Uh no, I stated that Universities are left-leaning and that was true... in fact your quotes further supported it. Thus, the socialists keep them.

My point was that any leaning in College has most likely very little to do with how they really feel about things. It more then likely has more to do with peer pressure, and still learning the issues.

Well that's kinda the point... you need to think a little for it. I know it's hard ;)

Its a man made institution. If you can't understand how that alone makes it not a god given right then you are not worth my time.

Because everyone can go to private schools or colleges... :rolleyes:

Anyone can start a school, Jacks.

You certainly didn't make your point very clearly, initially. In fact, after clarification it's still a little shaky. :)

By the way, why are you being so condescending to Larkin and "conservatives", in general? There's the comment in this quote and the other one you made about conservatives not needing an education. I'm just asking because you don't usually resort to that kind of thing.

Well the slap on Larkin was in response to:
Phopojijo can't put enough of his brain cells together to get that.
As for being condescending to conservatives... I was also making fun of the rhetoric "how Universities are hotbeds for hippy pot-smoking liberals" so... I was joking. Does everything I write need to have a serious connotation?

...
...

Not that Larkin needed to defend his sleight on me, personally, of course -- in a completely non-satirical context... is it just expected from him?

Think beyond the blind neocon-rage... I was making a joke and yet you couldn't see that because of your absolutely terrible ideology-bias. Honestly, you thought a joke about my own ideology was a slight on your ideology. Seriously dude... don't blind yourself with your own opinions... there are reasons why "The world according to larkin" follows you >_>

Was this here before? I swear I didn't see this when I responded to this post earlier.

Tell me, where are you or your left leaning friends not blinding yourself with your own opinions? Well?

Btw, learn what neocon means or better yet learn what my views are and then compare them to a neocons.

I remember reading about the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" somewhere. Don't know where it was... oh well, must not have been that important.
In general the constitution grants you "negative liberties", as some (obama), would call them. Things that can't be taken away from you. This means that "freedom of speech" can't be taken away, but the government doesn't have to buy you a microphone. "right to bear arms" also means they can't take your guns, but again, they don't have to be provided from the government.

The states are left to give you "positive liberties" and are able to make their own social "experiments". If they fail, then it's a localized failure. Or, if you don't like what's going on, there's other states you can pick from.

Edit time said it was ~2 minutes before you posted your post... so it was probably edited after you started typing it up.

I can take a joke about my ideology (see: this thread {OP specifically}) and not get pissed off personally... but one mention about conservatives and education and you go KABLOOEY ((best demoman accent possible)).
