>seriously thats it.
That's soooooooooooooooooo much better than what I had. Honestly, I look at your list and think how lucky you were. Why oh why did my English department not care about us students...

>this is no different from American Exceptionalism
Christ, don't do that.

Turns out /lit/ is butt fucking clueless regarding Roman history. This entire thread is a perfect example of the trend of schoolboy history + transplanting modern views on empire and conquest onto past eras = Rome bad, Rome rape

Even for a mere history undergrad, this sort of thing, which I encounter all the time, is a real kick in the nuts.

I see mine interspersed with some that are good and some that are shit so I'm not sure if you're being sincere and it makes me feel BAD.

Every time /lit/ discusses asoiaf, I'm reminded how much I can hate this board. Each one of these threads is full to the brim of criticisms for these books that makes my jaw drop in disbelief. I will never comprehend how such an accessible, plot-oriented, albeit incredibly detailed work can go over the heads of so many fans/students of literary fiction. The only genuine critique that I've probably ever seen here is aimed the author's writing.

>People compliment me on my writing
>I hate it and get mad at them because I think it's bad
>Delete the file/throw away the paper
Such is my life

If only we could have this sort of intelligent, informed discourse on /pol/. Whenever Marx is brought up it's, "STOP LIVING IN YOUR PIPE DREAM UTOPIA, COMMUNISM NEVER WORKED, JUST LOOK AT RUSSIA BLAH BLAH BLAH".

I remember when trolling used to mean something...
