My friend George wrote about his moral duty to help other countries in the Middle East, specially by spreading democracy around those places...rejected by Berkeley, accepted by Yale

You guys
I just heard that from a friend. Come on. I just want to know if this rumor is true

I'm curious if the overall nature of our responses is any hint to you as to whether it is true or not? O_o

Em, it's not true.
Berkeley is a hippie school. They lack patriotism and pride toward America. They blame everything on our government and hates authority. It is the most liberal institution in the country and values "coolness factor" over everything and they'll think anything non-American is immediately placed high in the coolness rating. So if you say you'll help out non-American country, it's actually a Plus because their goal is to train students to strengthen other countries to stand against "American Tyranny" (Berkeleyan Term for USA).

um... i hope you were kidding. ^^^not true at all.

no i don't think that rumor is true. i think it just really depends on how you come off as an individual.

It's true! I saw a North Korean and Iranian official at Berkeley the other day speaking with the dean! The dean told him "Everything is going to plan, Sir."
The North Korean bared his teeth in an evil grin and hissed "Excellent..."
All three commenced with an ominous "Muhahahahahahahaha.."

It was all very, very disturbing...

no -- it's not true.

probably one of the top three stupidest rumors i've ever heard.
