Part 3- exposing college liberals

[Deleted]

Hey- I know very bright kids that go to BYU. They know what they are getting in to when they enroll. THAT is the difference between universities.

The thing is all universities religious, public, private, whatever get rid of professors etc. that don't tow their preferred lines whatever they are. To pretend that only
happens at "liberal" colleges, <insert ed's definition of liberal colleges here>, is just crazy thinking.

Norton takes up a lot of space. I thought my comp was no good any more, but got several more years out of it after I got rid of Norton. Good luck. The avast really worked well for me, runs in real time like Norton, but did not slow me down. Ccleaner is manually operated so does not slow you down at all. Must be very careful with free stuff, as some are actually viruses!! I unfortunately went through 2 of those before a board person recommended the Avast and Ccleaner to me. Comps are a pain in the azz. My new one (Toshiba) only cost $399, and I love it. Got it at evil Wal Mart (everyday low price) for over $100 less than anywhere else on SALE. ;D

That you fail to distinguish between the rights of public universities and those of private universities says much more about you than it does about anything else...

Another college liberal.. giggle, applause..

Most of the kids in college have never held a job, never paid any bills, never filled out an income tax form, etc. They can't relate to the concept of "personal responsibility". All they have ever had to do is go to class, and get their assignments done.

I was much the same way when I was a college student.

I bet, if the person who was taking that poll could track those same kids down 20 years from now, they'd have a little different viewpoint.

I'm a conservative, but there are things about Limbaugh and Hannity that drive me crazy, too! Even Herman Cain when he was on the radio. They get "preachy". And it's the same thing, day after day. I like shows better that take more call-ins. Because the callers might bring up slightly different topics.

My favorite talk show host is Neal Boortz. Yeah, he talks politics. But not ALL the time. His show is more varied, thus more entertaining.

So, a petition I'd like to see is one requiring Hannity, Limbaugh, etc to take more calls and shorten their monologue segments.

The average student age in the U.S. has been climbing steadily in recent years. At both Harvard and Notre Dame the average age is now 27. The University of Phoenix, which offers both online and traditional degree programs, has an average student age of 35-37. On a larger scale thirty-eight percent of all college students are now 25 or older, according to a recent U.S Census Bureau report ... blog.edvisors.com/online-education/the-average-age-of-students-is-on-the-upswing/

The University of Phoenix, I would not say is a college. Maybe there is a campus somewhere in Phoenix, but it's either on-line or in an office park somewhere around here. Not a traditional "college" by any means.

Those kids that the person was interviewing appeared to be late teens early 20s mostly.

So, when I was referring to "college", I was referring to your traditional "Liberal Arts" college.

Those colleges that are more geared towards promoting business degrees, or professional degrees, or computer degrees, or trades, would attract an older student, as they have found that to succeed, they need more of an education. (And I wonder if the interviewer would have been as successful in getting people to sign his petition at such schools.)

Edited to add:

Did you even read your own article? It said a lot of older people are going back to get MBAs and such? That's not the "College student" the guy was interviewing. Nor were any of those the 300,000 on-line students enrolled at U of Phoenix.

I am sorry. I responded to the comment that you made at the time. Now that you have redefined the term in the way that you desire, you have "proven" me incorrect. (btw, I would encourage you to rewatch the video to see how many non-young people are shown signing.)

Interesting statement. Not sure what the "rights" of public universities are as compared to private universities except the latter
are not regulated as much by the state they are in. I probably wouldn't call them rights though.

Yes, unlike you I don't look at the world with (liberal or) conservative glasses with deep worry the other side is gaining on me. Life is a team sport, it doesn't need to be us versus them.

[Opti]

So, I watched the beginning of the video. Looks like this was a setup and a vague we want
Beck and Rush off radio and TV petition. I bet you'd get similar results if you went out trying to get rid of Chris Matthews or even not letting Obama get air time on TV.

There are some people who are hypocrites. Not really news. Of course those who refused
didn't make the video, no surprise there.
