AKA Trolling and having no life. Your clone SVRT seems to be moving up in the ranks quite quickly. May even overtake you.

Teapot? Your kettle is calling.

Dam straight it is funny coming from the guy who has accumulated 1,325 posts in ~2.5 months.

Whereas I have 5939 posts in 3.5 years..

Oh my, if only? I'd love to be such a straight up honest to goodness billionaire like youself but I'm plum stupid, just have my humour to keep me going. Boy oh boy, I'm so glad you put my feet back down on the ground BY, thank you so much.

Don't turn this on me.

You are the one who use wit to ridicule others.

Damn, do I BY? Crikey, tsk tsk, such a bad habit, I really am going to have to quit doing that.

And you are the one who boasts about how many degrees and how much money and property you have when your opinions are challenged.

I don't stereotype. You do. Kaydee does.

In order for you to justify that or deflect - you need to make out that I'm no better than you. Seems clear to me.

Of course - you aren't exactly the poster boy for people of "differing views", there are plenty of people I've disagreed with that I don't have an issue with. My problem is, as I said, with the stereotyping - which is apparent in this thread - along with the provocative implication that as a "stereotypical liberal" I'm somehow obligated to defend positions that I didn't hold in the first place.

Obviously you cannot be a true American liberal as you only moved here recently. Your views also do not conform to the 'stereotypical' alex+r style of views.

Nonetheless, one can define what the 'stereotypical' liberal believes in. This is not generalizing. I posted some of the common liberal American views in another thread.

Yet you still prove you need more air outside.

If you felt more comfortable about yourself you might be attacking people on irrelevant sh!t a lot less. Your attempts at compensating for something is well evident.

I am still waiting on being enlighten by your education and what you actually did at google.

enlightened?

Redneck is a race? Wow, who knew?

Redneck is a race? Wow, who knew?

As much as African Americans are a race.

The roots of this logic can be traced back to something a four year old conjured up.

As can the ####### you post.

As someone from Redneck Central I can assure you it isn't and people will quite proudly call themselves RN...heck I even remember a huge hit song by Gretchen Wilson not that long ago titled "Redneck Woman."

exactly

redneck is a derogatory term used describe hillbilly white folks...so yes it is racist. by your logic the N word isn't racist coz some proudly call themselves it & there are many 'hit songs' w/ people calling themselves the N word. one of my all time fav hip-hop groups N.W.A. comes to mind.

Main Entry:red·neck

Pronunciation: \ˈred-ˌnek\

Function:noun

Date:1830

1. sometimes disparaging : a white member of the Southern rural laboring class

Denotes race, but not racist.

Good for you - but that wasn't what I was getting at.

exactly. if it was racist, why is it on the back of so many trucks in the south?

Notice the date. Someone from a blue state using this term is not doing so in a complimentary way.

Plus context is key. As in the case of negro.

The same reason *** is used by some many African Americans. I would like to see someone white use this word.

1) World Net Daily is hardly a reliable source for information. They make Fox News look like they are actually fair and unbiased.

2) What other sources do you have other than what the Denver Post extracted from the TV station and from the World Net Daily? Do we have any comments from the professors and students other than Jana Barber? Did she provide a syllabus or a document handed out by the professor outlining the assignment? As far as it you can tell from this Denver Post article this is all purely "hearsay."

It's a breaking story I guess and I couldn't get access to other sources. I somehow doubt you research every article you comment on. You could have looked up some counter sources but your liberal education didn't teach you that.

My liberal education taught me to go over information with a critical eye. I had professors on the far left and the far right and I'm glad I did as I was exposed to many different thoughts and opinions. Maybe we should ask the question of why aren't there more conservative professors...or why do conservatives tend not to want to teach at university level?

You had far right professors? Were they in glass display cases?

I've wondered why there are few minority teachers in American public schools compared to their numbers in the population. People choose fields and some ideologies are predominant. I can't foresee a time when affirmative action would apply to political leanings so the tenor of college classrooms isn't likely to change. The only recourse is for students to challenge professor's positions but that's dangerous for your grades or job recommendations. I would say colleges could have alternative views from speakers invited to campus but on a lot of campuses they get the pie-in-the-face treatment or are shouted down.

umm... i don't see the N word on any trucks in the south...?

No just in public and in rap videos.

i hope you aren't talking about me?

No in general.
