My apologies to net.movie readers who are not interested. From uw-beaver!tektronix!tekecs!orca!andrew Sun Jul 24 19:26:02 1983 Subject: Re: Jaws 3-D: A Warning Newsgroups: net.movies So uw-june!eli finished viewing the movie that he/she paid for, then committed petty larceny by sneaking into the adjoining theater to watch another movie without bothering to purchase a ticket, and then had the gall to brag about it to thousands of netnews readers, and pan the movie to boot. Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this? "uw-june" is a site at the University of Washington. The most charitable assumption I can make is that this is a student who hasn't yet developed a sense of right and wrong. -- Andrew Klossner (decvax!teklabs!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (andrew.tektronix@rand-relay) [ARPA] What am I (a "student" since kindergarten, making it the last 20 years of my life) supposed to make of this last line? Is this an implication that "students" form some kind of moral lower-class? Does Mr. Klossener view all academics as some kind of scum, or does he reserve his elevated scorn for graduate students? I guess I become God when I receive my Ph.D, is that correct? Or perhaps only those who have happily escaped from education entirely can develop working moral and ethical standards.
