•I would just like to express my support for the person who wants to vomit when people are overly excited about parenting. I, too, would run in the other direction if a man said he wanted kids.
•I will never stop loving you.
•To the beguiling girl who sat next to me in class, The is no crueler a hardship to a man than having to watch someone so angelic walk away. So I offer this thank you for letting me have the honor of sitting next to you. It was as kind a gesture as any. I bid you good luck and well wishes on your finals. P.S. Go, Washington Capitals!
•WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE COLOR SCANNER/PRINTER IN THIS WHOLE ENTIRE SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS TO USE?????
•really wishing I wasn't a muggle right now.. I'm pretty sure I could pass the OWLs and Hogwarts kicks this places ass
•@Feminist sex preference: I'm a huge feminist and I love being held down and dominated. It worries me a little that I have these fantasies of being overpowered by a man, but I'm glad I'm not alone.
•My female roommate is constantly "going solo" in our room (I've walked in on it more than once) and I'm begging you, PLEASE, knock it off! Our room smells like your private parts and I've seen you naked way more often than I'd ever want to. I'm so embarrassed to bring my friends back to my room to hang out because it smells like you-know-what mixed with B.O. :'(
•I think that one crazy black squirrel with the half-shaved head has rabies or something. I've never seen a squirrel act like that in my entire life.
•Clicking the "HR Payroll Connection" link makes me think of the Muppets and the Rainbow Connection. If only...
•Answer: Mingus played Bass, Coleman Hawkins played tenor sax. Hawkins did my all time favorite of "In A Mellow Tone" and Mingus wrote "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" in memory of Lester Young I believe. Theres other jazz fans here ;)
•"Call Me Maybe" is the best song to play while studying.
•Not only are not all comm majors sorority girls, not all sorority girls are comm majors. I know it's shocking that we are intelligent and hardworking, but you have to maintain a certain GPA to be in a sorority, and we all compete to have the highest GPAs on campus. Twice a week we have study hours together to ensure we're all working very hard. Get off your high horses, "sorority" does not equal airhead.
•I really enjoy how many other people responded to the bikini ranter. Good work team.
•Just discovered the tunnel between SIS and the Lib. THANK YOU QUEEN OF THE QUAD
•@“U know nothing about the EPA. You are dumb to continue to drink bottled water.” You obviously don’t read CNN or New York Times. Both have frequent articles about ground water contaminations. Especially in DC. Eagle rants won’t allow us to post links, or I would send you some. But just google it. Tap water in some places is very safe, yes. But in most places it is not. DC is one of those places. It has much higher than recommended poisons in the water. No drinking the tap water won’t kill you. But why risk it?
•I feel like the housewife debate is coming to a close. No one provoke it anymore. Leave the beast alone.
•@"PS No studies have found no melted plastic in water bottles (unless you microwave them). That means that all the studies found melted plastic in all the water bottles....which doesn't support your argument that bottled water is safe.” It was obviously a typo. Don’t be a tool.
•I'm scared you will stop loving me too.
•@“BUT, a lot of you SAHMs out there seem to be really delusional about what that really means.” Enlighten us….
•@"Silly hater, common sense is for eco-friendly kids!" lolololol
•Remember when we used to have a "top rant" nominated each week that the editor picked? Why did we stop doing that? Can we start doing it again? If not now, can we do it for summer rants, since they will be less frequent and the editor will have more time to pick a top rant? Please? I got top rant one time and it made my life.
•I really wish I went to a school that had the sorority I'm a legacy for. I really want to be in a sorority, just not any of the ones here.
•There is a Welsh guy in my LIT-101 class who reminds me of Cary Elwes during his Princess Bride phase and I think he's kind of awesome. Even beyond the superficial things like his accent and looks; he's one of the few people in that class who gives useful, intelligent feedback. Therefore I think he deserves his own shout-out. Iechyd da!
•Thanks for signing up for Cat Facts! You will now receive fun daily facts about CATS! >o<
•@Ranter that loves being a Republican: what does not having to take pills "just to get through the basic rigors of life" have to do with being a Republican? Or having a certain major? Or having a family and a girlfriend who love you? I don't understand you.
•The future freshmen use "wonk" positively. Nooooooo!
•Acutane people: do research but the best thing on the market is Acutane... treeoil? Do have a mental impediment, drrrr doctors only prescribe the drugs that companies tell them to. Your lack of knowledge about the medical community is appalling. Those lawsuits are merely trial lawyers trying to rip some more money out of businesses now that enviro law is out.
•Why does everyone freak out when there's slut shaming going on, but when a (presumably woman) is proud of her body, everyone gets insanely hateful? Yea, she may have been a bit sassy about it, but still.
•Someone PEED in my hallway. I just don't even know what to say about that.
•Seriously, the feminists back home/in high school were SO much less high and mighty. I can't stand it.
