How would you rank the ivies?

A good education should include humility. You didn't get one.

Yes, I am reminded that "mal educado" (in Spanish, literally "badly educated") is used to indicate bad manners.

Most Cornell defenders probably don’t have jobs that require them to be around other Ivy Leaguers from elite schools. So they have their Cornell friends they text and convince each other they are widely admired by their non-elite peers. And they just might be! So while it doesn’t let them off the hook, it does explain why these folks are living in their own little bubble.

I'm sure the Harvard community is proud to have an alum (or imposter) representing Harvard so well here.

"Sarchasm" it's the chasm or gap between the author of intended irony and the person who just doesn't get it.

Stay focused. This isn’t about me, grammar, punctuation, or Harvard. It’s about ranking Ivy League schools. Cornell is among the worst and it’s grads can’t accept that.

The evidence on this thread overwhelmingly supports that thesis. To the point where even attempts to defend Cornell only condemn it.

Sorry, but you only impress negatively and you exemplify how Harvard - if indeed you attended - failed to instill habits in you that reveal a good education. Further, you come across as an obsessive-compulsive enema nurse, only less smart.

That’s totally besides the point. The OP didn’t ask how smart and classy Rebuttal Jones is. My personal shortcomings have no bearing on where Cornell ranks among the Ivies.

It ranks at the bottom. Post after post after post has reinforced that position.

Ummm, the OP asked: How would you rank the ivies? We know how you rank at least one of them. For about the 100th time. Please stop posting.

"Butthead Jones" is more fitting.

What pathology causes someone behave as Jones has? Did his wife leave him? Unable to find a wife? Enlargement pills failed to kick in? Taking revenge on a certain, er um, entity that did not make him an offer? Feelings of inadequacy, intellectual and otherwise? Underachievement?

I have an iron will forged by an elite institution of higher learning.

The OP will recognize the strength of character provided by a top school vs the increasingly desperate personal attacks meant to distract from the issue at hand: that Cornell is a bad Ivy.

OK - I cannot believe I've trolled this well for so long. Yeah, I suppose it was my failure to form a good argument in addition to the bungled English that betrayed me. No, I was never a Harvard student; I suppose it is fair to say I am an under-achiever; and, no, I truly know little about how to properly rank schools.

Kudos - hey, there's a word people at Harvard may use that not many others do - to those who called me out! And I take back all those bad things I said about other schools.

Glad to read. You had me going. Otherwise you came across as a huge d*uche.

Yeah, I never was very good at English. And I'm not too quick on the uptake - learning or applying what I'm supposed to learn. My repeatedly bungling its and it's is not something you would expect from someone boasting about his HaHvaHd edycashun, heh heh. I won't say anything about my true educational or career history.

Well, its not the first time i've been called that... closer to the thousandth time. But my OCD is a legit excuse.

And not only am I OCD, but I'm morphing into one of those Walmart fatties put-put-putting around on those scooters for the disabled. I truly ought to do something, but I get obsessed by so many things that distract me from my behavior.

You aren't the fake bomb plot guy I hope:

The real Rebuttal Jones never apologizes unless he was wrong, does not resort to personal attacks, always gets the last word, and most importantly NEVER stays off topic too long.

Cornell is a bottom feeder Ivy.

PS - Rebuttal Jones will use any variation of the username. So copy it all you want. The hallmarks of a Rebuttal Jones post will be clear.

The Unabomber injured a Yale professor with one of his exploding letters. what is it with Harvard folks attacking people at other universities?
