In many European nations, college is mostly paid for by the government. Something more "Socialist" (at least to many US politicians) but, I can see a stark benefit there...
Here you either 1) Have the $ 2) Work your way thru to have the $ 3) Borrow the $, and run the risk of being an indentured servant, if not slave, for the majority of your life.
Yeah but then the quality of education goes down. You also have those who aren't serious about school attending when that happens. I try to get good grades because I pay for all my classes straight out of my pocket. They're doing some of the same thing here in the states on a smaller level, and it does (for majority of students I see) is give them less motivation. They start to fail a class they thought they would enjoy, or would need, and end up failing because they didn't pay for it. The program is called FAFSA by the way. So for the first one, when college institutions are privatized, you will have affordable (not exactly cheap, but realistic) under-graduate schools, affordable graduate schools, and very cheap vocational/trade schools. In a business they would want to give the best that they can for their dollar, without the government hassling them over whether or not their tuition is high enough (90/10 rule). As for the second, many used to be able to work through the summer or through the year while attending school, without going past broke. I wish I were in that position. Lastly, if there wasn't this hyperinflation everyone around the world is experiencing then we wouldn't have to put ourselves to the mercy of banks. The only reason why banks give out loans like this is because they're a business and they are allowed to. If college institutions were cheap you wouldn't need to take out massive loans, and create this monstrous debt for yourself. It's not the bank's fault that tuitions keep rising. They need to make a living though, and giving out loans is one way to do that.

Try again later. Lock plox.
Not up to you.
It was a request not a demand. He's obviously inexperienced if I or Matt haven't seen him on recently. How can I find an exact number?
I didn't read through your whole application, and I don't have to.
What the hell am I reading? Didn't have to? It's like voting without knowing the issues.
Yet again. I haven't seen you on enough. You don't know the community well at all. Especially if regulars haven't seen you on. Especially if you don't have references. Especially if you don't post to often on the forum.

1. I get that the Germany reference was for levity, but you know where I live. It says so in my application.
2. I spoke with an admin and was denied reference due to the fact that, "It sucks."
3. Why is it that all the junior admins are busting my chops?
I didn't read through your whole application, and I don't have to. Then it makes it even more likely that your not on as often as you like to think (especially now that I know you live in the States). Matt is anything but Junior. He's been admin far longer than I have, and if you think I'm giving you shit then you really don't know me that well. I give massive amounts of crap to everyone. If an admin already denied you reference then what makes you think you're going to get admin at all? Try again later. Lock plox.

No. I've never seen you before and I'm one of the most frequent admins on the TTT server. So either you live in like Germany where you come on at 4 am my time, or you haven't been on very often at all. If Matt has only seen you once, then I'm pretty sure that's not really the case.
Either way, this picture sums up how I feel about your admin application. Try to get some references next time.

"It's a conspiracy theory just like everything else."
No. I am living this right now. DO NOT GET LOANS.
Lol I was more talking about the whole system being against the individual aspect of the video. I understand that loans are ridicuous and retarded.

inb4 I get bashed for going to an Ivy League school.
I worked my ass off in high school (academically and in the workforce) and in college to help pay for school. I was never interested in going to an Ivy until I found the awesome programs at Columbia. I was even more shocked when I was accepted, since I thought my grades were below the Columbia threshold. I admit that behind the name most colleges are fundamentally the same, but employers are impressed when they see a degree from an Ivy League school. I'm lucky, my family can afford school with little outside help. If you don't have the money, don't push your luck. But it's always better to go to a city or community college than no college at all.
That's just my two cents. Discuss and bash accordingly.
Lol no one is going to bash on you for being smart. If someone were to do so though, it would be me. Lol. Seriously though, good job getting in. That's something to be proud about. This really talks about colleges in general though. Most college charge Ivy League tuitions yet are second rate state colleges. Like the University of Michigan. What a bunch of bull shit that school is. I'm only against that kind of shit to be honest, and privatization of the educational system. I don't believe education is a right. It's something has to be earned. But your family has earned it and you're going to school for it. My girlfriend is going to UCSD which is a pretty good state college and doesn't charge a whole bunch for one to attend. Where I don't disagree with her going, it's going to be hard for her simply because she doesn't have the money to do so. Especially when the college itself gets a whole bunch of money from various assortments of other fees. Go get your degree from your fancy college though lol, by all means will it help you in the future.

