A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.[1] As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, confabulation, dogma, illusion, or other effects of perception.:hammer:

Denial Denial is probably one of the best known defense mechanisms, used often to describe situations in which people seem unable to face reality or admit an obvious truth (i.e. "He's in denial."). Denial is an outright refusal to admit or recognize that something has occurred or is currently...

http://centerforcollegeaffordability.org/uploads/2012_Methodology.pdf http://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/list/ I'm no statistician nor have the time to help you figure out your favorite color but for the data at hand they came up with a compilation that may have a purpose. For those on the...

Fair enough. Sounds good. Tried to respond in general terms and try not to offend any specific poster but statistics are there for a reason. One can either use it to bolster their position or to relegate as useless data that tend to raise eyebrows. What I have alluded to earlier was if the...

It's just funny that a knee-jerk response from a graduate is natural but it doesn't deter the suggestion of what such list makes. There are bad and excellent teachers. One list does not reflect the bigger picture of what the ultimate goal is. Everyone chooses their affiliation and shouldn't...

If this is any indication of how it truly is which may not...

The way I look at it, rateMyProfessor.com allows a student to provide feedback(positive or negative) without fear of repercussions from the rated professor. Unlike civilian colleges where you can steer away from tenured professors that have unflattering feedback, that is not the case at a...

What's the angle on this list? http://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/list/ If the worst list is questionable, how about the flipside?

Why did you leave out that underage alcohol use is tolerated?

My parents raised me well and I have respect for authority. If you selectively cut and quote fragments of threads, you can make it appear however you like it to because it's taken out of context. You are worse than a simple playground bully. You manipulate segments of threads to nitpick and...
