In light of yesterday's discussion, I give you today's Quote of the Day from Google
Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations.- Orson Welles
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
According to this site, I am 50% likely to be female, 50% likely to be male.

Yep. Still female.

Pillows. Delightful, plush pillows, Sean. That's what we were talking about. I think. Last I remember, at least.

I said no, he had until Thursday at 6. He said "well, if there's a problem, I'll be calling you again"
WTF? Who does he think he is? You SOOOO need to do the paperwork on THAT one. Though in that case, I then start wondering how much is the presumption on the student's part, and how much is the student being like "well, I really would like to turn it in late" and the mentor being like "Sure, no problem!"

This lightened the mood a bit, I must say. Though, a live reminder would really go a loooooong way.

I don't think that it's the student's "fault", per se. I actually like the student. I don't even think that she hasn't done what she's supposed to do. I'm more of the mindset that it is completely unfair to the other students to allow someone to walk in on the morning of the presentation to turn in their assignment.

Trust my rage
Vortex, Joe is currently dealing with a similar situation. After being explicitly warned not to cheat (this guy has a history), one of Joe's cadets was just thrown out of summer training for cheating.
His parents called Joe last night pleading for the kid to be given a second chance. Sadly, much of Joe's staff agrees with the kid and his parents. I spent most of our walk this morning reassuring Joe that he's not a huge asshole for insisting on enforcing the standards.

I will not lie. I will not cheat. I will not steal.
Isn't that the cadet's creed? Or part of it?
I find it disturbing that not only does the cadet in question not have a problem violating that creed, but so does Joe's staff.
