Are you capable of having a thought without someone spoon-feeding it to you first?

Do you leave your brain on the night stand when you come home?

Uh, I was the one that disagreed with any such assertion.
uh, not you didn't. but more to the point, i was responding to your claim about the "take-away" from the article you posted.

Will it *eventually* get the way you describe? Given enough time and enough leeway, it could indeed.
given enough time, almost anything "could" happen. and wtf do you mean by "the way you describe"?!? i didn't describe anything, i issued a challenge.

But I'm not asserting that to be the current state, nor have I ever done so. I think you jumped too quickly.
and i think you didn't read me at all. like above, where you claim you disagreed with yourself and then ask if a prediction i never made could come to pass.

anyone who honestly thinks that claim is a fact likely never went to university themselves.


if by "much" you mean 'some', then whatever. but if by "much" you mean 'most', then now you get to explain to me exactly how liberal you think the average provost or regent is. part of your disconnect is that you seem a little fuzzy about what precisely academia entails, though i'll admit it's a common misperception..

I'm not going to do 4 or 5 or 6 quotes all in a single post--pick a question or two. The quoting software here is awful.

Here's a quote: "What does political affiliation matter in teaching someone a non political subject?"

You either misread the post and my posting, or you're phoning it in since I've not advocated nor asserted any of that.

wrong on all counts, as usual.

and you have misread me by a country lightyear. first you misread my exactly™ post as if i was responding to your article and came down on entirely the wrong side of my point -- but i ignored that and responded to your article anyways. and now, you're misreading me yet again by taking that response and twisting it into some sort of accusation about what you may or may not have said. great, you never said stuff. congrats. i never said you did.

meanwhile, the article you posted is shit. just my opinion, since you kinda asked.

Again, please read the link that you're (allegedly) responding to. Nothing in it really discusses "teaching" by otherwise harmless "liberals".

haha yeah, gray doesn't exist. some=all except for when some=none. academia is a lost cause, burn your finance diploma.

Have you ever considered that perhaps you're not quite the poster that you imagine yourself to be, and that you occasionally *suck* at making an actual point rather than dueling pointless linguistics?

So just because it being implied isn't enjoyable enough:

Larry has now refused 4 times to respond to a single question I asked him directly by pretending I didn't say "I am not asking the article I am asking you"

it's really a single question.

Ask me a question that is addressed in the article--I'd be happy to hand you your ass in such a matter.

If you don't have a question that is addressed in the article, perhaps go do something else while the rest of us discuss it.

So I'm supposed to take seriously an objection that begins with questioning whether campuses regularly skew left?

Come on man, you're better than this. Pick a better topic to spend your time on.

I don't care about the article because I'm not reading the article. In the "random crap thread" I'm asking you what you think is the problem with any particular political affiliation when teaching factual subject matter. Your refusal to answer it and attempt to pretend that I somehow need to destroy one of your opinions by tying it into an article I don't give half of a shit about is extremely revealing.

Then I won't bother responding to defend the article since you haven't read it to begin with. The article made no mention of "teaching as a liberal" being the problem, but because you're too intellectually lazy to actually READ the article you half-assed many responses to, you've demonstrated again that you're still largely a waste of time.

Try us again in 10 years when you've experienced some more of that world you think you want to live in.

So that's what all of your posts lack substance and are just bullshit lies. K. Got it.
