<p>...or is that another thing not to say on cc? ;)</p>
<p>that was to texas</p>
<p>In that case, thank you for your idiocy, but no thank you.</p>
<p>just chill, everyone...no need for the constant smackdowns.</p>
<p>I agree, begin the chilling process.</p>
<p>Now, can anyone think of more things not to say on CC?</p>
<p>I've written them all down I think.</p>

<p>How about "Princeton is better than Harvard" or vice versa. I know there are a couple of heavy posters who are ready to go to war over this.</p>
<p>Yeah, those debates are annoying.</p>
<p>What about this one? "My SAT composite score was (insert number<1500), can I go to (insert university).</p>
<p>The response will be, "No, (insert rude and unreasonable comment.)"</p>
<p>my personal favorite: "rest of the ivy league > cornell"</p>
<p>well... it is</p>
<p>"I've taken a recent hating towards all the parents who brag like crazy about their kids.</p>
<p>"My daughter got honor roll."</p>
<p>Don't you hate those stickers that say "My son/daughter is an honor student at (Fill in name) high school.</p>
<p>I have news for them, usually being an honor student requires like a 3.0 GPA which I could get in my sleep.</p>
<p>I really hate the bragging parents around here. I've read threads on the parents forum where people will ask for help and parents will come on their thread and say, "Well your 3.whatever is crap, my daughter got a 3.9."</p>
<p>"My son isn't liking school lately, it's too easy for him and he's not getting the proper advanced education he deserves."</p>
<p>I just want to kill those kind of parents."</p>
<p>Texasmathwhiz, I hate those type of parents with a passion as well. Worse however, are parents who flame at teens. I recently encountered one. The poster was dizzymom or something. I won't call her the b word for fear that I might be banned, but you know what i mean.</p>
<p>I hate those too. I've gotten a few of them. They think they know everything just because they are adults. They won't flame at other adults, but when a little teenager posts something they think they can pick at they'll do it.</p>
<p>Dude post a link to the thread and I'll defend you if it isn't over yet.</p>
<p>I don't how to link, but the thread's called "what's the best form of government?". I wasn't the one she flamed at originally, but you can take a look if you want.</p>
<p>What forum is it in?</p>
<p>It's in the cafe. Just search for "What's the best form of government" and you'll find it.</p>
<p>I just found one that makes me want to vomit.</p>
<p>"My son just finished his freshman year at Davidson. Mattmom has it right, work hard play hard and respect yourself and others would be the motto. I need to add that my husband, who is a pilot, flew him up after his last final ( Sunday afternoon) to be with us for Mother's Day. I'm still choked up. Davidson hasn't changed him he is still the great guy I se4nt him he is just more confident and fulfilled."</p>
<p>A quick agreement with another post, without any extra information first, at least it was tangential. Then a bunch of sickening and irrelevant bantering about her fabulous child.</p>
<p>Parents disgust me sometimes lol.</p>
<p>I did not like that quote either. Makes me think of that song</p>
<p>"Im sorry I can't be perfect..."</p>
<p>i haven't read the thread in context, but for someone who is looking for information about a specific college threads like that can be reassuring. not if it's just 'my son did x and got award y' type crap.</p>
<p>i just think people should be nicer to each other in general... :o</p>
<p>Try these. These are horrendous! </p>
<p>"Intoxicated, sober up and note that Alexander Solzhenitsyn is hardly a gross celebrity. You are free to question my judgement, but accusing me of "ruining" a thread is unjustified. Put my posts on ignore if they disturb you so, and use all that extra time to improve your social skills.</p>
<p>whatever, intoxicated. just trying to communicate on your level.</p>
<p>and, by the way, I think Paris Hilton has done an enviable job of harnessing the energies of capitalism. She's doing something very similar to what Madonna did, turning zero talent into a household name, with the only real difference I can see being that she's not a hypocrite about it. </p>
<p>How many HYP graduates have succeeded at her level at her age? She may not be able to write a paper on it, but I think she instinctively understands economics very well. If I was hiring, I'd rather have someone who knows how to apply it over someone who wants to theorize it on paper. Paris is laughing all the way to the bank.</p>
<p>Madonna is very shrewd, I agree. As is Paris Hilton. That does not translate to talent, nor does it have to. I would rather listen to Norah Jones, or Avril, say, than Madonna, but I do have to admire Madonna for how much she has built on so little.</p>
<p>As for Paris, I suppose to those whose heads are burrowed in the adult aisles of Blockbuster, the porn movies appear to be her entire resume. I hear that there's some question as to whether she might have been in cahoots with its release. But the porn thing was so ten minutes ago, as someone's generation used to say. Paris is renting herself out to open clubs and I think even has her own scent on the market. She is also driving mothers of pre-teens nuts in the same way Madonna did, as they try to emulate the lowest common denominator</p>
<p>I don't believe I ever said Paris was an economist, but I certainly believe she is a plum of an example of how anyone -- Madonna is a better example here because you could argue the Hilton name gave Paris a boost -- can make it in our capitalist society, so I see her as being instinctively aware of how to navigate the system. </p>
<p>I don't LIKE her any more than I admire Donald Trump for playing with other peoples' money and embarrassing himself on tv and trying to patent "You're fired". They make me cringe, and Madonna is the third in that unholy trinity by my lights. But yes, I grudgingly have to admire them.</p>
<p>As for "ruining the thread", consider how these people would have fared in your social democracy or under communism. If you still don't find it relevant, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but just because you aren't able to see the connection doesn't mean it isn't there.</p>
<p>Inttoxicated, I dont know why you persist in personal attacks on other posters.(I've noticed you've been banned, as well as the plentiful asterisks that punctuate your verbiage). If I had to put money on it, I would guess that bad habits from roaming Internet forums with less decorum than this one have followed you here. CC offers an opportunity to be your better self -- why not choose that option? You might surprise yourself and turn out to be someone you could like."</p>
<p>that looks like a civil discussion to me.</p>
<p>"sober up, use all that extra time to improve your social skills.
You might surprise yourself and turn out to be someone you could like."</p>
<p>would a civilized adult say such things to a teenager. You obviously didn't get the gist og what she was attempting to imply" the poster(intoxicatedsomething) was an idiot and that Paris Hilton is an economist.</p>