watch: 9:50
"When I got my undergraduate degree I had 300 of student loans"
-Really $300 sunk your ship? I made more than that a week in high school. He goes on to say how you have to work because society pushes you into buying a house. I almost shit myself, he got pressured into buying was the problem, not his lack of balls nor real job.
Trust me, watch this guy, I was laughing so hard.
Well keep in mind that guy is 50+ years old. He was in out of school probably before you were born, and probably before massive inflation had hit. But you're right lol. It didn't sink his ship though. He didn't show massive amounts of debt or anything. He was merely saying, "It's a tie for life" more or less because as Cadaver said: The student loan companies have all the rights, the borrower does not. They can change your interest rates, consolidate loans, sell the loans, add fees, and take $ out of any account you own. They can garnish your income, and take your tax refund.
But yeah. It's a conspiracy theory just like everything else. It does bring up some valid points though, like the 90/10 rule that makes even private institutions bend to the will of the government.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpZtX32sKVE&feature=player_embeddedHere's why "brand" name colleges are shitty, and why traditional education is falling apart. It's the whole "nature vs nuture" ordeal. Do we as a society let others fall behind to let others prosper, or do we as a society baby everyone to ensure equity. This subject spans far beyond the reaches of just college because it encompasses many of the problems America, and the rest of the world will soon be facing. Anyway, I thought this was a debatable topic because some may disagree, and take the side of the traditional college set up. Enjoy.

Do you have some more damage logs and stuff.
( I am a proof freak)
He consistently prop kills and RDM's, so I tend to slay him often. I wasn't on when this happened, but I sure as hell believe it. No other way he could get a karma that low without intentionally RDM'ing countless. I like him, but I'm an admin. He's been banned for a week. Plz lock.

Lol holy shit i just typed a huge text and my internet went off, lost it all.
So i'll just sum up what i typed.
Well, i admit a part of me getting banned was my fault, but not big enough to get me banned.
Well Shisa, isn't it ironic that a server that strictly forbids racism of any kind have an admin that "casually" shouts racism slangs, just for the "kicks"? Might as well remove the "No racism allowed" from the #10 rules.
But then again, it looks like (at least for me) that each admin makes their own rules. Once, in the same server, someone got banned from saying "if i wanted skin-melting-hot weather, i would go to Mexico!". I swear to god, no second intentions, just that single comment. And that person was banned. Again, i'm not trying to frame anyone here, because i don't even remember who it was, but it just shows the lack of cooperation from the team of admins.
Lol yet again I told you that you didn't deserve the ban since you weren't helping flood the server. Find a community leader to unban you. Once again, my apologies. The official rule thread is where I get my TTT rules. If it doesn't say "No Racism" then I won't care. lol. And I typically don't. I didn't ban them for racism, might I add, I banned them for flooding the server and trolling, and you happened to get caught in the mix.