•I think Hufflepuff is one of the better houses in Harry Potter. Haters goin' hate but badgers are really bad@ss. What's wrong with being a loyal friend anyhow?
•@Why I love being Republican... I'm a conservative, but what does any of that have to do with your political views? Maybe you think your life is great because you lack the capacity for logic.
•@Newsweek Feminists Domination article... I agree! And weirdly enough, the older I get, the more actively feminist I get, and the more inclined I am to bring it up with partners. But I really identified with something they said a little later in the article about not wanting to be personally responsible for it. It's too taboo to suggest it yourself, you know? And I'm such a coward that even when it's recently been suggested to me, I said no :( #whyamIcausingmyownsexualfrustrations
•@”You definitely don't get to "choose what I do each day and when I do it". That was honestly one of the stupidest things that I've ever read.” Nice insulting with no logical argument in your defense. Actually you do get to choose what you do each day when you have kids. Newsflash: kids can’t drive. Therefore if you say you are taking them to the museum, they are going to the museum. As a parent you control the household resources. So yes, my friend, you do choose what the kids do each day.
•I think that people who complain about the women tanning in their bikinis are just self-conscious and need to grow up. Just because you're too afraid of your own body to put one on doesn't mean that you have to bully people who are confident in the way they look. Grow the f*ck up already and welcome to the real world.
•@Sometimes I get so lonely I call AU Central to ask questions I already know the answers to. Letts 1 South would like to invite you to our lounge. If you have a way to get here, please do. We always have people here and we love to chat!
•I have decided that I'm going to have forty children with forty different CrossFitters, and give them all to MCRD Parris Island as babies, to be raised from birth as little Spartan-Marines. That's doable, right? Ooh-rah!
•Why is it that the all the library keyboards are so greasy? Are there little Keebler elfs that rub fried chicken grease on them?
•@sorority girls running this school: i was 100% fine with you all until this rant - because other students dont "participate in almost every student activity/organization here, take full class loads, have internships/other jobs" and raise money for charity... you know this is AU, right?
•All I want is to be sorted. Is it so much to ask to get past the 5th chapter?!
•So let me get this straight. Plastic leeches into the plastic water bottles and contaminates the water. But apparently the plastic stays in tact and doesn’t contaminate soda or sugary drinks that are in identical plastic bottles. We are just taking out our anger on water, the healthy alternative to soda and sugary sports drinks. Makes perfect sense.
•Why did AU get rid of its nursing program?
•I don't understand the constant phonathon references. Can someone please explain?
•@Editor’s Note : “Someone can give consent after drinking. Someone else could have not given it. It's tricky tricky tricky tricky.” So how is one to know whether their partner has given consent or not? Have them sign a consent form? It seems as if this movement against date rape has morphed from logical discussion and legal terminology into a witch hunt to name anyone and everyone a rapist until proven otherwise. So glad I’m not a guy. But if I were a guy, I would dang sure be handing out consent forms before having sex with any AU girl.
•Where did god come from? I can't belive in a god, but I also can't not believe in a god. -stuck agnostic
•Taking kids to museums? That sounds like way too much work. I'm looking forward to housewife activities like shopping for a new melon scooper.
•We have so many rape support groups. Where are the support groups for falsely accused rapists? ya...
•@people who think stay at home moms (SAHMs) just cook and change diapers all day: A recent study in the journal Psychological Science showed that while we have long known IQ is 80% genetic, the trait of self control (which is extremely relevant for things such as grades, likelihood of drug or other addiction problems, etc) is only 30% genetic. This means that most of it is up to nurture. This is just one scientifically backed reason why being a SAHM is a wonderful career choice. Staying home and reading and playing games with your children increases their self-control.
•oh darling. you're going to make it through.
•AU students give me hope for the future of civilization. It’s AU students who are going to end world hunger, poverty, war, global warming, oppression of women and children, etc. I went back home over the weekend and visited my state school. The students there were only concerned with the latest reality shows, video games, beer pong parties, and celeb gossip magazines. I'm so so so so so glad I came to AU. I feel like I am with the people I have always dreamed of finding.
•Where is the lobbying group that is fighting to keep college costs as low as possible? Oh that’s right, there isn’t one. To those who are concerned about tuition raising out of control, write to US News and World Report and tell them to adopt writer Malcolm Gladwell’s idea of taking COST as a factor in the rankings. This would incentivize colleges to compete to cut costs. Call them or write to them and demand they adopt COST as a factor. The future of our generation is in our hands. Do we want to be “generation debt”?
•@You are what's wrong with society: There's nothing wrong with being comfortable with your body, actually its healthy, so why don't you contemplate your own confidence issues because that's clearly what this is really about.
•Wow, really? You hope some girl tanning on the quad gets an std. Thanks for being such a great person, because judging someone like that is so awesome, because it's not like there are things going on in her life that you don't know about or anything. You suck.
•Cats use their tails for balance and have nearly 30 individual bones in them!
Rant here!
