Hey, at least you can read, you have a step up on most McDonalds employees, heck, you could be a shift supervisor one day if you work hard! :rawk: :nana2:
 
****, the UND forums on JC has the pussiest of people bitching about us complainers. Get the hell out and don't read it if it offends you. Doug put these forums up not so this board can be an advertising firm for UND. Who the ****'s paying us, or Doug for that matter, to advertise good stuff for UND? We give our input of the school. Don't like it? Don't read it. Get the **** out. It's cake.

This is classic, the whiner complaining about the people, complaining about him. It's a vicious circle!

Gracias senor. How's stuff been goin with you Grant, workin hard?

As for those bitching about ND. I'll admit this is one of the least favorite places I've lived in my life. I used to complain about it a lot too, but I've found it gets a lot better if you get yourself a good group of friends and find stuff to do. Yeah there are some big nerds here in the aviation program, but a good majority dont have the arrogance that I often see in this forum. A lot of the people who post here seem to think they're better than everybody else for some reason...but they're the ones who spend hours posting stupid s**t in this forum. Do you really expect UND's marketing to say "it gets freezing ass cold here in the winter. There's not a whole lot to do except drink and go to hockey games, so please bring a spare liver". Its a good school, and though sometimes it doesn't seem like it, time spent here is worth it. If you dont like it here, then go somewhere else. Some of you are complaining about the costs of moving...but dont tell me someone who lives in legacy, has some bigass LCD projector and drives a pretty decent car can't afford to save up for a while and relocate.

I bet you waited in line for Star Wars and camped out and went to the burger king across the street because they had the star wars giveaways.

Heck ya I waited in line for StarWars! Greatest 6 movies ever made, but the Burger King giveaways were cheap, I like my action figures with a little more gusto!

living somewhere ELSE where wages dont SUCK: saving up to relocate not prohibitively difficult


living here where wages BLOW MAD D1CK and trying to save for ANYTHING: next to impossible.
 
Ok, GF may be boring, but like anything, it is what you make of it. Instead of waiting for people to respond to your complaints on JC try thinking of something to do. That would be more constructive than trying to think of comebacks or insults. Sorry guys (DJ and Angel) but this whole "competition" thing is getting lame. I'd much rather read funny stuff or interesting stuff even something aviation related once and a while :-O

There is no room for positive attitude and forward thinking here, be gone with you. I bannish you to two semesters of 0630 launches! :nana2:
 
I more the neutral type, agree theres nothng in GFK, I choose to come here, so I dont B1tch. I make the most of it meet a lot of great people a lot which are from this forum, or I we got them into this. I am involved in SAMA, eAA, APO whcih does community service projects arond GFK. Im taking 16 credits, and currently waiting for an alternate position as an RA.....I meet cool people from all over the country, world, state whatever....here at ND, cant complain about that. my philosophy is work hard on weekdays , party hard on weekends, and go home whenever you can and it shouldnt be too bad, though it can still be depressing. comments? arguments? critisizms? though its funny to talka bout this place and people somtimes :P

On a serious note. I come across as an ass on here because of the attitudes, and I realize that is a contradiction in itself. I grew up in small town ND, went to both UND and NDSU, (turned down a full ride to ASU and ERAU). While ND is not the most glamorous place in the world, it is home to me, and about 600,000 other hard working, honest people. I spent 3 years at UND as a student, and 3 years as an instructor. I like to think I did my part to make UND Aero a good place to go to school and I'm fairly sure everyone of my students, stage checkeees, and such would say the same. But to come here, see a forum for just UND and think great some place to catch up with old students, friends, etc and all I see is whining and moaning about nothing, yup it irks me. Am I going to change these attitudes, nope, not in the least, life will straighten them out on it's own. It is one thing to not like where you are and mumble and grumble about, we have all been there done that, got the tee shirt. But to moan and groan so much that leads, instructors and student services people know you by name, thats something else. If it is so ungodly horrible, don't let the door hit you on the ass, on the way out.

I cringe everytime I have to do a LAX or PDX trip. These people, to me, are snobs, could care less about you, do not do their jobs well, etc. BUT, I don't complain, I say hello, good day, thank you, good bye, etc, tip the van driver that was 20 minutes late picking us up, tip the maids that try to burst into the room at 1 in the afternoon while we are sleeping, on and on and on.

If it were just some college kids blowing off steam, I can see that, but these guys making the most noise, are going to be professional pilots here fairly shortly and these kind of "entitlement" attitudes, distain for rules and authority, do not go away very quickly, not who I want to be sharing the sky with, or have controlling me in and out of EWR's airspace.

I guess I take this kind of stuff about UND and ND a bit personnaly as Im sure you would if it was your home state and town, and it is not so much the complaining, I get that, it's the thought process that being from Cali, or NYC or a foreign country makes you better than other people. UND is offering a great oppurtunity and opens doors earlier in this career field than any other aero program, hands down. You would think there would be a bit more pride and appreciation for those that laid that ground work for the current students.

College is about, making friends, drinking way too much beer in relation to the distance to the nearest bathroom, nailing dorm furniture to the ceiling, etc. You came to the school for two reasons, a good education and to have fun, UND offers both, if you are willing to think outside the box and broaden your horizons. Sitting around pissing and moaning about snow, simplot, (find something original like one of the school colors being pink!) doesn't seem too fun to me, but riding the snocat trails up and down the I29 corridor, or ice fishing (don't have the fire directly on the ice!) etc does. It is there, its not what the big cities offer, but it is there and it is every bit as fun, especially with a large group of people, 10 cases of Bud ice, 30 inner tubes and nothing but a Saturday afternoon to float away with...

Hey! It's called a budget. What other beer can you get for mass quatity and little price, of coures there is a reason for that, and thus the importance of only drinking it when surrounded by a large body of water!

I know what your saying. Sure personally, I'm not a fan of Grand Forks, but I do understand that people do live here by choice. And by constantly making fun of it would make several people angry. I choose to live in Seattle. Poeple don't like it there either & I wouldn't want them bashing it constantly. I think that we should lay off the constant irritations of grand forks bashing. Or leave that for our personal lives outside of JC.

Yeah I think I've done my share of GF bashing. Hehe... no more of it for now on. I think I'm preaching to the choir when someone makes a negative opinion about this place... I shall not waste my breath.

Lately I've been enjoying living here. The nice weather (so far this month), cool thunderstorms (which I love to watch), autocrossing, biking, golfing, jogging, road trips, etcetera are things I look forward to in Spring and Summer...it helps make this place a bit more livable.

I'll give it to ya, the winters suck if you don't like the cold, and if you didn't grow up with it, you won't be used to it. Just like I can not stand the heat, even on the beach, if it is over 80 I am miserable.

Jason, you like motocross, try snowmobiling in the winter. Plenty of places you can rent good sleds from. Just invest in some nuclear powered thermal underwear and a good pair of mittens, because 20 F at 60 MPH is down right cold.
