Not burning out, just angrier than usual lately

Why? (post elsewhere if you fear prying eyes)

[Second Harkius]

You should at least tell me what's going on so I can share some of the anger burden.

[Second Harkius]

We can walk hand and hand into The Angerzone.

Then we can enjoy some Paul Newman's salsa, or perhaps one of his delicious thin crust pizzas.

Hey, me too man, me too. Seems like the whole world come down sometimes, doesn't it?

[Pendulum]

I am fairly neutral to the products sold under the Newman's Own label. Since I do enjoy cooking immensely, any prepackaged product is going to be below the quality I usually like... not to besmirch the label, just lumping it into with the rest of the "unecessaries" of the modern world.

[iamabadman]

madding, is it because of personal issues

[iamabadman]

is it because the davinci robot can make a woman's intestines fall out from her vagina?

[( G_R )]

It's because he didn't open a goyf.

[( G_R )]

I took two days off because the Mrs. is out of the country and my kid is on mid-year vacations from school, so I'm parenting all day long.

Not being at work has obviously affected my posting.

Some iridium questioned my work ethics for visiting magical cards sites during working hours.

[( G_R )]

He's probably right, but what did he expect from a follower of The Scumbag?

[( G_R )]

What did he expect from a man child that plays a game of magical cards?

[( G_R )]

Off to spamming the correct thread, see ya...

[Neo Metal Sonic]

What did he expect from a man child that plays a game of magical cards?

The cure for cancer, I guess

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Danielle Powell was going through a hard time in the spring of 2011, just months away from graduating from a conservative Christian college in Nebraska. She had fallen in love with another woman, a strictly forbidden relationship at a school where even prolonged hugs were banned.

Powell said she was working at a civil rights foundation in Mississippi to finish her psychology degree when she was called back to Grace University in Omaha and confronted about the relationship. She was eventually expelled — then sent a bill for $6,000 to reimburse what the school said were federal loans and grants that needed to be repaid because she didn't finish the semester.

Powell is now fighting the Omaha school, arguing that her tuition was covered by scholarships and that federal loans wouldn't need to be repaid in that amount. She also notes she was kicked out even after undergoing months of counseling, spiritual
training and mentoring insisted upon by the school following her initial suspension.

"I shouldn't have this debt hanging over me from a school that clearly didn't want me," the 24-year-old said.

The university insists that the $6,000 bill covers federal grants and loans that, by law, must be repaid to the federal government because Powell didn't finish her final semester. School officials declined to discuss specifics of Powell's case, citing federal student privacy laws, but through a public relations agency said it would provide Powell official transcripts and transfer her credits.

Powell is skeptical. She noted that nine months after she was expelled in January 2012, the registrar's office denied her request for her transcripts because of the bill, though she eventually received student copies of her transcripts.

Grace University's code of conduct for its students is strict: No kissing, no prolonged hugs and certainly no premarital sex. The school even monitors students'
television habits, forbidding HBO, MTV, Comedy Central and several other channels "because of the values they promote." The rules are laid out in a student handbook and signed by students every year.

"No one was more surprised than me," Powell recalled of her relationship. "I had been very religious since I was a small child, and that did not fit in with what I thought I believed."

It's not unusual to see gay and lesbian students disciplined or even expelled from private Bible- and faith-based colleges, but Powell's case is unusual, said Ken Upton, an attorney at Lambda Legal. The national civil rights organization helps gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

"This particular case is unusual because there's this fear that they might not release her information and they are demanding payback," Upton said. "We don't see that very often. Usually, the school's just glad to be rid of them."

In response to questions about the case from The
Associated Press that included Powell's financial aid letter, the U.S. Department of Education said in an email Friday that the issue of whether Powell owes money is between her and the school — but "it's not at all because of federal rules."

As required by the university after her suspension, Powell said she promised not to engage in sex and completed months of church attendance and meetings with Christian mentors, spiritual advisers and other groups. She was then readmitted, only to receive a letter days later from the university's vice president, Michael James, revoking her admittance.

James wrote that her re-admittance had been based on professions she made to various faculty and staff that she would change her behavior, but that "the prevailing opinion is that those professions appear to have been insincere, at best, if not deceitful."

"I was livid," Powell said. "I had done everything they asked me to do. I
drove over to my mentors' house and just bawled my eyes out."

Powell legally married another woman in neighboring Iowa in December, but the couple still lives across the border in Omaha and has found support online. Her wife, Michelle Rogers, posted a petition on change.org asking the university to drop the tuition bill.

[Second Harkius]

She said she was gonna change her behavior and she didn't. She went back on her word and the university has every right to expel her.

[Second Harkius]

People are like "OMG discrimination" when she was the one who willingly signed up to go to a school with an antiquated and strict value system. It's not like they changed the code of conduct just to trap her. But obviously due to the 'gay' issue clearly she is the victim of a massive social injustice.

[Second Harkius]

I am beardmad because she was not a pornstar looking lesbian.

[Second Harkius]

Now that's a social injustice!
