Anyway, these guys walk past and one of them mutters "Faggot" under his breath. I turn around and say "Excuse me?" and his friends look at him and he starts trying to intimidate me and grabs my shirt and starts pushing me. "Fuck off, homo. I'm not your butt buddy" He spits in my face.

cont. next post

Don't tell me someone mocked you for reading something called "The Gay Science"
Please, let them be at least less ignorant than that.

HOT STORY OP. I HOPE IT ENDS IN RAPE.

tl; dr. HA-HA your university is full of frat-boy jocks with no brain.

BRO YOU DESERVE THAT SHIT BRO FOR BEING QUEER ME N MY BROS WOULD HAVE JUMPED YOUR ASS FOR BEING SUCH A FAGBOY

>>2316362

you were asking for it, reading Nietzsche in public and looking like a pretentious twat. Next time, enrol at Oxford or Harvard or somewhere more highbrow

OP, its the truth, while there are many intelligent people in college, there are still a ton of ignorant as fuck party/frat guys. GE classes are the worst because these childish fools love to sit in the back of class and make fun of the teachers or lessons like its fucking HS. As you take more and more upperlevel classes you will deal less and less with these fucks. It is proof though that just because someone has got a degree in something doesnt actually mean they are smart. These shits just skate through... kinda like Bush

His friends are scowling at me and I was shocked. I couldn't belive that someone would be so fucking stupid and aggressive. I'm usually a pacifist, I don't like to fight. However, as a hobby I used to do a martial art. I'm not bragging, I actually studied a martial art because from the ages of 10 - 15 I wanted to be Neo from the Matrix "Woah, I know jujutsu! etc."

I'm staring at him in confusion and utter disbelief and he starts mocking me. He calls me names like "faggot boy" "dick mouth" and other lame homophobic jargon.

Anyway, I was late for my lecture and I was depressed. I nearly closed off. I'd never had someone so hostile in my face before. My girlfriend and best friend had both come from there respective lectures and we'd planned to meet in the park.

My friend and girlfriend knew that I know how to fight but these guys didn't. I knew I must have looked unimpressive

>I'm majoring in sociology

YEEEEP.....

>good scores in high school
>people who weren't fucking retarded

Sorry dawg, I've got some bad news for you.

Why are you surprised that college is filled with retards?

Getting good grades does not make you smart. Especially in high school. All it shows that you are able to be a slave to busy work.

OP, you should join a club or two where they discuss philosophy and such. Don't let it bother you dude, that just gives them the power to control your emotions.

LEAVE YOUR PORNO AT HOME NEXT TIME FAGGOT.

OH LOOK IT'S GOT RHYMES AND SONGS YOU CAN SING THOSE TO YOUR BF WHILE HE IS FUCKING YOU

mootblook
>I thought that I was studying in an environment of thinkers and people who weren't fucking retarded.
>I'm majoring in sociology and philosophy

hello? anyone there?

>>2316437

Exactly. Automatically disregarded this story as being honest and unbiased. Clearly has a western perspective to assume that one is intelligent when the hard work required to attend a 'prestigious' university' is actually relative to each individual hence, while this faggot OP was wasting his time reading about loving gay men, the 'jock' was too busy fucking his girlfriend while putting in minimal effort to school and BLAH BLAH BLAHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

>>2316478
Whats wrong with those two majors?

OP, say it all in one post. If your reading of Nietzsche hasn't led you to the conclusion that most people are idiots, then you are simply reading him WRONG.

Honestly, reading big books with complex ideas does not make you any kind of heir to genius. The kind of event you're describing is nothing out of the ordinary, and any regular person would have just accepted it rather than getting bent out of shape.

Also, read Baudrillard.

The aggressors friends came upto my friend who was meeting with me and started calling him my "butt buddy". My friend had recovered from cancer a year ago and isn't really strong and my friend swung at him and missed.

I then saw my friend get smacked in the face and go down in one hit. I was so angry. Robots, this is the angriest I have ever been in my life. The thing is, the guy who hit him knew that my friend had cancer because my friend had to drop out and renroll because of the illness. It was in the paper and everything. It was obvious that these guys were in third year too because of their attire (fraternity clothing).

So I snapped. I punched the guy who spat in my face in the jaw and I broke it. Then I stomped on the guy who hit my friends calf and caused the guy to fall forwards and smack his head on the pavement.

The other guy who was with them was beefy looking. He was muscled and was one of those big disgusting fat lards who somehow have muscle under their fat.

I was going to beat the shit out of him. A college professor got in between us before we could. My friend and I narrowly avoided expulsion and the aggressor was expelled.

I don't regret what I have done and would do it again in a heartbeat.

So is this science related to prostate health or something?

>>2316519
Lame story brah, did yer butt budy atleast give ya a rim job or somethin'?

