    your the one who proclaimed it.. not me ..and furthermore I wasn't speaking of you. do you have a guilty concience for some reason.. and if you flame me I will not respond.. If you would talk to me inteligently I would respond in kind.. I am not narrowminded nor do I hate you.. I just don't understand where your coming from and your not trying to make it clear to me.. if that makes me a moron or stupid to ask for clairity, then it boils down to you don't have any answers..

    I am a senior in college, and I don't have to prove that. I am in Engineering and not English. I am not the best speller, and I type fast so sometimes I mispell things and don't always correct them.

    It's too bad we don't live in a world where everyone respects each other.

    Okay can we drop the stupid spelling thing.

    I'm starting a media writing degree (so English after a fashion), and still regually make errors in spelling and grammar. So obviously I'm not going to care about others petty mistakes.
    As long as we get the gist of the message, and the poster is humble enough to accept that they, just like everyone else, make mistakes. Spelling or otherwise.

    And I totally agree with you :)
    It would be nice, we can only set the right example and hope others will follow it, it's all in the karma.

    yes, we've established that...

    and I don't have to prove that
    no one said you did

    I am in Engineering
    yeah, we got that.

    and not English.
    doesn't mean you shouldn't know how to spell common words in your native language.

    I am not the best speller
    agreed


    and I type fast
    me too! wow. :D


    so sometimes I mispell things and don't always correct them.
    mhmm...

    you can respect someone without agreeing with them. :rolleyes:

    Self-Righteous? Hmm...

    My hands are full of soapy water
    Washing, carefully
    Washing
    Sherry’s bowels
    Recently emptied
    It's her potato salad
    My hands are full of sadness
    As I touch
    Her bowels
    And her life
    With my menstrations.

    A week ago
    Her father died
    And thus a fathering
    And thus the leftovers
    Brought to me
    And now my hands are full of soapy water
    My eyes are full of tears
    As I wash
    Carefully wash
    My heartache
    Away with the
    Residue of her father’s death
    Sensing my own future
    In Sherry’s bowels.

    I don't want to start a veggie debate either
    Didn't say I did either.

    But I have my reasons as far as that, and they make sense to me, which is why I think it should be respected.
    Hitlers beliefs made sense to him as well.

    I don't eat ground beef.
    Does it make a difference what type you eat?

    I don't eat much American food because American dishes (hamburgers, hotdogs, fast food, etc.) emphasize meat too much.
    Ok.

    I prefer asian food which seems to be more veggie based (stirfry).
    I enjoy asian foods as well. Mostly Indian ;)

    But just because you think the 'American meat industry' is corrupt does not make eating meat wrong.
    Well, yes it does when the meat industry is the #1 cause of water pollution in the U.S. When cattle are forced to live on their own feces, face daily injections of unnatural chemicals that are not needed, when the meat industry deprives third world nations of food, and when animals face slow and painful deaths. I'm so sorry that I've done research. Please excuse my curiosity and intelligence.

    I have friends that are Agriculture majors
    Interesting ;)

    I have worked at the Pavilion
    YEEHAW!

    I have worked at the Center for Integrated Plant Studies,
    Ooo, la la ;)

    I have done my research.
    Most likely of organic and free-range farms :rolleyes:

    I think you missed my overall point.
    Do you now?

    I was using the meat eating as an example.
    I realize that. But that doesn't mean I can't state a few facts.

    Them looking at me in disgust for eating meat makes just about as much sense as me looking at them in disgust for not eating meat.
    Actually. Most vegetarians do get looks of disgust. And looking at you in disgust would probably make more sense, as vegetarians are less likely to die of heart disease, and less likely to eat a cow that was skinned alive.

