• Vacation's when you go somewhere... and you don't ever come back.
• Yeah, I really like him, too, but you're my best friend. I'm trying my hardest to keep him and me from becoming a thing, as you put it. It's killing me though, to see all that's there and not be able to do a thing about it. I'll just keep playing it off as if it's nothing.
• @what's thirdwave feminism - Repro rights are part of it, but the greater ideas behind it break down like this: firstwave = I'm a woman, acknowledge that (basic human rights); secondwave = I'm a woman and I don't have to be treated like a sex object (equality in "subjective" areas, like salary); thirdwave = I'm a woman and I can be sexy if I want to, but for myself, not for you (riot grrrl movement, repro rights, I own my body). While pro-life feminists are rare, feminism's a large tent that everyone can fit into without agreeing on everything.
• @ "Education should be free." Who's gonna pay for Neil Kerwin's bunker on the hill that he hides in so avoid getting a haircut?
• EDITOR YOU SUCK!
• @ loling forever at people whining about how feminists want to “take rights away from men” No one is saying that feminists want to take rights away from men. All were saying is that men should also be able to have their own men's space and initiative to combat high suicide rates and depression amongst young men and the idea that ALL MEN are responsible for the atmosphere of which you speak of. Many men are on the receiving end of what you are talking about. Believe me, I want to scream too sometimes. We are not all machomen.
• people who talk about how "every space is a safe space for men": YOU ARE RIDICULOUS. men can get raped and murdered just as easily as women, we've just been conditioned by our society to believe that they're too "manly and tough" for that and so they're less likely to report rape or any other kind of abuse because people like you make them feel insecure about it. shut up.
• @”@feminazi saying men shouldn’t have a safe place to talk about men’s issues” Nothing will be gained here by resorting to name calling and blanket statements. At least try to add to the conversation. There are many Feminists might actually want something like this if they realized what potential it has better the conversation by adding voices that would otherwise be silent (that is to say, the voices of some/many men who are silent in gender issues)
• is this just fantasy?
• He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gum, He's Kinda square.
• @billy joel ranter: nice singing with you
• @Hey freshmen in Anderson: second floor is all sophomores no freshmen and as for the 3rd floor unless you have a legit reason like a limp or crutches then I'll help the ranter drop kick
• @taking the elevator to Ando3 - Some of us are sophomores too. And today I hurt my foot. So I couldn't do stairs, but it wasn't an obvious injury so there may have been some judging. But if that's how you want to live your life your choice. I'm just gonna smile and be glad those people aren't in a superhuge rush to get where they're going!
• I used to work at a small restaurant that also had a "hidden menu". The truth is that we just had a handful of dishes that we could make, but didn't put them on the printed menu for various reasons. But some people knew to ask, and the customer gets what they want. Starbucks keeps those ingredients around for other reasons, and will make you whatever drink you want if you ask. BUT IT’S A PAIN IN THE ASS, so just do all us all a favor and stick to the menu, alright? It’s there for a reason.
• @“ safe spaces for men: everywhere, ... everywhere at night, everywhere at 3 in the morning #bye” Ok, so what would you say to the fact that men have a higher probability to get in an unwilling violent exchange with another man especially at night. At 3AM, any one can get in a violent exchange. Why the hostility? A men’s safe space would accomplish would be a place where men can meet without the social stigma and judgement assigned to discussions about things like what it means to be a man. Can you answer what it means to be a man?
• I'm really glad that I don't have to worry about dick size.
• Dear Loud Freshman in the Library, While you may think you've figured out the solutions to both poverty and energy independence, I'm pretty sure you're wrong. And this is the quiet floor. So please shut the hell up.
• I hope everyone is having a great day :-)
• I'm da besssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
• I that eagle rants takes dayysssss to put up posts
• Don't judge others, invisible disabilities exist, let people take the elevator when they want to you fool. Don't be an arse, men can need a safe club, there's a men's voice in women's initiative... and men aren't safe everywhere so don't be ignorant of that. Pro Life makes others seem like Pro Death when we're not, we're pro CHOICE-- YOU can either be for or against it but either way, we say YOU should have the choice. And person recognizing disabilities as being a stigmatized "other" (in describing what people consider to be "unperfect") YOU ROCK for being aware DRC.
