and these are public schools.
and the church -- well, that was a church.
assembly of god.
the teenage youth there were pretty wild. into group sex and so on. they were a bit older than me. i wasn't into their youth group etc at all... i said something to the pastor there about how there were a lot of 'sunday christians' and he didn't take kindly to that.
i think there was quite a lot of marital affairs etc amongst the senior leadership.
apparently the youth group leader had a known background of interest in porn. i didn't know what kind of porn, specifically. if it was child porn, they meant.
so that's that church.
the summer camp... the government paid some conribution so that poorer kids could go to the camp. so my mother only had to pay $5 towards the cost of a 7 day camp and the government paid the other... I think it was around $70 back then.
so that would have marked me out as a child traficked by the state. to be abused. because i was one of the subsidied kids.

is that how it works at the private and ivy schools? the scholarship kids are there to be abused by the parents of the rich kids? because they room-share them so the poor kids get a rich kid to be their... um... i don't know. then they take them home to their parents house or whatever over teh summer...
is that how it goes?

probably. when the NY times is going on about graduate students complaining about various comments from a professor. I mean... I do understand that they were, perhaps, inappropriate comments. That is to say I understand how the comments might be thought amusing in some contexts or insulting or inappropriate in others. I do understand that there is an inbalance in power, there, where the graduate students did not feel comfortable telling him to his face that htey felt his comment was inappropriate.
But that's a little different from, say, refusing to get your work to external examienrs or refusing to allow externals to sign off on your qualification completion or refusing to allow you to continue with the qualification because you didn't pay a bribe or you didn't provide sexual favors.
i see they dropped the case.
i'm sure there are worse things that could be prosecuted, at Harvard.
i'm sure when they rescinded the offers of enrolment to studnets who raped people before the course started that there were various other people who should not have been enrolled (or re-enrolled) at that university.

So yeah. It's like sooooooooooooooooooo competeitive. Soooooooooooooooo comeptitive. Soooooooooo competitive.So many more people would be competent at x than there are people we need to enrol or acknowledge or train or whatever. That makes it soooooooo comeptitive
(then why are there never enough people competent at x?)
F*ck*ng psychopathy that's why
