It's daddys or grammas money and it's better than working, specially since he's intellectually and probably physically lazy.
It's old money going to waste and I think a major American (and Canadian) social ill. Cashing in on three generations of hard work to be a useless spoiled slob.
Add end-of-the-world brainset and it's the shits personified
Best prank to pull on someone like this:
Sit next to him in class. When he nods off, poke him hard, and say excitedly, "Do you hear those trumpets? I hear trumpets and singing, do you?" When he looks confused, say "I think it must be the rapture! I'm going outside to look!" Then never show up to class again.
Admittely, I jump at random, especially *strange* or *loud* noises, but my first thought isn't "Rapture" -- it's "WTF is THAT?" and determining if it is, in fact a threat, or something I can ignore. (Which isn't particularly healthy, either, but still...)
Why did I drop out of my phd program again?
Oh, now I remember... students like this expecting straight As in thermodynamics.
Thanks Jeff, every once in a while I think I should have finished that last semester, but then I read something y'all wrote.
This demonstrates PERFECTLY what the big problem is. You would much rather rap yourself in your delusions than pay attention in a class where you may actually gain useful knowledge that could, ultimately help you shed those delusions. You disgust me and the cost of college tuition is lost on you. You should be ashamed that you are wasting space and money being in a place where you will not learn anything because you refuse to.. while there are young men and women out there who WANT to learn, and cannot afford to do so. Die in a fire.
I imagine that you, as a Rapture Ready contributor, ignore education on a pretty regular basis. Why do you even bother going to class? Hoping to get a diploma without actually having to know anything?

"I imagine that you, as a Rapture Ready contributor, ignore education on a pretty regular basis. Why do you even bother going to class? Hoping to get a diploma without actually having to know anything?"
Well, it worked for Kent Hovind...
And yet I, a person who would love to be able to go to college right now, can't afford it. Fuck you, fundie. GDIAF.
When I hear a weird noise I think it's a car, or a person doing something strange.
Here in Sweden we think of extacy, elation when we think of the word "rapture". Not some heavenly elevator coming to get us.
Maybe he ought to pay attention to his professor instead, it might get him somewhere in THIS life!
You're using your time in college wisely.
I assume you're also not going to parties and meeting girls, too.
JeffreyDollars you said so much in that last statement '...and went back to not paying to my professor.' Than you probably realise.
Maybe if you paid attention you would gain some knowledge, and maybe become more critical in your thinking. Hey, who knows you may enjoy learning, you may drop this childish Rapture nonsense, go to College, get a degree and have a decent career and live a happy and fulfilling life.
I love it, you or more likely your parents, spending bunches of bucks for you to go to college, and you just mentally wank yourself about dying.
My professor ? That implies you're in college. Even if it's a punk-ass Christian college (which your grammar, of lack thereof, implies), you're just wasting time and money by being there. I conclude you are also a waste of oxygen.
Let's see now. You're wasting an educational opportunity by not paying attention to your professor, since God forbid you should actually learn anything. You're wasting this life by believing in your death cult. Ultimately, you're wasting oxygen.
What the hell is so special about this generation that God would want to choose it for rapture?
Every single generation has thought they where the last and every generation has been wrong.
This is the kind of nonsense that is keeping the world from coming together and working out it´s problems, there are always some crazy´s in the corner yelling "the sky is falling and we are all gonna die"
Wake the fuck up people!
If we don´t give up our silly superstitions and work together as a species to both better our selves and our home then we will surely bring about our own destruction with out any "higher power" having anything to do with it.
eh no just some crazy sound and went back to not paying attention to my professor.
Assuming from your use of the word "professor" that you're in college, I'd have to ask why you're wasting money going to college if you're not paying attention to your studies. If you're using financial aid, or going to a state university, I have to ask why you're wasting my hard earned tax dollars?
Like WMDKitty said...
Funny how when I hear a loud, sudden, unexpected noise, I jump up and try to figure out where the noise is coming from and determine if it's an immediate threat. If it's not a threat, I just try to ignore it.
As for this Raptard wasting a seat in a college course that he obviously doesn't want to be in - Fukc you! There could have been someone else in who could have made better use of that seat, you know, someone who could have actually *wanted* to be there and learn, but was edged out because you applied just before he or she did.
Also, I'm a person who would love to go back to school to further my education so I can actually get a job I can stand to be at, but I can't do that because of the lack of funds. I have been to college before, got some certifications, but nowadays it seems like anything less than a bachelor's degree renders you virtually unemployable in today's market.
Yet here's this jackass wasting an opportunity that somebody else could have had. Sorry for rambling on like this.
how do you not see the ignorance in that post? You are making yourself more ignorant every day by NOT listening to your professor and daydreaming about the rapture. Maybe if you spent more time LISTENING to your professor you would realize that the 'rapture' is an unrealistic, hate filled idea. It scares me that people like you are actually anticipating the end of the world! The world is beautiful, we are so lucky to be here, and you want it to end? Just for some silly, shot in the dark, belief? That's scary, disgusting and ignorant all at the same time.
An aspiring young actor was making his stage debut. He played an aide-de-camp to Napoleon, and had one line. Throughout rehearsals he would stand next to the emperor and, because sound effects weren't used prior to opening night, would speak his line at what seemed to be the appropriate moment: "Hark, sire,the cannons roar."
After weeks of strenuous rehearsals he was now on stage on before an audience, standing next to Napoleon. Suddenly his cue occurred, a thunderous offstage noise. Startled, the young man shouted, "What the fuck was that?"
Now now, maybe the professor he's ignoring is his Literary Criticism professor.
In which case, I applaud him.
You were like Rapture? Is this English?
Do you mean you said 'it's the rapture'.
The verb 'to like' does not imply communication on a mental or especially verbal level.
When you have mastered Standard English please come back. Until then, go away!
"...and went back to not paying attention to my professor."
Boy, that's money well spent on an education.
"I wanted to relate an experience just yesterday where some wierd noise made me situp while in class and i was like Rapture!?!?!"
Two questions:
Did you say this out loud? And if so, how did your classmates and professor react?
Enjoy your wasted money.
Not my problem.
Just like when you with your girl/boyfriend in your house, and every little sound outside your house just sound like your parents car.
It's the same.
You're so sure that will happen, that anything that you don't know from where it comes, will be "the coming of the rapture".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
