Nick I think it would be beneficial for you to practice a little more understanding of your “boomer” cousin’s background. His generation protested all over the place and they saw the power of protest bring about radical social change before them, pertaining to racial and sexual equal rights. The boomer generation sees our generation as lazy and uninterested in the betterment of society. To him the fact that there are any youth at all staging protests is encouraging. Yes the NYU protest was all over the place with the random amalgam of issues. And yes the argument could be made that they’re spoiled rich kids. But wealth is relative to a certain degree. Many would say you are a spoiled rich kid because you can even live in NYC at all. There are alot of poor individuals in this country who would love to even look at NYU.

Dude, you need to ask your cousin if he knows what the meaning of “democracy” and “consensus” are. Because nothing that happened in that video showed much of either. It was “confrontational” and “illegal”.

Taeil: Yes, all those legendary Israeli oil fields! Where are they again? They aren’t any in Israel.

Nick: Your cousin was serious? Shit, how many of these consensus fuckers are there out there? Those holiday dinners must be doozys in your family.

Hi guys–Nick here. Just to clarify: my cousin was deadly serious. I recognize that his response could come off as a parody of itself, but he’s for real.

And in response to the grammarian “Jucifer”: dude, you just raped my mind. Really, semicolons; damn

Yes Gay, we give a lot of money to Israel. Then again, they give us a lot back in oil for appreciation.

I played a show last Thurs. at a place in the East Village called, “The Yippie Museum,” and all of these cunts were having a meeting there. Between every song, I screamed, “Fuck Palestine.” Oh, they hated us and a few even spit. It was glorious.

Thanks Nick and Thank you SBTVC. As an NYU graduate, I can say that the above discourse sums up the NYU experience about as accurately as anything.

Kid has no idea how to write. 1) Avoid the phrase “Can one…”, since it makes you sound like a pompous prick; 2) Learn to use a goddamn semi-colon (e.g. “That unity and clarity of message is basic to effective protests is just Saul Alinsky; nothing new there.); 3) Go fuck yourself
