  1. Re:Mental health issues... on WHO Classifies 'Gaming Disorder' as Mental Health Condition (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    All incredibly rare birth defects. A person is more likely to be born with an extra finger.

    The problem isn't that there aren't enough defined mental illnesses, it's that there are too many. The field of psychiatry has jumped the shark. It seems their only purpose now is to increase the number of paying patients to include everyone and then medicating the entire planet. They're just legal drug dealers at this point.

    There's no such thing as YY. What you meant to say was XYY, which is a birth defect effecting less than 1 in 1,000 males.

  4. I live in Louisiana and spend most of my time in the most rural areas. Again, I've never seen or heard of such schools here.

  5. Oh good grief. How many of these fundamentalist christian schools does your imagination tell you there are? I've spent most of my life in the most rural areas of the US and I've never seen one.

  6. Yes, all in the name of "diversity". Idiocracy here we come.

  7. When will they stop grading athletic performance as a measure for being awarded a scholarship or even accepted on the sports teams? My time in the 40yd dash should have no bearing on whether I can be the wide receiver!

  8. I'm an atheist who graduated from a Catholic High school almost 30 years ago. You have no clue what you are talking about, you just imagine all of those things and your narcissism compels you to believe it as reality.

  9. Not graduates in actual disciplines, there will always be demand for those. Graduates in gender studies and social sciences (that have zero to do with science), of course. Those only exist for Big Academia to continue their multi-billion $$$ scam.

  10. " A weighted GPA of 4.4+ ...."

    You've just demonstrated one of the more recent scams trying to game the admissions system. GPA's above 4.0 didn't even exit 20 years ago. But since there was a stigma attached to lesser scores and competition to get into university increased they invented ways to get higher than a perfect 4.0. Because everyone's child must be considered excellent even if they can barely read.

    "What's with this US obsession of distinguishing people into black, white, and asian?"

    Because there are fortunes to be made in the US grievance industry.

  12. Re: So it's turning into a community college? on University of Chicago To Stop Requiring ACT and SAT Scores For Prospective Undergraduates (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are limited seats at university. Of course there should be an entrance filter to accept the most viable students.

  13. Why even have grades? Heck, why not just issue college degrees with the high school diploma and skip collegiate classrooms altogether! Think of all the savings!

  14. With writing skills like that you might get accepted now!

  15. Not to mention most of those "Russian ad buys" occurred after the election.

  16. Those "Russian ad buys" were in favor of progressive causes though. They funded Black Lives Matters, Clinton campaign rallies, etc.

  17. Comey was covering his ass after "clearing" Clinton only to find out months later that Anthony Weiner had more of her classified emails on his laptop.

  18. No, Congressional testimony under oath.

  19. You don't have a degree in Gender Studies, therefore you are uneducated. How dare you doubt your betters in Government!

  20. Wrong. Clinton's intent is not mentioned once in the report. That is not its purpose.

  21. "As Secretary of State, she had the authority to declare what server are secure!"

    Not true. The Sec of State only has classification authority over documents originating with the Dept of State. The classified info they found originated in other agencies.

  22. "Comey arguable lost Clinton the presidency (or at least contributed to it) by announcing the email investigation etc at with what we'll call "very interesting timing", or at best amounts to simply bad luck for Clinton."

    Well then by all means Clinton should run again in 2020. Pretty please?

  23. foreign intelligence server = foreign intelligence agency

  24. Of course every foreign intelligence server had access to her server. That's what foreign intelligence agencies exist to do - not to mention it was Exchange 2010 with an internet-facing webmail login. Hell, I could've gotten into it.

  25. "Amusingly, her server turns out to have been more secure than the State Department server. The State Department got hacked, but the Clintons didn't. https://securityintelligence.c... [securityintelligence.com] "

    The OIG report released today SAYS that foreign governments had at least one of her emails marked Secret - from her server.
