		<description>&quot;What, you don’t think it took mighty, mighty balls for Takalaka to stand up in front of a room ful of women and other minorities and boldly assert his Straight White Male Prerogative!?!?&quot;


What, you think he said it OUTLOUD??  Where &quot;they&quot; could hear him??</description>

		<description>Christian Objectivists are probably people who can&#039;t quite abandon Ayn Rand, who got them through their tough highschool (or homeschool) years, but the College Republicans won&#039;t let them in unless they give up a &quot;Praise Jebus!!&quot; like they mean it. 

Same old, same old. In the early &#039;80s, some of my contemporaries were Randites, but quickkly got religion, as it were.</description>

		<description>Just when lolcatspeak seems to have run its course, along comes Mo to reinvigorate the genre. Christ that&#039;s funny.

And Billy Pilgrim&#039;s right, not that anyone was disagreeing. Mikey&#039;s lucky he doesn&#039;t know me; all I&#039;d do all day is pester him about that. Didja write your memoir yet? Didja write your memoir yet? Didja write your memoir yet? (the epilogue would be about how, long after leaving war behind, he snapped and killed the irritating guy stateside)

Of course, ideally, he would&#039;ve lived a life that&#039;d make for a dull book, but alas. Plus that doesn&#039;t seem to have stopped the McSweeney&#039;s types.</description>

		<description>Oh yeah, Christian Objectivists exist, at least online - I&#039;ve &lt;i&gt; never &lt;/i&gt; met one in meatspace. Amber Pawlik from &lt;i&gt;waaaay&lt;/i&gt; back in S,N! history was one, as memory serves. They&#039;re really hard to track since the philosophies don&#039;t mix at all, so you end up with people who switch from heartless, nihilistic Randroid to raving, moralistic fundie depending on the issue.</description>

		<description>Oh sweet screaming Jsus, there&#039;re &quot;Christian Objectivists&quot;?

Wheee! Two scummy tastes that taste scummier together!

God, I so hope the Fermi Paradox is wrong. We could really use an invasion of superior intelligences from Arcturus right about now. &quot;Regime change&quot; all over the board!</description>

		<description>Dammit.  

I&#039;m the only white guy in the entire neighborhood.

You have to go out on Saturday and rake up the minority cooties.

They pile up in drifts.

Please don&#039;t track them in the house....

		<description>&lt;i&gt;When I was 18 I killed a six-pack of Wiedemann 3.2% just to watch it die… and that’s STILL more daring than anything this guy has ever done.&lt;/i&gt;

What, you don&#039;t think it took mighty, mighty balls for Takalaka to stand up in front of a room ful of women and other minorities and boldly assert his Straight White Male Prerogative!?!?

I mean, they *totally* could&#039;ve gotten their minority cooties on him!

(Or kicked his ass, at least rhetorically, which is what I suspect actually happened, only he&#039;s not going to share that part of the episode with us.)</description>

		<description>Jebus.
I tried reading Takala&#039;s bit on Gramsci study equalling communism, but, ummm, the kid is even dumber than I thought.
&quot;Topics vary, but spring students have one option, titled, “Rap Music and Street Consciousness.”
The allegation was that, in this course, we would be studying rap music.&quot;
I&#039;d [sic], but I suspect it&#039;s not necessary.</description>

		<description>Dorothy, these fellows are offended by the very existence of people who are different than them, and what is even more offensive to them, is that some of them claim that they should be treated as equals.  Thus, they exist in a perpetual state of passive offense, in that they take another&#039;s mere existence as you and I would, a punch in the head.

When one is taught from birth that he is absolutely entitled to privilege, and that others are not, the fact that those others appear to have attained certain comforts is tantamount to theft or other crimes against &quot;civility.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;There are only three white guys in the room. We’ll probably be the only ones saying anything offensive, &lt;/i&gt;

Pst! Dude! Why don&#039;t you take a step back and ask yourself why you and the other two &quot;white guys&quot; are the &quot;only ones saying anything offensive&quot;? 

In case you draw a blank, here&#039;s a clue:

&lt;i&gt; and that’s our prerogative. &lt;/i&gt;

Lessee, so  &quot;saying something offensive&quot; is &quot;An exclusive right or privilege held by a person or group, especially a hereditary or official right&quot; belonging only to white males. And that in and of itself is not offensive?

Or were you referring to &quot;being white and male&quot; as &quot;A special quality that confers superiority&quot;? And were you surprised when the rest of the class thought you were an entitled asshole?</description>
