The Warring States of NPF - View Single Post - NP, I have some reasonable complaints about some people

Synk, I really feel like, if my professors had been teaching what they knew, like virtue ethics or mind-brain duality, they could have taught some outstanding classes. As it was, they were stuck teaching intro level stuff that they didn't care about, and I was stuck in the crossfire of their apathy. Hence why I posted it it a thread that didn't contain "hate" in the title. I don't hate them; I hate intro Philosophy, which is the only philosophy I'm allowed to take. Edit: Also, I implied that my experiences in philosophy were all that philosophy had to offer, which is mistaken, factually, but I thought the idea of the thread was to express frustrations in a humorous manner, and, as such, expressed my frustrations with my former classes in an exaggerated manner that I thought would be amusing. Of course, now I've ruined what joke there may have been by explaining it. I guess this edit and the proceeding paragraph should have been "Fuck you, Sync; you can't tell me what to do!" Too late to fix it now, I guess.

As for Mauve, I'm as sympathetic to the whole "God, you're skinny" thing as I've ever been. It has been a couple years since I've said that, so I thought it worthwhile to repeat myself.
