#25453 Hey, if you're one of the people who hogs the washing machines and does three loads of laundry when its one of the busiest laundry days, go screw yourself. I'm sitting here with my wet laundry, waiting for a dryer that wont be available for 40 minutes because your're too much of a selfish dumbass to consider other people. Thanks for being so considerate

#25452 My roommate chews like a fucking cow. The sloppy noises of his open-mouth chewing haunt my dreams. I'm getting pretty sick of it.

#25451 I don't understand how educated college students can't understand that when you change rules the results can change. Just cause Hillary got more votes doesn't mean if the rules were changed to popular vote wins the election that she would have still won.

#25450 Did anyone ask Trump to see his e-mails? I don't think there's anything wrong with Hilary hiding it, because we all don't share everything with everyone. Also felt like that was the main argument why people didn't want her as president, she's lying because she doesn't want to show us her e-mails.
Confession: I once ate breakfast without brushing my teeth, because someone was in the bathroom and I was running out of time. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

#25449 The best thing to hold onto in life, is each other. Remember that. Remember that change begins with you. We are the change. We always have been. Be kind. Be understanding. That all begins with you. As an individual. Only when others around you see you as a positive difference maker through your actions, will they be inspired to do the same. It's a similar idea to pay it forward. Buying the Starbucks for the person behind you inline may inspire that person to do the same for whoever is behind them. Being kind to a person on the Sloop that seem like they needed it may inspire that person to reach out a helping hand to the next person they see in trouble. Don't play the blame game, take it upon yourself to be a positive force in your community. It's on you. It's on me. It's on us.

#25448 Recently came across a white nationalist/supremacy website called stormfront. Maybe a lot of you Purdue guys are members. The posts on the website reminded me of a lot of the attitudes I encountered in high school in the US and grad school at Purdue. Basically I get the feeling that the majority of white Americans are not racist but are indifferent to it (60%?). A good portion are probably against it but also extreme SJWs (20%?). A minor portion of the white population is what I'd consider white nationalists (15%) and an even lesser portion are actually white supremacists (5% tops). This is my perception growing up and living in the Midwest though.

#25447 I am an international student here and I am an Asian woman. To be honest, this election's result scared me at first, and it is deepened after hearing and seeing some hate crimes targeting women and minorities recently. But now I feel sad more than I feel scared. It really pains me to see all these riots, violence happening in this country. When people protest, some of them are breaking shop's glasses, some of them are burning American flag and waiving other flags, and some people even take this as an advantage and shooting, hurting people. Now KKK is planning to march on streets in December.
I love this country, deeply. Laugh loud if you want, but me, as a foreigner who is not born nor raised in here, came here at 17, really love this country. That's why I abandoned my comfortable life in my home country and flied 12 hours across the Pacific Ocean, just to land on a ground I had always been dreaming. It pains me when I see people in here hurting each other.
I've been following this election ever since the beginning. I support Democrats even though I can't vote. Trump's meaning words regarding women and minorities have always bothered me, and I was really surprised after I found out that many of my first generation Chinese American friends voted for him. When I asked them why did you guys support Trump, don't you worry about his attitude toward minorities? They answered:" we, as working class, have kids to raise. Democrats in here (most of them live in California)are trying to limit us Asians'access to public education(they are referring to SCA5) and we are really done with this Party robbing one minority group to feed other minorities just so they can have more votes and seats in the government."
I am not sure if what they were saying was true or not, this only makes me thinking, sometimes, people care more about their everyday living and well being than being politically correct. I read an article on Quora, it says people living in Rust Belt voting for Trump are not voting for racism, sexism, xenophobia, but voting for their jobs, their tax returns, their livings. This group of people was ignored by others but was noticed by Trump and Sanders. They don't care about gay marriage, they care about keeping their jobs in that factory.
America is a great country, but right now a lot of people in here are suffering. Someone is got to fix that and if these people believe this person should be Trump, then give Trump a chance. Do I worry about misogynists, about KKK, about white supremacists? Yes I do. But, having been living in this not-so-blue state for 5 years, I am very optimistic.Most white Americans are kind-hearted and friendly.I am not scared, because I have faith in American Constitution. Equality is always a part of it.
