me: That's dumb. No offense to your sister, but if she's not the best applicant, she won't get the scholarship. Period.

You know, I tried to tell the University of California students how to combat the anti-affirmative action-ites... And all I got was blank stares...
What I said was:
Me: Affirmative action should be supported... What it does is give chances to students who have been historically discriminated against by government doctrine.
Anti's: Well you aren't now!!! If they cannot get in on their own merit, then they don't deserved to be admitted.
Me: But merit alone is not sufficient enough to say the potential of that student and what he or she will become after graduation...
Anti's: Blank stare
Me: You call yourself a Christian? You believe in Jesus Christ? That Christ died on the cross for your sins and He makes intercession for you with God?
Anti's: Yes! I am the most Evangelical Haggard Christian in the whole wide world!!! I know the ENTIRE Bible and can quote every scripture to anyone. I am Christ's number one fan!!! I've got my first class ride to Heaven's Gate. I interpret the Bible LITERALLY!!!
Me: If Jesus can show me Affirmative Action, then how come you can't?
Anti's: THAT'S NOT THE SAME!!!
Me (calmly): Oh so you are the Devil?
Anti's: blank stare and disbelief
Me: Didn't Christ say, that "one can only come to God but through me"...
Anti's: That's not what He meant... (Storms off)
