Chick Asks Professor To Postpone Finals, He Denies Request With Great One-Word Response
Finals season can be tough. Between juggling smashing ass and getting belligerent, you have to find time to study. It’s an added stress that can cause your mind to go crazy. In fact, some girl at Oberlin College took it upon herself to email her statistics professor in hopes of getting the final postponed for those who were traumatized by the recent events in Ferguson and New York. It didn’t take long for the professor to respond:
DENIED! Professor Raney just showed her–not in his house. Della thought she was doing something good as she struggled to learn what Bernoulli’s inequality is. She probably texted all her friends saying she was trying to get the final postponed when BAM, she got blindsided a minute later by Professor Raney with one simple word that cut to the core so beautifully.
He could have gone so many different routes with his response. Instead, he went with a swift, solitary “no.” So simple yet so productive. Get Professor Raney a medal, a beer, or something. He earned it. Well done, sir. Well done indeed..

One minute response turnaround time. 5:58 PM -> 5:59 PM. Get your liberal garbage out of here, ain’t nobody got time for that.
11 years ago at 4:13 pmNo way he read more than one sentence of that bullshit.
11 years ago at 4:35 pmSuck it nerd
11 years ago at 4:18 pmShutting down liberal idiots – RFM
11 years ago at 4:18 pmCan’t tell if she is a giant liberal pussy…..or just really going all out to try and get the final postponed…..
11 years ago at 4:20 pmProbably both.
11 years ago at 4:30 pmShould’ve just said grandma died.
11 years ago at 4:23 pmJaime, I’m sure you can thing of a person or two who died recently as an excuse.
11 years ago at 1:19 amOberlin College is one of the most liberal colleges in the country. This shit doesn’t surprise me one bit. That place is full of fucked up liberal whack jobs.
11 years ago at 4:24 pmOberlin is where Lena Dunham went to school. That pretty much says it all.
11 years ago at 4:52 pmMy buddy’s younger brother is almost as right side as can be politically and is going there next year. He’s gonna be in for a good time
11 years ago at 6:38 pmhow DARE she compare michael brown/eric garnder situations to 9/11 or newtown.
11 years ago at 4:27 pmHello cousin!!!
11 years ago at 4:55 pm^ I appreciate this more than I should
11 years ago at 5:11 pmwhere were you at thanksgiving?
11 years ago at 10:52 amFor some reason, blacks seem to be under the impression that a cop going overboard when threatened by a man who had just robbed a convenience store is equivalent to the murder of 30 kindergardeners or the worst terrorist attack in history. Get over yourselves. Your perceived “race war” is over. You’ve got your rights. Now go make something of yourselves instead of sitting at home, collecting Obama checks and complaining about “injustice.”
11 years ago at 6:14 pmSee its statements like this that really piss me off. Don’t categorize me into some bullshit made up generalization based off an email a white chick wrote. For your information I’m a black man who does not think that the Michael Brown or Eric Garner are the equivalent of Newtown or 9/11. I work my ass off to get through school, pay my dues, rent, and whatever ever else may come. I nor my family have ever received these so called “Obama checks” that you talk about. I don’t know anyone who has received these so called “Obama checks”. So please explain to me what these “Obama checks” are because if you’re talking about welfare checks, then only 30% of welfare recipients are black. If you’re talking about food stamps then only 33% are black. Please get educated because you sound like an ignorant prejudice asshole that doesn’t know anything regarding social issues.
11 years ago at 8:14 pmGo get your welfare check pussy
11 years ago at 8:28 pmSorry to inform you big guy but I’m not on welfare nor food stamps and I plan on never needing it. Thanks for looking out though
11 years ago at 9:21 pmOnly 33% of food stamp recipients are black? Well only 14% of America is black so what does that say? Also, in 2008 and 2012 Obama received 98 and 93% of the black vote, so thanks for that. Look, I’m not talking about you specifically. My anger is directed toward a large percentage of blacks in this country (as well as white liberals) who feel the need to classify everything as “racist” or “sexist”. Maybe (and this is gonna come across as racist), if blacks weren’t statistically proven to be more likely to commit violent crimes, police wouldn’t be stereotyping against them. Food for thought.