>>2316519
Good for you OP. I'm glad you hit that fucker.

>>2316437
Woah, I'm guessing your a faggoty math/sci nerd. Do you realize how many occupations require people to attend a university these days?

Why don't you actually contribute something to a conversation instead of being a loser?

So for those of you that are too lazy and OP is TL;DR:

Hey guys, so in summary, I got my ass punked in front of my gf and her best friend for reading a useless book and I didn't fight back, so I'm resolve to throwing away any remaining dignity I have left by telling this tale on 4chan in order to get some epity.

>>2316510
Dont mind the troll, everyone in society should take classes in sociology, it really does open up your eyes to a lot of shit that happens in the world. It was never my major but since I enjoyed them so much I tended to sign up for any interesting one that I could. The kid who bashes probably is in HS or some business major. LOL, college is only for getting a job and not learning. hurr durrr

>>2316517 Here
Sorry for the tone OP, I'm naturally a douchebag. Every philosophy major's dream is to beat the everloving shit out of an absolutely despicable person, congratulations. It isn't often that a clearcut scanario calls for violence, and I wish I had the balls to do what you did.

Unrelated note, how is philosophy studied in the classroom? Also, how do you see yourself making money?

>>2316517
OP here. I've already read most of Nietzsches books I'm writing an essay that I've been assigned to do and I was looking for quotations to use.

Also I love Baudrillard.

Please end it with a Bel-air, because I don't belive in one word of your story.

THE GAY SCIENCE WHAT ARE YOU DOING SOME SORT OF FAGGOT STUDIES LOL!

>>2316519
As much as I agree with being above the ignorance and immaturity of others, there is only one thing that fools like this will understand, and that is violence. Unless you beat the shit out of them, they will think they were big shit and would keep on doing this sort of thing. If they get the shit knocked out of them enough, they will learn their lesson

AND THAT'S HOW I BECAME THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR!

>>2316557
I'm studying philosophy for fun. I find it really educational. Of course, there is no future for me in that subject but I find it interesting and I know that I'll regret it if I never studied it.

I don't really understand the "how is it studied?" question. I assume that it's studied the same way as it would be studied at any other university. I like this philosophy class because unlike others that I've been in we study specific concepts like existentialism for example. Other philosophy classes that I've been in has been more like the history of philosophy instead of the actual subject.

OP, happy venting. Welcome to the reality that we all enjoy, aint it fucked up. Nothing like those idealised versions that you read about or origionally believed is it. If you wanna get a better idea of it try talking to your instructors about something outside of thier feild of study, feed them the information first though but ask for thier thoughts and opinions about it.

>>2316631 cont.
I'm going to be working as either a social scientist or a manager of a community safe house. I'll be earning over $75,000 a year. (Australian btw)

>>2316565
Baudrillard lover here. We should probs start more threads on /r9k/ which pertain to scholarly pursuits. I dream of a world where threads about postmodernism are the norm, and relationship threads are unheard of. Also, doesn't Baudrillard's view of the current world as a universal farce as the hyperreal make all previous ideas of the world obsolete, or at least somewhat compromised? Nietzsche was brilliant, but he was writing about a much different world than the one we live in today.

>>2316631

yeah dude, got a degree in political philosophy ... nice to see someone wanting to do sometihng like that for the intellectual curiosity rather than needing to get a shitty career.

>>2316519
>I punched the guy who spat in my face in the jaw and I broke it.

How?

How can you verify that it "broke"? Did it explode into 2 neat pieces and dangle from his face? You might of dislocated his jaw... Also... WHY AM I READING THIS?

>I don't regret what I have done and would do it again in a heartbeat but my mom got scared and said you're moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air.

FIXED.

>>2316571
Yeah, I read the first two posts then just started scanning the endings for "Bel-Air."

Woah, this reminds me of /b/.

/r9k/ is like micro/b/

>>2316400
>>2316425
>>2316456
>>2316593
>>2316619
Will you now go back to /b/?

>>2316676
I didn't know at the time. I was suspended from school for a week and when I came back I was spoken to and asked questions. I was then told what I had done. Currently I'm on probation. If I get in any more fights I'm kicked out forever.

This would never happen in a UK university. "frat boys" do not exist in educational institutions. Even the worst of them.

You're just mad because someone made a hilarious joke at your expense. I would be too, but I would also probably make the joke if someone else were reading it.

>>2316754
we dont necessarily have frat boys as much as we have fighter jocks. and they are annoying as hell sometimes.

>>2316362
IT'S NOT THE GAY SCIENCE

IT'S DIE FROHLICHE WISSENSCHAFT/capslock

literal translation is ''the cheerful wisdom'', but it was first translated into english as The Joyous Wisdom by Thomas Carlyle, it's all Kaufmann's fault

>I wanted to be Neo from the Matrix
lol

>>2316754
That might be so but I mean, wtf. The streets of england are fucking dangerous.

