Eagle Rants: November 9, 2012

• Good things come to those who wait.

• Tell your boyfriend who wants a sexually open relationship to go f*** himself. If he loves you, and if the two of you want to start a family together, then he needs to be in a place where he can support you unconditionally. End of story. It sounds like he's more concerned with himself than he is with you, and that's a sign that you should kick him to the curb. I promise that you can find a better guy out there who would love you more than he does.

• As a guy, I can tell you that there are A LOT of us who would never dream of cheating, or even want an open relationship if our partners were okay with it. Your boyfriend sounds like a major douche, and that's not something I would normally say to someone.

• @netflix you tool: clearly you can't read. My original rant was asking for an alternative to Netflix. The person who responded recommended imdb. Then i thanked him. Try and keep up.

• @Tried to ask a girl out last night and couldn’t work up the courage….urghh maybe I’m not ready :( What is the first letter of her name?

• ADBLOCK SUGGESTER, I LOVE YOU

• To EVERYONE complaining about CAUS. I get why your mad but yo there where flyers everywhere. And don't act like you were sleeping. It happened so get over it

• There's a chance we could make it now; we'll be rocking til the sun goes down

• @"I can't wait to meet you"- me either ;)

• Girl desperate for her bf to propose: what he is doing is extremely manipulative, and it sounds like you're in a relationship that's hurting you more than it's helping you. As hard as this sounds, you need to break it off. There IS someone out there who will treat you better and want monogamy. You deserve so, so much better. Good luck!

• "Turn out the light Don't try to save me Well you may be wrong for all I know But you may be right"

• meh meh meh meh meh

• You ask the most annoying/interesting questions in class everyday. I can't make up my mind whether I hate you or not.

• There is no such thing as bad publicity. Way to go CAUS.

• To the cute guy with curly hair sitting in TDR with your friends on the cereal side...you're cute :)

• Liking to be dominated is not super kinky. It's more like french vanilla.

• Wow @ all the people complaining about the CAUS making noise. I was in the library at the time and it was really not all that disturbing and 11:15 isn't exactly the dead of night. I didn't take part in this thing since I didn't know about it, but it's so lame that the rich kids here would rather pay thousands of dollars more in tuition than make some effort to fight this if it means making some noise (or disturbing poor Kerwin's sleep, as if his tuition hikes aren't going to screw us all over in our personal lives way more).

• The hot tub's too hot.

• @RE:@super bummed: I am talking about you, E.J. with two E's! When do you want meet? How's Monday ~11:45 at the dav? I'll be inside!

• Anyone saying the CAUS protest was too disruptive has clearly never heard of protesting.

• To the people that complain about eagle rants...if you don't like them, don't read them.

• I'd love to know what "student body" the CAUS claims to represent when they do nothing but bash every single student who disagrees with them. Their facebook page includes comments like "f student government" (Newsflash: it's the group that's ACTUALLY elected to represent. Y'all just decided you're representative) and diatribes basically bashing every STUDENT group that doesn't worship at their unwashed feet. Get over yourselves and stop embarrassing this campus.

• @"bf of 4 years said he would propose and we can get married if I agree to a sexually open marriage." Woah woah woah. No, men don't always cheat, he's just got no self-control. He's probably cheated on you already, get out of there.

• Yes. I really miss talking to her, that’s all!: Yeah, I'm trying. It's weird when they've moved on, but you haven't. It'll come though, in time. We got this :)

• @ "I actually really hope family values are destroyed. Families are dumb." Congratulations, I think you pretty much just summarized the DNC platform. Sincerely, Liberals R. Tools.

• @ "When I read Liberals R Tools’ posts, I imagine a tiny little man frothing at the mouth and rolling on the ground spewing nonsense." That's funny - when I read liberals' posts, I imagine a dirty hippie with an attitude and a sense of entitlement. Oh wait...that's reality. Sincerely, Liberals R. Tools.

• Can we start talking again? I know you don't want to be anything more, you have your girl. Please, I miss you in my life and your hilarious personality. Answer my texts, even if they're late at night, just answer them in the morning or whenever. I miss being the friends we were like two weeks ago. I'll take the friendzone over this zone of nothingness.

• sorry I'm not screwing up my life, but just because you are doesn't make you better than I am.

• Learned something today small talk=friend zoned, flirting=relationship (possibly)

• Today I learned it's not just guys that participate in No-Shave-November....didn't think I needed to know that

• @"grindr suicide": Yeah, but maybe the people you blocked won't notice, or you can block them again, change your picture/headline so they don't notice, etc. Is the cutie worth it? ;)

• @"grindr's sketchy as anything." I completely understand everything you've said and I really really appreciate it. It's definitely sketchy, but I don't use it for random/weird hookups cause that's not my thing. But anyway, it's nice to know there are other quality gay guys out there. Maybe we'll meet someday, and if not, I hope at least you find one of the great guys in our "boat." Thanks again. -Gay Ranter

• @more organic student-set-up-dating service: I agree! forget the student government and hall councils, you're right! my bad :P

• @open relationship proposal: what. the. actual. f*ck. He's not being "honest," he's being stupid. I don't care what you learned in whatever class, but "it still hurts" for a reason. I'm a guy, and if I'm going to propose to someone, I'm going into it with the intent of " 'till death do us part." Not " 'till I eventually cheat." I know people do open marriages, but you don't sound too fond of it. There are PLENTY of guys out there who will want to marry you and be with you-and only you.

