SHH the GA at Berkeley is considering a STUDENT STRIKE
 things continue to go the way they are.

Oh and 30K people watching on the USTREAM is nothing to sneeze at, given there is absolutely NO MARKETING to this.

Saints preserve us, a few hippies aren't going to attend their advanced basket-weaving or Queer Theory classes...how will society survive?

A few replies from the remaining fans...but the large majority of the posts are updates from the fount of all meta-wisdom.

I wonder if she realizes that a lot of those 30K who are watching on USTREAM are watching for the same reason people watches the old carnival freak shows.

Another sympton of the overblown-self syndrome instituted in America with the participation trophy.  "What I do is sooooooo important, if I don't attend my classes, society itself will grind to a halt.  That'll teach 'em!" 

Students to TA:  We're on strike!  We're not coming into this classroom!
TA:  OK, then, let's go get high.

Somebody needs to remind them that the clock on the student loan debt keeps ticking even if you fail the class because you did not bother to show up...

From what I know of teacher's at Berkeley, they don't take attendance anyways.  Basically, these kids will just be shooting themselves in the foot when the Final comes around.

Why would dirty hippies strike from a dirty hippy school? You supposedly strike to show discontent over something. My guess is the teachers are encouraging this because they still get paid while the idiot, junior-league hippies still pay fully priced tuition to miss classes with no real-world relavance.

Their inflated sense of self-importance at play.  Same thing that is making all the basket-weaving majors protest their student loan debt, they never figured out they wouldn't step out of college into a job that paid more than their parents' mid-career salaries and are totally unprepared mentally to start at the bottom of anything.

3. Breaking into groups of 20 to discuss this
 Oh dear... this is how the general strike came...

I said strikes were coming...

 
  followed by a smiley face. 

Adbot is mocking them.  He's throwing an ad up for Oreck's, saying, "Hooray for Clean!"   :lmao:

The self importance reminds me of all the idiots early in the war who were going to leave the U.S.. They thoght the nation could not get by without their skills. "Who will design your web sites?" still sticks in my head.

Berkeley students are the ones who set up camp in some treetops to prevent construction of a new athletic building.

They eventually ran out of weed and descended. The trees were immediately removed and construction got underway.

Their strike will be as effective as their treetop tents.

I think that was the shoplifting DUmmy from up in Minnesota, DUmmy Lucian.
