Please share some of the dumbest takes you’ve heard from that’s experience! It sounds rife with humor potential.
I won’t tell on the first years because university is a time where you can have dumb takes and be forgiven as long as you learn from them.
Instead I will tell you about the time I was sued by a sov cit who filed a petition they wrote themselves. It laboriously detailed all the ways in which “I” (he had the wrong person) violated his constitutional rights - how I trampled on his freedom of speech, denied him a fair hearing, seized his property, etc etc - all with detailed references to the US constitution. The problem? We were not in the US, none of the stuff at dispute was in the US, and neither of us were American anyway. Dude straight up did his own research on a different legal system and just assumed it would apply where we were.
You don’t have to give names, but I respect your decision to refrain from dunking on actual children. As humor depriving as it may be.
SovCits are so fucking funny, especially the ones who go around trolling cops and suing them when they get beat after finally finding a soft spot or just being persistent enough to wear down the self control.
I have to ask, is this an Anglo nation (not asking which, just if). Because this would so much funnier if some dude in like, Belgium or something, did that. How? Like Fr, confused by the phrase international law and its confluence with Yankee hegemony?
dunking on actual children
You know this is a good loophole. I’m gonna tell you about the time an older student (at least in his mid 30s) argued with the professor for about 5 mins in class about what the author of the assigned reading actually meant to say. The professor, to his credit, tried his best to explain in plain English terms what the article meant but the student just wanted to argue. In the end the professor goes “Okay, look at the article. Now look at the author’s name. Okay, now look at your syllabus and look at my name.”
Student dude immediately said “sorry” and sat the fuck down. He had been arguing with the professor over the professor’s article all along.
I have to ask, is this an Anglo nation
This was an Anglo nation but it would surprise a lot of people to know that many Anglo nations don’t have a written constitution or bill of rights.
