:: Go Figure, Part II ::
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about some things that I simply couldn't understand. Well, I found something else to add to that list.

I recently read about an "academic" rite in a certain school that involves jumping from a 30 foot height to prove one's willingness to take risks. My friend was outraged by the practice. Personally, I have no qualms about jumping 30 feet, but I don't understand how it could be a requirement for graduation.

The rationale for the high jump is this: the willingness to jump 30 feet into a pool of water equates to the willingness to take risks, and therefore, the ability to become a great entrepreneur. This reasoning, mind you, comes from the same people who refuse to admit females into the program because they naturally have better entrepreneurial skills than males do. I am amazed, I am boggled, I am... I don't know. Their logic is just way beyond my comprehension.

I am outraged. Isn't this just stupid. It's like this tribe that got featured on the Discovery Channel - they make the young boys bungee off a man-made scaffolding (of an oak-tree's height) with only vines tied to their ankles as a rite to manhood. They difference is, they don't have a pool of water. It's just the ground.

Kung mauntog ka't mamatay, sorry ka nalang. Patay ka na nga, hindi ka pa "man".
