Alright. My comments on janus314.blogspot.com are here!

Boy. This isn't starting out too well. I quote: "the reason college is harder is because its waaaay easier to get behind, since instead of daily assignments you have huge long readings to do that pile up, essays that sneak up on you, and deadlines you forget about." Here's a thought maybe college is "harder" because you can "hardly" speak English. There's this innovative system out there that involves sentences that begin with big letters.

I know. I know. Shocking.

In the real world people make judgements about you based on the way you appear and behave. In the Internet, we can't tell if you're wearing a greasy ten year old M*A*S*H t-shirt covered in mayonaise and mustard stains or see that you weigh more than a beached whale, but we certainly notice when you are about as eloquent as a tire iron and have the grammatical skills of a mollusk.

Reading further down the page we get constant mindless babbling about what college or university is. News flash: We don't care. We're either at college already (hi Mom!) or we were before, or we just don't care. You're not offering some kind of deep insight into the world around you, so why bother spewing your seed onto the Internet?

I mean... listen to this brilliant commentary. "eugene, college is harder then uni." You know, you should start sentences with a big letter, children. This was the entire post. Just a declaration with absolutely no evidence, not even anecdotal or circumstantial evidence to support the statement. Why exactly are we to believe that a (junior) college is more difficult than a university?

This continues. "i agree it's so sad" follows up another poster. WHY do you agree? Do you actually think, or do you just spew shit out at high velocity? What is your intention here? Maybe people shouldn't be allowed to have a 'blog' if they don't have a defined purpose for it. Why are you telling us this worthless shit?

And while I'm at it, there's another innovative new system. It involves using PUNCTUATION when writing sentences. Imagine that! Punctuation! What will they think of next?

For the record, I imagine some junior colleges are harder than some universities, whereas other universities are harder than other junior colleges. There's a rather wide variety of schools, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Another thing to consider is the strengths and weaknesses a particular person may have.

I found De Anza College largely a piece of cake, excepting math. I'm not very good at math and I had shitty teachers, which made it a nightmare. The English and history classes and such, even the hard ones, were a breeze for me. Same thing at Delta College, except that I had one really good math teacher, one completely awful teacher, and one pretty good teacher. Now that I'm at San Francisco State University, I have to tell you that the English classes aren't really HARD for me, but they require a lot more effort on my part. They are not a breeze. I actually have to work at them. So, in my experience, your statement is false. Since I provided some evidence (in the form of the anecdotes above), my argument wins by default because you failed to provide even the merest hint of evidence.

I can't be bothered to go deeper into this pit of inanity, but I hope I've provided you some criticism with which you can learn to improve. Or, better yet, just burn your fucking blog. Save the Internet! Get off of it.

(Why do people keep emailing me to have me attack their 'blogs'? While I understand that feedback is important, I've stated my intention to scald and scold and not be very nice about it. Is this what people really want?)
