I just think Cobrat is a very popular guy because he knows so many people. It doesn't matter what we are talking about, he always has a cousin or friend with some sort of experience to back up his point of view.

My family has deep roots in Western Europe and your account would be at the antipodes of the experiences of my European cousins.
| So does Xiggi. He has a very good friend named google.

My cousin doesn't think that the current discussion about Asian and European universities has very much to do with the subject of this thread and he wishes that more people would chime in on the original topic.

Cbreeze, your comments have been out of bounds for a while now. You are only embarrassing yourself. Do you have something constructive to add to this discussion?
As far as the cousins part, I rarely bring such experience in the public discussions. In this case, there is a direct relevance as they went through the college transition from high school at the same time as I did. No hearsay. No googling needed.

Last post was cut off in editing.
Needed to add that the cousins part was an attempt to find common grounds in a continuing dialogue with Cobrat.
A few will understand what I mean.

Xiggi-- I was just trying to make a dumb joke that in retrospect fell flat. My grandmother would be appalled by my snarky tone. [winky face]. Sorry 'bout that.

Encountered many European and Asian students from mostly well-off families who were sent here to the states for high school and college because they'd otherwise be shut out of gaining a university education.
| Is there any topic discussed on CC where you haven't personally claimed to have "encountered" a lot of people who did just that very thing and / or know what the majority of people "regard" as the right thing to do in those circumstances?

No, Cbreeze, whatis embarrassing is a participation that is confined to following another poster for the sole purpose of dissecting posts, taking words out of context, and relying to ad hominems.

Xiggi, notice that I was merely quoting you. Those were your words.If you don't wish to be embarrassed, don't write them.

Read posts #271 and #277. The difference is the target.
My quotes were taken from your very short and succinct posts in whole sentences, no dissecting words or taken out of context was necessary.
Again, if you find your own words to be offensive or embarrassing, I can't help you.

Gerald Chow must be hurting for money now to throw his boys' reputation, his reputation, and possibly his Harvard Kennedy School degree into the sewer

I think you've misunderstood me. Your link is good. I was simply pointing out that the author of the biglychee blog uses two CC threads about the Chow/Zimny lawsuit as sources and posts links to them (us)!