11 years ago at 8:31 pmI didn’t vote for him so I don’t point your finger at me for his bullshit. I don’t like the Big O, never did never will. Now on to your statistics. What that says is that yes theres a lot blacks on food stamps and welfare, theres a lot of whites on welfare and food stamps, theres a lot of latinos on welfare and food stamps, etc, etc. Lets stop having a bitch fit (whites and blacks) about who’s on there and lets figure out how were gonna stop this and get these people off these services so they can provide for themselves. As far as the statistic regarding violence. Thats not racist. Its a statistic backed by facts. Now on to the meat of this. Many people have the notation that race is a causation for violence. That is not true. It is a correlation, the real causation for violence is poverty. The more poor you are the more likely you are to commit crimes, and since blacks make up the most coming out to 25% (most recent data I could find was from 2011). That is why blacks are statistically more likely to commit violent crimes.
11 years ago at 9:05 pmI’ve got an idea of how to get people off food stamps and welfare: abolish the programs. If you need money go get a job. If you are unable to work, then apply for one of the other dozens of programs that deal with that. And I am by no means saying that race is a causation for violence; I’m simply pointing out there is a little truth to the generalizations.
11 years ago at 9:40 pmTHIS. One of the biggest problems that we face as a country is the fact that 1/3rd of the population doesn’t work. But they still eat every day. Call me old fashioned but I’m of the belief that if you don’t work, you don’t eat.
11 years ago at 9:42 pmAnd stop complaining about minimum wage. If you’re smarter/better educated/ more qualified you deserve to be payed more. Funniest thing ever was when I had a gay kid in my class who told our professor he was being “ableist”. The man just stood there and asked him “Does that mean I believe ‘able’ people are better? Cause you’re damn right I do.”
11 years ago at 9:49 pmBesides, simple economics would tell you that raising the minimum wage will only result in all the prices for shit poor people buy being raised. But econ never has been the strong-suit of liberals.
Bingo. The reason poor people stay poor is because of their bad decision making. They’re in debt their whole life and can’t retire when they need to. If you’re poor and you invest just $100 a month into a good growth mutual fund (growing at an average rate of 12%) from the time you’re 25 to 70 you can retire with $1.8 million. If you’re lower middle class and do the same with $500 a month from the time you’re 30 to 65, you can retire with $2.9 million. It’s really not that hard, you just gotta try and educated yourself.
11 years ago at 9:57 pmExactly, and you don’t even have to make a huge difference yourself. If you were unable to graduate from HS because your family needed you to get a job and bring in money, then it’s not your fault. But instead of accepting your poverty and just doing enough to keep yourself alive, put in the extra work so that your kids can graduate HS and get a slightly better job than you had. Maybe then their kids can go to a CC, and so on and so on.
Jesus Christ, people, THIS IS AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE. If you’re willing to work hard enough to better yourself, you will.
Side note: to the women who pull the 77% pay bullshit:
11 years ago at 10:06 pmIf it were true that women do the same jobs as men for 77% the cost, don’t you think every company would be scrambling to hire women?
I don’t disagree with investing, but please show me a mutual or index fund that has a stable 12% return over 45 years.
11 years ago at 11:27 pmThe point isn’t the exact rate of return, it’s the having skin in the game. If you get a return of 12% or 7% you’re still doing better than if you hadn’t invested at all.
11 years ago at 11:38 pmBut go to your parent’s investment banker and I’m sure they can easily show you some with that kind of return.
11 years ago at 11:41 pmInvestment bankers do not work with the stock markets from an investing stand point. Their only interactions with the stock market is helping companies go public. I bankers structure M&A activity and raise capital for companies. Quite frankly there is no reason to trust an I banker’s investment advice.
11 years ago at 5:08 pm“Bad decision making”. Comical statement.
The problem with most of the pseudo-Republican crowd on TFM is that many of y’all are truly naive to the financial struggles that many poor people are faced with. Simply put: your parents pay for all your shit, and you lack ANY experience associated with growing up in a poor ass family, and having canned soup as your meal one or two nights a week.
