<p>"Bush has 125 IQ"</p>
<p>per kg?</p>
<p>His speech was weak.</p>
<p>didn't watch it. dunno whats happening. just know that this Iraq thing is completely his idea and fault and we're getting the shaft. If a draft comes around, I'll be mighty ****ed and consider moving to another country.</p>
<p>You'd have to be way far off in moonbat land to think that a draft is ever gonna happen this side of a land war with China.</p>
<p>That is actually one of my greatest fears. I am a female Chinese-American (U.S. citizen). And a land war in China would mean, in my worst dreams:</p>
<p>1) I am drafted, even as a female;
2) Being intelligent but unathletic, I'll be assigned to something academic-y like ham radio operation (joke) or... um... looking Chinese. Espionage?
3) I'll get captured. They'll think I'm Chinese. But I'm illiterate!!
4) Execution/rape/career as Communist double agent</p>
<p>=O</p>
<p>(I am also joking. Sort of.)</p>
<p>Haha......their not gonna make you a spy just because you have Chinese background, and I'd highly doubt women would be in the draft.</p>
<p>"That is actually one of my greatest fears. I am a female Chinese-American (U.S. citizen). And a land war in China would mean, in my worst dreams:"</p>
<p>Ask anyone who lived on the west coast in the 40's what happened. </p>
<p>I know you were joking. But you already have the answer.</p>

<p>Bush: "My philosophy for college admissions is: rejected once, shame on you, rejected twice...uhh... shame on ...once ya get rejected once ya can't get rejected again."

</p>
<p>hahahah That literally made me laugh out loud!!!</p>
<p>Good point Opie, though there is naturally going to be difference, as we were thinking about a war WITH China, not just IN China. In WWII we were allies.</p>
<p>"Funny he is the reason my D crossed yale off the list very early."</p>
<p>I've heard this from more than one person IRL. Sad but true. </p>
<p>Fortunately, such extreme cases of legacy admissions aren't common anymore. </p>
<p>W wouldn't last one semester in the YALE of today....</p>
<p>I think that he got in because of the massive amount of money that his father gave Yale, not for being a legacy. Also being son of a President could have helped.</p>
<p>He wasn't the son of a president at the time, needless to say.</p>
<p>And Prescott Bush was much more of a benefactor than GHWB was.</p>
<p>haha, forgot that he wasn't pres yet. But $$$$$$ probably helped.</p>
<p>It definitely helped. But nowadays the legacy admittee would also have to be able to do the work. When I was a grad student there, I took some undergrad courses and they were HARD. Not least because of their outrageous reading assignments. I'm not a speed reader and I have a limited attention span ;)</p>
<p>If people are dumb and loony enough to cross Yale off b/c of GWB, it obviously wasn't much of a loss to the school. And what a bunch of crap about him not lasting a sememster. Wasn't Yale the school that had a CC kid snuck into and they did just fine?</p>

<p>I hope her daughter avoided college altogether and just went straight to the workplace because thats a smart route, Yale clearly isn't hmm lol <em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>LOL I can't believe people are seriously asking this...wow, just wow</p>
<p>^^^ it wasn't really serious. it was a joke. read the discussion maybe?</p>
