Oh yeah it was just her twitter, not her creating an event on campus for the school that openly told whites and any men that they couldn't go. Seriously, you are hitting an all time low.

There was no reason to ever investigate. This investigation was simple harassment and nothing else.

I don't agree that it is market forces that is causing such political correctness in Universities.Those students are going to the University regardless of the outcome.

I'm also not against unions per se and I think they were probably necessary as a reaction to conditions created by manufacturers in the late 1800's.

What conservatives oppose are that unions use legislation to make membership mandatory. A union is a result of the free market working. Employees realizing their labor is worth more than they are getting paid if they pool their negotiating power together and forming a voluntary association with one another.

Also, the heavily subsidized nature of Universities today is a far cry from a free market.

Experts Urge Congress to Protect Free Speech on Campus

Asking for government regulation... Though if all they're asking for is to get rid of free speech zones then that's a small request.

Megan Kelly's interview of the Duggars was, well, not good. Seems like a big chunk of the right will go down with the ship on the nice Christian teenage boy fondling his sisters.

I saw a CNN "is Christianity under attack" thing at the gym that appeared to be in relationship to this. How the **** did these wackjobs become some symbol of faith such that they're the hill people want to die on?

What would your solution be?
How are the policies perpetuating poverty? AA would seem to get more kids from disadvantaged backgrounds into 4yr colleges which greatly increases their earning potential (lifetime)...

It was more a soft puff piece than an interview. Then she milked the last minute as a tease to her Friday segment with the daughters. Pretty disgusting to see the coverup of a pervert and his pathetic family. The scorn from the Duggers, and Miss Megan was that the juvi records became public. Christians with no moral compass, let their ship sink to the abyss.

Right. She is the diversity officer and wanted a meeting of minorities to start a dialogue on how best to do her job. She also planned to so other meetings that were fully inclusive.

Holy **** are white men, like you not me let's be honest here, so insecure about losing their grip on power that one meeting without them on an issue that doesn't concern them is too far?

The only offensive thing she did is misuse her official twitter one time. Which yeah whatever give her a warning etc for discipline. Everything else was either a perfectly logical decision best for her job as part of her job, or stuff on her personal social media.

Also for the record this was a free speech issue for you last week until you remembered you were pro free speech. Apparently it's all about a meeting now.

Row you claimed that the Duggars were good parents who raised their children with values. So is the issue there that you think that curriculum is good, and ikes should consider it?

Is the curriculum of homosexuals responsible for their being homosexual? Is the curriculum of any person who has some sort of different sexual taste than the societal norm responsible? Were they not raised with values? Were their parents not good? As always your post is lacking any depth of thought or meaningful substance.

Spoiler:
The curriculum has nothing to do with that issue.


This is not making a judgement against homosexuals or any other person with differing sexual orientation, its meant to show that right or wrong we are who we are. Obviously homosexuality falls into a different legal standing because its between two consenting adults but to talk about values and morality in regards to atypical sexual behavior seems stupid for an advocate of LGBT rights.

The issue here is you shouldn't talk about other posters' wives.

Actually the homeschooling program is responsible for lots of cases of abuse according to people who left the cult. It basically leaves girls and young women ignorant of what is happening to them, it tells them they are responsible for men lusting after them and if they overcome these two barriers to reporting the abuse they are often blamed by the cult for what happened. Apparently after the duggar kid molested his sisters and was caught the first time he read the Bible a bit and his victims were forced to publicly forgive him for what he did and they had to apologise to him over it.

That cult is super ****ed up you guys before we even touch how women are raised to be ignorant, uneducated breeding factories subservient entirely to their fathers and then their husband and that having children is de facto more important than their health or mental wellbeing.

Its also a guide to living in poverty and working your way down the ladder. One family gets TV monies but the others with 6+ kids surviving on the average single salary are just completely ****ed.

Interesting article about how U.S. intervention in WWI ****ed up the European political order for decades:

Quote:
It’s clear, with a century of hindsight, what a Europe without Wilson and his Fourteen Points would look like. A compromise peace would have allowed the Germans to quickly crush Russia’s nascent Bolshevik thugocracy like a bug, as they planned to do. Without the Bolshevik threat, European politics would have been transformed in positive ways, for without the Communist menace, which was real, with violent Red revolutions in Hungary and Germany in 1919, far-right extremists like Mussolini and Hitler would have enjoyed limited appeal. It’s easy to see the angry Austrian painter wasting his subsequent decades selling postcards on the streets of Vienna or Munich, as he did before the Great War — and not taking over anything more important than his current flophouse.

While Imperial Germany was not a postmodern liberal’s dream, neither was it a totalitarian place — comparisons between the Second and Third Reichs are very flattering to the former — and besides a German-dominated Europe is what we have today anyway, a century later. Moreover, the survival of the Habsburg realm in some fashion would have brought Central and Southeastern Europe a degree of peace it has not enjoyed since before 1914.

Yeah, I saw something similar on the Atlantic yesterday. It's an interesting idea. The notion that the German dominance of Europe today would be comparable to the German dominance of Europe under an intact Second Reich is pretty bad, though.
06-04-2015 , 11:44 AM
It's awfully confident language for pure speculation.

Well obviously the question is how the German Empire would have evolved politically in the last century absent national humiliation, a communist empire to the east and the dismantling of central Europe.

Yes. I don't know the other mods and they get no benefit from me being around so it's just like a real union.
