Why not have a rant thread? When I was in the service, I could compile a small book weekly of the shit I noticed and that pissed me off. Now, not so much.
Unfortunately, there is no escaping stupid:
We have one of the ugliest, dysgenic, fattest people in our Technical Writing class. I feel somewhat bad for her given the hand she was dealt in the card game of life (we cannot particularly hate people based on that alone), but, however, she has no business being in an advanced writing class, much less college. This is what fucking pissed me off. I have to wonder if she will *pass* anyhow despite the obvious shortcomings in her intelligence. I had the gift of editing her paper today, and by the bleeding wounds of Christ, it was terrible. And that is to say nothing of most of the others who also cannot write for shit. I may not display the best prose on this forum, or in other mediums, but fuck if I don't throw 150% effort into my writing for school, with appropriate results following thereafter.
Perhaps everyone else is really just that mediocre or stupid, and the system really does make things convenient for them. Got to love the college market I guess: make money from whoever you can, even if it is obvious most have no business being there. I am willing to bet quite a bit on the fact my tuition payment (well, really, the VA's) went to partially subsidizing her presence as a mockery of education, or anyone else for that matter.
Peer-editing the papers of my classmates has always been something of a cause for high blood pressure. I just want to take all of their papers and put them through the shredder, and make them keep writing till they find hand in something at least worth wiping my ass with.