What retarded fucking school do you go to? You should've made better choices, OP.

>>2316754
True enough, but there are still a shit ton of people who shouldn't be there. I get that people want to go for better job prospects and for socialising, but christ, have some pride in studying at least. I got laughed at in amazement the other day for saying I fucking love reading.

>>2316800
Wow, a gay joke. That's pretty impressive. Totally not what I would expect of a ten year-old such as yourself.

>>2316436
>My girlfriend and best friend had both come from there respective lectures and we'd planned to meet in the park.
>had both come from there respective lectures
>there

Come on, /r9k/; I thought you were meant to be hyper-intelligent superhumans? (I would have said "ubermensch" hur hur, but can't be bothered to flick through Character Map for umlauts, and can't remember the plural form)

the problem is that you go to a school with frats.

residential colleges >> fraternities.

stopped reading this shit after
>I'm majoring in sociology and philosophy

>>2316856
The fact that it bugs you is what makes it funny.

>>2316859
Also, I believe it's "I know kung fu", not "...ju-jutsu"/"...-jitsu".

OP, if you go to a big university, then, regardless of its academic prestige, you are going to have a small proportion of stupid athletes. Most, if not all universities, recruit the best athletes possible without regard to their college application.

Also, I find psychology and sociology just as fascinating as the next guy, but for some reason, the major tends to attract a lot of academic underachievers. This isn't to say it's not a challenging or rewarding major, it's just more popular with the bottom-feeders. I propose that you simply stop caring, OP. Also, fraternities are often the cesspools of the university, so I'd stay away. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule...

Of course college is full of retards. I remember getting upset at bad grades in high school, thinking I wouldn't get in the college I wanted to get in. In all the years I've been at Georgia Tech, I still can't grasp how some idiots get in.

Some stupid bitches I can understand (trying to fix The Ratio, etc.), but god damn.

>>2316866
What? That isn't true. Skull and bones society, all that crap. Where I'm from a group of dormitories is called a fraternity. Where the fuck are you from broseph?

>>2316937

What year are you?

I heard that the dropout rate at GA Tech is pretty high. Supposedly it's easy to GET in, but hard to STAY in.

>>2316942

How exactly is skull and bones relevant to this discussion? They're not a fraternity OR residential college...

>>2316859
lol 0/10 failtroll. I kind of lol'd but really, we all mak spellon mistoks

>>2316960
fraternity = college gang = blah

I seriously doubt that 90% of your story happened the way you described it. You broke his jaw? Yeah fucking right.

I doubt you have a girlfriend, either, if you're the kind of scrawny pussy that assholes like that pick on.

>>2316948
I mean, I guess you have to try somewhat to get in. It's also pretty easy to stay in, though don't expect a high GPA. I remember I had a 2.8 GPA, which isn't that bad, when I was getting my undergrad. That is, until I managed to blackmail most of my professors based on nothing.

>>2317059
Woah, just woah. I think someones projecting. You're a scrawny pussy and maybe you don't know how easy it is to break someones jaw? It's fucking easy. Don't kid yourself into thinking that you're invincible just because you're big and tall. If someone learns how to fight properly you're fucked.

tl;dr fuck you

>>2317009
Honestly, that was probably my first post to /r9k/, and I don't browse it very often. On closer inspection, it seems even more pretentious than /mu/, although it's nice at least that there's a forum where anons can discuss, for example, Nietzsche as opposed to just vidyagaems or dickgirls or etc. etc.

Normally when I see an "its raining men" or "their are >9000 species of..."-level error on other forums, Anonymous is quick to chastise. Maybe I was trying to protect a dream of /r9k/ers (?) actually being... erm... ubermenschen? Maybe I just wanted to be the smartarse who called someone else out on poor grammar or spelling or whatever, for once (normally missing my shot because I LIKE TO TYPE LOTS AND LOTS OF WORDS A LOT)?

Who knows?

>>2316948
Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm on my last year to get my graduate degree in Compsci.

>>2316302

>>2317287

Shit, wrong topic.

College is the last place you will find intelligent people.

SO GUESS WHAT GUYS I WAS BEING SMART AND READING THIS SMART BOOK FOR SMART GUYS LIKE ME AND I SO TOTALLY KNEW EVERYONE KNEW THAT THIS BOOK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOMOS. WELL ANYONE THIS DUMB DUMMY HEAD CAME AND ROUGHED ME UP. ISNT HE JUST A JERK FOR NOT BEING AS ME RIGHT GUYS? I TOTALLY OWNT HIM AFTERWARDS CUZ I TOOK KARATE WHEN I WAS FIVE.

DID I TELL YOU GUYS I AM MAJORING IN PHILOSOPHY? SHIT WAS SO CASH.

