\_ ACADEMIA IS AN EVIL COMMIE LIBERAL THING! FUCK ACADEMIA!
\_ what a backwards and frighteneing organization
\_ You and people like you make me ashamed to be affiliated with
Berkeley.
\_ Uh? Did you *read* the top ten list? You're just trolling,
right? You think firing people because they mock the
PC agenda in academia and in the arts is what made this country
great? Even as a troll you're pretty scary.
great? Or the kid they had sent to the psych ward for being
Christian? Or walking around Berkeley nude is a reasonable
part of a state sponsored education? Book burning in Berkeley?
Madness.... true madness.
\_ You have made up your mind that this prof. was fired for
not being PC solely on the basis of a paragraph in this
posting this link. And why do anti-left posts censored
on the motd? Just let the discussion happen...
one article?
\_ You're right. It's all a lie. Thanks for keeping me
informed with alternative information sources. None of it
happened. It's just the VRWC.

\_ That's what I'm saying.

\_ That's hardly what I said. Why are you so offended
\_ *LAUGH* There's no evidence because it gets censored!
by someone requiring corroboration for an intreperation
of events?
\_ Offended? Only the left gets "offended". I object
to you choosing 1 thing of 10 posted and making it
as if that was the only thing said. Go do your
own google search to disprove it. No one has a
responsibility to do your counter research for you.
\_ What exactly are you trying to accomplish by posting this
link and the two below? Are you trying to show us that some
people associated with the broad group that is the left
engage in idiotic behavior sometimes? If so, we're all well
aware of this, thanks. I think you'll be hard pressed to
find a group with more than 10 people for which this isn't
true. Are you trying to convince us that we should join the
X-tian right? I don't think posting links to the motd is the
path to success there.
\_ more to the point is WHY you are so offended by someone
posting this link. And why do anti-left posts get censored
on the motd? Its good that the bad side of the left be
exposed, just like the right gets hammered all the time,
Just let the discussion happen...
\_ I'm not offended, I just want to know what your goal is.
Though I don't see evidence of the censorship you are talking
about...
\_ *LAUGH* There's no evidence because it gets ______ed!
Must such an obvious concept be spelled out? Were you
just trolling? Ow, my sides hurt from laughing. I love
the motd.
\_ My stuff gets "censored" all the time. Please look
up the word "censor" and try again. Truth is fiction.

\_ Ok. Here it is from http://dictionary.com:
v. tr. cen7sored, cen7sor7ing, cen7sors.
To examine and expurgate.
I don't think censor means what you think it means.
\_ censor:
1.A person authorized to examine books, films,
or other material and to remove or supress what
is considered morally, politically, or otherwise
objectionable.
2.An official, as in the armed forces, who examines
personal mail and official dispatches to remove
remove information considered secret or a risk
to security.
3.One that condemns or censures.
4.One of two officials in ancient Rome responsible
for taking the public census and supervising
public behavior and morals.
5.Psychology. The agent in the unconscious that
is responsible for censorship.
The only definition that makes any sense at all with
your problem is number 5, and I don't think you are
either clever or self-aware enough to be referring
to it. Please speak English, not NewSpeak. -ausman
\_ hey dude, you looked up the wrong entry. you
want the definition of censor the VERB. the
other guy had it right.
\_ It's only ausman. What did you expect? Like I
said, it doesn't mean what he thinks it means.
\_ Uh, dude -- we are discussing a URL you posted right
now. And this is not the first time in the last
several weeks that there has been a lengthy discussion
about an article from a conservative news source.
\_ Yes. Some sneak by. Most get deleted within a few
minutes. The more solid the info in the URL, the
more likely it is to get chopped. But you knew that.
\_ A lot of students go to Cal for the Liberal/Radical rep,
get bummed out when they meet actual radicals and
reactionaries, and leave as NIMBY moderates.
Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
\_ I came to Cal at 17 as a blank slate. Never thought
anything about politics of any sort before college.
I was inundated with PC-ism and left Cal as a
conservative because what they said made more sense
than the book burners and hypocrites on the left.
\_ Now see here, this is a pity: if you'd gone to
BYU, you'd be batting for the other side!
\_ The truth is the truth. I didn't come away
from Cal as a bible thumping social
conservative. I came away from Cal thinking
the entire PC agenda was a crock of shit. Had
I attended BYU, the illogic of the left would
remain the same.
\_ Liberals *know* that they are correct, from thier point
of view, censoring a non-liberal statement is the act
of making sure that incorrect information is not spread
around. After all, what would the world come to if people
didn't all agree on the liberal point of view? |
