Wow, bluud! It doesn't sound like you have just an opinion. Sounds like you have a grudge. What did your professors do to you? With venom like that, one would think that you would have the motivation to work to change US universities for the better. Some people become inspired, some people hate.

Cho was doing nothing to fit in and be liked. A lot of people were trying to get him to stop his bizarre behavior repeatedly and suggested to him to get counseling. Is that called being picked on? He got kicked out of VT's creative writing class in 2005 for taking pics of female students. He...