• Holy shit, I kind of really miss you. But now it's not the same and it sucks and I hate you. Welp.
• My roommate's crazy right now... o____O
• omgggg guy on the 3rd floor in mcdowell you are sooooooooooo damn sexy. Do you feel the sexual tension between us?!?! Some days when im walking to class i just want to mount you. I hope you feel the same way because i need some lovin' on the bed and on the floor
• To the girl talking about the 3rd wave of feminism. It was about rights of all women including minorities which were ignored in the first 2 waves! And its fine to be pro life, but other women have the right to decide what they want to do with their bodies
• AU: So many girls, so little guys...
• So I've been wondering something for the past two months, why is there a sheep in the library?
• I love it when he holds my hand while he cuddles with me, softly stroking my arm and making me forget all of my worries~
• I wish i could tell you about things without you copying me
• Cloud Atlas only seems "kinda bad storywise" because it's a tad bit difficult to portray the idea of six interweaving stories and characters from six completely different ages of history in a three minute trailer. Wachowski's forever.
• Keep calm and Kill some Templars. Five days!
• I feel like Romney uses the wrong they're/there/their a significant portion of the time.
• Help I fell into one of Romney's forehead wrinkles salfh;alkjkl;d/
• Paul Ryan is like that elementary school gym teacher who was a dick to you because you couldn't do the required amount of sit-ups.
• Why's Mitt all about the navy, doesn't he realize it's the gayest branch of the military, shouldn't he be assaulting it like in high school?
• Can we stop acting like America is superior to other countries when we let people wear uggs with skirts...?
• I don't know why you're so awkward around me. I really have no idea. All I want to do is hook up with you again, but you keep freaking high-fiving me, I don't understand what's happening...
• I'm starting to think he does mean it when he says that he really likes me. I can tell by the way he looks me in the eyes. And from him listening to me for hours on end and still being able to tell me I'm not annoying. I think I should believe him.
• @nowhere is safe: My god u are clueless. You live in a rich area of the capital of the wealthiest and safest nation on earth. Try growing up in a country that is at war. With a corrupt judicial system. Police that take bribes. Regular terrorist attacks. lack of medical supplies and antibiotics etc. if you think no place is safe when u live in America, u don't deserve to love in America. Grow up and get out of your bubble.
• @"everywhere is safe for men" : Places that are not safe for men : 1) for guys who aren't buff, the high school locker room 2) in low income urban areas, pressure to join gangs 3) in times of war, military draft 4) prisons, where man on man rape is prevalent (female on female prison rape is virtually nonexistent) 5) public schools, where male drop out rates far outnumber female drop out rates 6) psychiatrist's offices, where boys are medicated for ADHD etc
• stop judging a girl for getting wasted once when that seems to be a constant state for you douche
• @People who demand tuition freezes… I can't speak for everyone, but everyone I know who support a tuition freeze support higher pay for adjuncts, better working conditions and better pay (living wage) for Bon Appetit and Aramark workers, and pay cuts for Kerwin and administrators who already make more than enough. We have never said anything about more food options or money for SG. We understand that in order to achieve a tuition freeze, compromises would have to be made, and we certainly are not naive enough to demand a tuition freeze in tandem with other unnecessary expenditures.
• @people complaining about AU raising tuition: AU will continue to raise tuition because all the other colleges continue to raise tuition and AU needs to stay competitive. You are targeting the wrong force. You need to write to US News college rankings and tell them to take COST into consideration when ranking schools. This will force colleges to compete to keep prices down in order to maintain their ranking (Malcolm Galdwell's idea, from the New Yorker).
• yeah bro, you run through those sprinklers at 1am
• And to everyone who has questions, suggestions or concerns about the CAUS, we'd be happy to answer anything or talk to you! We'll be tabling on the quad tomorrow, we have a rally at 1 pm this Friday, and we have Student Assemblies every Sunday at 2 pm in Hurst 2. We'd love for anyone and everyone to come out and join us!
• I didn't see any rants bashing the editor today. That has to be a first.
• What other shows are as good as Downton Abbey? Netflix recommends similar shows that are also British but none of them are good. Any ideas?
• @ "I wonder if Liberals R. Tools is just trolling or is actually serious." I'm serious as a heart-attack. Someone has to keep you liberal pussies in line.
