You've chosen to elevate a 100% hypothetical to some sort of personal accusation?
Ponder that for a moment. Now ponder it again. Was your response appropriate ... for you?
Now then, how about considering the hypo less personally.

The analogy is ... As a teacher, we told you that diddling with your students was forbidden within OUR SET OF LAWS. Yet you diddled with them anyway. So there is a price to pay.

quote:I'd be careful placing faith in those stats as anything other than a random selection premise. The lottery boasts far lower odds with far lower qualifications.
The acceptance rate for Harvard's Class of 2024 was 4.92%. This means that out of 40,248 applicants, 1,980 students were admitted
At one time Harvard acceptance rates probably meant much more in terms of applicant quality. But even when you entered the pool, that was changing. Now a mediocre student like David Hogg, who couldn't even gain admittance into public universities out of HS, gets accepted to Harvard the following year over applicants with your undergrad applicant qualifications which is an effing travesty.
Harvard "progress" in this arena is kind of like the surviving Challenger crew members commenting (just before impact) on how far they'd "come" in the minutes since the initial o-ring explosion near the boundary to space, and as they descended. Harvard's come a similarly long way.

quote:All reasonable stuff. But the Congressional target will be raising the payroll tax and eligibility age.
Congress will have to grow a set and raise the retirement age and probably means test. I really think Bush 43 had a good idea that some small portion could be invested in the stock market in a some sort of broad index fund.
The government borrows money by offering lenders an IOU debt obligation ... bonds, notes T-bills. Rates offered on those instruments are determined by supply-demand. The fact that every penny of SS contributions are immediately converted to IOU debt obligations (Which at this stage exceed SS outlays $2T) means that is $2T less the government has to borrow on the open market. In turn, the supply-demand equation shifts so that government can borrow at lower rates. That was the intent of SS since its inception in the 1930's. It has always been a government borrowing program marketed as a retirement benefit
Anything pulling money out of SS (e.g., W's index fund, buyout/shutdown, privatizing, etc) runs counter to the premise.

quote:What a bizarre answer. :confused: :confused: :confused:
You asked how a person unrelated to Khalil made her way into the thread. I responded that it happened the same way an event unrelated to Khalil made its way into the thread.
Oct 7th "made its way into the thread" because the grotesque, hate-filled, antisemite, whom you seem to be defending, put it there --- square in the crosshairs. Khalil said “The act of Palestinian resistance on October 7, known as the Al-Aqsa Flood, breached Israeli security and made significant military advances,” adding that it was “a day that will go down in history.” He's issued not one word of condemnation for the deaths of innocent kids, the rapes, the immolation of families in their dwellings, or the kidnappings which occurred.
His good friend and CUAD co-leader said “Zionists don’t deserve to live” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.” It was a threat which received no condemnation from Khalil, whatsoever. NONE! At the same time, CUAD was freely referring to any identifiable Jews on campus as "Zionists."
Did you catch that?
You have no problem with it?
So in the process, Jewish students at CU have been threatened, harassed for their faith, spat on, impeded from accessing facilities. and physically assaulted by Khalil's hate-filled antisemitic group. In the meantime, Khalil holds up his hands like Baghdad Bob, denying involvement in or endorsement of violence .... which for a praiser of Oct7th (among other things) is obviously farcical. There is plausible deniability, and there is implausible deniability. Khalil's is the latter. He's the David Duke of Campus Anti-Jewish Groups.
quote:He praised it.
If you and others want to bring up an event that Khalil had nothing to do with
quote:I've asked you a couple of times what in the world you are talking about with this "analogy," i.e., a reference to Butler or something else. You've refused to clarify. So at this point, I'll just make a blanket statement that it appears to be as idiotic, mindnumbingly stupid an analogy as could be imagined in a subject such as this. Perhaps that will provoke a clarification if there is one to be made. Perhaps not.
You don’t want to call the guy who shot and killed an attendee at a Trump rally part of “Trump’s group”
quote:Link?
you never miss an opportunity to claim Khalil was personally affiliated with every person who attended the same protest as he did
While you're at it, please link Khalil criticizing the conflation of campus Jews and "Zionists." Please link Khalil criticizing his gay, black friend and CUAD co-leader for promoting the murder of all so-called "Zionists."
Khalil is hate-filled garbage. It's one thing to promote a cause (i.e., I support Ukraine). It is another entirely to threaten, intimidate, or attack students on campus for no reason but their heredity or religious faith (i.e., I support Ukraine => Death to all people from Russia or descended from Russians). Khalil led a hate-filled group which consistently, reliably, predictably does the latter.
