I go to Hunter and its not as bad as people portray it. Neo, your problem is with the fact that you go to a community college.

Oh, and the n00b you told to STFU is the ex-president of this club. If I had my power from the good old days, you would have been thrown into the Rabid Monkey Pit for not knowing the glorious history of BTHSnews.org

Have a very nice day.

but alas fima, you don't have the power to moderate...and plese stay on topic, random references to what you had make you sound like an old communist living poorly in a capitalist system.

STFU n00b. I go to Bull!@#$ of Manhattan Community College. You get what you pay for. They're teaching me how to print "HELLO WORLD" in programming class for some $1,500 a semester. Oh yeah, I'm headed for high-flying career in software engineering at this rate...


Excuse me, what Counter-Strike server did you just crawl out of? With people skills like yours it's no surprise you're headed nowhere.

I didn't say go to BMCC for programming (or "software engineering," as the unemployed like to call it). It's more of a wishy-washy humanities place, yeah. But that doesn't cast a pall on the whole CUNY system. Xilenx is right. More of you than you think or are being led to believe will wind up in CUNY, and it's not so terrible, for the most part.


Actually, I've never played a game of CS in my life. My people skills are directly proportional to my opinion of whom I dispatch them upon. Essentially, anyone who I believe may be of some importance in my future will receive formality in doses greater than you would see in a royal family. Conversely, anyone deemed as "commoner" in my mind will not be exempt from my true thoughts, opinions, and feelings. As you can see, being classified as either-or has it's advantages and disadvantages.

Point of advice: don't make fun of unemployed techies with inane quoting. Legal jobs are next, followed by financial, and basically, we're in the same boat because your would-be job will most likely be sent to India too.

I constantly hear good things about Hunter. I haven't heard a good thing about BMCC...ever.

No, it wouldn't, but now we're getting off topic. See, in some places, it is considered common courtesy to not curse out people you disagree with when they have said nothing directly to you. It especially makes me irate when somebody who can't even be bothered to use English words, (or make sense, for that matter. "n00b" is not a word, and its meaning doesn't really apply to me anyway) complete sentences, or avoid resorting to embarassingly stupid abbreviations, goes on an unprovoked assault. I don't care what you think of me or anybody else. I know this forum is frequented by high school kids, but it is not a sewer. There are plenty of places that cater to unmitigated and unjustified insults on the internet. I have never (and somebody, please, call me out if this is wrong) directly insulted anybody in public and unprovoked on this site, except for Messiah, and that's because I didn't realize he was a troll. Fine, maybe BMCC is terrible. But that has nothing to do with being civil.

Alrighty then, calm your jets, take a prozac and take it to the PM's, i don't need pointless squabbles over differences of opinion on an OT school that is in a humor thread.