• @"Sometimes I'm really scared that there's something wrong with me": There isn't. If you love someone, be with them. Don't worry.
• @"Gingers have no souls": Yes. Yes we do. #sexyginger
• I kind of want to have an affair with my professor. Pity she's married. . .
• @"Sometimes I'm really scared that there's something wrong with me": There isn't. If you love someone, be with them. Don't worry.
• TDR, stop trying to make Taco Wednesday happen! It's not going to happen!
• Okay Dominos has f***ing chocolate lava cakes for delivery. I would like to dedicate this song to them tonight: "And now whatever way our stories end/ I know you have re-written mine/ By being my friend.../ Like a ship blown from its mooring/ By a wind off the sea/ Like a seed dropped by a skybird/ In a distant wood/ Who can say if I've been changed for the better?/ But because I knew you/ I have been changed for good."
• I literally hate working. Literally. Not figuratively, LITERALLY.
• Hate when I have to rush to shower because it means I can't take the time to chill and sing a couple songs.
• oh man if y'all could actually provide a safe space for trans* people, that would be awesome. that said, what are we calling a "violent exchange"? if you're talking about actual fist fights, sure. I'm talking about the fact that I can't go anywhere by myself without some man telling me to smile/telling me how sexy I look/ propositioning me for sex... while I'm in sweats! that's what I mean when I say public is men's space.
• Are presidents of small clubs on campus (not like College Dems but stuff like the Dr. Who club and Students for Liberty) considered public figures? --> Ergo, will rants about them be published? [Editor’s Note: no]
• Confunction function, what the FUNCTION is your function?
• Would it be possible to become wealthy by inventing iPhone apps and earning royalties off of them? Because I think I'd be much better at that than writing and whatever else people with legit jobs do.
• Shouts out to the people who work in the Capital One in the tunnel, I feel like they're under-appreciated but there are some quality people in there.
• Who could love me? I talk too much.
• @"I’m so lonely it’s sickening." <------- I wish this were you... ;)
• The father in the Chase Sapphire Preferred commercial TOTALLY looks like an older Zach Cohen. Literally can't stop thinking it every single time the commercial plays on Hulu.
• You are the definition of obnoxious. The less time I have to interact with you, the better.
• @forrest gump ranter. i see you, i see you
• One of the guys who works at the desk at the gym looks like Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones. I don't know if he knows it or not, but he is already set for a perfect Halloween costume.
• First, Forrest Gump ranters "F-OFF" everyone who is anyone has already seen it or heard these quotes in passing. Second, you are not witty, cool, or amusing. Last, you know who you would be in Forrest Gump? JENNY. And everyone hates JENNY.
• @ "I'm self paid to this school." Wonk campaign was privately funded, sorry to burst your bubble. You made your bed now sleep in it. Tuition sucks, but you know what sucks more than that? Families who game the public/private school system with taking nothing but AP courses because they were fast tracked at the behest of their parents when they were 8, and get out of a years tuition by escaping more than have of the General Course (either rich or Jewish kids).
• I have opinions!
• I am a Conservative who is alright with people being gay... but I draw the line when I find the double-sided dildo in our room in the open. Frankly, he had the balls to buy it but there are some things in life I rather not think about...
• I wish we could gas OCCUPY. I am middle class white with a boring life! Why don't I pretend the world is hard.
• I'm Winston Chruchill! Have some crumpets an tea.
• Beneath the paving stones, the beach.
• Boredom is counterrevolutionary.
• Never work.
• Hey that guy who writes about racism for the Eagle op-eds. Were you raised by wolves or are you naturally that ignorant?
• @ Guy who writes about racism for the Eagle op-eds. You go to AU for free with a C average in course work, and have literally only gained in every way possible from this school and you write about being persecuted. Have you no shame?
• Guy who writes about racism for the Eagle op-eds. LEAVE THEN, "Wa... wa... well of course not then I might have to pay for school!"
• "Rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer..." False, living standards have only increased in past 50 years, there have been periods of stagnation but not decline. Try to educate yourself before you wreck yourself.
• Conservative issues... I love RoboCop but just learned it was an attempt to characterize the Reagan years in the White House... System overload!
• 4 years later and Obama is still promising to lower tuition rates? Yeah... so how has that been going?
• Factcheck that factchecker!
• "Those are not the facts"... "but I have thirteen cited sources who support me?" "...those are not the facts."