My two roommates are real similar to you, and SorrySir. They think they have all the answers to poverty by cutting social programs, and telling people “just get a job” hurr durr. The ironic part is that neither of the two pay ANY of their own bills – their parents pay for, literally, everything. Rent, all forms of insurance, medical care, cell phone, school, utility bills, e.t.c. Realistically, the two of them are no different than any welfare mooch. They just have a wealthy family that is able to support these costs. For the record, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Granted, I do find it funny that many, if not most, young Republicans don’t really know the meaning of “hard work”. That’s great if you have that opportunity, but the majority of the population has to get full-time jobs out of high school.
Social programs are here for a reason. History has shown that without them, we’d have hoards of people living on the streets. I’ll reference the American and British Industrial Revolutions, here.
Someone making minimum wage cannot possibly “better themselves” via higher education. It’s impossible without government provided aide. Where in the hell wold they get the money to do that, if they’re just making enough to pay bills?
Welfare and government subsidies are definitely abused by many people, but so are corporate tax laws. The first contributes to a nanny state, while the second just pads the pockets of the ultra wealthy. The class difference in the United States has grown to its largest level since the Great Depression – coincidentally, also the last time Republicans had a majority in Congress, which they do currently. The problem isn’t going to get better by cutting social programs, cutting taxes, and telling people to “get jobs”.
This was proven with Reagan’s economic failures, and is showing itself again in heavy Republican states.
11 years ago at 10:37 amA. The difference between riding your parents’ wealth and mooching from the gov’t is that your parents are willingly paying for your stuff, whereas if you’re mooching you are getting that money from taxpayers who I’m sure would rather not pay for your shit.
B. I didn’t say it was easy to rise out of poverty, I just said that this is America, so everyone has the ability to move up with hard work. You would be hard-pressed to find a rich person in the US whose family was not a some point poor.
C. You cited the Industrial Revolution as the time of great poverty. Interesting how it was also by far the most prosperous time for economic growth in our country.
D. The last time Republicans controlled both houses of Congress was 2006, but good try.
E. The “Republicans” that controlled Congress in the early 1900s were nothing like the GOP of today. By the1960s the parties had sorta flipped sides because all the southerners (who were entirely blue in every election) were against all the civil rights stuff. See: 1948 DNC, formation of Dixiecrat Party, etc.
11 years ago at 11:58 amA.- You’re kicking a dead horse with this one because I already said there’s no problem with wealthy families. To say anything otherwise should be treasonous. What you completely decided to ignore, however, is my original point regarding people like yourself. You like to point fingers at poor people on welfare, but when you’re leeching off your parents, you really have NO standing to say otherwise.
B.- Blanket statement that makes up a very small percentage of wealthy families.
C.- You should do some more research on the quality of living during that time. And no, citing the Heritage Foundation doesn’t count.
D. – They controlled the House, chief. At least know your history before trying to hurl insults.
E. – Wrong again. FDR and the New Deal in 1936 is when the great swap occurred. This is after the Great Depression, of course.
Troy – Chug bleach. It’s a shame your mom didn’t swallow you.
JerryJones – I’d run circles around you dolts. I do this shit for a living my man. Political consulting, Public affairs, and Marketing. Come at me.
11 years ago at 7:10 pmCorrection: I was wrong about the Republican majority. I stand corrected.
That said, the 109th Congress is considered to be one of the worst in history. So There’s that.
11 years ago at 7:19 pmYeah that’s why the Republicans took over the Senate. So there’s that.
11 years ago at 9:29 amYour mom offered to swallow me, but I don’t fuck around with the help.
You must not be very good at those jobs you listed. Considering you’re trolling a college site comment section complaining about the lives of deadbeats.
Seriously this isn’t brobible. Most of us come from weathly backgrounds and understand that successful people, especially those in either: marketing, public affairs or consulting wont be spending their free time arguing with college guys who are currently on Christmas break. Nice try. Go back to fifa on xbox live.
“Come at me?” Seriously? Did you write that? Haha you’re a scrub who watches too much Mtv.
11 years ago at 8:25 pmPassing out fliers for Mary Landrieu doesn’t make you a political consultant, champ.
11 years ago at 9:16 pmGo fuck off with you’re deadbeat liberal poor people “need excuses” guilt-trip bullshit. Poor people continue to face poverty because they continue to have children while being poor. Poor people make dumb decisions. Which is why they continue to have children,as well as face drug and alcohol problems.