The US university system weirds me out, as a Eurofag.

We don't have fraternities (in the US sense - Germany has its 'Corps' of course, for people who like fencing minus protection). Don't have dorms either. You've got student housing, but that's run and organized by the students themselves. (and at worst, you share a communal kitchen. Never a room.)

All in all, a Uni student is treated as any other adult. My perception is where students are expected to be adults, they also act that way.

>>2317379
Yeah same in the UK. I don't understand America's "bro-fratboy" culture at all. You go to a university to learn, right? At least tell me that's true...

Half the over achievers in my high school planned to just drink and fuck through out college, I wonder how it turned out for them.

sidenote: The other half were man-made social retards and/or beaten viciously by their parents for Bad Grades. This includes the asians

Anyone I've ever considered truly "smart" either tried college and flunked out miserably or skipped it completely. This is because the system rewards effort, not intelligence. Simply showing up to class, turning in your work on time, and regurgitating what the textbook or professor tells you is enough to get a degree. Critical thought is not only unnecessary in this process, but can be a hindrance as well.

>I'm majoring in sociology and philosophy
>The people here are so fucking stupid it's infuriating.

I think you just answered your own question.

>>2317403
ITT people trying to justify their own failures.

standards getting lower?
GOOD.
It's bad enough that you have to pay these fuckers approx. 80,000 just for a fucking bachelors, why make it worse with ridiculously high standards just to get in

Fuck college

>>2317409
You're a loser. Probably don't have the inclination to learn anything outside what is neccesary. Fuck off and get out of the thinking mans forum.

I'm saging this thread now because it's getting overrun with judgemental faggots.

Thought I'd just illustrate what the German fraternities are up to.
Spot the loser.

Can anyone tell me why this spelling error is so common? It looks less like the sound of the word than the correct spelling...

how is this believable in the slightest?

>>2316668
If you're interested in discussing Baudrillard, Postmodernism, Poststructuralism, etc, in an online forum, you seriously HAVE to check out Dissensus. Great board for those kinds of discussions, as well as a good helping of leftist politics and underground music (a lot of the most interesting music journalists and bloggers hang out there)... The place could always use new minds.

Hey guys why is the consumer society so expensive? I want to check it out but it's like $52bux new, $28 used

That's not even a real word!

OP's story is probably completely fabricated.

But it was fun to read because we've all had little fantasy's like that.

ur a faggot

>>2318090
aree you fucking trolling?

>>2318037
the guy expressed interest in discussing Baudrillard and postmodernism more often. I think my recommendation was relevant, considering Dissensus is practically made for that kind of discussion..

...you anti-intellectual cunt.

maybe if you went to an actual good school, instead of Georgetown or Vanderbilt or whatever caveman school you actually go to, this wouldn't happen to you

>>2316571
This is exactly what I was hoping for.

4chan would be a better place if you edited everyones posts for them.

Expected Bel-Air, left disappointed. Not least of all because Kaufmann thinks My Sister and I is a fraud, and I respectfully disagree with him, and my opinion on the subject is worthless because it's not even close to my field.

Enjoy your ignorance and uninformed guesses at why people act the way they do.

>>2317350

He wasn't trying to be pretentious. The reason he said he was a soci / phil major was because all of these majors are well aquainted with this text. The fact that you would have made fun of him just proves that you are as stupid as the fratfags.


>>2316879

Jusus Christ would you people learn to pick up on context clues. It has nothing to do with homosexuals.

>I'm majoring in sociology and philosophy and I was sitting in the campus park reading the book pictured. It's called "The Gay Science" and it's by a famous philosopher I'm sure that you've all heard of.

Hell I could have just reposted that in all caps and got the same effect.

nice try op.

I'm not op. Pretentious = thinking your better or elite, not thinking that standards should be higher.

He was stating that the standards of peoples cognitive problem solving that attend college should go past "gay means homo. Let's rip his shit." universities are a place of learning, not bigotry.

I'm at Northwestern and all the guys in my hall care about are college football and getting drunk/pussy. They are transfers though, so that could be part of it.

Standards are being lowered, yes. Take for example the setup I have from my problems:
--no due dates
--no minimum length on anything
--almost any topic I want
--some reports are optional
--constant congratulations that I am in high school instead of an asylum

Now, as of this moment this applies only to me. But I think that in the future, everyone will face the same low standards I do.

ITT: Dumb fucks who feel dumb because they know the OP is smarter than them. By insulting OP, They attempt to drag him down a bit and feel slightly better. "see, He ain't so smart, He's a queer faggot, at least I'm not a queer faggot"

Seriously. get off my 4chan.

>>2320455
No, _snobbery_ is thinking you're better or elite.
Pretentiousness is doing so when it's unwarranted.

So basically it's a place where we all get to talk about how smart we are, awesome
