Any personal references attached to that statement?

Well, there are certainly a few Cellar folks that may wish to reflect upon my statement.

What's wrong with 99 saying "goddess"?

Not to be a jerk or anything, but my best friend got nearly failing grades throughout high school, and middle school, and went to the nearly lowest rated school in the state, and was still admitted to Penn State, without any form of begging whatsoever.

Colleges barely give a damn about your grades. They want your money.

Slang -
You asked,"Yea, but can the 7 year old shoot?"
LOL...Can he ever! On video games, his eye to hand coordination is exceptional!

I'll see your bet, and raise you $20...Hint: I'm a Redhead.

You stated,"...but if you don't have a decent personality, nobody listens...nobody cares."

Dear Syc -
They start to listen and care real fast when that "intelligent kid" becomes their boss!
Sincerely,
Bill Gates.

Besides, is this a beauty pagent or a debate forum?
Few here would ever be named Miss Congeniality either!...I nominate slang and wolf for the Mr. and Miss Titles.

Stress puppy -
Not true, grade point average is the only thing academic Colleges DO care about more than money. If they don't have the prestige to compete for a big draw of applicants...there will be no money. Their reputations are on the line to crank out important people.

Penn State has athletic prestige, not academics.
So, they care more about making the athletic grade, same with UT and Texas A&M here in Texas.

Prestige is what gets and keeps the money flowing.

The fact that Cairo is not a goddess.

I don't think she claimed (yet) that she was ... I believe she was thanking a third-party omniscient goddess.

1. Beauty pagent, definitely. Haven't seen a debate here in MONTHS ...

2. in re: the nomination ...

cool. Thank you (*Wolf curtseys appreciatively*)

And by the way ... thanks for getting the "Miss" right ... "Ms." makes me damn crazy ... I thought it was a stupid construction when we first started having to use it in the 70s. I don't think that the change in linguistics has any major effect with respect to perception, respect, position, etc.

I'm a Miss until offered otherwise.

Wolf -
I hear ya!

Since there's no debate here, time for me to move on....too much spanking their monkey and not enough opposition intelligence for my liking. These posters don't even know proper thread starting and responding etiquette.

Oh, and Mr. blowmee has a severe comprehension disorder...must be contagious judging from others here who suffer from it as well. Don't drink the water.

wolf · 01-08-2003, 12:48 AM

Cairo, you just don't get it.

Loosen up a bit. Learn to have some fun.

You don't have to necessarily be open to changing your opinion, but listening to the others is a major part of what goes on here.

This isn't a debate club. It's a discussion board. Like it says up front ... this is a friendly little coffee shop with no coffee and no shop.

Treat it as such.

If she's gonna go, let her go!

You might be better off in one of the MSN or Yahoo chatrooms...the collective IQ of those places is about 23, so you should fit right in.

I disagree. Cairo would be outclassed there too. Perhaps Cairo should seek someone of equal intellectual ability like a child with down syndrome.
