The subtlety of your grammar and spelling mistakes needs refinement, but is reasonably inciting so I'll give it a passing grade.

Where you really need to work harder is your general sentence structure. Abominations like:

I think it is more snobby and trying to be english than smart in trinity.

.. should be improved as:

Do you think that Trinity students have a West-Brit complex?

Remember that you're trying to stir up an argument as opposed to immediately engage in one directly.

TCD needs to introduce a BA (Hons) in Trolling so that people can get the quality of education they desire and clearly need in the subject of their choice.

As a former resident of my old rooms in Trinity once said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."
But, c'mon. Really? You're not even trying.
You've previously offered up gems like homos are all paedos and the women on the slutwalk are too ugly to worry about being raped. Simple, straight down the line trolling, unimaginative and blunt, but offensive in the fora where they were made, and hence effective.
But there's just something about TCD that seems to sap your mojo, isn't there? Your contribution to the thread on the banner over front arch was positively lacking in trollervescence, and now this.
I have to say, I feel cheated. Am I not worth at least the same effort as the gays and the slutwalking ladies?

I don't know about your friends but we definitely think we're smarter than you.

The money argument is the stupidest argument I've ever heard.
It costs the exact same to go to Trinity as it does to go to UCD, UL, NUIG, NUIM, UCC and the big ITs.
An argument used by idiots with no real reason to dislike tcd other than the fact that its cool to.

It's actually cheaper to go to TCD than UCD! The students union/services charges are lower in TCD - we pay €85 on top of the €2000, they pay €158.

And TCD doesn't have that weird smell. You know, that smell that UCD has.

You know, the smell.

As a TCD student I demand a better quality troll.

Opinion on this matter is ALWAYS going to be biased. For full disclosure I'm a TCD student myself.

What you need to look at is a number of criteria and average it all out.

First look at the Leaving Cert points required for the courses. I'm not 100% sure but I think that TCD has (on average) the highest points of all colleges. Whichever college has that has the best students as they start.

LC points aren't a very good way of testing intelligence but it's the best we've got.

Next you'd probably look at the World University rankings.

All of these show TCD as being the best university in Ireland, usually with a very large lead over UCD and others. Again their methods are subject to some scrutiny but their tables are well respected and it would suggest that not only does TCD take in some of the best students but that they're then also kept to a high academic standard.

Finally, you'd also want to factor in things like employability, maybe IQ and any other factors.

I don't think there are figures on any of these so we can't take them into account.


So with LC points and Rankings it does show TCD as the smartest but more evidence might contradict that.

Even though I meant it as a joke, that was exactly the smell that came to mind when I was typing.

Matt23,

You have made an excellent point. In fact, you are the voice of reason I have been craning to hear. A true prophet of our generation. You have made me realise the last 3 years and 3 weeks have been a complete waste of my time. I am here by dropping out of the scorned university and dedicating my life to making sure I meet the desired requirements of "all of dublin". Hopefully, I will soon feel that sense of accomplishment and self-satisfaction that you obviously have.
I would appreciate any suggestions you could offer me, in this the defining hour of my life? I've already collected many Dutch Gold cans and been practising spitting on the pathway. I crave further guidance as I do not trust my own instincts, which have not served me well thus far.

Yours gratefully,

StrawberryJazz
