Quit being so gay.
If you had asked me this 6 months ago:
My college sent LORs to my top choice school twice to ease my paranioa. Said school somehow managed to lose both of them after notifying me I was complete and not tell me of the error until 2 1/2 months later - postponing my interview by that much time. FML.
But these days, not that big of a deal. Still am going somewhere...just not there.

haha, I'm guessing it's Carver... same thing happened to me this morning...
I agree, your life is f***ed!! (1)
you deserved that one (1)
dude
dude!
DUDE!!!!
are you serious? PLEASE tell me you're kidding. If not, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you. I was kidding. I was f'in kidding dude.
Wait a minute....like saying "gay" for homosexual instead of its "actual" meaning - happy???
Hello, language evolves. "Actual" meanings change. I'm totally opposed to discrimination, but people using words in ways you don't like does not (always) = discrimination.
Exactly. Society and common usage ultimately determines a word's meaning.
And I've said this before the last time someone got offended, but since when has SDN become politically correct? The only benefit of being on a high horse is that you don't smell your own ****.
Yes. And the reapplicant forum. And the post-bacc forum. And the non-trad forum.
For so many reasons, FML.
haha this is an awesome line!
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but phospho has THE creepiest expression in her avatar. I feel like I'm staring at a character from one of those 60s horror movies.
Say what you will about the world's most beautiful composite. I think they should pick a better hairdo for her, though.

How is not wanting to read people using "gay" as an insult being on a high horse? If I were calling people(or school, situations, whatever) **** or n*gger left and right, I would be banned. SDN is "politically correct" to a large extend. Hell, you can't even use good old Anglo-Saxon words like "f*ck".
(edited because it censored the word n*gger, further proving my point)
This thread is Gay.
As debbidala said, it becomes presumptuous when you accuse others of insulting homosexuals because they use the word differently from how you use a word.
Ask any linguist and they will tell you that society and common usage determines the meaning of a word and that the meaning of a word is subject to change. With a word like "gay" used so frequently, it's no surprise that its meaning has changed so rapidly.
Just because one person does not agree that the word's meaning has changed does not mean that he/she can accuse others of being "hateful." Describe that posturing however you want. I describe it as being on a high horse.

Whatever, you're f*cking dumb as a n*gger.
(It's okay guys, I just use that word differently! It's totally respectful and civil so mods, don't get concerned!)
Oh and see also: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=629034
thats cuz of the passport photo effect though. you either look like a creep or a tool. phospho does have that classic face, but people would look very different if they fully smiled. now if phospho still looked like a nut... she should update the pic
As I'm sure others will tell you, that's not a real person in the picture.
Nope. "Gay" is a term used to describe the homosexual community in a descriptive way, just as it would be fair to use the term "black" or "white" or "Chinese" or "Arab" for other populations.
If, however, we described this thread with slurs such as "***", "d*ke", or whatever else is an anti-gay slur (I can't even think of any), then your point would be relevant. As it stands now, however, you're just bringing in non sequiturs.
Fine, you're dumb as a black arab.
Yellow ch*nk is more accurate.
There are some things worth arguing over. This is not one, binko.

Why was she bleeding out of her eyes, and are your friend's pregnancies accidents or are you just worried about them? FYL 🙁

Hey what's that? *Points WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over there*
Why, I think it's the point of this thread! How about we go from "here" back to over "there?" Oh, and blahblahkeepitcivilblahblah...

Why did binko get probation? I think it's fair to say that she didn't mean to be insulting.
Y'all needed a break from the attempts to make premed life sadder than it is.
But yes, we'll now resume regularly scheduled programming.
God it's so ugly.
Haha, I know this goes completely against the point of your post but...
If every mod could think of as clever a way that you just did to say "keep it civil", I would never resent any mods. Bravo GSG.
Agreed. It was almost Coxonian, but less annoying.
I'm confused. How are there replies or multiples lines to the text?
These are multiple texts or conversations has through texts
So they just copy/pasted the text in their text to the site? I feel like a n00b asking these questions.
I wish she had cat friends. Then she wouldn't hella freak everytime she saw a cat at night and wake me up at 3 AM.
