<p>Bernie, you probably know this already but I just wanted to say, as another poster who stops by once in awhile just to help with information, that I’ve never seen anything you say as particularly false or shillish. I appreciate the time you spend on here helping to give some advice and perspective to prospective students. Sorry you’re having to deal with this thread.</p>
<p>This thread is idiotic and I agree with literally nothing the original poster said. /thread =/</p>
<p>@skribe Oh don’t worry about it. I won’t bother truly getting riled up from this sort of thing (okay, though the Oxford haters really, really annoy me) so much as making fun of it using the wit and cleverness that my Emory education has given me (or enhanced). Oh wait, and also the ability to look things up and use data lol. The OP may religiously watch Fox News (biased and wrong) or CNN (which isn’t biased, but is often wrong lol. Very embarrassing, because they aren’t even wrong because they have an angle) and therefore may not believe in the ideas of facts or data (or using them properly). Apparently their opinion, whether redundant, irrelevant, or without evidence to back it up is good enough to be “truth”. I don’t think we’re supposed be that way after a liberal arts education, but whatever (then again, the definition of a liberal arts education and its use is debatable. I just know it shouldn’t lead to that sort of judgement or lack of nuance when deriving an opinion or telling one’s side). </p>
