E-PrinceI am always amused to read the exchanges between the Anscombe Society’s spokesperson (whoever that may be) and the token sexual liberal who responds (whoever that may be) in the editorial pages of the ‘Prince’ come Valentine’s Day ...(back to the article)

"Yes, the choice is somewhere in the middle", said Neville Chamberlain, as he signed over Sudetenland to Nazi Germany.
You can compromise on ice cream flavors and which movie to watch, but not on values of morals and ethics.
Those who say there are no truths in the world have just contradicted themselves.
"“Something’s Gotta Give,” is a movie marketed toward women, who are seen as wanting "long-term" relationships and true love. “Wedding Crashers” and “Sex Drive” contain male humor (which male would want to see any of these movies WITHOUT the humor?), so the romance part is there to attract women. Same with "Superbad," where the humor appeals mainly to male audiences...
It seems someone found the formula for getting comments on one's article
Dude, princeton09, I hate to break it to you, but I would bet my right testicle (I think I bet my left one on some other comment, unclear if I lost it...) that most every guy on campus wants true love and a "long-term" relationship, at least at some point in their life. Like, guaranteed...
I'm pretty confident (though it's a completely unbacked claim) that the association of romance and true love to women must have something to do with being thought of as gay if you're a guy who likes that stuff. I mean, let's be honest (nod to that other article), it's pretty gay for a guy to get all emotional at a love scene? Am I wrong? Well, I certainly should be wrong, as being gay, I'm pretty sure, has nothing to do with crying, but more with liking the penis...
I've never seen someone violate Godwin's Law so quickly in a comment thread as here.
Boning and giving Nazis Bohemia are simply not equivocal.
Godwin's Law states that the probability of someone raising Hitler in a discussion approaches 1 as the discussion continues indefinitely. You can only violate the law by failing to mention Hitler as a conversation gets really long.
Also, equivocal means "open to two interpretations" or "ambiguous." Maybe you meant to write "equivalent."
Sorry to break your balls, but you once wrote in a letter on the Prince: "[name of grad student who wrote an op-ed] should stick to what grad students do best — poorly precepting classes and occasionally hitting on undergrads on the Street — and stay away from topics grad students know nothing about. Namely, sex and its related issues."
Maybe you should stick to doing whatever it is that you do best, as long as it doesn't involve intellectual accuracy--and keep in mind that needlessly insulting a large segment of the population doesn't impress your friends, and as time passes the probability that a member of that group will respond approaches 1. Maybe we should call that MEvL's Law.
Finally! I have been waiting all this time to get owned by an anonymous graduate student for word misuse in the comments section of a Prince editorial over a joke letter to the editor I wrote two years ago as the editor of a humor magazine. The day has come at long last! Thank you, kind, nameless graduate avenger who is totally not creepy for holding a two year grudge and staying closely involved in undergraduate affairs, for proving graduate students have no life!
In fact, that I am commenting, again, on a story in the newspaper of a school I graduated from last year also proves graduate students have no life. Why? Because I am a graduate student! CRUEL FATE!
It should be unnecessary to point out that movies are a terrible indicator of reality, particularly as Hollywood is dominated by women and gay men, and romantic comedies in particular show this influence. For example, the typical "nice guy" male lead would fail in real life, as women want not slavish persistence but social dominance.

MEvL, while your second post is self-deprecating, it doesn't change the fact that @MEvL still pwned you. And, with a snarky, mean-spirited comment that even I, the non-grad student, remember, you had it coming.
Other than your romantic comedy supposition, do you have anything to back up the claim that "Hollywood is dominated by women and gay men..."? That's news to me.
