<p>It's located in the 951. The students who do well at UCR do very well for themselves, and UCR offers many good programs. The smog is worse in Riverside then LA because the LA smog is blown into Riverside thanks to geography and weather. The smog is present all the time. Some students at UCR are both bright and motivated and struggle sometimes. Shocking, I know.</p>
<p>"It's located in the 951." </p>
<p>I'm aware of that. However, people still refer to the area as "The 909" as a way of mocking the IE - because for a long time, "the 909" had pervasive connotations of white trash and hicks.</p>
<p>"The students who do well at UCR do very well for themselves, and UCR offers many good programs."</p>
<p>Oh, please. UCR students are mediocre and unmotivated, and they lack insight into just how mediocre and unmotivated they truly are.</p>
<p>"The smog is worse in Riverside then LA because the LA smog is blown into Riverside thanks to geography and weather. The smog is present all the time."</p>
<p>Which is why Riverside is smoggier than LA.</p>
<p>"Some students at UCR are both bright and motivated and struggle sometimes. Shocking, I know."</p>
<p>Every school has its outliers. I'm sure there really are a few bright people at UCR. But no more than a few.</p>

<p>Who are these people? People should refer to it as the 951, as thats what it is, or the 714, as it was that much longer than it was the 909. But really, who cares? All one can do is try to inform people when stupid stereotypes and ignorant jokers come about.</p>

<p>Hey, I don't know, nor do I care. Riverside will always be "The 909," and people will always make jokes about the place...because it's really a laughable place. Having spent quite some time "down there," I can tell you that the stereotypes and the jokes are maybe 90% true.</p>

<p>Thanks for your empirical observations. I haven't witnessed any eternal reputation so far, so I think that there is some hope.</p>

<p>Riverside is not really a laughable place. Bakersfield and Death Valley are. lol yuck!</p>
<p>I read on StudentsReview.com that "UCR is an ABOMINATION to higher education."</p>
<p>UCRiverbed</p>
<p>You probably wrote it. I've read that about Yale and Harvard, too. That's a site I trust, and by that, I mean it's a site people post on as jokes or to voice negative opinions about schools (far more often than anything positive).</p>
<p>Every school, even Harvard and Yale, has its shortcomings. I hope you're not so naive that you think otherwise, although I think you were the one who thought UofM was "UC Merced," so who knows.</p>
<p>UCRGrad</p>
<p>You got it. At four in the morning while sick, I read "UofM" in the University of California thread as "Merced." Should I be executed for that? Stop being a childish prick. I made a mistake. I've acknowledged that a few posts ago, or on some other thread where you post primarily childish comments. Can you not deal with it?</p>
<p>It wasn't a "mistake." If I typed "Riversside" instead of "Riverside," that would be a mistake. The reason why you thought "UofM" was an abbreviation for UC Merced, even though the letters don't quite match up, is that you are clearly very well-versed with schools in the UC system, even the no-name ones, but you have little life experience with other nationally recognized schools, like MICHIGAN. I bring it up to demonstrate a point - that you are speaking from a perspective of limited scope. And usage of the term "childish prick" really demonstrates your maturity level here.</p>
<p>UCRiverbed</p>
<p>Wow, as if that isn't amazingly freaking obvious, as I, like you, are a human being. And guess what? They come from limited scopes. All of them. That's just how it is. Again, your point doesn't really prove much, besides people make mistakes when working quickly, being sick, and at very poor hours. I think childish prick is the best decription I have, considering the circumstances. Could you think of any more fitting terms? To point it out is fine. Pretending it's some grand example of how i know nothing is idiotic. But, if you want, continue to dwell on it. Whatever makes you feel better. If you want maturity, act mature. It's hard not to respond in kind at times. What if UofM didn't mean Maryland, or Mass? Again, I guess that goes how limited a view of the world I have.</p>
<p>"Wow, as if that isn't amazingly freaking obvious, as I, like you, are a human being. And guess what? They come from limited scopes."</p>
<p>Those who come from limited scopes should not attempt to give or contradict advice that extends beyond your experience.</p>
<p>"If you want maturity, act mature."</p>
<p>So when you call others a "childish prick" that demonstrates maturity, right? </p>
<p>"What if UofM didn't mean Maryland, or Mass? Again, I guess that goes how limited a view of the world I have."</p>
<p>Maryland is usually "UMD." University of Mass is usually "UMass." "UofM" is usually Univ of Michigan, and a google search will quickly suggest that as an alternate search parameter. "UofM" is NEVER UC Merced. Yes, it goes to show what a limited view of the world you have, along with other things you've written so far.</p>

<p>I said all humans come from limited scopes. So no one should talk about anything?</p>
<p>My calling you a childish prick did not demonstrate maturity, but your stuborness and idiocy is very frustrating at times. I am not sure if you realize that. </p>
<p>See that last paragraph. It's you again, being persistent on something meaningless. ON and on and on. Talk about something important, buddy, seriously. how many times can we go over that point again and again? Look at the time, look at the context, believe that I wasn't feeling well (or not, I don't care), and move on with your life. Please? For the sake of not being annoying? You could do it, I have faith in you. If your arguments are so strong, why can't you talk about them, and not me? Why does it all come back to me, how much I fail at life, how much of an idiot I am, ect? Move. On. With. Your. Life. Talk about some other point. Stop dweilling on this insignificant, unimportant, waste-of-my-time-point. I'm going to, so if you continue, I'm going to ignore it.</p>
<p>"I said all humans come from limited scopes. So no one should talk about anything?"</p>
<p>Your premise that "ALL HUMANS" come from "limited scopes" is flawed. </p>
<p>"My calling you a childish prick did not demonstrate maturity, but your stuborness and idiocy is very frustrating at times. I am not sure if you realize that."</p>
<p>Actually, what's happening is that you don't quite realize that 100% of your responses are absolutely retarded. You have zero reasoning ability, you have a dizzying intellect, and you have the reading comprehension of a 10th grader. I say all of these things honestly...and I don't think YOU realize it. So when I respond in an appropriate manner, you feel that I am being "stubborn" and "idiotic," when in reality, it's your own global inability to comprehend what I'm saying due to the above reasons. I'm not just saying this to be mean, I'm dead serious. </p>

