I had and still have no interest in making friends with people who bring their internecine bullshit from abroad into my country. They're supposed to be here in the first place to get away from that crap, not to stir it up on another continent. I had enough to deal with just from Quebec nationalists. I didn't have time for BS from the Middle East. If you're not into partying, sports, and getting laid, why even bother going to college to begin with?

I think that Yale says the same thing in their marketing materials.

Agreed….and in retrospect I think this was largely their intent, which makes it’s particularly insane to witness it kinda working.


they went above & beyond what anyone reasonably thought possible, doing so in such a vile manner as to foment as much attention & hatred as possible worldwide, while trying to entice Israel into as strong a response as deserved…..with the hopes of garnering support in the region from other Islamic countries & potentially even kick off a holy war that just grows & grows.

not saying it’s going to happen….but it’s fucked up that it’s far enough down that road that you can see the turn off for it.

Specifically to your WWIII point, it feels far more plausible today than it ever has at any stage of the Ukraine-Russian conflict.

Nah. This is just yet another Middle East conflict like we've had a million times before. 55-odd years ago the Six Day War, Vietnam, the French in Algeria and Soviet tanks in Prague were all happening at roughly the same time. Shit, El Salvador and Honduras went to war in 1969 over a fucking soccer game. What's happening now isn't special. It's just "Cold War 2: Electric Boogaloo".

And your posts demonstrate how myopic you are. You are too emotionally involved to be rational about it. It seems like the end of the world to you because it affects you on a personal level. But just like the conflict in Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, while a big deal in the region, has limited impact in the rest of the world. Yes, we are affected in a tertiary way and there are a few demonstrations in North America just like there were over the Ukraine, but this is not the start of a global conflagration. Only Trump becoming President again would make that a possibility and it's not gonna happen.
