Yes, it has changed drastically.

Students ROUTINELY march into professor’s offices to demand that any grades lower than B get changed now.

The reality is ALL evaluation systems gradually inflate over time. Same thing has happened in the US military fitness reports; basically, ANYTHING other than perfect on ANY aspect of them means you can’t get promoted.

And in the humanities and social sciences anything other than near perfect grades can really kill chances of someone geting into a halfway decent grad school.

Yes, I’ve constantly been referencing that image on NBC and I saw it, the problem is people got so infatuated with the Islamic “Ismail” thing they’re continuing to cling to it.

His roommate said he had an imaginary brother. And an imaginary girlfriend. He may have had more imaginary siblings the roomie was not aware of. :^0

This loser was apparently on his own personal jihad whether or not he was a jihadist. He may have simply identified with any/all destructive philosophies/isms that have oozed out of the bowels of hell (communism, nazism, Islamic jihad, whatever).

Agreed. I would add that he was also psychotic, although this is perhaps a distinction without a difference.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..but I post FACTS; unlike you.

Oh, "facts" like THIS?

The return address was A ISMAIL. What was written on his arm was ISMAIL AX.

Give it up. You're a maroon.

Check out these links:

http://ishmael.org/welcome.cfm
http://www.friendsofishmael.org/about/why_ishmael.shtml
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0553375407/readishmaelco-20

There’s a lot of leftist ranting at those links - the last one is the Amazon reviews for the original book by Daniel Quinn.

Thank you again. You are making things so much clearer for me. I suppose it may have done no good after all, even with the correct diagnosis.

The video clearly shows a psychotic young man to anyone with any medical background. It appears he had been acting out for months, but political correctness prevented his being institutionalized. Any Psych Hospital has people who exhibit these same ramblings, paranoia etc until they are medicated and treated. Some people tried to help, tragically those who should have known to intervene ignored the truth.

Who knows what it means, but it appears very likely the initial reports of Ismail Ax being written on his arm were incorrect.

And I got sick to death of reading it!

The threads of Marxist and Islamist radicalism intersect on our campuses and in other radical quarters.

A very pertinent observation.

His railing about hedonism, debauchery and degeneracy does NOT come from marxism. (It's hard to be more degenerate or hedonist than the radical left.)

But a lot of his other rants are straight leftist drivel.

I don’t think anyone was suggesting Cho was a devout Muslim well-versed in the Koran. If anything at all, he’s a sympathizer inspired by the violence of the movement. The significance of the spelling was probably completely lost on him.

Plus, we already know from his writing that he can’t spell worth a damn.

Yes, Ismail is part of the Koran, just as Ishmael is part of the OT, for Christians and the Bible for Jews. OTOH, "

AX

" doesn't. And yes, I do know that, which is why I can talk with certitude about the commingled names/words.

Those who know him from high school and college, who've been on T.V., haven't mentioned word one about any mention by Cho, of Islam. Yet as soon as this happened, people here have talked about how he had to be a Muslim......based on absolutely no evidence to back it up and they talked about as a certainty.

This article says some teachers gave him A’s because they were afraid of him.

Help me out, I can't find that comment

I've seen thousands of rants about hedonism, debauchery, and degeneracy on Free Republic.
