You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Let's just be absolutely clear, here. A topic calling a conservative book a "crazy person book" is acceptable. Calling him out on this is not. They say my response was trolling, but this topic was not.

When I contested it, or whatever, they said that that's because nobody marked the topic.

Well, I guess I'm "nobody." My marks don't make a difference because I'm one of the few who thinks for themselves. Speak against the herd and you will be dealt with, be sure of that.

Hm. Still trying to grok everything I read, but initial impressions.

There is definitely a left-leaning bias in Universities. It's really not that bad, though. There was only one class where I felt my personal opinions ever actually hurt me, and it was taught by someone who was mostly a women's studies teacher (though it was an English class). I simply wrote whatever I thought she wanted to hear after the first couple of assignments and aced it, yet I argued my own opinion in class (90% discussion-based) and had a lot of people agreeing with what I said. Good enough.

To say these institutions brain-wash people is to under-estimate your fellow man. They were brain-washed by their parents long before they could ever attend college/university.

@Metroid - Thanks for the clarification on liberal/conservative. The use of those words has been an issue throughout my life in many ways. That aside, I'd like to talk about two conspiracy theories from the 1960's. One was the assassination of JFK. The records being locked up for 75 years to protect the people involved, that sounds really bad. There's not a lot of evidence available to the public period, but the government hiding what they could have had looks pretty bad. Were top-level government or military personnel involved? Who knows?

Operation Northwoods. A plan for false-flag attacks on the U.S. in order to justify a war with Cuba. Well, ya know, there's clearly documented evidence that no one denies anymore that says that **** was real. Top-level military personnel were planning to carry out terrorist attacks to justify a war against Cuba... "just in case." And one of those plans happened to be exactly the same as the scenario that justified out entry into Vietnam, BTW.

To say that elements of the government would never attack their own people to get what they want is naive. Extremely naive. When their plans go public and they stop denying the fact that they made those plans that's an admission of guilt, and if they thought about it once why couldn't they have done it once or more? I'm not saying I agree with every conspiracy theory, but I will say none of them are crazy until proven absolutely false. And since the 9/11 records are sealed up for so long I may never see them in my lifetime, that book isn't closed.

BT with the victory!

There is definitely a left-leaning bias in Universities.

Could you be more specific about this? There isn't necessarily any left-leaning bias in your example. You say you aced the English class because you told your teacher what she wanted to hear, but do you think you would've failed it if you hadn't done so?

I've been studying at a university for 4+ years and I haven't seen any left-leaning bias. This "FIGHT THE BRAINWASHING PROFESSORS" stuff is so ridiculous to me.