• In Anderson and can hear room next to me...alright I creep and listen in on them getting it on... best line of the night. Guy, "I am into just about anything... except the ass." Girl, "What if I just go around the outside with my tongue?" Guy, "Let me clean up."
• Girls who eat out guys asses, shoot where do I find you? Really want to do this and am a virgin in this regard, I am clean and if you give a location and time you got me. Please come, I have been stood up twice by eagle ranters who did not have the cojones :( I could even buy you dinner after, seriously!
• Alea iacta est.
• Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
• Your punishment must be more severe.
• How is the Eagle $20,000 in debt?!?!?!
• I love Kerwin, "Oh you kids are whining about something? All I have to do is hold out for a month or two until you idiots realize you are insignificant and trite!"
• Based on their editorial, The Eagle staff would rather have the same about of semi-privileged kinda smart kids moping around campus than a few more well-deserving, low class students who otherwise couldn't come here.
• To those complaining about the changed financial aid formula: YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT!
• @Why is the sky always falling?: Lol, people should never be happy about the fact that they're still breathing.
• To the frat brothers who occupy tables in MGC for hours... there is more to life
• Gurl, when you ball dis hard itz all about the bacon bits.
• As a writer, I am disgusted with The Eagle's staff editorial about fin. aid. and merit awards. Do you not know that tuition went up, and may continue you go up, by 5% every year? Do you know how many students, including myself, that you offended. I am not merit or fin. aid., but I can understand why so many people are enraged with this editorial. This was obviously written by a group of students with merit awards and do not understand that financial aid requires academic AND financial standing. What is wrong with you Eagle?
• Thank you Professors for ruining all of my Halloween weekend plans! #pissed Sincerely, Over-worked Student
• you are just...so weird. like you say things and i have no idea why you think it makes sense to tell me those things

• So the Eagle flaunts students who admit to breaking the law in the form of driving with a Fake ID. Seriously. I understand you want to be liberal and understanding, but it makes me horribly insulted that you let students who admit to breaking federal law parade through your pages. Come. On.
• What did happen here? I played a tricky game in a foreign country...
• Does anyone want to jump into the piles of leaves on Mass Ave with me? There are also some big piles of leaves on Macomb street.
• Dear folks judging me for getting on the elevator to go to the third floor, REALLY?? I just got off of a very long, tiring work shift. It's not laziness, it's being exhausted enough to the point that walking hurts. Excuse me if it takes you another couple of seconds to get to your floor. I'm sooooooo sorry.
• HOLY SH*** IT'S ANOTHER F***ING DAY. IT'S THE BEST DAY EVER AGAIN. 'CAUSE I'M A STUPID F***ING AU STUDENT AND I DON'T KNOW SH*** AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SAD. I THINK I'LL RUN AROUND FOR NO GOOD REASON AND ACT LIKE THERE'S STUFF I GOTTA DO. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THE WORLD SUCKS BECAUSE I HAVE NO REFERENCE LEVEL.
• Dear CAUS, I will volunteer to pay more to get rid of you guys. Like, shut up. Sincerely, fed up with your complaining.
• Liberals R. Tools needs to get laid bad
• So I've been using okcupid to find a boyfriend, and I've met some really great compatible guys on there. Which websites can I use to find compatible friends? (I'm looking for sites that use scientific personality algorithms like okcupid does, not just sites where you can click and friend people like Facebook). Which ones do fellow ranters recommend? Thanks so much!
• If I applied to medical schools this summer and I still don't have any interviews by November, should I be worried?
• What is this Blendr thing everybody keeps talking about?
• caus, if tuition goes up, will you leave? if so, Dear Dr Kerwin, raise tuition. please!
• Is caus's next step an armed rebellion?
• To the cute girl on the 4th Floor I met in the elevator tonight (you got on an elevator going to the 5th floor, when you was meaning to go down - also trying to avoid your RA) - I'd love for it to happen again.
• you ruined a great thing all on your own
• @Sophomore sick of friend group: Join a club sport or sign up for sorority recruitment! Even if it's not a ideal club, at least you have more variety of people in life! :)
• Rehire Kevin!
• Just a rant passin' through.
• I don't understand people who walk loudly. I can't weigh that much less than you. You must step with extreme force, or maybe I tread lightly.
