Title: Ghost Writers.....The plot continues
Post by: Determinator on September 19, 2009, 05:38:15 AM
Okay, Bob (claims) to have penned each and every word (or as near as dammit) of 'his' articles that have appeared in flex magazine.
Moreover, moderator Ron claims that the articles (allegedly) 'written' by the *pros* are legit:

Okay, we have all heard Ronnie Colemn speak in 'real life.' Not the brightest spark.

Consider an extract from 'his' article, concerning the squat in a previous flex magazine:

"The lower you squat, though, the more the stress is transfered to your lower quads and hamstrings, activating your vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and the vast array of hamstring muscles, such as the semitendinosus and biceps femoris." (Coleman, R [or otherwise!]. Dec 2001: pp 20, Flex magazine. Weider Publishing Ltd.)

Are you trying to tell me that this is a legit article, written by the (alledged) author, given his 'real life' articulation?

The editors are not going to print it word for word, they take what was written and make it easier to read.

What, they took the likes of ''youz all, youz squats and allz, and do morz youz all"   from Ronnie and made it into an 'easier, degree-type read' that was clearly just his words polished up  :-\

Ronnie Coleman graduated magna cum laude from GSU with a degree in accounting.  If you speak with him he's a lot smarter than most people realize. 

The reason he talks that way is because he's from Louisiana...... ::)

Ronnie is no dummy.

But I would bet the rent check he didn't use the word "semitendinosus"

I really don't think people realize but Ronnie has so many hands in different things to make money.  He's even running a network marketing business, Lifewave

He's getting paid, that's for sure

Once again this issue is a "red herring" , in my opinion.
I rarely hear anyone complain about the outright fraud in many pro endorsed supplement ads.

Ronnie isn't dumb at all, he's just a good ole' southern country boy.  But there is definitely some editing of those articles   ;D

Yeah and grambling is one of those universities for blacks.  There at grambling they dumb everything down so much it makes it impossible for the blacks to fail out and they get a 'degree' so they can be competitive in the workplace and claim discrimination when they dont get a good job.

nah....i took some courses here at our blackuversity in Maryland ( Prince Georges comm college)

C++ >  cause my dumbass took pascal, C++ and fotran all in the same semister at UMCP(thanx to my great advisors >:(  ) and had to retake C++ at PGCC......least to say...the professor damn near did our assignments for us....

a few history electives > which i knew if i took at UMCP i'd actually have to work at  :-\  ....again....i pretty much Aced my class cause i wrote " entertainingly "  let alone my work ws mostly devoid of history


just like i expect courses at MIT to be MUCH tougher than UMCP or just regular UMCP honors courses to be MUCH tougher than regular courses....classes at minority schools ARE much easier..

the major universities have minority quotas to fill..and these quotas are transfer students from minority schools...

hmmmmm...I went to College Park as well.  PGCC is not the local black unitversity.  It's a community college.  It just happens to serve a minority population.  you have yet to point me to anything which indicates that black universities dumb down their course work.

so, surely there must be a study out there that shows that these schools dumb down their curriculum if this is so widely known and accepted.

did i say that?  i simply asked you to prove that black universities dumbed down their curriculum as opposed to other schools.  i haven't taken a position either way.  i would just like you to back up what you say.  if you can't, then just say so. its ok and and we won't think any less of you.

full seme+ster preview...pfft...like taking pascal...fotran...anatom y chem i had time to hardly go...

besides...the professors answered every question with " the answer is in the book"  C++ is UMCPs weed out course for the comp sci program and its tough....

at PGCC the professors damn near did the projects for us...

at UMCP the C++ course...most people have to take it 2ice before the get close to an A..the professor came into class and said on day 1 " i only hand out 4 As in this class and most of you are going to fail, so this is your chance to leave"...i'd like to hear that at PGCC  :-\

you r doing a great injustice to the UMCP compsci and engineering programs , which are tough programs
