Man, we need to switch towns. I almost have to whisper that I am liberal here because most everyone is conservative and some are not friendly about it.

Anyway, we have totally different views, but regardless it sucks when you feel like everyone is against you. Chin up, kid.

it's good to have opposing veiws... it makes for good discussion! liberals are needed just as much as conservatives, but i just don't like the bias in my classes, and i think you can agree with me on that. if you're going to tell one side of the story, present the other side. but, yeah... i really don't like how liberal flint is.

i'll talk to you later, gator!

Sometimes you have to fight against an argument to understand it. If I asked "which is better for you- injecting a syringe full of drano into your jugular or shooting yourself in the head with a 12 gauge shotgun?" and demanded to know which of the two was more or less healthy, it would take a lot of guts to admit that it doesn't matter. Both would kill you. The real issue is "why the Hell would we do that in the first place ( ... )

Another thing you might find interesting.

September, 2003, I was molested by a cop at about 4:00 AM.

I don't know why. I'm a pretty ugly white male, but.... hey, whatever floats his boat.

Still, how should I feel having been sexually abused by a cop, eh?

I wasn't talking about banning material like this BUT when you are involved in material like this, little red flags go up in the authorities' minds and you could act out like these individuals. I believe in freedom of speech to the extent of which you don't threaten somebody else's bodily harm. I want to be a police offcier, that's why i'm sticking to this insane class. I wish i could post lecture notes on here so you could see my half and why I am the way I am ( ... )

With all due respect, you completely had me. I understand your displeasure against the liberal bias (which is often awful), and then you go and post something from The O'Reilly Factor. I'll make you a deal- I'll not quote anything from people who think police are Nazis and you don't post anything from Limbaugh, Coulter, or O'Reilly.

I'm actually being serious. O'Reilly is incredibly right-winged and unbelievably unfair in regards to other view points.

You could act out like those individuals.... But should we ban history books that show that Jack the Ripper got away with murder in White Chapel? I mean, people could act that out too ( ... )

hey, I'm liberal too.

really.

in the traditional and correct sense of the term, I am. in the warped, modern sense, I'm obviously not.

and discussion is good. one idea sparks many more and onward goes society. the trick is to remain calm and factual instead of pulling hair and getting irate.
