Re: Thomas Jefferson VS Faulkner
First, you have two threads on the same question. mods, do your thing.
Second, "In order to receive the best feedback in this forum, please provide as much of the following information in your original post as possible:

-The total Cost of Attendance (COA) of each. COA = cost of tuition + fees + books + cost of living (COL) + accumulated interest - scholarships. Here is a helpful calculator.
-How you will be financing your COA, i.e. loans, family, or savings
-Where you are from and where you want to work, and other places where you have significant ties (if any)
-Your general career goals
-Your LSAT/GPA numbers
-How many times you have taken the LSAT"

I thought this was a thread pitting one great American thinker vs another.

Re: Thomas Jefferson VS Faulkner
Jefferson led a pretty incredible life. Faulkner's writing is more enjoyable to read. Tough call! I'm going to lean Jefferson on this one, but I think either choice is defensible.RancidSumo wrote:I choose to follow this interpretation and the answer is obviously Faulkner.BigZuck wrote:I thought this was a thread pitting one great American thinker vs another.

So you fall more into the "the rural south is a grotesque cesspool" camp than the "the rural south is the heart of America" camp?RancidSumo wrote:I choose to follow this interpretation and the answer is obviously Faulkner.

Re: Thomas Jefferson VS Faulkner
I don't you can compare the too. Thomas Jefferson was a 18th century Southern Politician. A founding father,political thinker,and slave owner. Faulkner was a novelist and poet. Jefferson wrote political non-fiction, Faulkner wrote a political poems and fictional novels. Apples and Oranges

Honestly the Sound and the Fury is the only Faulkner novel worth paying sticker for.

Which religious figure was better: Jesus or Buddha? I mean, just in terms of not letting themselves get crucified.

Thomas Jefferson has a bigger historical footprint. Definitely a more important person. That doesn't necessarily speak to their merits, but Jefferson is definitely more preftigious.

I'd take Jesus over Buddha. You get more of an alumni base to network with.

IDK, with 5 1/2 of the Supreme Court justices, it's clear that for BIGSCOTUS your only options are Moses or Jesus.Traynor Brah wrote:Jesus = the Cooley of alumni bases.KMart wrote:I'd take Jesus over Buddha. You get more of an alumni base to network with.

Cooley, too, has a few notable people in its alumni base. For example: that one NHL coach.nothingtosee wrote:IDK, with 5 1/2 of the Supreme Court justices, it's clear that for BIGSCOTUS your only options are Moses or Jesus.Traynor Brah wrote:Jesus = the Cooley of alumni bases.KMart wrote:I'd take Jesus over Buddha.

Re: Thomas Jefferson VS Faulkner
We are discussing the literary merit of historical figures since nobody could figure out how this applied to law school. Unfortunately, several plebs have chimed in with their incorrect opinions. Out of the four, Faulkner is the only one to turn out any real literature. Everything he wrote is a masterpiece. Jesus gets partial credit for his contributions to the King James Bible. Thomas Jefferson and Buddha have no discernible talent between them. I can't think of a single thing either one wrote that anyone cares to read.ilikebaseball wrote:what is happening itt

Re: Thomas Jefferson VS Faulkner
If i could go back in time and kill a single person in history before they accomplished their life's work, it would be Faulkner. I hate everything he wrote with the same passion that I hate antivaxxers and clothing brands that only sell women's pants with one inseam length. My senior year of high school was one long miserable slog through his entire bibliography and I wanted to kill myself.
