the only educated males left
 

Tom Wolfe's new novel:

"At Dupont College though, at least in the fraternities and the sports programs, these qualities have been reduced to parody.

"Over and against "the dorks, GPA geeks, Goths, lesbos, homobos, bi-bos, S and Mbos, black-bos, Latinos... and other whining diversoids," Hoyt (a student), who thinks of himself as "a born leader of the warrior class," imagines that "If America ever had to go to war again . . . there would be only one source of officers other than the military academies: frat boys. They were the only educated males left who were conditioned to think and react . . . like men."

I love men. :D

OHHHHH, Tom Wolfe.

I was just a fraternity party at his chapter house.

YAY for Phi Kaps. They are pretty! And LAX-y.

How much natty did Susan have?

MUCH.

Ok, breathesgelatin, that post borders on Earp-ishness, it scares me!

The difference is that breathesgelatin was probably very, very drunk when she posted.

I realize that...just pointing it out...

That's not a difference.

Be very careful how you speak. Do you want to feel the WRAITH of The Earp?:confused:

Drunkenness is a state of mind only.:)

Only Real Pros can typo the same sober or drunk thank you!:D

Typoing in Earp Speak is an art, YOU CRETINS!:p :D

It's a scary thing, but I believe he may be correct.

Yay,, we're educated yayayy

I can think and react I can think and react I can think and react I can think and react I can think and react like a man yaaaayyyyy

But there in lies the problem. Educated males who think and react denote war as a barbaric act and thus work to prevent it.

Re: Re: the only educated males left
 

Intelligent and educated males are also able to resolve the paradox that in order to prevent war, you must prepare for it. Also, there are times when inaction is the most barbaric act of all.

I thought that was called 'being french'.

Touché

Hmmm... being in the military I've always mistrusted those who would label themselves as a "born leader" or a "warrior"... generally they were the major f*ck-ups.