Bullshit fucking welfare programs make it just comfortable enough to continue the deadbeat life-cycle. Maybe if there we’re more books instead of guns and gangs in “da hood,” we would see more people make it out of poverty.
Not to mention, black culture makes it, not only acceptable, but cool to grow up in “da streetz.” Like it or not poor people make their own choices.
Its funny to hear how bad the poors have it, all the while being surrounded with all the sex, drugs, alcohol and rap music they get their hands on. Why don’t they spend their money wiser? Oh yeah its not theyre fault –its the white Republicans fault.
There is a difference between kids parents paying for their children and mooching off of the governemnts tit. Wealthy families are not a liability to anyone unlike the poor families who have children. Other people have to pay for poor families kids–not the wealthy ones.
Wealthy families should be celebrated. They’re not a liability to anyone and they have kids they can afford. If you cannot afford to have kids, then don’t have kids. You can thank wealthy Americans for picking up the tab for your welfare state. Considerings poor people will never take accountability for their lives and continue to blame evil white people. Cause ya- know that’s easier. Poor people taking the easy way out? Seems to be a pattern for the poors.
11 years ago at 12:49 pmI wish we had the forum back so we could have these debates and eviscerate our democrat buddy benito. Here it just got too messy.
11 years ago at 12:55 pmWhen did I talk about minimum wage?
11 years ago at 9:59 pm“If you’re smarter/better educated/ more qualified you deserve to be payed more.” Lambasting the less educated when you have spelling/grammatical deficiencies. RFM?
11 years ago at 1:17 amWhere are you getting that 1/3 of the country doesn’t work? its high but its not that high (thankfully)
11 years ago at 10:40 pmHere: http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/18/news/economy/other-unemployment-rate/
11 years ago at 10:47 pmThis is exactly Barry-O and the dems fault. Thanks to more relief to the very poor and unemployed, as well as tax increases on job creators, more people than ever aren’t even looking for a job.
And yet Obama still has the nerve to try to take credit for “lower unemployment rates?” #765MoreDays
11 years ago at 11:00 pmI detest Obama, but he did not invent these problems. They have been boiling up for decades. If you can bring yourself to look objectively at the country’s economics, you will see that tax relief for so-called job creators has not really increased the number of jobs available. One of the issues is automation. Robots do jobs that were formerly done by people. And the decline in support for basic education has produced a generation of people who can’t read, write, spell, or make change. They did not bring this on themselves. We did, and it has happened during every administration since Clinton.
11 years ago at 2:09 amThanks Jerry, that article was a good read and reflective. However, it did at least admit that 60% of the 1/3 not-working were over 65 or under 25. Many 18-25 year olds will be in college or some sort of post graduate school, even more so nowadays when it seems like almost any idiot can get into college (which pisses me off, don’t get me started). I’m assuming (but hoping I’m wrong) that ‘job’ doesn’t include part-time job, such as myself, currently a GA in law school. Which would mean some % of that 1/3 actually are working at least part time. Maybe that is me being optimistic.
11 years ago at 1:57 amBeecher1843: If you are going to make it in law, learn to write coherently. Your post contains many grammatical errors. When you write briefs to be read by federal judges, you had better be able to write standard English without mistakes in syntax such as you have demonstrated.
I get what you are saying however. If there were jobs available, many more of the not-working would be working.
11 years ago at 2:18 amThanks for the advice Ass, but I think I realize a case brief if a little more important than commenting on an in-formal website.
11 years ago at 9:44 amAlso, fuck me I really am just heavy on the typo-s today aren’t I?
11 years ago at 10:31 amIt’s actually around 42% (unfortunately)
11 years ago at 12:02 pmThe problem IS, that there are no jobs for lots of people who really want to work. One of my older friends, an engineer, was laid off from Northrop 9 months ago and still cannot find a job, although he searches every day. He is not on food stamps yet but may be soon. Try to have a little understanding of what people face when they are unemployed. They are not all deadbeats. Some of them have kids. Do you want kids to go hungry because there are no jobs for the parents?
