I think that makes it 10 times worse in my view.

Glad to see those who are the least judgmental are also the most grammatically correct.

She is a moron.....period. So you went to a expensive ivy league school & you're now working at hooters.

Hmmmmmmm.

Now, see, that ^^^ is compassion.

While I do think her judgment was off in sending that document out to her friends, I also think she's going to pay a price for it for much longer than most people do when it comes to the folly of their youth.

I've gotta hand it to you, Babee. You've pointed out something that a lot of folks have overlooked: This mistake of hers is not the sum of her life, nor is it the only side of her. It takes a certain amount of grace to see that.

Karen owens thesis was poorly written for a well educated 22 yr old woman.

Ten pages was enough reading for me.

lol, *I* didn't overlook it, I pointed it out about five pages back.

What whatever-her-name-is did is such a non-issue. Five years from now, it probably won't even matter that this happened to her, or to the guys.

I didn't finish my degree because I ran out of money at school and I'm 25K in debt. I do what I have to do...I have nothing to be ashamed of, I'm proud of what I've done and accomplished, particularly considering the poverty I grew up in.

People who have the need to slam others wholesalely so flippantly have serious issues, and apparently get some sort of sad psychological gratification out of feigning they're superior to others. And particularly to go on and on about someone you don't even truly know is particularly absurd. The truth is none of us haven't done something we aren't ashamed of, just most likely it doesn't end up national news so others can ridicule us, demean our entire person, and call us childish names. The whole thing is ludicrous and you would think ostensible adults would be far more mature than that.

People are pathetic.

You have to understand. He probably didn't receive that great Duke education like Karen Owen.

Betcha didn't even recognize the irony of your post as you typed it out, did ya?

At any rate, this wasn't just a simple mistake or a lapse of judgment, this was a planned, calculated process two years in the making that involved the humiliation of 12 other people. Some "mistakes" deserve scorn. This is one of them.
