Weird Things in Law School!

A guy gives a kid a gun, it falls while he is holding it and crushes the kids toe and it fires accidentally hits a friend. The guy would be liable for the injuries sustained by the shooting, not the crushed toe. The crushed toe was not reasonably foreseeable by the Δ, but not the toe. This is according to the restatement.

Logical according the the rules, but weird....

All up in Russia's grill!!!!

Back up off it..... Allright, everyone is all up in Russia's grill right now about this woman reporter who was killed. Now many of these people are saying she was "assasinated." Lets step back for a moment...I majored in communication studies, so I know a thing or two about language and sophistry....and this is it!! I mean assasination?!!! those words should be used for killings that can be corraborated....or the intentional killing of an imporatnt reporter (ie a male reporter)....anywhoo, I dont see how this is news considering the president of Russia is a former KGB operative....I mean c'mon, anyone who didn't see political opposition killed is just a dumbass....and people who activley protest are just suicidal.

P.S. All Hail PUTIN!!!

Rules and Dress

This is exactly what happens when you enforce a strict set of rules upon people who just yearn to be free.....someone kills a bunch of kids in a school....

Cut your hair, watch some TV, and eat some cheese puffs damnit. This is America.

We are all going to die....

So North Korea just tested it's first nuclear weapon...all I can say is... TOOK EM' LONG ENOUGH!!!!

Welcome to the club, we have a handshake and everything....

But seriously folks, we are all going to die....

P.S. Will somebody please hold me?

$%^$^'ing French....

So the French have changed their nuclear posture from quite peaceful to telling the world that if they get hit by a terrorist, then they will nuke them.... Question I pose is, "how will they know where the terrorists that hit them are?" I mean I believe that when we went to war with Iraq, the intel pointed to Iraq with a link to Al Qaeda....If France screws up like we did....then they would nuke them.....Weird eh?

Not stupid version below.

"So the French have changed their... [What follows is a string of useless commentary. God came down, scissored Gianpaolo between his Hairy Woman thighs, and filled his mouth with dumb cunny honey. Scattering his thoughts and tickling him in the asshole like a diet of fiercely omniscient malt honey would, GP fixed his Bizarro gaze on France because he's jealous that they have all that wine and butter and Sophie Marceau.] and then I flexed my meathammer and the World exploded. Fuck you."

An Ode To Nice Guys

Ode to the Nice Guys
This rant was written for the Wharton Undergraduate Journal

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.

The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

A Piece of Paper

So it seems as though the Iraqi Constitution has in fact passed. Now, a lot of my friends continually told me that this constitution was not going to, and that that was a given. I stood my ground, and continued to say that I was pretty sure that it would in fact pass. Well I have been vindicated. 78% of the Iraqi people voted for the constitution, only 2 provinces getting 2/3's of their population (it required 3 counties with this percentage for the constitution to be vetoed).

CSA The Movie

There is a new Spike Lee movie coming out called CSA: Confederate States of America. The movie asks the question: What if the South had won? Lee depicts the current United States as one still engrossed in slavery. What is really intriguing is the fact that this movie is filmed in a documentary-like fasion. They have created an alternate universe, and allowed the Confederate States of America do make policy decisions of our past.

Rhetorically, I find this immenesly interesting. Aside from that, I think that the movie is factually retarded. The South was slowly moving away from slavery, and yet in the movie, it still persists in 2005.

Here is the website to view the trailer. Inititally a fake ebay site called "eslave" will come up auctioning off slaves. Click any one of the links and they will take you to the index site with the trailer. I would like some feedback on what you think.
