I love screwing with people. Hell, Im pretty sure I offend people at least once and hour. My reaction to their discumfort ranges from 'I dont really care' to 'lets see how much I can make them squirm'. Ill admit to being contrarian, a bit sadistic and even a little vulgar. Nothing is more fun that twisting the panties of uptight establish-Nazis. Higher Ed needs a new free speach movement. 2) When did you discover your sexual identity... Heh! God I could have fun with that one! I swear, sometimes I play with the idea of becoming a Catholic just so I could see if I could freak out a confessional priest.

This is why my son transferred to pure science courses.

After one character's long discussion of physics, heavy water, fission and so on, the Nazi on hand says, "Yes, but is this German science, or Jewish science?" Why are these academic Dons unable to question their basic assumptions about human nature? It truly bewilders and astonishes me.

These people run the universities and have the responsibility of seeing your children into responsible adulthood. Thank goodness for FIRE!!!

This is further evidence of why we cannot trust Democrats to fight the war on terror. Far too many of them are guilt tripped over race. They are existentially incapable of confronting dark skinned people who commit evil acts. Hearing constantly that one is a vile racist also encourages self-hatred. You are supposedly too disgusting to be worthy of defending yourself from attack. “such as the fact that “racist” applies to all whites in the U.S. “regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality.”
