<p>Good thing I’m applying SCEA, then, eh, princessbell?</p>
<p>Blame my mother.</p>

<p>Perhaps, but that is essentially saying America’s status as a democracy is more important than America’s status as a Republic. Would you have put school desegregation to a vote in the South during the Civil Rights movement? Of course not. When it comes to the rights of a minority group (and gays do indeed fall into this category, no matter if you are pro- or anti- gay marriage) the issue must be left up to the courts, because allowing the majority to simply decide will crush minority groups. </p>
<p>It’s a fact, and without it, we wouldn’t have inter-racial marriage, school desegregation, and women’s suffrage (okay, not a minority, but a disenfranchised group). Perhaps HUAC would still exist!</p>
<p>Allowing the will of the majority to decide the fate of the minority is wrong: without the courts and higher bodies, we’d be a backwards-facing wreck of a bigoted country.</p>
<p>Sorry for the rant, but America’s obsession with democracy can drive me crazy. It’s important for keeping dictators out of power, but since when were the common people of a country making decisions for the GOOD of the country and society?</p>
<p>I’m finished. Continue with the regular discussion.</p>
<p>haha, “eh” is actually one of my favorite 2 letter words. It reminds me of Great Britain and tea and the film Once. you’re back in my good graces, ironmetal :).</p>
<p>I would have gone to Yale, but:</p>
<p>-Rory Gilmore already graduated.
-I look fat in navy blue.
-for my own sanity I cannot live in the same state as OCD Martha Stewart.
-I won’t settle for a faux Oxbridge
-my odds of gaining my MRS degree are slim: “1in 4 maybe more, 1 in 2 maybe you”
-Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull gave me nightmares.
-Taylor McKessie from HSM3 decides to go there–gag me.
-an owl delivered my acceptance letter to Hogwarts.</p>
<p>And after writing all of these, Yale is still my number 1!</p>
<p>haha, i loved all of those so much…</p>
<p>I would have gone to Yale, but Connecticut is too big of a state.</p>
<p>I would have gone to Yale, but If you take away the first letter you get “ale”.</p>
<p>How would it sound to go to “Ale Unviersity”?</p>
<p>JKxD</p>
<p>I would have gone to Yale but in the interview I recounted about how last week, I saw a film, (as I recall it was a horror film), and I walked outside into the rain, checked my phone and saw who rang and I…</p>
<p>Someone get the reference, please.</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m out in the cold to that reference. xP</p>
<p>So…imagine ‘that’ happening in the interview.</p>
<p>I can’t even begin to imagine how someone would deal with ‘that’ happening.</p>
<p>… but Elihu is a weird name. Seriously, who names their kid Elihu?</p>
<p>…I have to get in first. ;)</p>
<p>I’d rather have my son named “Elihu” than “John” you know? lol</p>
<p>Haha, yes, Elihu does bring something a little more interesting to the table…</p>
<p>So, i would’ve gone to yale, but the WashU Discovery Weekend in Sept was just so Badass that I had to stay in STL.</p>
<p>im waiting to see if someone gets the reference, since i have a hunch tht a few CCers (is that the right term) went to that same weekend thing.</p>
<p>…it’s too cold.</p>
<p>lol at the SNL reference</p>
<p>@Illuminar/OneKingoneLife:</p>
<p>Honestly, if I were an interviewer and that happened, I think I would write the candidate a good review based on their incredible virility.</p>
<p>I’d write: Take him, most incredible applicant ever.</p>
<p>…they refused to make Po the Panda their mascot.</p>
<p>:( Darn.</p>
