<p>if nothing antisemitic were said, i wouldnt have had to respond the way i did</p>
<p>Don't make excuses. You could have responded any number of ways that showed more intelligence and maturity.</p>
<p>This thread is scary. El duque, would you like to retract your original statement?</p>
<p>i mean i think the clarification should render it obsolete, but ill retract it anyway. i didn't mean what i literally said.</p>
<p>To everyone who rebuked me for my response,
Would you have answered so differently? </p>
<p>[Moderator comment by tokenadult: Yes, as a matter of fact, I would have.] </p>
<p>Lastly, if my statements offended anyone, I apologize. </p>

<p>....Kafka, i wasn't being anti-semitic. by crazy i meant overwhelming. Second of all, I'm jewish too...</p>
<p>Come on, everybody, group hug!</p>
<p>Seriously, can we move on from the Jews? Yes, they compose a third of Emory's students. Yes, studies show certain groups have relatively high IQs. No, none of this really matters.</p>
<p>el duque, in my last post, what Jewish stereotypes did I exhibit?</p>
<p>ohman442, try using "Jew*ish* life" as opposed to "jew life." I don't think it's necessary that I explain the difference in tone between the two.</p>
<p>ANYWAAYS, back to the original topic:
I hate how freshmen can't drive. :/ That really sucks.</p>
<p>I have to weigh in on this ridiculous exchange. My D is a sophomore at Emory and as I have posted in previous posts, she is extremely happy - academically, socially, personally, ec, etc. She has friends of every ethnicity and background. In her sorority, there are girls who are Jewish and those who are of other religious backgrounds. They all appear respectful of one another. I have met many of her friends and this is NOT representative of Emory students. PM me if you wish to discuss further. </p>
<p>As for what D does not like, hmmmmm.....could have more healthy food choices but the new food guy is working on that. Truly, D has not complained about anything.</p>
<p>To anybody who attends Emory: do the students there tend to be fairly intellectual and/or enthusiastic about whatever they're studying, or does Emory tend to be the type who, while smart, are only there for a degree and ultimately a high-paying job?</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of the students in the B school are the type looking for a high paying job and those in the college are really enjoying what they're studying. Although this is a total over generalization, I feel like it's the best answer, too. You're going to find both types of student here most definitely.</p>
<p>I am in the Bschool and I enjoy what I am studying. I enjoy it a lot more than the college.</p>
<p>well, to lighten the mood:</p>

<p>courtesy of Reader's Digest; haha i know theyre lame but theyre sorta funny in that "theyre so stupid theyre funny" way</p>
<p>hahaha this post thread makes me laughoutloud</p>
<p>on another note, has anyone here been involved with biology/biochem research?</p>
<p>The one complaint I have is the bidding system for classes. It often just feels like guess work or luck to get into your desired courses. BUT there is the add/drop/swap period, which can be used to radically change you schedule.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm Jewish and have friends of nearly every ethnicity and religion. These conversations have gotten RIDICULOUS and do not well represent Emory students.</p>
<p>DayDream: how hard is it exactly to get the classes you want/need? I've look at what I'd need for NBB and pre-med plus a few classes outside these areas I'd want to take, and there doesn't seem to be much room for not getting the classes in the right semesters.</p>
<p>Kakfa: You ever see the movie "The</a> Hebrew Hammer"? "Part Man. Part Street. 100% Kosher." I think you'd explode in anger.</p>
<p>Most likely, you'll always get the courses you need when you need them. It's just that it won't always be with your first choice profesor or time. For example, nearly EVERYONE will bid on a 12:50 class if the other option for the course is at 8:30. And when the results of bidding are up on opus, many people will have just been automatically placed into the early morning class...even if they did not bid on it.</p>
<p>I just find the bidding systerm fustrasting because while you're in the midst of it, it offer seems like you WON'T get into the classes you need. But 99% things work out just fine in the end.</p>
<p>jmw123 - i love that movie. the humor in that movie is clever and not offensive. i also happen to love Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat. Those are two examples of humor poked towards Jews that is not offensive. In fact, the character Borat serves to ridicule antisemitism.</p>
<p>kafka89: Now that it's been determined that you are not even an Emory Student, what is it that you don't like about Emory? That's what this thread was intended to discuss.</p>
