People are retarded. If a lot of them think for a second before suing.. US would be a better place. The fact that you can go to court.. does not mean you have to.

Just kill the lawyers.

No, I'm being kinda serious - there's too many lawyers by far. Also, if you lose a lawsuit, you should end up paying for everyone's legal fees.

So, on Facebook, my wife made a comment on one of her friend's posts. This pompous jackass posted something in response to my wife and basically made fun of her (not by name) on Twitter.

I looked and this dipshit was a journalism major (LOL!) and guess what he is doing now? In law school -- at a tier 4 school. I laughed hard when I saw that.

Unless the market has drastically changed, the market for lawyers is still tough and who on earth would go to a tier 4 law school?!?!?!

He looks like a real douche too. Mississippi College of Law -- I had to look that one up. Comical considering IU has a tier 1 law school and IU-Indy is tier 1 or 2, depending on who you listen to, and probably cheaper. And that's just the Indy area -- Notre Dame also has a tier 1 law school.

That reminds me... a quiz in Circuits, apparently, most people did badly, badly enough that the professor was complaining at all of us. She did, however, mention that only two people got perfect scores. She then went on, sounding a bit confused and rather displeased (especially about the latter), that the perfect scores were from a biology major, and a liberal arts major.

Tier 4 takes anybody. Tier 1 probably laughed at him.

Then in recitation that afternoon, I found out the lib arts student in question was me. One of the two perfect grades on the quiz, out of fifty or more students. Epic lulz were had.

My rec. prof. also told me that I should be in EE, as he proceeded to hand back my first quiz (also full points), a 10/10 homework, and a 9/10 homework.

I acquired enormous lulz.

So, Bane is now running one point shy of a perfect total score after three weeks of the highest fail-rate course in the EE department, something close to a 60% failure rate (a stat she sounds very proud of).

I'd be one scary motherfucker in Jeopardy, except I take just a little too long on answers because of a lack of confidence.

If nearly everyone does badly that's usually a sign there's something wrong on the teachers side.

Don't get it. You are failing or everyone else is failing BUT you?

Yeah, I know that, all the students know that... but her words, to be the best of my remembrance (i.e. paraphrased), is that if you did poorly on the quiz, you need to work harder.

DERP?! o_O

This is also why teachers curve grades, to correct for cases where the teacher fucks up and gives a test that's too hard or didn't teach some material properly.
