Well, your original post wasn't exactly a model of clarity and seemed to be based more on emotion than logic (I could have sworn that I heard you grinding your teeth when you wrote it). So it would be helpful if you stated your claim precisely. Who knows, it might not be as ridiculous as some of the language in your first post made it seem.Originally Posted by bslo
This thread is to some extent about emotion. Should you feel inferior to ivy leaguers? The answer (in my opinion): no. I think the intelligence and "superiority" of their graduates is at best overrated and also highly subjective. As others have said-- most of us have a myriad of personal examples of people going to a state school and doing on par just as well if not better than ivy leaguers. Stop attacking my "clarity". I thank my personal god you are not my law school professor...

Well, I was going to retort that I thank god you were/are not my student, but, having reconsidered, I accept your position. You intended to make a point (vague and unclear as it was) based on emotion and not logic or reason. You did that and it should be evaluated for what it is worth.

You must be a joy. The whole world is yours to review and critique. I am unsure if you even have a counter argument to my arguments at this point, so it appears you shift gears to attacking the "clarity" of my argument.

IUB in the fall, right when the leaves are turning, is possibly one of the nicest campuses in the country.
I would have to say Bucknell is up there on the list of gorgeous campuses. And year round mind you...
