But Ozzy! The universities are bastions of free speech and it's just conservative whiners

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I really don't notice anything. We have a group on campus called the Young Republicans, and another called Young Democrats. I'm allowed to speak my opinions in class, and every single one of my profs have respected me (and sometimes more then often agreed with me). And I go to... gasp... Cali, erhm Mexifornia.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Well, thanks for the thread Ozzy, but I've already seen that link.
And that's one of the reasons I'm enjoying my break from university.
It's heaven. I show up for work, and I get paid. What more could I ask for?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

As for free speech on my campus, I've been insulted, spat at, had eggs tossed at me, shouted at through bullhorns (rather pointless since I'm deaf).
So tell me again about a 'marketplace of ideas.'
It may be a marketplace, but with only one shop to buy things from.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Do you really want to know?Then what the heck are you doing for people to do this to you?
I can send you the pictures we put up via PM.
Here's a hint, if we can't even look at it, why should we allow others to have that choice?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Comparisions between the victims of the holocaust and the victims of abortion makes us hatemongers?Institutes of progressive thought tend to frown upon those of us with thinly veiled archaic hatemongering.
I should think it to be the other way around. The advocates of abortion don't seem to care much for unborn children.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Oh you are talking about abortion. Well, I'm against abortion (in most cases, expect with incest and rape where it should be an option).Originally posted by Ben Kenobi

If it is anti-gay stuff you are doing on the other hand, I would be happy to toss rotten eggs at you.
So then again, no need to send those photos..For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Nope. We just show people what abortion really does, which is pretty gruesome.If it is anti-gay stuff you are doing on the other hand, I would be happy to toss rotten eggs at you.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
