<p>Amen.</p>
<p>I am trying to think deeply about the issue, that’s why I’m wasting time here. Consider this my second humanities class during all of college.</p>
<p>Anyway, I don’t understand this rejection of criticism directed at Brown, or at anything. Do you honestly think it’s better to just ZOMG love everything about Brown indiscriminately? That only brings your own opinion’s worth down to zero. If you can’t discern good from bad, why should anyone trust any of the good you proclaim?</p>
<p>And by bad I don’t mean petty issues like water consumption for trays, which only keep us busy but are completely irrelevant. </p>
<p>I like and appreciate things about Brown, and dislike others. So what, should I just keep my mouth shut, so everyone thinks Brown is absolutely perfect? That’s just completely stupefying. But it does I guess remind of times not long gone in my own country: where every day the paper would say how amazing everything is, how we are the best people, etc. This type of attitude leads to an immense dumbing down of the population. To the point where any criticism is regarded as treason. But people in charge weren’t so dumb you see. So every once in a while, they threw in some more or less made up criticism to the system. So people would think, “ha, see, we aren’t living a completely blind life, there are discussions, there is criticism, there is freedom of speech”. Complete ********. Much like what is going on here. No wonder Brown was rated BOTH most happy college and douchiest. You honestly think those are unrelated? Or what, you only arbitrarily choose which ratings you accept?</p>
