When wondering whether I should microwave my icecream I ponder the reason for them putting the word "ice" in the name. I did it anyways because it makes my teeth cold if I don't, I've got a warm yogurty style gelato. Yum!
Could it possibly be? giant walls of text, no waiting 30 sec to post. Damn, blogs have graduated to the new comments section. Thanks for the comment ban, I'm now in banned camp. Now I have to "Pease make sure that the data you've provided is correct."

I, like most of you, have tried to endure what has been happening to this site since about friday 03/26/10, but this just about tops the cake. Obviously there's been some problems posting comments, but when one finally gets posted, a sigh of relief can be uttered. I have seen multiple people multi-post through no fault of their own, yet I did not. However, I recieved this lovely message on returning to this site:

White male. Those two words are rarely associated with being discriminated against or being impoverished. Is that necessarily true, though?When going to apply for financial aid, people will help find the information that is needed. "Do you have dependents?", "What is your yearly income?", "What was the highest level of education your parents have completed?" These are questions that are presented to the applicant with a neat little bubble to fill in for the appropriate choice. What is there to do when filling these forms out correctly is too difficult? Well, for non-English speakers there is help readily available. But, if a semi-well dressed white male applies then it is expected that he should already know how to complete these forms and it is assumed that he will not qualify for the aid anyway. They then become low priority. This type of profiling is no different than locking the doors to a car when seeing a dark man at night near the vehicle as is explored in Brent Staples' "Black Men and Public Space" ... Read more ...
