Earlier in the week, I posted a video of reactions from students when asking them to sign a petition calling for the redistribution of GPAs.
I thought I would also upload some of the raw, unedited conversations I had with the students and post them here for you guys to see. Enjoy.

I used this analogy on my siblings many years ago. They got up to speed pretty quickly after that. I continue to use it because it works so well.
It’s discouraging to see so many young adults with mushy thinking. No logic there at all.
Their critical thinking skills work pretty well when they see themselves having to give up what THEY have worked for. lol
They haven’t had their tax money redistributed to worthless takers, because they haven’t had any taxable income. Give them a few years and they will feel mugged just like the rest of us that actually work for a living.
redirect site is lame. direct youtube links:

Is it me, or do these “College Students” sound pretty dumb?
They speak poorly and they cannot articulate their thoughts or defend their core beliefs, that is if they had any core beliefs. Empty heads full of mush and they still maintain a 4.0 GPA, amazing.
Of course, I really can’t criticize them because I didn’t finish College. I just worked my way up from an entry level Mail Clerk position to a Regional Vice President over the course of a 30+ Career at a Fortune 500 Company.
Bill Clinton had it right, I must have been the winner of Life’s Lottery. My hard work and dedication had nothing to do with my success. /S
achieving a 3.25 or better is not very difficult in most universities. show up, listen, and recite what the teacher told you. do not inject independent thinking into any subjective material, unless it is inline with the professor. they have no desire to engage you in a debate. each of them are gatekeepers put in place to insure certain mentalities move along with the grades of approval.
meaning, you’ve been deemed worthy of being able to recite progressive thought. (thereby insuring those that take the reigns of power are aligned with their thinking)
this mechanism is in place all the way up the chain. from elementary school onwards. they control the test scores. they determine your future. i finally learned it my senior year of high school. it was smooth sailing after that, as all my subjective work was tailored for the teachers.
in college, getting anything north of a 3.8 requires more effort, and is usually difficult to fake (i just couldn’t do it in my ‘peasants & society’ class... squeaked a B minus and the professor hated me)
Reality splash for students ping
I blame it on the pot.
Marijuana turns the brain into liberal mush.
I could have graduated with honors, but I wasn’t conformist enough. They wanted nonconformist work and I refused to conform to their nonconformity. Is that not twisted? *sigh* The degree is worthless. Like Prager says, college makes you stupid!
