But seriously I guess that is what happens when you go to the university of Texas which is a state with a very large hispanic population only to find there are more blacks, asians, and international students than there are hispanic. Institutional racism at its finest.
That and I never wanted to go to UT... I was forced. |
haha... yeah that sounds more like the student body makeup of an MIT or something. How were you forced into that? And, where did you really want to go? |

Economically I couldn't handle the burden involved with paying back student loans for private or out of state schools that rank lower than UT on the listing of top world universities (Texas is somewhere around #30-40 in the world). I should have gone to NYU, MIT, or CalTech. I owe $50,000 in student loans right now, so I can't really imagine what I would owe if I had gone to one of the schools of my choice.
I'm probably the first person you met who didn't like it because everyone who goes there thinks they're god's gift just because they went to THE university. And their heads are so firmly implanted into their anuses that you won't be able to convince them otherwise. |

MIT or CalTech? holy brainiac... what did you get your degree in? I hear you though; I had about $50K of student loans to pay back too and it hurt for a while |

That is the thing. Everyone who went to UT is really intelligent or they wouldn't be there. Like I said I think it is ranked like #35 in the world.
chemistry... i actually dropped out though and now i play bongos on the drag for rent money
actually it is #39 and at $4-5000 a semester you really can't beat the value |

| Yeah it's like U of Michigan or UF or UVA as far as being super high quality public universities... a rarity if you ask me. Chemistry is brutal man. I don't know how you got past those conversion tables changing grams to moles and vice versa. Thank god I only had to take 1 chemistry class in college :stongue: |

Yep they're the idiots who buy his music. I can hate someone and still take their money. That is an extra bonus. |

don't worry about what my mom thinks. The insults were just par for the course after your usual holier than thou comments. But thanks for pointing out the PUMA email's original text (not really)... I'm not sure what the point of that is because I don't care where my sig came from, be it A&M students, a PUMA email, or Osama Bin Laden; and whether or not it makes sense that it's the result of a campus wide contest; I like what it says and I made it my sig. I don't have to cite a sig like a damn newspaper article.
:rolleyes: |
I didn't tell you to edit it on your sig - I just said I find it amusing, and I'll stand by that.
As to your "par for the course" comment - the only ad hominem remarks I've made toward you were as a direct result of the plagiarism thread and I'll stand by those as well. So be mindful of who you retaliate against for being told to get AIDS/Cancer (which I've never said)... you're justifying your ad hominems with the fact that some third party once lobbed them at you. As the saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right, and you're certainly not winning any friends on this end either. |

You don't need a second of formal schooling to make BANK in organic chemistry. |

if you plan on producing ecstasy of lsd.
why do people on this board always discount the value of a formal education? formal education is about more than just learning. it's also about making connections that would be difficult, if not impossible, to form without the experience. it's also about external credibility. without a few letters behind your name most people don't take you seriously in a field dominated by formally educated people. |

Yeah I'd love to see anyone except a good formally trained organic chemist making real lsd-25. Will never happen. MDMA is somewhat easier (a lot easier), but still complicated enough that you would need at least two years of university chemistry lecture and lab courses to understand what you are doing and why you are doing it which is key to getting any sort of synthesis with good yields or decent purity. Not to speak of reducing the chances that you will injure yourself or blow something up that hand on experience in a teaching lab will provide. And you would need to know how to use equipment that you won't find or be able to get a hold of outside a chemistry lab.
Now meth is a different story. |