I banned a bunch of people who were trolling and spamming the console with props. It's not my fault you thought it would be fun, incite in racism, and get caught up in their bans for "multi-hacking" (since I didn't know what else to call it).
You technically deserve to be unbanned, but try finding a part of CG that would want to unban an obvious troll, who decided to troll along with other trolls. I used to not mind you, but then you started to become a detrimental part of the community. So insult people all you want, most people in CG resent racism and will think your week long ban will be appropriate anyway.
On top of that, I can't unban people. So get a Community Leader to unban you. You technically deserve it.
Read my quote, please.
Also, i'm pretty sure you'll deny it, but from times to times, you would say racist nicknames with the n-word replacing the word that was supossed to be "disguising it" saying "oh, please don't be so racist (i'll take an example from a guy's nickname), big n*gger dick... oh i mean, big nick digger", making you a big hypocrite. Also... I wasn't trolling AT ALL, hence the fact that i was asking the admins ALL the time to ban/kick/slay w/e people who had racist nicknames.
Yet again for all those who dispute that it's against the rules to be racist. It isn't. It's frowned upon, and may lengthen the duration of your ban. It's just one of those things to do to piss off admins. "harshening factors minging and trolling, disrespecting admins and racism" I quote that from the "Official Rules" thread in the TTT board. You have a problem? Post a suggestion. As for you calling me a hypocrite, read here: I do say racist terms because I frankly don't care about whether or not someone is hurt over the fact their great great grand father was a slave, or their great grand father was persecuted over the color of his skin. If you live off the legacy of others and let it dictate the way you live, the way you see life, if you let it control your emotions especially if it lets you relive history you didn't experience, then by all means it should become a commonality. For the more common something gets, the more accepted it becomes, and the less people feel pain over it. The more it becomes common, the more it becomes history, and just a piece of history. If I took offense to being called a gook or something related to WWII then I wouldn't have the peace of mind to continue to live freely within this society. It would become nothing more than a limiter as to the things I could achieve and the people I could meet. If I ever come across people who take offense to my partial nationality, or who take offense to my mother presence, I simply respond with "They are them and we are us" for I am not history, and neither is my mother (yet). So lets think. Is the hypocrite the one who tries to make it a commonality or the one who tries to shun it and make it illegal. Does change start with one person or a series of rule reforms. The reason why (I believe) racism isn't a rule to be measured as ban-able is because it puts certain test on the community to see how it acts when confronted with it. When someone says ****, will they respond with "Ay... Don't say that." or "I'm banning you for racism". Which one gives more incentive to change ways? To be social accepted? Or to be cast out?
If one wanted to really meld within the community they would simply stop talking like they've known.
The cast out will simply continue to drift until it finds a community worth tolerating him/her, so that he/she may change into a more acceptable part of the community.
Yet again, I do it because I find it wrong for it to be a rule, I voice it because it's something that shouldn't be a rule. This is my mentality towards the subject, and as long as it abstains from being a rule, I will continue to use derogatory terms. Getting off of that you continually piss me off and insult me. That didn't put you on my good side to begin with. The reason why I banned a series of trolls was because I knew they were going to spam the console continually until the server crashed and I would not let that happen for the sake of the TTT server and Conjoint Gaming. If I'm there for moderate and protect that is what I will do. They won't post admin complaints or ban appeals because they know what the fuck they did wrong and won't bother to try and change their status in our community. Besides, they'll be back within a week and they know it. Like I said though, it wasn't my fault you decided to par-take in games and trolling to be cool like your friends. It's not my fault you got swept up in the fire storm of bans when I realized what was happening, and it's most certainly not my fault that you put yourself in a position of discrimination like you had. Yet again, you didn't deserve your ban, get a Community Leader to help you out with your problems, if you can find any that will. Well, i'll leave it to other admins, then. But consider i was NOT the one with racist nicknames and shouting racist comments, rather just changed my nickname to see if admins were going to say ANYTHING, since i was clearly trespassing the "racism" line when i did.
Why would you even think of doing that?
pretty sure if you didn't change it, you wouldn't be having this situation.
Ashes you read my mind.

This is credible. I believe I tried to addban this guy, but I'm also sure that's broken still lol.
He did it as soon as I left too, so that makes it extra fishy.

Not sure if I should do this, but I am bumping my application because it seems like it is being lost in the midst of all the other admin applications. Just curious as to what my final fate will be, sitting in limbo on this isn't much fun lol.
When your time comes for admin, your times comes. It's basically when they feel like they can trust you enough to not mess around with the server... Not saying you will.

Purple people can fully understand the world around them. Purple people are ones who know there is a greater purpose in life. Are you a purple person?
Even though you're making some high and mighty claims, I know you mean in the best way possible. Welcome to ConjointGaming.