<p>See, the problem is that you've tried to talk beyond your experience/knowledge base in other domains. For instance, when you tried to contradict facts about med school admissions that should be patently obvious to anyone with even just casual experience...then later (finally) admitted that you really didn't know much about the process. I beg you to please stop talking out of your a$$. If you don't know something, it's painfully obvious to everybody who does when you open your trap.</p>
<p>"If your arguments are so strong, why can't you talk about them, and not me?"</p>
<p>Because explaining things to you is analogous to talking to a zoo animal -- no matter what I say, you just...dont...get..it.</p>
<p>"Why does it all come back to me, how much I fail at life, how much of an idiot I am, ect? Move. On. With. Your. Life. Talk about some other point."</p>
<p>Because you just keep begging for more with your inane responses...like this one. </p>
<p>"Stop dweilling on this insignificant, unimportant, waste-of-my-time-point. I'm going to, so if you continue, I'm going to ignore it."</p>
<p>But sir, YOU are the one who keeps bringing it up! I just hit "reply" and respond to whatever you've written.</p>

<p>Your counterargument? Oh, you didn't supply one. Shocking.</p>
<p>I did have the reading comprehension of a tenth grader at one point. I think that was in the 7th grade or something. I have plenty of reasoning ability and intellect. Your inability to follow my posts is your problem, and not mine. I can well comprehend most of what youre saying, and I reason what actual arguments you supply just fine (though they are few and far between). Im glad that youre dead serious. </p>
<p>Casual experience is what, exactly? Going to a doctor is probably the extent of casual experience. </p>
<p>How come I understand each thing you say, and notice the lack of argumentation? Your posts are primarily ad hominem attacks. They lack substance. I get the sensible in your posts. I understand your attacks and how idiotic they are. </p>
<p>You have made the best point ever in this last post. It is a landmark event! Stop replying to you, and then maybe youll stop talking. Genius. They do teach useful things at UCR! Soon enough, my friend. Soon enough. Youll get your beloved last word, and I wont have to listen to your rants and lose my IQ points!</p>
<p>"Your counterargument? Oh, you didn't supply one. Shocking."</p>
<p>Actually, I did. If your premises are not true, then the conclusion you draw from is not necessarily true. I attacked your premise, and that was my counterargument. Of course, what I did flew right over your head, and you thought I didn't supply a counterargument AT ALL, which is not surprising.</p>
<p>"Your inability to follow my posts is your problem, and not mine."</p>
<p>Your inability to express yourself adequately with the written language is the problem.</p>
<p>"I can well comprehend most of what youre saying, and I reason what actual arguments you supply just fine (though they are few and far between)."</p>
<p>No, the problem is that you THINK you comprehend what I'm saying, but I only think your catching maybe 50% of it. See above example of how you completely missed a counterargument directed at you.</p>
<p>"How come I understand each thing you say, and notice the lack of argumentation?"</p>
<p>Your usage of the word "argumentation" might work denotatively, but it's awkward connotatively. i.e. Try not to use "big words" if you're not familiar with how they're used in a sentence.</p>
<p>"Stop replying to you, and then maybe youll stop talking. Genius. They do teach useful things at UCR!" </p>
<p>Woh, I thought you said you went to Berkeley.</p>
<p>UCRiverbed</p>
<p>You merely stated that my premise is false. You did not provide any reasoning as to why that is the case. I understand what you did, you said something was false, which would lead to a false conclusion. However, you did not state why it was false, so there was no counterargument.</p>
<p>I can express myself quite fine, no need to worry about me.</p>

<p>I was being sarcastic, and you had trouble understanding me, again.</p>

<p>This is another domain in which you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, yet you try to sound like you do. If someone challenges your premise, it's up to you to defend it. The challenge, in and of itself, constitutes a counterargument. </p>
<p>"I was being sarcastic, and you had trouble understanding me, again."</p>
<p>Your track record for sarcasm that is only apparent to yourself as well as frequent nonsensical responses makes it difficult to decipher some of the subtle undertones that you claim. Just a little piece of advice - if someone consistently complains that you are not understandable, and points out in several circumstances where you have erred, there just might be some merit to that person's complaints. </p>
<p>UCRiverbed</p>
<p>If that someone appears intelligent and attempting to help me, I would probably take in under consideration. You really don't fit either aspect. You have pointed out errors that were factual, two particular minor things which were corrected. The error is not in the use of language. In that, I'm fine.</p>
<p>Also, you could challenge my premises forever and ever. I could easily imagine you being a kid asking "Why? Why? Why?" I have to start somewhere. If you think my premise is false, disprove it. You want a proof? Every person can only perceive the world from their perspective. No human perspective is infinite. Therefore, every human perspective is limited.</p>
