Man, now my eyes are doing that thing where when I get really stressed they spasm every thirty seconds or so. Like, the eye just shoots from left to right, and then resets. And it just keeps happening. And I'm so frustrated.

Being ignorant doesn't automatically make you a bad person, it just makes you a potentially dangerous person who can do bad things without realizing it.
And stop with this "liberal" nonsense. I was a Republican until a few years ago.
And yes, I am ignorant of a few billion individuals' lives. And?
And, nothing really. Partly talking out my ass here; bad headache, so bear with me.
Basically my point is that we, collectively, have a bad habit of defining sub-groups of people we don't like by ignoring the things we have in common. Entire communities become caricatured because it's easier to understand someone who opposes your beliefs if you think of them as being different on some fundamental level. It's human nature to feel this way, and we all do it, myself included. But it's in our best interest to recognize when we are judging too harshly, and try to find some kind of commonality instead, because if you can find common ground then you can begin to address those differences. Obviously you can't teach someone your point of view if you ignore them, but sometimes I think people forget that it's not that simple. You have to be willing to listen too, which not everybody is willing to do. I find that unfortunate.
Anyway my head's a little fuzzy ATM so I'll shut up now.

12:29PDT: Ideal apartments are listed on Craigslist.
12:33PDT: Sara messages me. I gush with her, and with you guys, for some time.
1:03PDT: I go back to checking Craigslist. I call re: the ideal apartments.
1:05PDT: They are all sold out already. The renter apologizes. He never sees them go this fast.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'd say ITT: Apartment hunting sucks, but it sucks all of the time, so it wouldn't be accurate.
Edit: Also: That sucks
Well, it would be accurate, just meaningless.
Like saying ITT: People talk about stuff.
True. The same holds true for saying ITT about anything in a thread really though.

It's cool man, I admire you for taking a stand against what you saw as illogic statements, but as the instigator of your rage let me assure you I am absolutely talking out my ass with a giant cheeky grin just like my av and icen was just coming along for the ride.

It's pretty much at the same level as getting so annoyed at a forum you put bracket in every post. Although I can perfectly understand that and found it really, really amusing.
But it sure does make it easier to work out some of the context of the title since I don't want to read every G&T thread.

That's the wrong words and you know it. It's got nothing to do with you Oboro. I exist independantly of you and don't think you are trash. Deal with it, it's a fact.
Ok I'm done.
Also re itt my mind exploded and then sort of braked to a stop and gathered it all back in and soothed itself and said it's ok sweety, it's ok, it's just logic, it makes sense.

Well, that's fine, but honestly I think your attitudes with regard to religion are extremely unhelpful. As someone who has spent a fair amount of time (with remarkable success) getting conservative, fundamentalist Christians to slowly reconsider their positions, you don't get anywhere by attacking their belief structure out of hand.
Religious fundamentalism is symptomatic of a small mind, not its cause, but that too can be changed with time and effort. Many people when exposed to reasonable, sincere arguments that challenge their preconceptions will take the time to rethink their beliefs. But in introducing new principles you need to reconcile them with their faith, not try to tear it down. If you fail to do this, even if the person changes their views, you'll be left with someone who is truly faithless, and often quite angry. This doesn't do anybody any good.
Don't try to teach people that faith is bunk. That way lies only more pain, anger, and resentment. Teach them that faith can mean something different, something freeing and inclusive and malleable.

Once you guys figure out what the initialism in ITT Tech stands for, can you please tell me what University of Maryland University College is? I think it's a school or something but I'm not certain.

Every time I see ITT I'm reminded of ITT tech, and I want to know what the T's stand for.
I thought I solved it once, then I realized that "Tech" comes after the "ITT" part. So the word "Technology" isn't one of them.
What the hell?
That's where I begin. And then I think "Isn't tech short for Technical Institute? So what's the I?"
Maybe it's French and abbreviated like how SI stand for International System of Units even though there are not enough letters and they're in the wrong order.

I don't actually try to change anyone's mind regarding a religion. I interpret what they are saying in terms of more helpful practical stuff, but if they want to believe in a god I will take no action. I just seethe.
Nobody is going to care what I say about it on here though, or be convinced by me. It's too impersonal for something like that.