11 years ago at 2:01 amI’m white and now, pretty well off. If my mom hadn’t received the checks from the program which you and TFMSorrySir seem to be so opposed to, I would have ended up hungry a lot more often than I did. We had to work our way out of that hole to get to where we are now.
The root cause of the problem is not the programs. Nor is it in the liberal politicians up in Washington. The problem is the culture.
11 years ago at 10:04 amPersonally I’m all for it.
11 years ago at 9:58 pmThe placement of my replies are fucking the order of what i was saying. In short I’m all for eliminating food stamps and welfare, and I never talked about minimum wage.
11 years ago at 10:01 pmNo you’re not. Good try though
11 years ago at 10:11 pmOh I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna fuck her. Fuck her right in the pussy. #FHRITP
11 years ago at 10:24 pmWhatever you say champ
11 years ago at 11:36 pmThey removed your gif and now it just looks like I’m contradicting myself.
11 years ago at 5:04 pmI only read 3/5ths of your comment before lapping you.
11 years ago at 8:37 pmNow this is racist.
11 years ago at 9:06 pmWhatcha talkin’ bout willis?
11 years ago at 9:09 pmLol. I’m white, and I love this. Not because you’re a black person working to better hisself – that’s my expectation of every human being and patronizing African Americans by saying things like “oh you have a job? Good for you” as some whites do is absolutely ridiculous and outdated – but because you actually are one of the few I’ve seen talk about it that understands it’s not a race war.
11 years ago at 9:10 pmGood for hisself
11 years ago at 9:41 pmIt’s the right word you ass clown.

11 years ago at 1:15 amHave you tried checking your Obama phone for the welfare checks app? I hear all the Ferguson protesters received one for partaking in the “Ferguson Market & Liquor” blowout sale! Seriously stop making excuses for crime, guy was a goddamn thug.
11 years ago at 10:38 pmI never said Mike Brown wasn’t a thug. I never said what I thought on the subject. I barely even touched on the topic. Where the hell are you getting this argument from?
11 years ago at 11:35 pmYet they only make up 12% of the populations. There seems to be some dead weight.
11 years ago at 11:52 pmYou must be new around here, brother. lol
11 years ago at 1:12 amDey took our jobs!!!!!
11 years ago at 2:25 amI thought they weren’t interested in jobs?
11 years ago at 2:44 pmDoooooooooon’t Careeeeeeeeee
11 years ago at 4:27 pm“Blacks”? I’m sorry but I have to say that 1. I’m black and think people protesting and generalizing all of these cases as race issues, instead of simply police brutality issues, is ignorant and stupid. 2. A large percentage of the protestors are white, Hispanic, etc.
11 years ago at 9:57 pmThat’s what you got out of this? That I said blacks? I could just as easily have said liberals, that wasn’t the point.
11 years ago at 10:09 pmSo you admit that your point was to make a racist generalization of blacks?
11 years ago at 1:11 amYou missed the bigger point of this argument
11 years ago at 10:17 pmDey’s is shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich…
11 years ago at 11:31 pmNo watermelons?
11 years ago at 1:16 amHave you ever seen Forrest Gump?
11 years ago at 4:57 amPoor white’s get no credit for protesting. That damn white privilege.
11 years ago at 4:25 pmthis is not about the real issue of the US rapidly turning into a police state but instead about a good excuse to cause chaos.
11 years ago at 12:04 amHere’s the best advice for our darker brothers.
11 years ago at 7:46 amI can’t decide if the Columbia Law students who got their finals postponed are going to be terrible lawyers because they’re pussies, or amazing lawyers because they BS’ed their professors into postponing finals.
11 years ago at 4:28 pmEven more frightening is the prospect that the students didn’t even have to ask for the postponement. The faculty were so distraught because of our country’s terrible racism that they could not possibly have administered the exams because their tears would have caused the ScanTrons to float away.
Few law students ever become good lawyers. Most of them occupy drone jobs in government or firms where they never make partner and continue to exist as drones, or they find a nest in a corporation as house counsel, the most secure and intellectually non-challenging job of all.
If you’re in law school and you have balls, become a trial lawyer. There you risk getting your balls ripped off and fed to you every time you go to court. If you have no balls, go for the USDA and work on problems with milk subsidies.
