Ithica College students demand Preisdent resign (1 Viewer)

[RBM]

We finally have a proper letter to affix to this generation..."T" for tantrum.

Generation T. I like that.

before you know it those dirty hippies will be dodging the draft, having sex with each other and smoking reefer

Demonstrations in the 60s were protesting the Vietnam war now kids are in an uproar over halloween costumes and someone being called savage.

kids seem to be in an uproar over racial and income inequality.

The latter will always exist. Best they wake up and realize that before they enter the real world.

Sanders '16!!!!

It seems the only good thing coming out of college campuses these days is the abundance of yoga pants pics.

 

[ghostguy123]

Ithica? Did he make back in time for his history test? Bomb threat?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Just when you thought liberal dooshbags couldn't get more annoying.

There is nothing liberal about these folks. It's an insult to the term.

Wow, you're late to the party on this one, Tim, you can apply that elsewhere.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Is it just me or does the term "people of color" sound kinda offensive? "Colored" is way out of bounds, but "people of color" is cool now?

Thereyago. I agree. Totally senseless description.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Rand: Hey, poor boy! Go and have all your parties with all your new friends! I can see it now, Andrews. You and all the knee-jerk, bleeding-heart liberals, sipping tea and playing patty-cake. And those useless hippie pot-heads, those commie-pinko leftists. The bunny huggers, the pillow biters...

Droz: Whoa! Whoa! Which ones are the pillow biters again?

Rand: The BUTT-PIRATES! And those beastly man-haters, tell those chicks to shave their pits then call me! And those ####### whiny crybaby minorities, you can keep them all!

Droz: Rand McPherson, everybody. And don't forget the 9:30 show is completely different than the 7:30 show. Enjoy the veal!

That movie is unfailingly watchable.

I agree racial and income inequality will always exist. Personally, I find it hard to criticize their concerns even when the FFA thinks they are misguided.

Generation O for Offended.

Problem is...there's a lot of offended parents who raised this sniveling brood of the future.

Can't imagine what these kids children will be like...

sucks me in every time I see it on...and that's the edited version

 

[DoubleG]

Members of the campus community walked out Wednesday "for all the injustices students of color face on this campus and other colleges nationally."

"You must pay for all the offensive things you did!!....and the ones you didn't do too!!"

The "issue" stated was that two alumni used terminology that was racially incentive - for which the current President apologized (even though he himself did nothing wrong) and issued a statement regretting that the event was diminished by the comments by the alumni. Yep, sounds like a jerk to me!

There's a saying by Sun Tzu:

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Let's all chant "Free speech for me but not for thee!!!"

 

[jhib]

Sounds like the president isn't planning on stepping down voluntarily.

 

[squistion]

It has been for over a decade.

Since kids never like winding up like their parents, maybe, just maybe, the next generation will be the opposite and not easily offended.

We can only hope.

I would bet my entire net worth that 75%+ of the protesters are liberal.

Also in at 75%. Willing to go to 80% but that's my limit for wagering.

Yes, I'll take 83% as well. Thank you kindly.

What you guys mean is that they are leftist and I would agree. But , in the manner of extreme leftists, they have nothing in common with American liberalism.

 

[mr roboto]

Wat?

 

[Otis]

Ithaca: Christ it's boring here; let's find something to do.

 

[jon_mx]

Timmy is a funny guy. Nope, nothing leftist about this at all.

 

[jon_mx]

I would bet if any professor was outed in Ithaca as being conservative, he would be skinned alive. There probably isn't a spot more liberal in the us.

This is the product of extreme liberalism. The country needs to hope these are the #######s that stay home next November because they're not inspired by the old bag.

Aside from being on the left side of the political spectrum and voting Democrat.

 

[timschochet]

Yes it's on the left side of the political spectrum in the same way that fascism is on the right side of the political spectrum. And as far as voting Democrat, not if there is a Communist alternative.

This is the EXTREME LEFT. They have nothing to do with liberals. They don't like liberals. They are closer to Josef Stalin than they are to FDR. They don't like this country.

You talking about the tools from Ithaca or most of the people you side with on this board?

You don't think that kook Andrews is just like these kids?

I was talking about the fools from Ithica, the fools from Missouri, the Black Lives Matter movement, etc. and no I don't think Todd Andrews has anything in common with them, nor does any liberal I can think of on this board.

Tim you're looking at the new left in this country. This generation of militant tolerance and microagression and trigger warnings and perceived inequalities due to latent privilege and instant outrage before analysis. Honestly they probably will tone down as they age (many people float more toward the middle after their youthful passionate rhetoric gives way to increasing pragmatism) but your sliiiiiiiiiiighty left of center definition of 'liberal' is laughable.

These protestors ... they'd probably look at the political beliefs of, say, timschochet and Ann Coulter and consider the two positions too close to bother distinguishing between.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Just when you thought liberal dooshbags couldn't get more annoying.

There is nothing liberal about these folks. It's an insult to the term.

There is an ever expanding branch of liberalism for whom political correctness and victimhood are an orthodoxy, a religion as strongly adhered to as any of the more fanatical belief systems on the planet. They are an exact complimentary analog to the unthinking religious nuts on the political far right. Both are dangerous.

These folks may not fit your definition of a liberal. The zealots on the right do not fit my definition of a conservative. In the end our definitions do not matter so much as the reality of a seemingly increasing percentage of the population taking those unyielding to reason orthodox views. Folks for whom reason is no longer an option are dangerous.

Unless, of course, the are the logical result and outcome of the teachings and indoctrination of that philosophy, which frankly, they are. This end point was easily predicted decades ago, and yet that conclusion was dismissed as paranoia. No, the left, but whatever label owns this just as the right owns the sins you so clearly see on that side of the spectrum, and which, in all fairness, exist.

Madison Wisconsin. Berkley.

Yeah, when I realize that Minnesota is pretty politically conservative compared to other pockets of America, it really Keerock's me.

Don't look now Tim, but what you are seeing now is probably going to manifest itself in some sort of liberal "faction" in the dem party similar to the Tea Party in the GOP. It's another boogeyman to be worried about.

I have been waiting patiently for this type of thread from him.Maybe a poll as to which is a bigger threat?

Didn't Norman Dale coach at Ithaca?

Yeah, couldn't keep his fist of that boys face.

I don't need a poll.i have warned about this sort of thing since the Occupy movement started. Extremism and populism threaten us from both sides. Right now the Tea Party is the bigger threat because they're better organized and entrenched into the political system. But that could easily change.

 

[Ladsud]

Microagressions triggered the resignation.
