the hills take up much of the usable land, probably. Still, defo something to think about.

This has been my observation RECENTLY, in recent years. I know this is true.

Thais live a far happier life, as a result. They are the lucky ones. While we are the unlucky ones.
