Doesn'tMatter, I don't see why you hate on the legacy kids... other than that they might have gotten an easier way into the school. I know plenty in my philosophy classes, but they are all really chill. I'm sure there are plenty legacy kids at Cornell too. I don't even go to Harvard...
MIGHT have gotten in easier? It's not a question of MIGHT-
Out of the 1600 point scale for the SATs, legacy kids have a 160 point preference (full study by Princeton here: [url]http://opr.princeton.edu/faculty/tje/espenshadessqptii.pdf[/url])
160 points!!!
To them, college is just a game, something to do, not even to be taken seriously. They already have $70k cars paid for by mommy and daddy and their foot in the door for opportunities of great wealth. They didn't have to spend time working their way up the ladder, working lowly jobs, making connections, etc. They already had that. And they don't even appreciate it
And yes, there are way too many legacy kids at Cornell. A lot more at Harvard though.
I used to be in much the same mindset, Doesn't.
I've found though, as I've gotten older, that these kids generally are often so provided for that they are never really able to forge a great character, nor function as autonomous adults.
After seeing some kid panic, whine, etc. because that "$70k car paid for by mommy and daddy" broke down in the mountains, and then more of the same when he realized that we had to actually depend on ourselves for hitchhiking to a gas station, making towing arrangements and finding a place to stay for the night...I rarely feel resentment for this privileged part of society.
It's more along the lines of regret.

think of it this way: now your kids are guaranteed into Cornell.
I strongly disapprove of SAT point preferences. Let the best guy/girl in, and screw the rest.
Here's George Carlin about education. Funny and true; watch it.

Yeah, the SATs are harder for Asians right now. Before Asians it was the Jews and the Catholics. Blacks couldn't even get in.
Ohhh America...
I guess I have misunderstood your point, in that intelligence is not dependent upon the color of one's skin, or the background of one's heritage... it could be affected by their religion, though.Quote:

What he is saying is that because of admissions preferences in college (affirmative action, legacies, sports players), SAT scores by Asians lose an equivalent of 50 points (it's in the link of that study I posted)Quote:

i would seriousely ignore what everyone says about hiering a whore. getting every disease, parasite and infection under the sun is no way to loose your virginity.
try taking up a hobby class that lots of people attend. preferably people of the opposite sex who are your own age. this gives you something to talk about at least.
if nothing else yo get a new intrest out of it, even if you had no real intrest in it and paid mor attention to the people around you.
Right, because you can't get those diseases from average people......NOT. Funny thing is that some of these escort services get their people tested and I would trust being with one of them more than some random slut teenager from the suburbs named Jennifffffeeeeeeer, who probably is carrying everyone one of those diseases but doesn't even know it.Quote:

Yea, it tells me that screwing tested hookers is safer than a bunch of random girls.Quote:

getting AIDS is probably less then fun.
You kidding?! AIDS would be a blast! ...no one was claiming that it is fun. Just letting you know that the chances are that you can get it from ANYONE.Quote:

I would think if youre a hooker you would make it your business to protect yourself more than the average person would. I guess it wouldnt hurt though.. if there was some sort of car fax history report type deal to help you choose the right whore for you ;P