    It's my choice to eat meat
    No way! Get outta town!

    it's their choice to not eat meat
    realllllllly.

    we as individuals should be able to agree to disagree
    Not when:
    1)the u.s. cattle industry produces 158 million tons of waste per year.
    2)85% of the topsoil loss in the u.s. is the result of livestock production.
    3)75% of the grain sent to 3rd world nations goes to livestock production.
    4)50 percent of men who eat meat regularly die of heart disease.
    5)4 percent of men who eat no animal products die of heart disease.
    6)10% of nursing mothers who were vegetarians had ddt in their breast milk.
    7)90% of nursing mothers who were meat eaters had ddt in their breast milk.
    8)from 1960-1985 over 40% of the central american rainforests were destroyed to create grazing land for cattle.

    if they call themsevles a 'hippie' then they should be able to respect me as an individual.
    I'm not sure what definition you have of hippy, but there really isn't one. I'd say its like calling yourself a true American. You were born in America, you'd think that would make you American. But no, if you attack the president, yer un-american. If you join the army, you're american, if you hate osama, you're american, and vice-versa.

    BOUGHTEN!?! Are you serious? I've never boughten a paper. Good God! Ten-year-olds don't say boughten.

    Apparently the admission standards at MSU are either really slack, or you're really a little kid sneaking onto mommy and daddy's computer at night.

    don't you think this is ironic? this guy apears to me much more inteligent than his attackers...ah well, i'll still side with him, as attacking someone for their english is crazy

    Wow.

    no

    this guy apears to me much more inteligent than his attackers
    leave it to someone who sides with the guy to spell "intelligent" (not to mention "appears") incorrectly.

    ...ah well, i'll still side with him
    I could already tell ;)

    as attacking someone for their english is crazy
    Sorry if we think a "senior in college!!! hes a senior in college!! didn't you know hes a senior in college!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" should be able to spell simple words correctly in their native language.


    this is a place of free speech
    Then why do so many people get banned.

    would you stop someone with an accent from speaking?
    What do accents have to do with anything

    The reason it annoys me so when a senior in college can't read or write (if the guy is even for real) is that it devalues my own degrees. Kind of like when a bunch of rednecks move into the house next to yours and don't mow the lawn. It brings the property values down.

    Not necessarily in all cases... it wouldn't actually bring it down so much but if you were to attempt to sell it you'd have a hard time trying... now, if a big community with $500,000 houses was built, that would be a different story.

    i don't bother to spell or use grammer in what i write here, as you can understand what i'm saying :) it's comunication, it works. and don't be sarcastic with me, as it doesn't work

    if you don't think this is ironic, i'd look the word up in the dictionary, i'd also look up metaphor. and how do you know what his native language is? and do you know of the theory of relativity? remember that amazing scientist...he was dyslexic.

    you are so stuck up your arse you should be put in a gallery and be called art :)

    thats obvious. you didnt have to tell me that.


    as you can understand what i'm saying
    yeah. mispelling every other word is code for saying "I'm a dumbass. Here me roar!"


    :)
    stop smiling.

    it's comunication
    double M my man, double m!!!

    it works
    I've been thinking about working at the supermarket to save up to get a car.


    and don't be sarcastic with me
    Who?!?! Me?!?!? Goddess of all things beautiful?!!!? Why, no Kier! Never sarcastic with you! You're too kind, and understanding! Oh my gosh! I just love you so much!

    as it doesn't work
    yeah, still considering getting that job...

    if you don't think this is ironic
    You're right. I don't


    i'd look the word up in the dictionary
    I know what it means, or else I would be unable to make the judgment of it being ironic or not. :rolleyes:

    i'd also look up metaphor.
    I learned about metaphors in fifth grade. And we're also identifying them in our readings of Odysseus in English class.

    and how do you know what his native language is?
    Its obvious his native language is English. Or else he would have corrected me a long time ago when I first said that English was his first language.

    and do you know of the theory of relativity?
    Why do you ask?

    remember that amazing scientist
    Not really.

    ...he was dyslexic.
    So is my sister. And she was supposed to have graduated college about 2-3 years ago.


    you are so stuck up your arse
    Nothing can really fit up my ass (its ok to say ass), since I'm a size 0.

    you should be put in a gallery
    Yeah. My face is pretty beautiful, not to mention my lovely, luscious tanned buttocks.


    and be called art
    I already am art. Want a photo?


    :)
    If you must be a jackass... be a jackass, and don't cover up your hostility with smiley faces.

    Hey people that keep harassing me about my spelling in this statement. Who cares to point out what's wrong? I count two misspelled words and 3-4 grammatical errors. So all this harassment started because I spelled two words wrong? I guess the title 'self righteous' hippies makes sense then.
