    No it's for throwing because now they have a taste of the real world and realize they aren't as important as they thought they were. Why not get the education you're going into debt slavery for verses idiotic personal development

    They should focus on education or take a year off to be stupid. College is expensive and you can be a wailing brat for free.

    A few morning thoughts on allowing socially immature, intellectually undeveloped and inexperienced minds (18-22 years old) make decisions for themselves and society at large:

    Unsustainable.

    Lord of The Flies.

    Mob rule.

    Zero equity built or at risk.

    Khmer Rouge - Child Soldiers.

    You're probably right to a great extent. Campus SJW's poised to graduate without marketable skills are likely auditioning for jobs as professional activist, and paid lobbyists. It's way easier to imagine it's all about building a resumè, than feeling oppressed.

    I don't even think it's that. You have to convince people they need you in order to be a successful activist. These people are simply throwing a fit to get attention. Starve them. If they want to remove some obscure monument don't pay them any mind. What are they going to do? Rage louder at a def audience?

    Yeah ... I've made the "year zero" comparison a lot myself. But I hadn't gotten around to "Lord of the Flies". I intended to roll that out after 2018 mid-terms, but the "adults" (voters) never arrived to admonish the "savages" (DNC) and resucue the "civilized" survivors. But per the campus "savages", I've begun to wonder if they aren't auditioning for activism, or lobbying jobs. Some might be paid for the "activism" underway on campus.

    Nope, all their educators who are not patriots need to go. It's one thing to want to make the country better. It's another to want to overthrow the government and hide it's past. They are too ignorant to know the difference because they weren't taught all sides and allowed to make their own decisions without bias.

    Where are all the parents who don't like their children being brainwashed?

    Really? You don't think that organizing a successful lobbying campaign that forces a college administration to cave to your groups demands is resumè material? Good MSM / social media coverage would make you a stand out, even if the effort wasn't successful.

    The development that you have undergone, however, must be understood by them. Just give them time ...

    I suppose they do their political activities during their leisure time.

    Problem is that kind of job, you know one that is rather meaningless that involves a lot of idiots sucking up to you, and after a certain point of time you can't get fired only attracts the dregs of society.

    Thinking they are doing good for their child because in average people who go to college make more money and somehow people don't understand how averages work.

    Considering the downward spiral the media is in now, I don't think it's worth a hill of beans. Not like a real skill.

    They are paying for it themselves they bought that time. It just seems stupid to squander it.



    Students that graduate and then go into careers study in their leisure time. Future McDonald's employees with PhD in stupidity spend life regretting being an idiot during college.

    Lord of the Flies?? Seriously? Comparing stranded early and pre teens struggling for survival to College Seniors on Long Island?? I mean I suspect Long Island can be a tough place to live but....

    And "Mob rule" is not what I'm suggesting... Voting!! 90%+ of college students are eligible to vote for president.... they cannot be allowed to vote how their campus is organized??

    What would you set the voting age at? 35??

    Silliness dude... But I still respect you, Labour...

    Why does the RW constantly insist that they know not only what other people (who don't share their political beliefs) are thinking, and doing, but also what they will be thinking and doing in the future. Retrumplicans make up a scenario, and then they bitch and moan about how "Leftists" are and/or will respond to their manufactured incident. It's bizarre. I never see Dems doing that, they are more prone to deal with real issues.

    No loss to them. Students are already getting ripped off. Why do you think Universities bring in more foreign students each year? So they can charge more for more $$.

    The America the world has known has been a thing of the past since Trump came down the escalator. Those of you who can't see it are blinded by your allegiance to your Dear Leader who has given his approval to openly express your hatred, bigotries and racism against minorities, while simultaneously villainizing those who speak out against such atrocities.

    You have no explanation for the bizarre behavior I referred to and therefore I'm a troll (and a fledgling Troll at that, lol!)? Not very original or convincing are you? But then, one must consider the source.[/QUOTE]

    I don't think anybody really understood the significance of the escalator at the time... It's pretty clear he cannot be trusted to descend stationary steps..

    Most of the hate rhetoric I have seen comes from people like you. People who protest atrocities need to be sure atrocities have occurred rather than following marching orders from Left Wing Central.

    that is why you do not add political or religions propaganda to a school, it may someday upset many on both sides no matter what you do

    same for business, if you say your pro-trump, you just lost all your dem support and visa versa