• I love my roommate, really, but she's such a hypocrite and completely intolerant. I respect her outrageous religious views she forces on everyone and I don't say a word when she constantly tries to up one everyone, but tonight when I was watching the Youtube video on Obama tearing up whilst thanking his staff, she storms in and goes "He's a lying thief". Im sorry, what? I never said a word to you! We just had a lovely evening. I've never been that blunt about things about her I don't like, but maybe I'll start to be

• does know who i is? does you listen to music? do you watch tv? DO YOU CARRY A LUNCHBOX?!

• Craig Ferguson is hilarious

• We need white voters; not just blacks and hispanics. Saying its not a white election is racist and it only furers the discrimination that divides our nation.

• don't stand so close to me

• Call me old-fashioned, but for me the purpose of marriage is for two people (regardless of gender identity) to proclaim to each other and their loved ones that they deeply love each other and they want to only be each other for the rest of their lives. The fact that he's saying "most men cheat anyways" tells me that a) he has no self control and b) he will end up cheating on you.

• And I bet you any money that if you took advantage of the openness of this marriage, he would have a problem (no matter what he says now). You have to leave this guy. If after 4 years he still doesn't want to commit to you and only you, chances are he's not going to anytime soon.

• Brace yourselves, the CAUS reply rants are coming...

• Yeah, Obama authorized drone strikes which killed civilians and children. It's a tragedy. But Romney would have done the same thing, and he would have taken our country back 50 years. So that's why we're celebrating. Should we be mourning the fact that some third party candidate who statistically had no chance of winning didn't win?

• Ward is full of gorgeous ladies right now. YAY

• Wooohooo a bunch more just came in.

• wait, this must be a trap... ALL MEN GET OUT OF WARD IMMEDIATELY

• "I should just buy the United States" - Mitt Romney

• Eagle rants needs a trigger warning. Editors, consider that or perhaps limiting the obscenely offensive comments. (I mean, whatever happened with the whole hate speech? That isn't protected under any law, FYI)

• CAUS deserves all the hate it gets here on Eagle Rants. They are simply dogmatic, obnoxious, whiners who don't understand the mechanics of the real world. Every CAUS member I've talked to has never had to truly work for themselves and is more disrespectful of personal rights than anyone else I know.

• I think I'm getting sick for the third time this semester :(

• I really like this girl on my floor. We went to lunch and I had a great time. I really hope it works out this time.

• DO NOT MARRY HIM. He probably is already cheating and that's why wants an open relationship. You are young. You deserve someone who won't make you hurt. Kick his sorry a*s to the curb.

• glad you're taking the hint and being more of a Lship biddie than a bear.

• lol, CAUS has become the most hated entity on AU since Alex Knepper.

• You keep saying exploited... I do not think that word means what you think it means.

• Hey Everyone! I know what we should do! Since none of us have anything better to do and our lives are so meaningless that the only way for us to find joy is in *itching about EVERYTHING, irregardless of its relevance in our own lives, lets all act like a bunch of petulant children and bang on pots and pans in the middle of the night... oh wait, we already did that.

• I sometimes, check that, ALWAYS wish I had never met you. You communist kids without a caus (haha see what I did there) are always looking for something to champion. It really is too bad that you don't see how most of the problems you want to "fix," you created in the first place.

• When I talk to you, I like to think that Darwin would be disappointed.

• I wish I was your second derivative so I could investigate your concavities.

• Wanna expand my polynomial?

• All that Communism needs to make it successful is someone to feed and clothe it.

• @Open marriage girl. Yes you are wrong to agree to that. Statistically the younger you get married, the more likely you are to get divorced. Wait until you find someone who's ready to commit to YOU.

• Most people who read "The Communist Manifesto" probably have no idea that it was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless spoke boldly in the name of "the workers". ~Thomas Sowell -Sound like anyone else we know? (cough, cough, CAUS, cough)

• Can someone explain why someone yelled "sell your house" at Neil Kerwin in that Caus video? Really? Sell your house? What good would that do? Herp de derp, we want tuition to go down, herp de derp, sell your house! Just no.

• There are 5 people in my contemporary Africa class paying attention right now. I have no idea what the point of his lecture is as usual. WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

• @Iwould’vewhistled Cut the patriarchy and check your privilege.

• @Sexism Erm, no. That's called prejudice. You can't be sexist against men because, definitionally, 'sexism' and 'racism', and all other 'isms' imply a societal stance against a particular group. You can be PREJUDICED against men, but then there's not much you can do about it, as a woman. Ergo THE DIFFERENCE.

• @Ican'tstopcutting Talk to somebody. Do you want me to give you my doctor's name?

• @"Let's go to all the CAUS members' doors in the middle of the night and yell and scream at that. See how that feels." Uh pretty sure they're not the ones making me go even further into debt next year and the year after to keep going to AU. Anyway I think the whole point is that it doesn't feel so good to be waken up by banging pots

• i hate having a roommate. it was fun for a while, but i just want to be ALONE. sheesh.

• @"so. sexually. frustrated": Me too :) Let's meet up and fix that, okay?

• If you're cutting yourself - make friends.

• And if you hit the table then the record might skip might skip. I told. Stop hittin the table.

• @OpenMarriageGirl If you don't like the idea of it, that's never going to change. Don't marry this guy.

• That awkward moment when you realize that Mitt Romney is Christian Grey.

• @ berskshire blondie: if I'm thinking of the same dude, don't let his gf scare you off. Dudes always down for a sidepiece

• lol @ the video of Kerwin admitting he's only accountable to the corporate execs that make up the board of trustees. not that it's any surprise, but still
