Yeah, because that's how you bring about change. We wouldn't have achieved things like women's suffrage and the Civil Rights Act and same-sex marriage if not through protest.

But the case I was talking about, the University already issued a letter and the petition against the professor and for the university was signed already by a number of the teaching faculty, i.e.. other Professors.

Even after he was issued a letter, they still had protests, and continued to circulate through different media outlets. No one else committed this, and the professor in question had been dealt with appropriately. However I see your point, I just don't agree with how the students went about it for so long.

Okay, so do I. That's democracy.

Well, there's the VP being openly anti-LGBT in his policies. So you can expect marriage equality to go to hell.

So did having good faith in humanity kick you in the butt?

Damn I should have previewed it. The "to be continued" part is really corny.

Ooops. Should have at least guessed that.

It's the FF victory fanfare.

Whoa.. so lost

Duh duh duh-duh duh duh duh duh-duh! Doo doo doo doo-doo! doo doo doo-doo, doo doo doo doo-doo~!

Everything is. I can't be happier. But I am a moron.

Is everything sorted out now?

I knew that looked funny.. and I don't have a dog. Just a group of really great friends.

I didn't even know you had a dog.

Je m'excuse.

For future reference, the ce in that sentence is not necessary

Again I overreacted... why.

i agree,
i always have a good faith in humanity, but that will problably kick me in the butt sooner or later :o
nothing stolen so far!!
hope you had nothing important in it?

Yeah your right. Why have I let my self fade? Sometimes I just honestly want to cry but can't. This holiday I need to recover, re-find my self and grow up.

That stubborn persistence is exactly why you push on though. When the odds are against you, becoming dissuaded and giving in does you no good.
