I left the academic womb years ago. And I do not commit namby pamby whimpering. The only time I whimper is when I have to read drivel about how some group of people is inherently worse than some other group of people. >Wake up!

(Emphasize: SOME) But, the majority are a bunch >of stupid-ass weeds who barely made it through high school and astually >believe that because they play football (or some sport) they *deserve* >a free ride. They will also feel inclined to smash anyone's face >who thinks diffently. WOW! He let go of the keyboard long enough to actually speak to someone else. Tell me, was this in the tty room or did you actually go to the Phys Ed building to find one of these paragons of stupidity? Hey, I worked as a campus patrol drudge back when my ears were almost as soggy as yours. I SAW the types you complain about. I had to testify in court against one. The problem isn't that they're jocks, it's that they have rich daddies and mummies who spoil them rotten. Or they come from a part of town where the only way to survive the walk/bus ride from school back to turf is to be meaner than anyone else. For some reason, possibly related to the quality of your "amateur" sports program and the people who run it, this is the kind of people who get recruited. I bet you DO have a large number of jerk-type jocks there. I bet you have a similarly large number of jerk-type OTHER people there. Have you been to the School of Business or School of Law or the ROTC lately? These places ALSO attract jerks. Not that they are ONLY inhabited by jerks. > ... Don't get me wrong, I like sports. To watch & >participate. You see, jocks are not just people who play sports. >They are a special breed. The ones who think as above, that because >they are out on the gridiron for a season the world is rightfully thiers. >In general, I have found jocks also to be extremely bigoted and chauvanistic. Gee, I find the same thing to be true of non-jocks. In fact, the population of this net contains a fair number of bigots and chauvinists. >(Then after his crying jog, hutch writes:) > >> Y'know, I bet that if Michael ever had to deal with real live human beings >> instead of with the stereotypes he imposes on everyone around him, the >> culture shock of entering the real world would fry his tiny little brain >> and then he'd end up a drooling idiot fit only to play the "villain" part >> in a standard professional wrestling tag team. >> >> Wake up, Michael.

By the way, what's wrong with singing? Or are you tone deaf in addition to being a geek? Hutch (I don't practice what you preach because I'm not the kind of person you think I are.)
