oh believe me, in reply to the person who just nitpicked and trashed my paper calling out sources and asking me to explain stuff...i just said that we could only write a one page paper so i had to condense EVERYTHING into one page...its a lot more difficult then u would think. Im actually a pretty good writer, and if I could, I WOULD HAVE easily have been able to write a 20 page paper on this subject...but that wasnt the assignment... so please dont rip apart my stuff because you're bored and want to feel smart or something of that nature. I know a lot about this subject but this was the first assignment of the year for my college english 101 class, and our teacher just wanted to see where everyone was at ability wise, he didnt want a research paper that was chock full of facts and such. thats next week...

This is going to sound harsh... but...
“in reply to the person who just nitpicked and trashed my paper calling out sources and asking me to explain stuff...i just said that we could only write a one page paper so i had to condense EVERYTHING into one page...its a lot more difficult then u would think.

I was annoyed at the fact that you were writing about such a serious topic and making the most general assumptions and the shallowest analysis. It wasn’t well written. And it is possible to have a one-page essay and have facts with sources.
Now if this was some piece of fiction writing I probably wouldn’t have responded.
But when I read what you wrote I got mad. I’ll admit it. I was mad because your writing was lackadaisical and had no supporting evidence on a topic that is centrally related to institutionalized racism and murder by the state. I would have chosen a lighter topic if I were you. And if you are seeking some kind of break because you are in an English 101 class in college don’t count on it from me. YOU ARE IN COLLEGE! There are so many people that don’t get the kind of chance you are getting. To squander it needlessly and to take your work half-heartedly is just going to be wasting your time and money.
And just for the record, your paper at 12 sized New Roman Times font, double spaced, is not even a full page….

WE HAD NO CHOICE. That was the topic and the assignment that was given to us. It wasnt supposed to be a research paper with a million facts, it was just supposed to be our opinion on the subject. And idk about you but when you add a heading and paragraphing to the paper its easily a page long.

I'll agree here with him, Knight some shit is better said from someone's on mind and own beliefs, than it being said from many different experts and bullshit... he expressed his opinion, he has a right to, just like you, stop being so harsh on everyone. I am for the death penalty myself for many different reasons, always have been always will be, I believe if you take someone's life you forfeit every right to yours, no matter if you had a chance to choose or not, made the choice to loose your rights when you taken away someone's choice to continue their life, and knight I site that out of brain cell # 123695840384584305 just for your information its what I think because it is my moral beliefs, I don't have to have society put it on paper for me to believe it, looky there killed 2 birds with one stone

Brodieman, ..... nevermind... it's not worth my breath.
I made my point, I'll stop addressing the "essay."

Quit baahing and take off that wooly suit. Ok, leave the suit. However, in a college level course, you need facts to back a paper. Anything less is just not gonna cut it. Also, I saw nothing in his paper that was an original thought I haven't seen elsewhere several times.

To Brodieman:
“I don't care if the paper sucked or not i didn't read it”
SO Shut the Fuck Up! You didn’t READ it! How can you make any judgment let alone understand what I am saying?! I’m not debating whether people have the right to post! I am critiquing a “paper” that was put up on a public board which I found offensive!!!! I have just as much right to do that as Avgprheight has to post the “paper.” And if you are going to make statements like, “Taxpayers shell out thousands of dollars each year to provide food and other paraphernalia for rapists, murderers, and pedofiles,” or “When properly instituted the death penalty could not only keep rapists, murderers, and pedofiles off the streets, it would also provide great relief for not only the tax payers but the congested penitentiaries as well,” fucking back up what you say with EVIDENCE!

wow... I am pretty much not going to come to these boards anymore because there are just way too many fucking assholes that just put everyone down, ridicule, and scrutinize everyone because they want to feel cool or good about themselves.
Knight you can go fuck yourself. Because you dont know me and you dont know how hard ive worked for the opportunity to go to college. SO fuck you and I am willing to bet that if you were in my class I would pretty much smoke you the entire year grades wise.
Its not even worth it to reply to you because your such an asshole...but yeah, I dont think when Ash created this board that it was meant for people belittling each other, it was meant for discussion, which you arent doing...your just being an asshole

wow... I am pretty much not going to come to these boards anymore because there are just way too many fucking assholes that just put everyone down, ridicule, and scrutinize everyone because they want to feel cool or good about themselves. that really bothers me and im so sorry that thats the way you feel. there really are some wonderful people on this board, and for the most part, i usually love knights posts and everyone elses, but i dont like that people come to feel bad and ridiculed in these forums. i do think that there was some unnescessary judgement there, and if we could keep it to professional and respectful debates of the facts and issues at hand, i think it would just provide for a better atmosphere and more than likely, more debating of the actual issues. im sure the paper was not posted to be disected and ridiculed beyond recognition. it was an opinion, it deserves to be respected and considered for what the actual subject matter conveys.
