new york seems more exciting but harder to break into the education system there. boston seems more boring and plain, small, but managable school system, with bunker hill being very accessible and easy to sign up in. but there seems to be more excitement out in new york.
plus new york has the united nations building
im starting to look through the new york list of colleges now. there's alot. it's intimidating.
there's alot of very specialized schools, like one for jewish boys, another for hispanic youth. many are very small schools.
there's a place called briarcliffe, but it seems suspect as it's a "subsidiary of the Career Education Corporation". sounds scummy.
the other thing is the place doesn't have many actual associate's degrees to pick from. kinda disappointing.
looks a bit weak
now this looks a little bit more like it, the City University of New York. 450,000 students.
so there's a set of community colleges, which someone can earn an associates at, which then allows students to go into what're called i guess "senior colleges" where kids can go and get a bachelor's degree.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_University_of_New_York_(CUNY) - this has the list of all the schools involved.

college #2
its interesting there's people in my shoes trying meet people out in boston. its strange how boston has so many schools. but it seems like that's probably the place to study. then new york the place to work. i dont know.
8 percent of bostonians are apparently self-identifying Asian Americans. no idea how much of that is american indians. or rather, indian americans.
i guess you immigrate / raise kids in new york, and send them to school in boston. heh.
those racist laws written to keep indians out might've been there to protect the locals from foreign elements coming in driving wages down and escaping with riches perhaps not for the benefit of the country - but social climates have changed and kids today have no such ties to the country india which is more often told to them rather than them themselves speaking it out that they indeed share a relationship with the country in question. when examining americans very rarely today does one resort to tracing back the history to the point in time where america and england shared ties. so many have lived and died since those days that it only really survives in those longest lived of things, the laws, design of government, the architecture of the streets, and remnants in the words taught to children on american soil today. but certainly having spent time in ones life in england is no longer a prerequisite of a "typical" american. holding people prisoner and forcing them to live by dead time is insulting the way time works. in time, all things will be forgotten. insistance of folk keeping to old world histories is just a manipulation by folk interested in power grabs and votes and not one who is interested in representing the people in question. its often by people who want nothing to do with these people. but those that represent the population itself would hold no such view.
desi's in the house by sunaina marr maira
the amazon.com listing
that booked seemed pretty good. surprising a bad review was given. but i think i might buy it hah.
what if i got a major in indian-american studies.
i just feel like college majors are largely needless things.
reasons why i dont want to go to college

college
anyone can get a degree...
why doesn't it fucking say what classes you'll take. it's like they don't want you to know. fucking sociology major. (grad)
these look so boring. strategy formulation and implimentation?... rediculous. i can see how this stuff wuold benefit someone already in the field but i dont get why anyone would just try and polish off a shiny new business MD or whatever just for the hell of it. these htings have such specific application that it just doesnt seem like it makes sense for them to be taught to people who have no interest in being a business xyz.
heh, apparently you can have a Ph. D in music. wtf.
i hate reading about college stuff. i hate tests. apparently Ph. D stands for doctor of philosophy. and apparently german / french are REQUIRED by a music... phd. what the fuck. im guessing this is like a degree of ancient music. or whatever.
i just hate everything about college. the whole uniform shit with the tassle and whatnot on graduation day. the fucking way that there is a designated "teacher" who is made to be given utmost respect. fucking rediculous. i can't respect random people. and i hate taking etsts. to me i'd rather test myself on the real world to see if i had it right, rather than on some fucking paper where it's more about the art of some specific pursuit than necessarily the truth of the real world. they aren't measuring intelligence but compliance. that's what i feel anyway.

neo nazi coverage should include both the protestors and the actual people there for the meeting. this one just interviewed protestors, and didn't give us a full picture.
alot of these republican articles out there trying to talk about obama as say lenin in modern day seem to devolve into unnecessary hatefests, they may have a grain of truth to them, in that the first paragraph of the rant is civily done and hardly contestable, and then it goes to hell. just more or less grevious insults that have no base and are just designed at slinging mud. these under the guise of a "discussion." terrible.
its stupid that missionaries believe its their job to go over and convert all peoples of the world to christianity. bringing progress is one thing, by offering technology and solutions to their local problems, bringing modernity and all that, but to persuade peoples to abandon their faiths and adopt your own... to offer the carrot at the end of the stick in the form of the promise of positive change... but intertwining it with the message of the christian gospel... its a terrible sadistic and destructive process.
"people go to hell for their sins whether or not it's their culture".
are you kidding me? what a fucking twattish motherfucker this dude is. to assume so much about his own beliefs. yes, you, little monkey-offspring, talking big about all of your species... and where is god in terms of your animal bretheren? just rediculous. your religion was INVENTED two thousand years ago. unfortunately, man has been around at least a million, in our most modern form... wake the fuck up kid. you're just the newest kid on the block. everyone in the world could sit and believe christianity, ubt that wouldn't guarentee it would last forever. the next major thing would rise, maybe islam, maybe something completely different, and it would be spread, by way of gunpowder, or spearpoint, and that empire would spread its beliefs as it asserted its dominance over you or your descendants. nothing is permanent in the fickle world of human imaginings and social construcuts. we're constantly evolving. a man penned your religious doctrine, maybe a pack of men, and it's just a story, perhaps one that's there to show a general spiritual mantra, but they certainly didn't necessarily intend that followers of said religion wipe out all diversity. turning a pious mans plight into the heart of an empires lust for global domination is an abomination of something perhaps once meaningful and pure.
